It's so irritating when somebody tries to be friendly at the job
Wow, really? You honestly find it irritating when someone perceives you might have a mutual interest in something only tangentially related to work, so strikes up a conversation with you? Or someone likes the cut of your jib when they first meet you and suggests you walk across the road to the sandwich place together? Or offers to grab you an espresso whilst they're getting theirs? You find all of that... irritating?
- vvanders 10y agoRead his post closer, he hates people bullshitting when there's work to be done.
- oldmanjay 10y agoThe tone of the post leads me to feel like there is incipient burnout
- pessimizer 10y agoIf so, I was burnt out on the first day of my first job 25 years ago.
- derefr 10y agoI identify heavily with this statement. Then again, executive function disorder.
- pessimizer 10y agoIf we could be working, yes. I don't want to be at work, and we're extending it by talking about the cut of my jib. I dislike work so much that they have to pay me or I wouldn't even come in. edit: to be a little clearer - when it comes to coworkers, I mistake how pleased I am with how they do their jobs with whether I like them or not. In real life, I would actually like many of the people who were horrible at their jobs and dislike some of the people who made me happiest with their work. edit 2: I don't even like working with people who are already my friends unless they can find a way to let it go at the job. All things being equal, I'd prefer to work with a stranger.
