My workplace has just gotten stupid. I don't know if it's because the staff is all female or we just got unlucky with the personality types. I vote for the female issue. Most women I've known are prone to gossiping. Add a bully (or two) into the mix and you've got a recipe for headaches galore. What's worse is that all the women in my office are in their 40s and 50s. You'd think they'd grow out of this playground behavior. Instead, they seem to have almost mastered it.

"Coworker A (CA)" is a bit slow in her production. What she lacks in speed she makes up for in knowledge. "Coworker B (CB)" is fast and on the ball when it comes to her job. My boss made her lead because of that. Her problem? She can't just do her job. She's either on the phone with family members or they come by her desk to chat. This is all day long, every day. Then there's the problem employee, "Coworker C (CC)", that I bitch about from time to time. She is constantly over at the busy body's desk, gossiping. CB and CC get together and gang up on CA. The last few weeks has been beyond ridiculous... so I went to my boss. She half listened, and now has my friend trying to intervene. Meanwhile I have to sit there and listen to all the childishness while they take turns bickering about each other. I need a vacation... BIG TIME.
