They can take a hike. They're not the ones cooking for me or paying house bills.

I feel bad about how my former colleague transitioned out of our company. I became p*ssed at work, and while I tried to keep it to myself, I know my impatience surfaced. It's pretty useless to get frustrated with colleagues.

I will never understand why people feel the need to be mean or nasty to people who are not they are. Mature people discuss problems and try to help solve them; children play games like trying to get someone fired. Such unnecessary negativity.

Do you job and stop being drawn into unnecesary workplace drama. That usually solves everything.

I work with a very angry and bitter woman. Some days she is really off the deep end and cursing at everything and everyone, I just look at her and laugh to myself. It's sad really that she is this way but she was burned by her ex and I think she just never let it go. She doesn't have much class either so that kind of adds to her "personality", but Im not leaving my job because of her but I think some personality types would have a hard time working with her.

I've never worked at a place with out some wackos being there.

I have worked with drama queens who come in every day with 'stories' of their thrilling (made up) lives, old gossips who pretend to befriend you but are 2 faced, the angry and p.o.'ed, the hung over, the druggies, the ones who can't get started to work until they have been in the place for an hour...

You know, we've all worked somewhere like in Office Space. That is why I love that movie.

Just do your work, mind your own business, and leave that person alone. The time you spend trying to undo her can be spent increasing the value of your own work.

I really, really dislike work place drama. I think it's officially a pet peeve for me.

I would leave well enough alone. I would never try to sabatoge anyone, nor would I try to help someone that was really not doing their job, and driving me nuts in the meantime. I'd just let it play out, and sooner or later, they'll wind up costing themselves their job, from their behavior.
