At my old job, when I'd had enough of the drama, I would go hang in the Engineering dept. (I'm an engineer, but didn't work in that dept.) It was always so nice and calm and all the drama queens though most of the engineers were too weird, so they avoided them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1354126 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:32:42 +0000 blackbird 1354126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, THANK GOD. </p> <p>older engineers are the most undramatic group ever. quirky, but undramatic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1354059 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:14:04 +0000 Springtime 1354059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, its super boring actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1354054 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:12:51 +0000 swedishfish 1354054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in an elementary school which pretty much is the definition of drama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1354004 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:54:29 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1354004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only in the office on Friday mornings, so I'm free from most of the drama. Right now though we have a new boss and everyone hates him and people are quitting/getting pregnant and going on mat leave all over the place!</p> <p>ETA: my boss told my friend she better not get pregnant until I'm back from mat leave (aka march 2015.... but I'm not even planning to come back) and she just smiled and nodded.... because she is already 9 weeks pregnant and he obviously doesn't know! So funny (to us.. not him!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1354000 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:53:24 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1354000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to have drama with clients at my old job, but the office &amp; my coworkers were ridiculously fun. </p> <p>Sometimes I seriously miss that place because of all the fun we had. We pulled a lot of pranks Jim/Dwight style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1353992 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:50:16 +0000 Littlebit 1353992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh. Yes. I kind of love it. But not today!</p> <p>Today one of my close friends and I kind of got into it. She's recently become very religious and is kind of making up the rules as she goes. Which is fine. But one of those rules is fasting every Monday. Well today she told me she is fasting today and Friday as well and I told her I was concerned about her being at work and not eating. She got very defensive about it. </p> <p>She has every right to do what she wants, but as a close friend of mine I have the right to voice my concern for her. I'm not telling her to stop with the religion stuff, I'm telling her I don't like seeing her not eat 3 days of the week. Especially if she's getting dizzy and jittery because all she consumes on those days is coffee and hot chocolate. She's a christian, btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1353980 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:45:43 +0000 HolisticMama 1353980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: OH.MY.GOSH.<br /> YES!</p> <p>This week I had a meeting with the head litigation person at our corporate office (they flew across country) and a lawyer about potential compliance issues. And I'm just a low man on the totem pole. I told them that I am not paid enough to get into anyone else's bubble. I come in- do my job- and leave. That's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1353971 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:43:29 +0000 MapleMoose 1353971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way and I'm so thankful. Keepin it drama free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1353963 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:41:13 +0000 teamjse 1353963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, it's pretty quiet and mellow here. It's like working in a library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1353878 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:21:45 +0000 deactivated_account 1353878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have a secretary who would say to me, as soon as I walked into the office in the morning, "Boss is looking for you." I would get all hyped up and go into the boss' office and say, "hi, you are looking for me?" And he would say "no, I am not. please close my door." Ugh.... she was always one to stir the pot and throw you under the bus. She isn't here anymore specifically for that reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1353840 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:14:18 +0000 NurseMommy 1353840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I agree, but I think this makes them seem less dramatic - they're more upfront about things so drama doesn't get carried on and on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-work-place-dramatic#post-1353643 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 14:28:15 +0000 indi 1353643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Same here.
