He said that in reference to coworkers at your job. Some of the women are “mean girls” who gossip about other people, some guys are bullies (obviously not in an in-your-face way), and some of the adults just act like high school students. The only difference is that some of your coworkers are in their 20s, 30s, or 40s.

Really depends on the workplace I think. Even within similar sectors, I’ve been in situations where it was definitely that way, but in another similar workplace there was absolutely none of that. A lot of it has to do with leadership, I think. But also humans are prone to gossip and be judgy and not everyone grows out of that or learns to keep it to themselves, so there will always be people.
