Welcome to hell. I am a 53 year old woman and I work with many others my age or there around, and it is no different. There is more drama, "ganging up", and vicious gossip than there was in HS in my opinion. Just yesterday, two people who speak a different language were talking about me right in front of me. And neither one of them know me. Then later on one of them was trying to play and joke around with me. Today, I am going to confront her about it.
