What do you think of really rich stuck up people who think they are boss?


I am just frustrated. I work in a company and one of our board people/managers is this woman who is loaded. Her parents are titled (we're in England). She works as a hobby basically. Her network paved the way. Her parents are VERY rich. She decided to go another path. She is rude, arrogant, self-important, vain, dismissive and cold. She treats us all as underlings. We are, sort of, but why is she so full of it? She walks in every morning and says good morning. I share the office with another colleague. I say good morning but she ignores me. She has to speak with her first for 10 min. and then it is my turn to be acknowledged. I don't get this. She just treats us as if we dont count, but without us the company wouldn't function. At meetings, meals etc. she "holds court" basically. What can I say or do here?

I can see your point about her doing well enough and keeping it together so they keep her. Yes, she must be doing what is expected. And for this she is okay. I am not at the bottom. I am a manager too, she is just senior. She is also much older and more experienced. I resent the fact that connections got her there. I worked hard to be here. I went into debt to get through university. She got everything for free. I also think her manner and the way she acts is outrageous. She took a client out for lunch last month and didn't pay for him. She split the bill!!
I know this is England, but don't you pay for clients? I was so embarrased for this guy. I was there too. Of course, I paid my way, but really....

You better do the best you can and say nothing. You ARE at her mercy, if you quit someone will replace you, count on it. Better stop letting this eat you up. This is the way she appears to you, and either she owns the place or works for someone, but apparently the business makes money, and therefore the people above her are going to allow her to be who she is.
I'm not sure what you want, but most people in upper level management jobs aren't very inclined to be all warm and fuzzy with the lower level workers. Perhaps you'd better get more education and work hard to move up to a higher level, or get another job where the management suits you better.

There's nothing you can say or do to change her actions and attitude. Basically, you can suck it up and be the bigger person, or you can start looking for a new job.

The next time she walks by you, trip her. When she falls, make fun of her in front of everyone in the office. This will put her in her place and she will never bother you again.

I know some days it's hard but just remember that what goes around comes around. She'll get hers someday and then you can have a little laugh to yourself.

When she's really getting to you, remember all your friends and family who truly love you. Those people who will always take your side (even if you're wrong) and who would never give up on you....they do that for you because they love and respect you. They love and respect you because you earned it.

People love and respect her money (not her, she's obviously a big B) and someday she's going to be a very lonely woman.

Smile friend it's Christmas!

Not much you can do about this. Either deal with it or get another job. She has the upper hand.

i dont waste my time on stuck up people like that!! if they didnt say hi the first time i waved, i wave back the finger and move on!! lol thats when they realize "oh shiet hold up this one doesnt envy me?" and they try harder and harder to be noticed!! there are too many great people in the world that deserve to be noticed, dont waste your time on this one person. ignore!!
