Co-workers who continuously whisper among themselves?
Have been at a new employer since February and just starting to get settled in. It is a fairly small company about 30 employees. I am in my late 40's and most of the people that I work with are at least 10 years younger than I am. But there is 1 person here who is continiuosly whispering to everyone. All day long she goes from one person to another and whispers--about what I don't know as I have never been privvy to an episode yet, maybe I am greatful for that one! However, it is the most annoying thing to me. I don't think they are whispering about me, so don't say I am overly sensitive or whatever because I am not-but I think this person likes to stir trouble in and amongst the other employees. There seems to be somewhat of an undercurrent that I can't quite put my finger on, people are friendly, not sure how genuine it is and she leads the pack. She was the person that was training me for a while and I know for a fact that she complained about me all the time, because my Superviosor told me as much and took me out from having to answer to her any longer. I now answer directly to my boss-- I know I should probably ingnore it but it drives me crazy. What would be your suggestions to dealing with such a thing?

i comprehend it is much less stressful pronounced than completed, yet completely forget approximately approximately your co worker. purely a suited solid morning and robust night is the only communique to be held with this guy or woman. despite he or she is doing to annoy you, attempt to mentally block it out. in case you may't try this then, very in a well mannered way and professionally tell them that the habit they are exhibiting isn't comfortable for you. If he or she would not compromise you would be able to could desire to get human supplies in contact.

Some people will never grow up. I am in my mid twenties and I find that to be so immature..I start a new job on monday and hope I don't run into anything like that. I would try to ignore it because I don't really know what else you could do. Hang in there =)

I would make the whispering humerous. For instance everyday I would walk up to her and whisper in her ears "Hi how are you" lol...This would prove to be awkward and at the same time prove a point about how annoying that behavior truly is.
