work who have nothing better to do than talk about each behind everyone's back. Other people experience this at their workplace? Gets annoying after while.

  • my coworkers speak russian all day. they could be talking about me or anyone else, I really have no idea.
  • I took up any opportunity to talk about how stressful my manager was with anyone who'd listen, and many of them did the same, but I didn't talk about anyone else.

    They're laughing at the pussy Americans who get drunk after only drinking one bottle of vodka and get cold when it's 30 degrees.

  • I like my coworkers. We all get along pretty well for the most part. There is a bit of gossip at times, but not nasty stuff. We do make jokes at each other's expense all the time, but nobody takes it seriously.

    This I am definitely not convinced of
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Where I work, we have an interesting work atmosphere - and a no gossip policy. Got an issue, take it to the person you have an issue with...close the door, talk about it, and don't take whatever it is personally. Works pretty well!

    However, I have worked at lots of places that were just like Jr High - not fun.

    ugh I am. I've seen 50 year old men going on worse than 6th grade girls. who said what to whom, who wasn't invited where.

    Everyone talks about everyone. It's what separates us from the animals. That and message board posting.

    This is how the girls in the office are here. As soon as one leaves the rest talk about them. It's quite amusing to watch actually. :lol:
