I work in an office where one colleague is a renowned 'bitchy person' and doesn't have a good word to say about anyone. Whatever the conversation she will make a negative about it. An example would be i.e I mention I'm going to visit Rome and she'd make a bitchy comment about how Rome is shite, wouldn't ever visit. Regarding work, she's apparently the most overworked, her consultant couldn't manage without her (he did perfectly fine when she was off sick when she was off with depression when her husband left her) and she won't retire until he does because of the above.
She absolutely despises our relief secretary going so far as to check up on how many documents she has transcribed and constantly bitching about her and how useless she is.
My AIBU is - the relief secretary comes into my office to bitch about the bitchy colleague ,and colleague comes into my office to bitch about our relief. Relief although knowing colleague says negative things about her 'sucks up' to her and contradicts what she says to me.
I really want to to say to them both - keep me out of it - you're both two faced and bitch on about each other and I'm sick of being the one you both come to? Or should I just keep schtum to keep the peace?
