Open communication at work!

Things at the dishwashing job ate working out pretty well, so far. I have some physical stuff going on with the strenuous activity, but it's nothing that can't be resolved with an ice cold treatment. However, things boiled over between co-workers today after a meeting with our boss. All the issues boiled over, and open communication definitely needed to happen. It's too bad people were so overzealous they kept interrupting each other, which made things worse to an extent. But after all is said and done, people got along better. I'm glad I had that break down, because it's help me do a better job of identifying when I need to step away from a situation. I went over to a different area in the dishwashing section for some peace and quiet, after the conflict.

But the particular co-worker that was on the other end of the conflict is very overzealous, and uses overly abrasive Burbage. It's usually accusing someone of something, or throwing someone under the bus. This person has little to no chill, and we wonder with all these other skills that this person has why they aren't doing something else more challenging than being a dishwasher. The Stereotype that were very happy to conform to is that the dishwashing area is usually wear the most chill people are. We have our share of responsibilities and extracurricular activities that we could be doing during down time, but really we like to sit back, wash dishes, and get to know each other. The job not being so challenging in some areas allows people to have a flourish of personalities and even share interests. I feel like we're all doing that, but this person is doing way too much in the area of working out of their way. It's suspected that this person might be trying to make the rest of us look bad. It all remains to be seen on a consequential scale, if it ever comes to that.
