I’m intrigued…… Has anyone got an unspoken rule in their office that everyone seems to follow but no one ever talks about it?

My department is so burnt out from all the drama we deal with, we have an unspoken rule to not really talk about our personal lives. Everybody is friendly, but nobody is really friends. It keeps the drama to a minimum and our personal lives to ourselves. I kind of love it, to be honest.

Yes I get that, has its divided opinions but with certain personalities in the office it can be that they’re just people at work not outside of work real friends.

Be careful and watch out given the politics!

Yes that’s really true!

This is a really interesting question thats got me thinking. The first thing that comes to mind is that I make all hot drinks and roughly the same time. I am a tea fiend so I dont mind because that way I know I can have a drink as often as i want and I know it will be a descent one.
I feel like I might think of others and comment again later.

Is it all on your shoulders that you make the drinks and no one else offers? As it’s always nice to be offered and not made to look like “your job”.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
