Lol i've known some secrets that have just made me sad but i don't think i've known any that make me chuckle. i'd rather know the funny secrets than the sad ones!

Oh I agree I prefer funny ones!!!

Oh man, where do I begin. I've always been the unofficial office therapist so I was privy to a LOT of tea. There were a number of workplace affairs that I was the sole witness to, people told me about their relationship problems, medical problems, personal problems... so it's safe to say I had dirt on everyone (even though I never abused that power lol, I wanted people to keep telling me their secrets)

Haha I feel the same way ! And it’s okay because obv I keep to myself I def do not tell anyone but like you said …. Like a therapist lol

I always feel like I know way to much about my coworkers lol. People always come to me with different stories or advice about an issue, so I've ended up becoming a vault for a lot of my coworkers secrets and personal life.

Haha I guess some of us look like we make good secret keepers and therapists…

Glad we all feel the same lol

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing.

It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Okay so, I find myself in a tough situation. Recently, my professional license became jeopardized. There’s many details that I rather not share publicly just incase, but trust me when I say that this was over a ridiculous complaint that wasn’t serious. I have an attorney involved working with me on an appeal, but I’m really nervous and feel that I morally made the right decisions in the situation that I faced. I was wondering: has anyone ever faced a situation like this? I need advice!
