[Rant] Office politics is very draining.

I graduated this year and have been working as an intern in this company for a few months, full time now. And at first, everything seemed okay. People were okay to talk to, the managers were polite, etc. But as I've gotten to know them better.....all I see is the silent drama that goes on about the most petty things. My 35-ish manager has the ego of a 15 year old teenager and thinks he's hiding it well by talking 'nicely'. There's this whole unsaid division in the team where one side is the suck-ups and they're all best friends with each other and have this "us and them" thing going and no points for guessing, the manager loves them. They'll literally share every little thing with the guy, basically snitching on the rest of the people. And the other people are just at odds with the manager and his gang for whatever reason. The other day, the manager passed a comment about 'masturbation' on some other guy. This kinda thing really makes me not want to work here.

Apologies if this feels unstructured, I'm tired after a 10-hour work day.

Are you expecting a PPO? If not stop working for more than 4hrs.

I just started working full time this month. I needed the money and didn't have much of a choice in this market. I'm grinding LC, but it's hard to stay consistent with these working hours.
