Arguments in the lab

J

I was wondering how other people get along with the people they work with? I get along with the people I work with really well, but the other day three people I work with had a massive argument. There has been a lot of talking behind peoples backs since which I've been trying to stay out of by hiding in my lab, but I find it all a bit upsetting. The people who are arguing are much older than me so I think they should know better. I don't know how to handle the situtation. Today I really didn't want to go in because things haven't improved and I'm not sure it will just blow over. Is this normal behaviour in academia as I have never seen this in other places I have worked at?

Seems that bitching goes all the way up the ranks in my faculty. Just be glad you're not involved and keep your head down!

headphones and work away - the only way to get through it is to work through it.

Thanks driven2insanity... I though I was the only one who did that
