On today's episode of 'Office Place'...

Tensions are thick as everyone is on edge and bajankety over the New Guy.

Scene - Boss #2 enters Secret_lade's office and closes the door behind her.

"Hey, what's !" Secret_lade smiles at her from her desk, she's quickly throwing together a spreadsheet for later in the day.

"Well..." Boss #2 is laughing nervously.

"Uh ... What now?" Secret_lade stops what she's doing and anxiously awaits whatever drama is about to unfold.

"It's not bad..." More nervous laughter from Boss #2.

"Uh, yah it is. Spit it out." Secret_lade is now laughing also.

"So, [coworker] was telling that [new guy] was complaining earlier about some things and she said that she walked in you and [new guy] just now...."

Secret_lade cuts off Boss #2.

"Is that why she was acting weird and stupid a minute ago? Yes, she walked in a conversation I was having with [new guy] about our upcoming self reviews. They didn't do them at his old store the way we do them here and I was trying to help him get prepared. She walked in acting like she was busting up some top secret conversation or something. I was going over our self review process with him. "

Secret_lade is shaking her head in disgust.

"Ok, I didn't think it was anything...." Boss #2 opens up the office door when an employee appears in the window.

"You have a Daisy Mae here to do onboarding, young lady!"

Saved by the hectic work schedule once again!

Boss #2 leaves the office with Secret_lade and the two of them walk toward Daisy Mae before parting ways.....

End Scene

So... The New Guy is certainly ruffling some feathers. He comes from a store that is run very much by the book and is slowly trying to implement things in his departments to ensure that we, also, are following the rules and operating by the book.

Problem???

He now shares a role with someone who was already in the store and already established in the role.

Now, if this isn't setting up a situation for failure.

New Guy will forever be the outsider and never kept in the loop. He has also not learned yet who he can and cannot vent to about his new guy frustrations. This coworker is the LAST person he should be complaining in front of as she will always turn it into something way more than it is.

Case in point!

And, here we are, two weeks in with the New Guy and everyone is already crazed and turning on him.

I'm curious to see how he'll handle the drama as it unfolds....

Cause we know, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

    That new guy could possibly sink without trace
I'm kind of hoping he doesn't. I do kind of like the new guy.

    People love drama and bullshit wherever they are. Gives them something to talk about. 😶

    Somebody's rules are usually the cause.
You couldn't be more correct!

    Well the last FNG I came in contact with finally got booted from the entire company- not just a store swap. Thank goodness several of us documented his actions and comments
I actually like this new guy. He's pretty smart and hard working, seems to know his shit. I just hope he doesn't get chased out by others insecurities.

    I go thru that every time we get an FNG to our location. They tell me about the strict policies from whence they came, but I assure them "we take breaks". We get everything done, we always get high inspection scores, the moral is high, and if we have time, we take breaks. The FNG's always come around eventually.
The last time I had to deal with all this is when Nose Hairs came along.... I think he's finally actually acclimated to the rest of us. I don't think I have the strength to go through the new guy stuff again.
