I know I have ranted about this before but I am gonna do it again!


Why am I always stuck working with the gossipers? All I hear all day is : " OMG can you believe so and so did that? what were they thinking when they put that on! Can you believe that he would not call me for two days!" Ugh! I get so tired of it! And the girl that giggles constantly. I mean ok, if someoe is being funy then laugh. The boss asked if she felt better and her reply was "hahahahahhaha".

LETS GET PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE! We work for the government, lets set a good example!!!

OMG!!!! Your job sound soo much like mine! I too work for the gov. and you would'nt believe the morons they trust to work here! We handle VERY sensative info. and these gossiping (sp?) "women" don't even pay attention half the time because they are too engrossed in their conversation. And we have quite the share of ANNOYING!! gigglers

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
OMG I think it must just be something about government workers. They don't have as many targets to meet so spend more time gossiping and bitching. The 2 women in my team, one is 34 the other is 59 so should know better, spend the whole day with their foreheads together being nasty about people. I used to get concerned it was about me but I just don't even care anymore! Infact I'd be flattered if it was me their were talking about.
The things they say behind peoples backs never has any truth in it anyway so they just both need to get lives outside of work so they can finally give my ears a rest and talk about something else!!!

Mee too! I am not innocent of gossiping but they take it to extremes. I normally only do it with my mom or Lee. They are the creators of work place drama.

Everyone likes a bit gossip but theres nothing worse that what we call " Tittle tattlers " who would gossip about the slightest bit of dirt they can find on someone.

You normally find that these people are either in boring relationships or who don't have true friends that they have to feed of others unhappy situations to make their day complete.

Can you tell theres one where i work!

Oh yes, or like the last place I worked. There was one lady there that would take her suspicions and next thing you knew all the female sales reps were sleeping with the boss and that's how they got their way. Ugh what was worse since I'm coined as "The listener" I would find myself getting cornered half the time with her non-sense gossip.
I was glad the day that they gave her the boot. Too many people were complaining about her because of the negativity.
Then there was the back-stabber. Nice to your face, made up stories about you behind your back.

That last place was just so insecure it drove me nuts! After 2-3 years of being employed their they still feared of losing their jobs (these two were laid off before). I can see why. They created their own drama, and businesses don't want that!!!

I usually tried to give them something to talk about because while they were talking about me they were leaving someone else alone.
