Today was definitely an interesting day at work. One of my co-workers (let’s call her Nancy) decided to go to our supervisor (who works on a different floor by the way) and report a fellow co-worker (let’s call her Emily) because she’s coming to work sick. Now coming from any other person, this would have been a gesture of sincere concern. However, knowing Nancy's complete dislike for Emily, I know there were deeper, shadier reasons behind her gesture of "concern". Needless to say,
everything got back to Emily and she was requested to work at home. Things got really crazy after that...apparently Nancy doesn't ever seem to mind her own business and always has something to say about Emily and her work performance. This makes no sense to me considering Nancy is neither Emily's supervisor nor boss. She doesn't really have a right to comment on Emily's work performance unless she is disrupting the rest of the office (which she is not).
Seeing some of the cattiness that went on at my job today really made me think. Why is it that so many people spend most of their time minding everybody else’s business but theirs? Seriously. Instead of worrying about what their co-workers, friends, and family are doing, they should really invest that time in something more productive....like working for example. The person who is too busy watching everybody else and criticizing what they do is the person who needs to take a step back and look at their own flaws. As the Bible says,
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
-- John 8:7
