How bitchy is your job?

Robsweezie

as a whole, are your crew a good bunch of people who speak only well of each other ? or is there a culture of cattiness ? have you ever been on the receiving end of bitching in the workplace? or know anyone who has?

I haven't came across it in my own experience , but judging on personalities there may be potential for it to rise. someone in my job is the pass remarkable type, they're a decent enough skin, and nice to me, but early on I got a feeling they might be a bit of a bitch. they have a kind've snooty vibe to them, but relatively harmless. they always have a withering put down or comment about customers they find difficult, if they were overheard they might land themselves in trouble with said customers. the rest are fine.

I can't believe this post has ZERO responses. It great to see that we're all happy in our jobs! Me for one? Cannot believe that our jobs are so good! Yeah I could say a thing or two, but.....in the long run? nah! I could certainly say a thing or two about "certain" manager. How he's in the position he's in, purely out of nothing but luck! I always thought nothing of it! I can't believe we all work in such a brilliant environment!

My job is very bitchy. I'm a midwife for dogs.

Yeah, a bit. Could be a lot worse though! When I started I thought everyone was nice and got along, after about 8 months you start to hear all the stories :rolleyes:

this is what happens in some cases. when you are new everything starts off rosy and everyone is nice. but gradually people start to gossip and segregate and so on.

gossip as well is a way of gaining trust among peers. it helps integrate people into the herd. thats why it happens. when two or more people gossip about a person or persons they strengthen their own bonds.

It depends on the position of the b****. Your equal, you can stay away from. Your boss, you can't.

Where I work being a bitch is the norm and that's just the men.

I constantly watch my back. Worst thing is that I work with the sh*t stirrers. You never get it right with those.

I was at one stage the sole male amongst about 40 women. The uninitiated would think that's a good thing. I was about a foot taller then, and hadn't developed the twitch.....

You would still come across those people in a job like that.

I would say everyone has been on the receiving end whether they know about it or not is the question.

In an office with two women, one a workaholic and the other the embodiment of the civil service stereotype and both of them complain about the other at every available opportunity. Hate to think what's said behind my back. Also play football with a few during the week and there's a lot of bitchingfrom a few in the dressing room.

I am a woman but I find working with women very difficult. I know that I said in an earlier post that men were bitchy.

To tell the truth they aren't but they have been burned by bitchy women who make molehills out of nothing.

All I want is a quiet life.......then others love drama. In general men will run a mile from drama.

Yep. Having no clue what to do, generally the best approach with a woman in tears is to lob another woman at them and make a retreat.

There's 1 rule in my job, stay away from checkouts! Otherwise you're stuck in the middle of drama

Where I work you don't get women in tears, they are usually the ones creating

the tears in others over very silly things. I better not post here again as this

thread is very close to my heart. A job is a job, but on many occasions I have

been asked to support various issues where I work, which I would have no

problem doing if I felt there was a sense of fairness at work.

Grand in my section anyway. There's apparently bitchiness throughout the floor but I just filter that out, don't get involved with any of the politics or gossip. I'm in a lucky position where I can filter it out though. Wouldn't be as easy to ignore if that stuff was going on right next to you.
