Office degenerates causing dissension. What to do?

Question

Recently, several immature office clerical workers (female) have sent emails to a select few similar types, to take people having birthdays out to lunch. They then rub it in to those who weren't on the list that they did not get invited!

They also pass around birthday cards to only certain people to sign which causes humiliation, and embarrassment to the ones left out.

The recipient thinks the others who did not sign are just mean, and/or refused to attend the luncheon.

The boss hates to hear things like this, but it is causing hard feelings, and could escalate.

What suggestions do you have?

Answer 1

Sort of like being back in jr. or sr. high school, isn't it? Haven't there been a few movies made about this kind of stupidity? A few "in" people and the rest are "out."

The only thing this does is to cause mistrust and division amongst a group of people who are supposed to work TOGETHER.

The boss needs to talk to these b*****s, they can really harm a business, by causing resentment amongst the group. Maybe the boss should have a cake or some kind of get together and invite everybody on birthdays; that way no one gets left out.

   Just a thought...

Answer 2

Just dont pay them no attention. Focus your mind on other things such as a picture to remind you of something. Anything but think about them, this sound as if you should just think about your job performance and that's all. (no offence, but, DO YOU HAVE A LIFE AFTER WORK?< BECAUSE IF YOU DID, THAT SHOULDN'T BOTHER YOU> SORRY!
