Do you have annoying co-workers?

What would you do?

As you may know, my job sucks. Two more of the people in my department have quit. It leaves just myself and one other co-worker in one room that we have. This co-worker who I have to sit right next to, is always complaining and signing out loud 'it's so quiet in here, it's so quiet. " And I think to myself am I supposed to be talking to myself?. Like I'm in here if you want you can talk to me. I'm not going to try and make conversation just because you're scared of Silence. The other two people who quit last week where her buddies, her cheerleaders, they will talk Non-Stop about absolutely nothing and gossip all day long. I'm glad they're gone.

So what would you do? Try to make conversation with this person or keep it to a minimum and limit your conversation with this person because, when the others were there, they would talk around you almost as if you weren't there.
Sometimes..

Ps I used talk to text on my phone so excuse all errors and typos thanks

Put in earplugs and make sure she sees it.

sometimes its fun to talk because it passes time better than silence... If you want to talk go ahead, but if you dont feel like it, then stay silent.

I wont change who I am to please someone else as it's not possible anyway and is an exercise in futility. Keep quiet as it is what is best for YOU. In the end she will have to find another way of amusing herself and it will be easier.

@curiosi yea if i have something to say, i will. If she brings up something, her weekend etc, i do abd will respond. No problem. But we aren't gonna be friends. I am not here to amuse you

You can leave one job because of the annoying co-workers and go to another job and have it as bad or worse. And by that time you may figure out you shouldn’t have left that job.

@cherokeepatti nope.haven't had one like this where i can't move away from coworkers. Only think i like is that my work is my own, and everyone is held accountable. Unlike retail where people dont have to pull their own weight

As I recall, chatty people at your work had their desks moved. That is ALWAYS done in call centers. They don't want to pay you to chat.

@4meAndyou i dont think you read the question. I have no problem working. They are the ones who talk all day. Desks havent been moved. People quit. Now chatty girl has no one to tslk to

@iamnikki I didn't express my thought well enough. I guess I was trying to point out that your chatty co-worker will get her desk moved if she keeps bothering you. AND you are doing the right thing being quiet.

Do you enjoy the job or would you rather quit too?
