People Are Sharing Their Office Gossip, And It’s Messy

“I just started a new job. There are two other employees in my department who were supposed to be training me. On day two, the entire company raised their minimum pay, and I got an automatic raise. On day three, one previously friendly and helpful coworker stopped doing any work once I came in.”

“She would barely acknowledge me, scroll on her phone all day, and tell me, ‘You got this,’ whenever a customer came in. After about two weeks of her refusing to train me and completely slacking on her own work, I heard her complaining to someone else that we were making the same money and I hadn’t earned it. She’s being petty as hell and talking trash on me like I personally raised the company wages, instead of focusing her energy on the people who can actually do something about it, or simply appreciating that she ALSO just got an automatic raise.”
