Co-workers Are for Venting About Management

[torre85]

Eversince I started my current job, I've felt isolated from my co-workers.  This kind of business, I'm in the field most of the time.  The most I interact with my co-workers are over the phone.  Today for the first time, I didn't feel isolated.  Yesterday, I had an altercation with management, and it totally bummed me out.  Today, one of the nurses

That great that you are conecting with you're coworkers!

Yup! Feels good to connect. Don't know why I was having such a hard time, when most of my co-workers are awesome!

It's all good, but be careful! Don't say anything you wouldn't want passed around!!

Tell me about it!

Today, the one I considered 2nd in command gave a 20 minute speech about gossiping and how harmful that can be. I was seriously shaking in my boots that I had been caught. I was thinking, "my first and only offense, and I get caught, what a loser, I am." Luckily, the rumors were about the fact that her husband was working parttime in the office and not about how I was venting about management with my coworkers. Although, it's no secret to management that I disagreed with what they decided on. The secret was how much it bothered me.

To tell you the truth, it would have been worth it. It felt really good to do. As if I was getting back at them. Venting to the husband wouldn't have had the same effect.

Ranting against the same cause is the fastest way to socialize! Well, at least for me, since I'm a ranter at heart.

Glad you're doing well ^^.

I can't believe I was in this job for almost a year, and I didn't rant. I rant in all my previous jobs. But this one, I never felt the connection with anyone to rant. Even that nurse, I only started ranting cause he asked for it. Now that I did, it's like we're buddies or something.

Hope you are doing well also.
