Drama in the workplace?

Question

I hate people who are so unprofessional as to bring drama to the workplace and gossip etc.My coworker recently got her hours cut because she was riding the clock and our boss has been getting onto her for months as well as other employees who were going over 40 hours a week.well she kept doing it anyway and they finally brought the hammer down yesterday and said she had to get off the clock at the right time or she wouldnt have a job.So she came back from the office and was all loud and cursing and saying someone must of been talking about her(this went on all day).Our boss looks at the computer every thursday to do payroll and theres really nothing to tell its all there .Am I the only one that goes to work um to work .Thank gawd Im allowed to take my books up there to study and do homework between customers.I mean do they honestly not have anything else to do but gossip and complain.I dont understand people like this if you dont like something or a situation wouldnt your energy be better spent doing something productive about it.

There will always be personal stuff and drama at work.  Most people spend more hours a day with co workers than family.  However your bosses should have stepped in with that employee.  I see that you talked about customers, if stuff like that continues, it will hurt the customers and you will lose them  No customers, no paycheck.  And if she is so stupid to not realize that her hours are checked, and that no one needed to talk about her, she should be gone anyway.
