Drama? Nitpickers? Gossip? I think what you're experiencing is simply the effects of a backslidden society, and it doesn't stop just at the workplace either....
Damn I miss the good ol' days....
...and I wasn't even alive then!

You're right! None of these things even existed until recently. Drama in the 1920's? Unheard of! Nitpickers in the 1880's? Unthinkable! Gossip in the time of Julius Caesar? Ridiculous!

Did I say it never existed? No.
Is it more abundant now? Yes.

workplace politics are for the birds, I try and just be me all the time and not get tied up in all the drama/gossip bs, it's much easier, this guy laid it out pretty well, I think he was reading my mind or something:
