So, I work in a fairly large organisation, in my department it’s quite a toxic environment very high turnover of staff, work load is very high. People birching and gossiping about others is a constant!
So my manager is in her mid 50’s and and there is another girl is younger than me, I’m in my late 20’s. They constantly act like high school girls, it’s actually having cringey. It’s not just me who have noticed it. They talk all the time, my boss is one of these people who always complains about how much work she has, and how it’s always her putting in the extra hours, where’s I’ll be at my desk working and she’ll be having a nice chat with people whilst not getting any work done. It’s so frustrating she she micro manages people, and complains of people don’t pick up the phone her, and asks why didn’t pick it up the first time. Only for her to ignore the phone when try and call her. People have seen it happen.
Her and her best friend, this girl in her 20’s get on like a house on fire, they are always in each other’s pockets. This girl has had a few different jobs at our work but they always come back together. Women in her 50’s treats everybody like shit, plays favourites. Has stupid nicknames for her favourites, never criticise them and they particularly get away with murder her favourites. Whereas people like (I’m not a favourite) get constantly pulled up on things that isn’t our fault, or that the work has already been done but she just hadn’t looked for it whilst doing a two man job.
Am I being unreasonable to find this a bit weird the whole friendship thing & the favouritism?
