Being workplace friends isn’t bullying. You mean they’re a clique and exclude others?

yes it’s not the fact they’re friends is that one is normal coworker other has higher title and favoritism happens and putting others down as a team happens

If they are above you on the totem pole oh, there's not much you can do unless you hate your job already.

If they are at your level or below, destroy them preferably at the same time!

honestly I’m trying to get transferred this place is full of lazy entitled adult children

true but it makes it hard to show up when you’re the one who does the work while other just come to hang out and chat I personally don’t care to socialize especially with coworkers

Part of being a good employee is learning how to play nice with annoying coworkers. Rise above.

Don't waste energy trying to 'destroy' them.

Spend your energy on smoozing their boss so the next promotion is yours. Then the tables are turned and you can ride their asses WHILE getting paid to do so.

I didn’t say they were bullying but they have that bully mentality so I called them bullies

Secretly record the favoritism and blast the company on social media but anonymously

that’s above my pay grade I might have to suck it up until I can transfer or land a better gig at a different company 🦵🏼🥾
