So when I worked in last 2 roles, I’d joke around and have a laugh with colleagues, the workplace culture of those places I guess was more relaxed, but I got that sense of lack of camaderie or fellowmanship from others too during my time working.

Sorry to be naive, but is it because some people look out for themselves and it’s kind of “Yeah you’re a funny guy but uh… when shit hits the fan I ain’t there with you” kind of shtick.

Not saying these guys are assholes or anything, but I just think with the current world in any work industry it seems to be tricky to make real friendships inside and outside of work.

I don’t know if this just me but I notice that big distinction of the joking around and sharing the same invested topics (I.e. video games) but no more than that

TLDR - Confused if people are being genuine, but they don’t really “care” in a sense?

Please let me know if I’m spouting gobbledygook, thank you.

    Isn’t that the whole point of hiring people that fit the company culture? I’ve worked at both types of places in different stages of my life. Both can feel good or bad depending on where you’re at. Don’t try to change the job to fit your needs. Find a different one.

      The words “company culture” always make me laugh.

      Company culture is the first to go out the window when shit hits the fan.

      People being let go for speaking their minds, în the most respectful manner, by a company that “values openness”.

      Culture being changed to fit the current corporate needs.

      “Company culture” is nothing but corporate 🐂💩.

      Don’t drink the corporate kool-aid, kids.

        “Not fitting company culture” is just how racists get away with not hiring qualified candidates.

          The fit was always code word for suburban whites for a lot of things

          Society has caught on now.

        If I remember correctly, this is literally one of the points taken from the sabotage handbook. Is your job really making you so miserable, or is this some kind of organized propaganda campaign?

          Is your job really making you so miserable

          Management and HR departments are quite efficient on that kind of moral sabotage. It could be an organized propaganda campaign, at least those would make sense.

          Doing the work you are paid for is sabotage?

          🤡

          Is you naive or a bootlicker?

            doing enough not to get fired

            Ok, not the exact same phrasing, but close enough.

              Some good advice in there tbh

              But as long as they behave, I got no interest in wasting my time to diversion.

              You seem like the type to run to the boss man tho

              You priorities are wacked haha

        Totally get that. Just saying that different people want different things out of their jobs, and it’s a good thing that there are places where all of them can fit.

          Most places suck ass to work for.

          Good jobs are few… So most people don’t get what they want lol
