That is horrendous and my nightmare, thankfully my resting bitch face and personality takes care of most chatty attempts but I find this so annoying. It's like people cannot be alone with their thoughts in their own heads for ten minutes so every moment has to be filled with their jarring voice. Stfu for god's sake, people are trying to work! I hope she shuts up soon.I work in an office with 2 other women (both older than me by 20+ years). One of them talks non stop. All day. And I’m not exaggerating. She gives a running commentary on what she’s doing, reads us the news even though we’ve not asked, updates us on her friends personal lives even though I have no idea who they are, constantly complaining about her husband, talking about cycling (I hate cycling!), always talks about food ( one of those being good/bad people!!) always bitching about people in our dept. aaaaarrrrrrggghhhh. I put my AirPods in to drown her out but she taps me on the shoulder if I don’t replyor I can feel her eyes staring into my soul so I turn around and she’s looking at me for a reply. new job pending!!!
until i worked in one I didn't realise how much worse distracting chatter was in a small workplace, you would always think more people = more noise, but actually with fewer people they have fewer people to talk to so it is even worse!That is horrendous and my nightmare, thankfully my resting bitch face and personality takes care of most chatty attempts but I find this so annoying.

You sound like me when I was younger, full of confidence, and knowing every trick in the book when it came to computers and IT.Same woman as yesterday is driving me absolutely mental. She needed maximum IT support from me today (I don't work in IT we both work in HR but I'm good with technology) I've got patience with some things because (old ppl) but not knowing how to drag a page to your other screen is kind of thick. We use dual monitors and it's easy
This cracked me upYou sound like me when I was younger, full of confidence, and knowing every trick in the book when it came to computers and IT.
Remember you too will be old one day.
Today I am in finance.
Someone in my office is term time. Her youngest child is 21...and works in the office!!!!!
All this talk of people with kids having to have to school holidays of reminded me of somewhere I worked at over 20 years ago. I was one of a large group of Receptionists at a GP Surgery and we had one self-appointed leader, there is always one, who insisted that the only people who were allowed to take leave during the school holidays were those with school age children. Obviously those of us without children have no commitments or responsibilities that entail us having to take leave during school holidays. Thankfully I was only there for a couple of years.
In my next job I worked with somebody who had a term-time only contract, her only child was 25 at that point
There was a Practice Manager, but to be honest I don't know what she ever did apart from hide in her office. Nothing was ever said.Why did you bother listening to her, surely there must have been a practice manager who should be in charge of all of you.
I have tried the resting bitch face but then she is constantly questioning if I’m ok asking why I’m in a mood! She doesn’t have any kids of her own (she’s in her 40’s) so she mothers me as well. I’m in my 20’s!!That is horrendous and my nightmare, thankfully my resting bitch face and personality takes care of most chatty attempts but I find this so annoying.

I am always denied leave around my husbands birthday which is 27th July and my birthday which is the beginning of September as it’s the bloody summer holidays!All this talk of people with kids having to have to school holidays of reminded me of somewhere I worked at over 20 years ago.

honestly I hate this trend of us all bloody dancing. Piss off! I’m tired!A fellow nurse is constantly looking for volunteers to record tik tok dance routine videos with herI'd rather debride a necrotic appendage!! This is not what the NHS pays us for. Funny how she always finds the time. Then the sad voice "its to cheer every one up". All she wants is to go viral and live off tiktok

I worked at a small company that was like this and it creates tension and bursting egos in the workplace! My line of work is quite niche so it means I am usually the only person doing my job, or sometimes 1 other person but they will usually tag my position in with another department. There were 2 of us in this instance and I was hired as ‘manager’ and my colleague was ‘team leader’ but our jobs were exactly the same. We treated each other as equals, much to the other manager’s annoyance.I work as a lowly admin in a food distribution centre (on furlough at the mo). But omg do we have so many managers and deputy managers and assistant managers, line managers, team managers, focus managers, regional managers, transport managers, logistics managers.., most of them are working from home barking out orders to those lowly warehouse people who have to go into work.
So many managers all doing the same job and making sure everyone knows they're a manager by the big bold fonts in their email siggies.
She needs some folding chair therapy across her face.I had this work colleague once who would constantly drone on about how big her boobs were. Usually triggered when a man walked into the staffroom. She was a very girl-next-door type, too. Quite an arty, Boho style.
But every conversation would somehow be manipulated into bringing her boobs (and how big they are) into the main topic.
This one time she mentioned that she used to work at a school and how the headmistress hated her, "... But I think she was clearly jealous because she was really flat-chested and I have such big boobs."
Oh fuck off, love. She probably hated you because you are obsessed with your own tits and can't stop inappropriately talking about them in the workplace.
One of my friend's is a theatre nurse. She was on her way to scrub up for a heart bypass operation and was blocked from entering a corridor because some doctors were in the middle of filming a tik tok routine. She had to turn heel and take a different route.A fellow nurse is constantly looking for volunteers to record tik tok dance routine videos with herI'd rather debride a necrotic appendage!!
