office drama
Cubicle conflict saga
Office drama refers to interpersonal conflicts, gossip, and emotional tensions that arise among coworkers in a workplace setting.
It encompasses petty disputes, cliques, romantic entanglements, and power struggles that distract from actual work: I try to stay out of the office drama.
The term often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting the conflicts are trivial or unnecessarily theatrical.
