Mine is! There is always some sort of issue going on. It's exhausting!
-
Yup. Even if the people weren't, the nature of the work is.
-
Not anymore but 2003-2010 was filled with drama!
-
Not this job, but my last one it was always something - either the work/clients or my co-workers. It is exhausting!!
-
Nope. I think everyone keeps to themselves for the most part. Only been a couple times I can think of in 5.5 years.
-
For me, it's all about the nature of the work. The staff here can be dramatic, but most of my colleagues are laid back and easy to work with.
-
@psw27: Me too, but I think at my job now, I am still "new" so I'm probably just not involved in the drama yet!
-
nope. it's a very conservative, old, slow moving company so everyone's pretty cordial and polite... there are dramatic ppl who do get emotional at times when a project isn't going their way, etc.
my job itself is VERY dramatic in that we work around client driven deadlines...so makes for a roller coaster of a ride depending on my workload!
-
No - we try and discourage drama.
-
Luckily no. Everyone here is pretty laid back. There is often some drama going on with clients, but between coworkers everything is fine.
-
Yes! They love the dramz lol
-
Oh yeah. When you have ~150 nurses, plus doctors, support staff, management, educators... Yeah. Especially when 85% of those people are women.
-
@NurseMommy: <---- What you said!
-
Well, yesterday my boss cried multiple times, I had to escort a student to the counseling center, and I stress ate my lunch at 10am. Does that count?
-
@MsLipGloss: yes! That's how my office is.
-
Sometimes I think our teachers are more dramatic than the students....
-
@NurseMommy: I only work with 2 men, so yep!!
-
Currently I SAHM, but I have worked in a few dramatic workplaces! To be honest, so long as it doesn't involve me, I secretly like it...it's a nice distraction
-
@NurseMommy: Men are just as drama-prone as women . . . only men are typically more direct and johhny-on-the-spot with confrontation, and don't involve a ton of other people in their drama.
-
Oh yes. It's a newspaper office and there is ALWAYS drama. So much drama. The people love the drama.
-
People at my job aren't friendly at all..... not sure that's dramatic, but it's not always fun.
-
No... My coworkers are all a rather quiet/conservative bunch.. Very polite and non-confrontational.. Kind of boring, actually
-
Sometimes, I have an overly dramatic coworker, the world is about to end at least once a week...I do marketing NOTHING we do warrents the world ending
-
@MsLipGloss: Same here. And the clients are always interesting.
-
@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!
-
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.
-
Not really, it's pretty quiet and mellow here. It's like working in a library.
-
No way and I'm so thankful. Keepin it drama free.
-
@yellowbird: OH.MY.GOSH.
YES!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.
-
Oh my gosh. Yes. I kind of love it. But not today!
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.
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.
-
We used to have drama with clients at my old job, but the office & my coworkers were ridiculously fun.
Sometimes I seriously miss that place because of all the fun we had. We pulled a lot of pranks Jim/Dwight style.
-
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!
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!)
-
I work in an elementary school which pretty much is the definition of drama.
-
No, its super boring actually.
-
No, THANK GOD.
older engineers are the most undramatic group ever. quirky, but undramatic.
-
@blackbird -yes! 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.
