Two-Faced People

This happens everywhere. Surprisingly, not everyone actually gets along with everyone.

No, I keep on going to meetups but do my best to keep my mouth shut about those things. I just learn not to see them as friends, and trust them only on the working place with working stuff.

And if you're wondering: yes, they're probably speaking about you too, but that's ok.

Remember: THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS

it's just venting.
I talk shit about petty stuff co-workers do at work when I'm talking with freind, they're not bad workers mostly but they just do stupid shit. i don't dislike them really.
i know my co-workers probably do the same shit, I do stupid shit too.

it's probably because if you're all together as co-workers, they're bound to talk about work matters and vent about it.
but some people just like talking ill or making fun of other people you both know for conversation talk

"hey, guys, I don't want to talk about work. Did anybody see the game last night?"

There's a difference between shit talking and venting. Learn the difference. If they are shit talking, tell them to knock it off because it isn't high school. If it's just venting then try to steer the subject towards something else if it's making you uncomfortable.

I know there's a difference, that's why I specified shit talking. I ended up steering the conversation away like you said, but it baffles me that they thought it was ok behaviour in the first place when they're all smiles face to face with the guys they talk about.

People like that are snakes. You need to let them know that it's not cool. Be professional about it and it will catch them off guard. They'll either drop it and not do it again or hate you and shit talk you behind your back. Pick your poison kid.
