I love my job. However, it is the office politics I hate.

I work in an open plan office with a group of women. I get on okay with most of them but I sit all I am near the group that is the worst in terms of sh**stirring. (it is unbeleivable and they are so "clever" about it)

However, Im just getting so peeved with it all, (even though I try not to join in the gossip I can hear it nonetheless... and it is draining me....I feel bogged down by their constant backstabbing of others.

tomorrow I plan to ask my manager if I can move to a quieter part of the big open plan office

I do not want to name names or dish dirt ...theres no point in that I beleive. ...but I need to know how to convince him to let me move desks.

I plan to be honest and say that I find it difficult to work in that environment but decline if he asks me for names etc...

any other ideas on how to get my desk moved appreciated...

thanks all. FYI I spoke to my manager. He knew, (WITHOUT me needing to name) that the group where i sit are troublemakers and I will soon be moving desks.
