20+ Petty workplace dramas that got the whole office gossiping: 'Patricia stole my stapler and is denying it'

Workplace drama has been heating up at these jobs, and workers are excited to spill the tea. 

There's nothing that livens up a dreary Tuesday in the office like a little drama between coworkers, or a disagreement between management that the whole office overhears. Normally, your work life is full of spreadsheets and conference calls. But suddenly, you're transported back to high school, and the whole office is giddily whispering about the drama going down at work. 

Ideally, you want to have a little bit of intrigue during your workday, but you definitely don't want to be in the office where there's a new disagreement or big blowup on the daily. Some jobs have employees with known rivalries, like the secretary who can't stand one of the higher-ups, or a retail worker who will cover shifts only for their friends. At previous jobs, I used to watch as managers would give the best shifts to employees they liked, while putting people they didn't care for on the late-night shifts or "clopening" shifts. Talk about pettiness!
