Office Politics

"While office politics may be considered to be a fact of business life, it can cause problems both inside and outside company walls. Office politics is often ingrained in the fabric of an organization so they can't easily be changed."

I have a co-worker who I can't stand!! She came to us from another department where she was not liked by her co-workers but was the chosen favorite to the supervisor because of her friends in "higher" positions. She has been here for 4 months and still the smallest of tasks she screws up, (and when you bring them to the manager who is the only one that can fix them), she is mad at you . She's not the favorite anymore now that she's here, but it makes me sick how much she still gets away with just because she's friends with "higher ups". I can't even stand the sight of her just knowing how she acts. She refuses to admit to her mistakes, it is always someone elses fault.. the person that trained her, or someone else did it and put her name on it. She makes me sick. I want to tell her off so bad. The worst thing is , is that because of who her friends are she'll never be fired, she'll just keep getting handed off from department to department and it's not fair the the other 300 employees here that it happens with her. I wish she would be let go, but know that will never happen
