I getso tired of being the nice cowortker that do not report people like I should , I help everyone , go out of my way for others, tolerate too much, , there's a lot of jealousy , people do not like to see you move up or learn more, when your positive and try to get through the day peacefully , that's when the horns come out. Drama, drama in the work place it's tiring. I had a trying week at work. Friday was the hardest because I got so angry I even used th f-word on my coworker, yes she deserved it but before I could take a breath the words came out, I was that angry. Iam usually calm and avoid arguments but it happened, I have no idea how things will go next week


Onething I noticed as long as you sty in one position on the job people are happy
And if you don't speak up people are happy

Needed to vent

I know people will disagree with me and I am not saying this for debate, but I find that reading books about the saints like St Francis of Assisi helps me much. Do not stop reading the bible, that is not what I am saying. This people live amazing lives walking with God, and learning about how God moves trough their lives gives us that extra kick that helps us. I hope you find the peace that God is trying to give you. Keep praying and preach the gospel, if you need to, use words.

I feel your pain. I worked at a deadend part time job at a grocery store for about a year and a half. There was so much drama that it was ridiculous, I tried my best to just do my job and stay out of it. I quit about two months ago due to health issues.

They keep on asking if I want to come back, but I tell them I can't due to those issues. I honestly wouldn't go back if I could, as I am not good at coping with huge amounts of drama anyway.

Just do you best and pray about it - that's all you can do. Try to be an example to the others at your workplace. I once said something that I regret to a boss, it wasn't profane or anything, but it was the truth. It almost got me into a lot of trouble, however he recognized that it was the truth.

Just try to persevere, if you can't, perhaps you'll be able to find a job that is less stressful.

Know what you are going through. Sounds like what I was going
through all week. My solution on Friday was to play peaceful
worship music from Pandora Radio all day long. The result: Peace
and the presence God! I'm going to try it all this week.

Amazing what worship can do! When we get our eyes off of
God and on to so many little problems, that is when things
get rough. Always keep God at the center of your life.

Galatians 6:9

New International Version (NIV)

9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Drama in the work place can be so draining. When I was working full time I was so quiet that people would make comments about that too. It wasn't that I was being quiet because I didn't have anything to say, it was that if I said what I really thought about what they were saying I would have probably been thrown out of the building, lol.

The strange thing is when others come to me about drama I always tell them ignore it or them and just sing a christian song or say a prayer to themselves , even offer them a phone number to a prayer line that I often call but I didn't do any of that and I always say even though your angry still pray for the situation and the person , I'm good for advice but this time I set a. Bad example

This is what Jesus was talking about with forgiveness and loving your enemies, hon. Now if something is breaking work rules that is another issue, but if someone is just being mean and resentful just turn away. They can't hurt you if you don't give them emotional power over you. Let them ruin their own lives, don't be sucked into their petty little world.
