Today is no different than any other holiday. We have dealt with drunks,drunk drivers and family fights. I think I understand why it happens near the holiday season. It's all because of the stress of money and having to deal with family members you only see a few times a year. I am not without issues either. My own family treats me different because I expressed my opinion that my sister could not come to a family function at my residence. This upset my mom who now barely talks to me. It's bad and upsetting. But my sister is all drama and rumors. I have had such a better second half of the year without dealing with her.
Work is bad enough drama wise. We have an employee who never should have been able to keep their job with their parent being an upper supervisor over our direct supervisor. Everything they want and ask for they get. And whenever they tattle about bogus things then it comes back as coming from another coworker who is not so petty. They really think we are that silly to not know where the complaints come from you cry baby?
