How to Focus on Your Job When You're Distracted by Co-Workers
Many jobs require you to work in an environment that is not necessarily ideal or condusive to peak performance. How do you remain focused and not distracted? How do you avoid getting sucked into gossip sessions, office politics, etc?
Do the old salesman trick. Just simply nod your head to everything but don't say a word. Most of the gossip and politics will end when there isn't an audience. Sooner or later people will realize that you're either boring to talk to or have no interest in what they're saying. Eventually, they'll stop bugging you.

Office gossips are bound to happen and there is no way you can stop them, however if you present yourself as an individual least interested in office gossips, your colleagues will stop including you in their mess.

It has got to be an employer's market, a cousin of mine called and said that he got a job. The employer said that he was to work part time and was expected to be on call virtually at all times the store was open. Of course, no benefits outside the crappy compensation. What the hell is going on...
