I'm a listening and sympathetic ear, but I never say anything bad about anyone. I assume that everything I say will get directly to the person and even be misinterpreted uncharitably. If other people want to talk crap, that's on them, but I'm not going to repeat it and I'm not going to contribute.

Yea! The hard part is they both are looking for someone to sympathize with them. They’re going thru some sort of power trip right now because one of them got promoted

I'd smile uncomfortably and try to be as noncommittal as humanly possible. I wouldn't want either of them to think I was picking sides, so I'd just let them vent and then try to shift the conversation somewhere else. Talk about awkward..

Extremely awkward. Both of them start off saying “I’ve worked with so and so for so long and I love them .. BUT…” then proceed to talk crap. It’s crazy

Get that goss, it’s not a bad position to be in

Hahaha a wild position to be in

I’d do as the other commenters said but also let both know that you are neutral and won’t be offering opinions.

I feel like that makes it awkward. I told them to talk to each other. Hopefully they figure it our

First trimester insomnia?
I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?
