Tough Talk,
I recently changed my work station and now share an area with some really crazy characters. We have a water dispenser and we all add to it as we use it. However, as it is one person’s device, I gave him some money as a sign of appreciation, but just wanted to keep it too myself and didn’t say anything. Now he told our colleagues about it with a hint that they should also fork over some bucks. I don’t like that he told the coworkers who are now annoyed with my “donation,” but don’t want to start a problem just moving to this office. What do you think TT? (Delano, Maryland)
Franklin,
Unfortunately, starting a problem is exactly what you’re going to have to do. Tell these “crazy characters” to stop being so ridiculous and acting like childish morons. Then tell the guy with the machine to stop being a selfish dingleberry. Make sure everyone knows that you are thoroughly disgusted with their behavior.
