I've worked in offices my entire working life.
I've always found offices to be quite bitchy and petty environments to work in at times. I've often felt as though I was doing things that were a waste of time, because someone comes along sooner or later and changes everything.
It's always been who's sleeping with who, who's off sick all the time, who wants to windows open/closed, who takes too many fag breaks and so on.
But I've always just got in with it and always worked with people I could get on with.
But a while ago my department had a massive pointless reshuffle, I can't say too much as it would completely out me, but since then I've been utterly miserable.
The atmosphere in the office is horrible, there is so much two faced gossip, people moaning over the smell of people's food, fans, desk space. There is a lot of bullying which has resulted in people leaving.
Any complaints or suggestions about work are met with threats of being sent to a different department in another town.
I wish I'd sorted myself out with a better career while I had the chance, but now I feel stuck. I work locally and my hours fit in with school. I'm also pregnant so no hope of getting out of there anytime soon.
