So I find it interesting working with the people I work with who can be really cool that they also can be some of the biggest asses. My office manager is really interesting sometimes with how she chooses to deal with problems. I have a co worker who likes to talk about people behind their back and since the office manager chooses to not deal with that I figured ok fine I will play her game back to her and see if that gets her to shut up. Well funny thing is when I did it the office manager jumped on me and was like you need to stop this immediately ect. When I said seriously you don’t notice she does it and explained my position she said while this may be true it does not make you doing it right. Now wait just a minute here I have been a manager before and while I may not have a psychology degree as she does that is a cop out bullshit position to take. Ok first off if you are the manager and you know this is going on with your staff you call your ENTIRE STAFF on it and say I will not tolerate it from anyone.  Playing favorites with your staff is bullshit and yes while this does happen in many work places you cannot expect the situation to resolve itself if you are going to not take a stand on things and let these things go on.  No one really cares that you have a degree in psychology because it doesnt mean you know how to manage staff. This is simply a bad situation and not being handled well at all.  I also feel that when one person is causing tension for three out of your four regular staff turning a blind eye to it is silly.  I guess I don’t know anything though because I don’t have the degree in psychology.
