When coworkers let petty squabbles get in the way of doing their job. Don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to personal real life problems that affect everybody, depending on temperament and support system some are more affected by others.
What I am referring to is two trained and educated psychologists get the same office, right? And this one psychologist (lets call her P1) pulls me on a smoke break and tells me how much of a bitch her new coworker is (P1 was here 6 months before P2 came). Despite the new coworker being 10 years her senior. I won't get into what she told me because it's disinformation at best, but she was suggesting something along the lines "I'll make sure she doesn't stay here long."
Then the other psychologist (I'll call her P2) sits with me at the table and now I need to pretend I didn't hear the most horrid gossip known to man about this individual. We start talking and over the months we've spent together the "bitch" is actually an assertive woman who has clear boundries and is actually quite a pleasant human being to be around. So I get the impression P1 felt threatened that she has to "compete" with a coworker.
Call me a tattletale, but I explicitly warned P2 in confidence about what P1 told me (omitting some more... brutal comments. But I conveyed the message that P2 is pulling some sneaky shit). Thankfully instead of mutual sabotage, they settled their score with a verbal argument and at the principals office. Today they are doing fine tolerating eachother, because at the end of the day both realized they should work together.
Thats my pet peeve, when you work in a work enviroment where cooperation is needed and appreciated, but some coworkers like P1 feel the need to outcompete or flex their experience or 200 IQ. Put your fucking ego aside in the workplace, jesus.
I work at a school. I am not a teacher I organize busses and help with classes and school activities.
