I started working in a billing office at a community health clinic ten months ago. My office has 2 other ladies and our supervisor, also a lady. Throughout the months working so closely with them I've come to realize that they're all two faced back stabbers. All they do all day is talk about everybody in a very negative way. The sad thing is that our supervisor encourages and instigates most of this behavior. She's my mom's age (50) and my mother would never in a million years act this way! Also, one of my coworkers has explicit sexual conversations in my presence with our IT guy. This same woman likes to brag about how many men she's slept with (32) and most of them are married. She has genital herpes and doesn't tell the men she sleeps with. She also brags about how she's had s*x on her desk twice. Our supervisor knows and yet this woman remains her favorite. This woman huddles in the supervisor's office all the time and they gossip and talk smack about everyone. I finally got so sick of it all I couldn't take it anymore and went to HR. The sup saw me walking out of the HR lady's office and promptly told her pet who them told our other coworker. I am now being ostracized and constantly gossiped about the moment I walk out of our office. One of the sadest things is that they don't even know what I said to HR. Everything was great and as soon as they found out I had seen HR they became my enemies.

I'm a Christian woman and 100% disapprove of their actions. I know they hate me and all are ganging up on me. I am looking for another position and the minute I have a job offer I'm quiting this place. The whole thing upsets me so much. You could cut the tension in my office with a knife. I continue to be pleasant and civil to them all and simply bide my time until I can get out of here. Tell me, how would this make you feel? Would you be as disgusted as me? I came into work this morning with a feeling of dread in my stomach. I hate confrontation and disharmony. I'm so upset by all this!

  1. Some offices have this sort of environment , it is diseased , you're right to feel uncomfortable, it's not acceptable to talk about personal things at work -there are boundaries. Hope you find a better job soon


  2. wow...that is absolutly disgusting. You did the right thing. I would have done it also. There is a time & place for your social/sexual life & it is not at work. I would just remain being the nice & sweet person you are.

    Kill them with kindness & they wont know what to do! They wont have a reson to talk bad about you & in the end they will look stupid. Honestly..if people like THAT were talking about me I woulnt care bc they obviously have zero morals...you are famous in their sad, pathetic wworld. Good luck & I hope you find a good job asap!

  3. I don't blame you for being so disgusted.  I could not work with such immature and unprofessional people.  I can't believe the supervisor encourages gossip and such nonsense.  Let's be real everybody gossips but to encourage it is in the office as a supervisor is unacceptable.  Now the lady who is talking sexual to the IT guy is a health problem.  She should NEVER be having s*x unprotected without telling the guys she's with.  Not that she should be sleeping with married men anyways, but it takes two and if she's going to sleep with somebody she should be protecting herself and others.  These women need to grow up and as far as you going to HR I don't blame you.  You could legally sue for making the office a "hostile working environment" which is illegal.  If HR doesn't do something you could sue immediately!!  I would not take this anymore and follow up with HR and see if they can move you or see an attorney.  This is crazy.  

  4. Yes I would have felt very disgusted.

  5. it's really gross...

    i'm sorry!

    i'm afraid all you can do is hold on until you get a new job...

    but you could also give them what they want...something to gossip about!at least you could have fun while waiting for another job....

    leave man underwear under your desk or something like that...

    good luck really!

  6. personally i think you are the one who needs to be dumped ,you stuck your nose where it wasnt wanted ,all because you have prudish ideas about s*x and think others should be the same.

    they have probably all worked there happily for along time and until you came along and decided thats s*x is wrong and dont wantto talk about it they were happy.

    also it shows tht your morals arent that bad thet you would leave and forgo money so in the real world your a hypocrite who will stay for cash.sorry if this offends you but its honest.


  7. your right i will also look for another position and surly  quite the job.You are doing the right thing.i would feel disgusted and i feel sorry for there husband because they are all cheating with them i would be laughing if they did the same thing.just try to hold it a little longer your better than them and your more adult than them.
