I never seem to escape any drama at work. I’m a very quiet person who minds their business, but there is always someone who needs to create drama. Yesterday an employee caught me in the hall just to gossip about one of the food service staff. Why is this for every job?

No way you aren’t contributing to it with how much you post about all the drama and burn out you face there.

I try my best not to. I do admit I have been sucked in before.

Some of us are good listeners and gossipers need an empathetic ear (even if you aren’t actually taking any side)

It very well could be. I somehow attract gossip without inquiring a single thing. I do keep gossip silent though, which has helped me avoid being caught in the middle and such.

Shut it down if it’s wearing on you. Agree that drama and gossip are in most places, but it’s on you to actively stay out of it.

I try my best to avoid it

Do your best to avoid that chatter. Try to politely shut it down. And make sure you never contribute to it.

Ty. I do try hard to avoid it.

Btw Bloomberg is not really running for President. He’s building a political campaign machine that he’s going to unleash against Trump all year. It’s going to be an interesting case study...
