Guru Rant: Work is no different than high school

For all college grads who have just landed your first "real" job, don't think that you have actually stepped into a world without the petty bullshit of high school.

If anything, high school is the perfect time to come to understand people and the way of the world.

Think about it, if people are still running in "cliques," starting rumors and spreading gossip about others, treating school like a fashion show, and engaging in downright heinous love triangles that rival those of the trashiest novellas at the ages of 14-18, how much more will they have changed 5-7 years later?

The Gurus hate to rain on anyone's parade, but we are here to let you know the real deal about life in Corporate America. There's just as much backbiting, kissing ass, swapping sex partners, and forming alliances that occurs in high school. Only difference is now you actually get paid while living/witnessing the drama.

Our advice, open your own business!!!

Sorry to burst your bubbles...

I am guilty of treating work like a fashion show! But hey where else am I going to wear this stuff? It's not lounge/club wear so it's ok lol.

I have noticed tho these two old heffas that sit behind me have formed an old heffa with kids alliance. They make it their business to tell stories about their raggely kids and how young people just don't understand. So when they ask me something regarding those topics I just say "well I wouldn't know I'm not married yet so I don't have kids and I feel I'm not old enough to have them yet." That usually shuts them the hell up seeing as how neither one has husbands and now I know why.....heffas
