Some of them even do it in front of the students which I find unprofessional.
Does anyone else have coworkers that talk too mich about personal problems? If they want to talk about their issues outside of work, than go for it. That is their choice. Nothing wrong with it. But doing it during work hours just comes off as unprofessional in my opinion. How do you deal with coworkers that overshare at work? Like I mentioned before, I get it that they are friends and they can talk all they want outside of work, but I just feel like it looks bad when they do it at work, especially in front of students. Not to mentioned, it hinders concentration and productivity.

I know what it feels like to be excluded in professional settings. I have one co-worker who has to feel like everyone likes her the best. The other teachers, the principal, the staff, the students all need to like her the best. So she endlessly tries to please everyone. She is an Easy A to the students. She laughs and commiserates for all of the teachers. She is loyal endlessly to the principal. It's just annoying. She has no backbone. She doesn't stand for anything or have any principles.
Tonight a few co-workers (not all but some) went out for dinner and they didn't invite me to go. Granted I am on a diet and am not eating full meals, but it would have been nice for them to invite me. At the same time, I don't know if I fully care.
