The New Guy At Work

It was just me until the new guy came, which I was fine with. Then I went back to work after being out sick for three weeks and all things have changed. The new guy is crazy. He works like 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, then again from home from midnight until 5 am, and hardly sleeps. My boss knows he works like 60 hour weeks and loves him. I can tell because he hasn't paid ****** attention to me at all since I've been back, and takes newbie everywhere he goes.

I don't care about the new guy, and I don't care if new guy gets a promotion over me or anything like that. Its just ... wtf?
 
Funny thing is .... I noticed today that he shakes a lot. Like he holds a pen in the air and his hand shakes like he's nervous. Maybe he is on something.

Yeah that isn't normal....
 
So this is how you people act when you come across someone who works harder than you? You accuse them of taking drugs and knock them down? That's an excellent attitude, good luck succeeding :thumbsup:

He's just trying to show off and be a typical overchiever that most newly hired employees often do. He's just taking this to the extreme.

He could be not eating a lot. My legs, arms, or hands will shake a little sometimes if I have been doing any type of exercise and I haven't eaten in a long while.

I have a slight twitch and I shake a little bit it's because of an under developed nervous system.

It's not always becasey someone is on drugs.

If the money is good and I enjoyed the job I could easily do 60+ hour weeks.

I hate my job and I work 70 hours without giving it a second thought. I'm scared to find out what would happen if I actually LIKED my job.
