And I stayed for exactly one hour, through 8 hands, with each hand lasting almost 10 minutes as these guys had no concentration and complained about every single thing. Every hand ended with each player trying to out slow roll the others and then one player would retrieve his cards from the muck and put them up on the board to show that he would have made the nuts if he hadn't folded pre-flop. Aaaargh.

I too am middle age and I have pretty high tolerance level. But the 8 hands in an hour would have driven me over the edge.
How old is your coworker? And assuming he is a poker player like you, how does he handle this game on a regular basis?

He's older than me by 5 years but still quite a bit younger than the rest of those guys. He doesn't report directly to me but I can have a lot of say in his career here. He's not even close to my level at poker but he's been asking me a lot of questions about the game so when he invited me to this game I thought I'd give it a try.
When I came to my office today my admin told me that he had already been by twice to see me. I'm going to let him suffer for a while though.
