Work is a four letter word

By QueenofMean2U - 17/01/2023 00:00

Today, I realized my workplace has incompetent employees who should be fired, while others who made one mistake did get fired. Our boss does nothing about complaints, except tell the offender everything you said. This environment is toxic but it's a job. Never seen such backstabbing and cliques EVER. FML

Sounds like my job. It’s also the main reason I learned years ago, work is not a place to make friends and keep your mouth shut.

Surely you must recognize that your complaining about specific employees at work just raises the “backstabbing” at work. And of course anything you say to a coworker or customer has a significant chance of getting back to your boss. It’s much better unless there is a problem that prevents you from doing your job to talk to boss about tasks, policies and procedures instead of complaining about individuals… Work is not a collection of friends having a good time together no matter what a TV show presents. You need to separate personalities from work tasks and concentrate on what it takes to do your job effectively. The more you complain about coworkers, or management’s decisions, the greater the risk that boss will come to see you as difficult to work with - And that is definitively not career enhancing.

This sounds like the faculty and staff at the local high school

Don't be a snitch. Go along to get along. Don't do anything and you won't make a mistake.

Current working situation is similar. Giving my 2 weeks tomorrow and getting a new job with a 50% pay bump.

Sounds a lot like my current job with the dead weight, and a prior collections job where as the operations manger I was fired for asking the owner a payroll question. People suck!
