Overwrought workplace ham acts like overwrought ham. One of my wife's subordinates (think Olivia Munn type) resigned recently to take another job. She was given an exit interview and asked about her thoughts on the work environment by my wife. Olivia told her that things were not bad with the exception of one colleague. I will call this one Frumpy. Olivia told my wife that everything is always an ordeal for Frumpy, who always seems on the verge of being overwhelmed by her environment. Olivia reported that Frumpy made the decision to seek a new job easier, as Olivia would no longer have to listen to Frumpy's crises. I have met Frumpy, and never liked her. She has a weirdly close relationship with her mother that is not healthy for an adult (~50 years old), and has never had a serious significant other. This I can understand, because even if Frumpy lost her 80 excess pounds, she would still be ugly as fuck. Anyway, my wife had a meeting with Frumpy so she could inform her of Olivia's thoughts, and try to get Frumpy to stop letting situations overwhelm her. What did Frumpy do after being informed of this?  She went into her office and cried.
