so i have a coworker named Denise and she's probably one of the weirdest people i worked with

okay for context, for some reason she always seems to know things she shouldn't know because she was never explicitly told abt it

a few months ago i told my supervisor that i needed to leave early because i had a doctor's appointment. the next day, Denise randomly asked me how it went when I never told her about it. I figured.. maybe someone mentioned it to her but whatever, i just brushed it off because i believe it wasn't that serious

however, stuff like that kept happening

she would ask people about schedule changes, PTO requests, meetings they attended, things like that... it's like she became curious abt almost everything even if it's none of her business. yk, nothing major, but enough that people would stop and go, "Wait, how tf you know that??"

last week things finally got awkward because one of our newer employees, Jenna, came to the office annoyed because Denise apparently asked her if she was looking for another job

and why/how did she know?

because Denise noticed she updated her LinkedIn profile... i'm sorry but who checks their coworkers' LinkedIn often to even notice as small as that???

once Jenna told us about it, everybody started sharing their own Denise stories and funny thing is that turns out almost everyone had one

how do you even deal with/confront a Denise in your office???

people tell me that my posture is bad but they don't offer ways on how to make it better. i grew up carrying heavy bags daily that it impacted my posture (i might be cooked lololol).. but i still wanna ask if there are easy practices for it. thanks!
