Don’t you hate that? I’m betting, though, that for every twit who labels you ‘unsympathetic,’ ‘uncooperative’ or ‘not a team player,’ there’s someone who sympathizes with your predicament but who’s keeping her mouth shut to stay out of it. It depends on how big your office is, but my strategy is to look very busy when these annoying people come by. You can “mhmhh” sympathetically but distractedly before you pick up the phone to make a business call or you can jump in surprise in the middle of her conversation, ‘Ohmygoshiforgottoaskthebosssomething,’ and split.

Why do people do this? I don’t know, but I know it’s not just women. Some are just arrogant; they think they’re the center of the universe and everyone else should think so, too. Some are superficial and look for friends in everyone they see. Some are lonely, and I believe it’s important in a karmic sense to have compassion for these, but after all, you are at work. Why should you be discussing people’s personal lives on work time? Especially if you don’t want to. I’m hoping it’s not the boss ‘labeling’ you and that it’s the twits themselves.
