Backbiting Techs.... common?

Did any of you starting out in the OR (nurses) have a problem with the surgical technicians? I am on orientation in the OR, as I said previously.... The plan is to teach us to circulate , and scrub, with the scrub component being taught, of course by the techs, and we are precepted by a circulator when we do that part. I just find that most of the techs at this facility are so so miserable, they talk down to the nurses, think they run the room, and it just generally seems like its an "us against them" type of situation.... I would think it would be more of a team atmosphere.... There is a group of 6 of us orientees, all RN's, all with extensive experience, albeit in other areas of nursing. They treat us like we just fell off the turnip truck, talking to us like we are 2 years old,backbiting constantly, not "letting "us

Very condescending. I was just curious if this was a semi common thing, or just particular to this facility. They complain all the time about how our orientation is horrible, bla bla bla, but I have nothing else to compare it to......I seem to think its pretty good.....
