Mentally Drained.

My workplace is screwed up. It's only a small office, family business, about 11 people. I don't understand why is everyone trying to get everyone's favour and be so personal about matters. There is nowhere to rise in this company. As long as your surname is not the family's surname and have no blood relation, this is only a job for you, a place to learn for you. Nothing more.

They have to spread rumours, sow discord, be selfish and stuck up and try to get into boss' good books, putting others down. Oh my god. What kinda screwed up culture is this? They have to realise that all these are pointless.

If I don't agree with everything in this company, I have to agree that we are all alone. Always alone. Whatever we do, wherever we are, we are all alone, with or without partners. Growing up isn't kind on me and I have to put through all these mental games. Do you guys go through the same?
