Drama...
I’m dealing with a whole lot of drama at work. Nothing to do with me...but everything to do with things that have happened before me. Now I’m the manager of a whole group of women that feel the need to voice all their grievances.
I’m listening and asking questions to get a better grasp on what the issues are. The more I listen the more I just shake my head at how women interact with each other.
Why do women tear each other down? Why do they feel the need to be petty and act childish? Why is it so hard for women to work together in harmony and celebrate each other’s achievements? Why can’t women just recognize when someone is doing a good job because they are doing a good job...there doesn’t have to be an underlying reason for their success.
All these ladies will have their chance to talk with me and I will have a chance to assess all of the things information...but they will all find that I DO NOT LIKE DRAMA. I don’t like it personally and definitely not at work. Every person has the right to have an opinion about people and decide on whether they want to be a friend to that person or not. Every person has the right to not like someone. But no one has the right to be rude or disrespectful to each other. You should be able to conduct business with anyone and maintain a level of professionalism...doesn’t matter what you think of them.
I also think that people should realize that the atmosphere you want to work in...is determined by how you make it. So if you create a hostile environment...then that’s how it will be for you. This expectation is from all sides...no exceptions for anyone. Treat people how you expect to be treated.
Until tomorrow...
