To talk volubly, persistently, and usually inconsequentially:
babble, blabber, chatter, chitchat, clack, palaver, prate, prattle, rattle (on), run on.
Informal: go on, spiel.
Slang: gab, gas, jaw, yak.
Idioms: run off at the mouth, shoot the breeze (or bull).
Thank you, Mr. Roget.

Ahh the condescending politics of the office eh? Fk them, do not take them on board. Believe me friend these bumpy skinned creatures dwell in offices throughout the land, and you are not alone in your persecution. Advice? Change jobs, that is the most effective remedy there is.

prattler ~ one who talks idly

monologist ~ one who makes a tedious speech that blocks conversation


Or if you want to invent a more specific word, based on Greek derivation, you might end up with an eremologist (one who speaks,despite being abandoned).
