Dear co-workers,

Just a little heads-up, as the new person at work I find it decidedly UN-helpful when your way of welcoming to the new job is to give me all the details of who you hate here, why you hate them, and why working here sucks so bad. I'm new, let me enjoy it for a while.

Secondly, for those of you who continuously complain about how hard it is to work 37.5 hours a week for good pay, great benefits, AND in a protected civil service job...I suggest you try a job where you work horrible hours, have to clean up poop/pee/blood/barf, low pay, rotten benefits, and no raise for four years.

Sincerely,

The new gal
