What is the best way to stay focused and positive when you work in a very dysfun!
Question: What is the best way to stay focused and positive when you work in a very dysfunctional workplace!?
I work in the office of a Fortune 500 company, and for some reason, my coworkers insist on being loud, vulgar, sexist, and just plain obnoxious in general!. Managers and HR look the other way and pretend that nothing is going on!.
I have politely asked them to tone it down, but they have told me to "lighten up"!. Obviously, I don't belong here, and it is time to start looking for another job!. In the meantime, what are some suggestions for helping me to stay hopeful and positive, and to realize that I will survive this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have the same problem at my job!. Just worry about yourself and do what you need to do!. Maybe bring in earphones or something to help drown them out!. Or ask to telecommute or something!.
You have a lot more options than I have!. I work at a movie theater concession stand and we all need to work together as a team!. If I'm the only one ringing, and there's a huge line, and the others are off texting in the corner on their cell phones, fooling around, guess who gets all the complaints!?!? I'm dependent on my coworkers to get their job done, and when they don't I can't always do my job right!.
But you sound like you work in an office, and everyone does their own work, at their own cubicle, so just ignore them and focus on your own stuff!.
I wouldn't necessarily look for another job in your case b/c working in a 500 company you probably make a decent sized paycheck, that might be hard to match somewhere else!. But if you can't find a way to work it out, then maybe you have to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depending on how vulgar some of the things are, you could go to your Union and explain the situation or otherwise leave your job and find another!.

Some positive energy radiating from you would be one way!.
the Australian Bush Flower Essences Relationship is good even if no one else takes it the aura you project brings in more positive energy towards you!.
Now if you can add Slender Rice Flower and the Relationship to a common drinking source (co-operation of participants needed though, legally) but the whole office would run better :o)))
Just the Slender Rice Flower in a sprayer and sprayed around the office would promote harmony!!!
IF you just add it to water, has not smell, you could say you are adding moisture to the room!? It is not a drug in any case so only works on resonance to those that need it!.
But best to ask for legal reasons!.
