Girl at work

[cutipie1976]

I've been working for a company for a year and a half, a new girl started about 8 months
ago. We have got close, she is funny and we have a laugh at work but the last few weeks I've noticed some things and I'm not sure how to go about it....
She has got very close to the MD who actually i used to like bit since she started the way they act makes me feel cringe
She's his ' right hand man'
She does a different job to me so it's not like I feel jealous or anything like that I know I must sound it but I'm really not.
She literally licks his ass
What has bothered me lately they message each other at work and I literally see his name pop up on her screen and she just sniggers when she gets a message back then laughs
A couple of things - personal - I told her in confidence - nothing major but she went and told the md and it's obvious he now knows.
Basically, I thought we were friends and we're close but now I feel I have to be careful what I say as she's constantly running back telling him stuff
A new girl started and she is nothing but catty to her...tells md things and criticises her work but md hasn't said one thing to the new girl, just slags her off with this girl
I used to be friends with the md and I thought she was a friend too but she's basically a bit immature and not sure why md let's her get away with it
Just having a rant I guess
As I feel I can't work in these conditions but also can't do anything about it but leave ?
Big sigh

If they're that close then no, I don't think there's much you can do about it.

Sounds like they may be having some kind of inappropriate relationship which may or may not involve "literally" licking asses. Nothing you can do, just be careful what you say to your colleague, keep your head down and do your job. Other than needing to be careful what you say, it doesn't sound like this should affect you personally too much?

Thanks to both replies

Thought so, I'm on the job hunt as there's other factors too so looks like that's the only thing for my own sanity

Of course it's affecting me
Bitchiness, cattiness of the poor other girl, horrible working environment to be working in.
Her messaging him
His phone goes off
Her messages goes off, she then bursts out laughing and acknowledges him my looking and laughing at him

Maybe coz I'm older, she's a lot younger

Just wanted some advice and today at work was doing my head in!!!!

I was in your position a year ago before I went on mat leave, I couldn’t stand it when I went back so found a new job. It’s not a nice environment to work in

[cutipie1976]

It's not nice is it. I think that's just how people are but sadly maybe that's just most offices ?
Are you happier in your new job now?x

[Hoppinggreen]

I think you are a bit confused about what “literally” means
Or, they are in indeed behaving very inappropriately

[OooErMissus]

Back off from the girl and leave her to it.

If you're a bit older, then you know you can come in, do your job and leave.

If the atmosphere genuinely is untenable, then actively job hunt.

There's literally (actually literally) nothing you can do about her, or his, behaviour, so...

[cutipie1976]

I know - I'm aware there's nothing I can do, just wanted a vent.
She's a jobs worth too - power she thinks she has gone to her head
I've handed my notice in. I can't work with bitches as that's exactly what she is. Yesterday with her was hell. I'm going to temp until I find something career wise as it's not that easy to walk into a job but thing is better than working in that environment

I’m so much happier in my new job, it has made such a difference to myself and my family life . Hope you find something else
