i have the same group at my work. Tell me all about it…i need to know eveyhthing… how about you shut up and remember there’s no door - how about you do that…eh?!
This always intrigues me. As a factory worker at a small business, we work flat out all day. We talk at the same time of course, but mostly working at speed is a bit of a conversation killer so idle chat is occasional, brief and to the point. We’re just too busy to indulge in the type of behaviour you describe. These people sauntering about the office with cuppas, yapping and whatnot: are they productive? Are they even good at their jobs? It would drive my colleagues, myself and most certainly my boss absolutely batty to have to deal with water cooler conversation overflow. It’d mean less focus on the work, less work done and potentially a lesser quality product.

This group will go to the kitchen, make tea/coffee THEN RETURN to their desks for the yap session.
Our kitchen has tables and a bench with stools, all for the purpose for such chats.
Nope, not these. Need to sit at their desks for the world to hear about their massively busy and interesting lives.
but they’re not though are they?!?! so inane and noise making
I live a very mundane life and share snippets of it online.
Not in the office, at full volume seeking validation.

Office life is different. I used to be a removalist and did way more work than I do now.
It’s a different world.
I don’t doubt that, for sure. Being a removalist is pretty hard Yakka!
