Working in a fast food restaurant where most of the workers are high school and college students, I can relate. The drama is why I haven't quit yet. Never part of it tho, but I've a friend who tells me everything that happens.
This is good and unpopular, well done. 
It actually can be fun sometimes >

curious what type of industry you in? what is the average age of the people you work with? >

Research and development. The ages range from 20 to 60 years, but really it’s only the people under 35 who act like how I described >

Engineering? >

I would guess bio. >

Nah, I get it. That’s why part of me honestly enjoyed working in the restaurant industry >

OP you’re terrible but I love it lmao >

so pretty much you just like observing chaos without contributing to make it better or worse >

The problem is, stick around long enough, and the toxicity will likely get directed at you at some point. >

I can understand this. If you can tolerate it long enough, you can carve out a nice little indispensable role for yourself amongst the disfunction. I’ve definitely done it before.
