I know this might sound trivial but it's really causing issues at work at the moment. I work in a team of about 15 at the moment. There are a handful of people who have to mention how busy they are at every opportunity. Everyone's busy but they want to act like martyrs. Every meeting huffing and puffing that they're busy. Dropping into convo that they logged onto emails at weekend. When they hand in work to repeatedly say "well this took me x hours". When someone else goes on lunch making a point of it that they don't have time for lunch. Management have done loads to support them but they've been so defensive. They don't want anyone actually asking them specifics about what they're doing because tbh they aren't any more busy than anyone else on the team. It's causing issues with (a) new members of staff who feel demotivted listening to this (b) the moaners shifting their workload onto others on lower grade who shouldn't be doing it. I really can't take listening to it anymore.
