So...my friend at work (I'll call her Joyce) was pulled aside by one of our managers because he, the manager, thinks I am brainwashing Joyce.

What?

Now, if you've read my previous posts, you'll notice that I am very unhappy at work lately. However, Joyce hasn't been terribly charmed by this workplace, either. We have similar, but mostly separate jobs, so my dissatisfaction is mine, and hers is hers.

The manager felt the need to bring this up because we took a longer-than-usual break together yesterday. Sure, we were probably out of line to take a 40 minute coffee break (though, it was my first break of ANY kind in three days), but how this translates in me brain-washing her, is beyond me. Especially because this manager has no idea what we may have been talking about. We were discussing the need to look for new jobs, but this was a conclusion we came to separately. In fact, a lot of people in my cohort are looking for new jobs. A lot of nice, easy-to-work with, smart people. Hmmmm, I wonder if it's us, or the department?

Hard to say, boy howdy, what a mystery.
