Co-workers------can you really stand them or do you just tollerate them?

Yes , iam also like you ..Because i joined new compay, they are send me there corperative office for two months training iot will be finish next month January till that time i want to suffer all those things because here no any other girls all guys, just hi bye for all my colleges here somewaht robert life i feel here

Oh, I do understand what you're going through. I really hate that kind of situation. You're right -- no matter where you work there are always some people who are so nosey and like gossips. But I won't tolerate the situation if it has affected the work environment. I like your style, anyway. It seems to me that you're a good employee. Yes, workplace is often not a good place to find and hang out with friends especially not good friends. It is just business. Nothing else! If you can get a good co-worker who will then turn out a good friend, it will be great. But it is not always like that.

I see the same thing in the workplace. Lots of gossip and backstabbing. This little group constantly fights and gossips. I refuse to have anything to do with them. I am polite and we exchange greetings in the hallway but that is about the extent of it. It's really funny hearing about the squabbles from others. There is way too much gossip in my building and I've always hated it. I tolerate my co-workers. I don't have to be their best friends and I wouldn't want it that way anyway.

i work with a group of about 20 women and i know what you are saying.i go to work ,keep the peace and never get involved with any arguments that go on,i am like you ,i just want to go to work and earn my paycheck and go home.i do have some special friends amongst these women as i am a easy to get along with kind of person.i suppose as i have gotten older i have learnt to deal with all sorts of people and my people skills have improved,so i don't let them get to me anymore,especially those sskickers

I have to say that I work with a group of small people as well and I love them! They do gossip a little too much sometimes but they are great. I go to work to do my work and collect my paycheck but it makes it a whole lot easier when you get a long with the people you work with. I do have to disagree with the last thing that you said because i think that the people I work with are my good friends. They all knew that right now my husband and I are having some tough times right now with me not being able to work full time because I just had a baby and can't afford day care so they all pitched in and got my two girls a couple of gifts for each of them. We haven't gottena chance to really hang out after work with everybody's schedule being a little hectic but my point is that you can find god friends everywhere.
