Sometimes it’s ok to just agree😭😭 If they say “ugh I’m so useless”, you either nod yes or just stay silent. I get life isn’t easy for anyone but we ALL have lives. No one wants to be around a Debby downer. I’d just avoid them & if they ask why, I’d be completely honest.

You’re so right and the ONLY thing holding me back is she is sooo popular even with our director and assistant director like she worked for the director at a previous job too and they both switched locations and I’m also afraid if I report her she’ll figure out it was me and stop being work friends w me which would suck bc she is rly funny and nice she just doesn’t filter herself enough
