not as good as it seems

Everything was fine at least a month ago. I enjoyed working there and i kinda loved my job. As time goes by, i realized that things are not as fine as it seemed. Well, my boss said that i did well in my first project then he gave me a break till new project comes. New project came as as the new APM recruited. He got it. Another new project came and it was assigned to one of senior APM. No projects left for me. I end up with assisting one of senior APM who doesn't really need assistance and couldn't be a good tutor for junior. She never makes her project documentation, she never gives status report, she doesn't know her project planning. What is she capable of ? why should i be paired with that kind of person ? It such a waste. Or is this what we call passion ? I don't have passion in this management stuffs like a guy from Microsoft said that i better be specialist instead of generalist. Because every time i see the developers working on their code, i wanna do that too. Every time they learn about new project, i feel that i can do it well, even faster.

I've got some new friends here. We hang out, have lunch or coffee break together. When we spend time together, there will always be gossip about people in a company. At first, it's fun. But the gossip has gone too far. I thought it was just personal aversion to some people. But then i realized that the company is divided into two groups who never like each other. The office is no longer conducive. Fake smiles and satire are all around. The most awkward thing is, i'm in the team which consists of people whom we usually talk about. 

Gosh, this office is so high school.

Or this is what a real world of work like ? intrigue and schemes everywhere.
