Every single issue I have at work is an interpersonal issue that wouldn't exist if we did not all work in an office. The social nonsense is absolutely fucking draining. In fact, my coworker and I truly feel that our main job is socialization and providing validation.
We work in Admin, but we basically do nothing. Our manager is a very kind lady but her management skills are poor. We have not learned anything new in months yet our manager has an assistant. She's much more of a bully to us than a guide.
These two women have the same level of self obsession and the assistant picks on every single girl that works there because she wants to be the center of attention. If any male coworker speaks to me, however harmless, one of these two women interrupts and won't allow the conversation to continue. They both have personal conversations ALL DAY LONG. If I don't answer personal questions my manager gets mad. I feel like my actual job is a joke and my main job is to be “a friend” to these women. I'm constantly made to sign birthday cards for people I don't know, I hear so so so so much about my managers health issues everyday which is triggering because my dad just died and I cared for him throughout his battle.
The boundaries are messed up. There are none. I'm constantly interrupted and disregarded, I'm not even allowed to ask to focus on the task at hand. I am so fucking sick of physical workplaces. I'd be so much better off without the drama
