There's lots of words like that but you're ignoring the perception framing the reality.
Usage of the word within the in-group may mean one thing but from the out-group it means a whole different thing.
You're basically calling yourself a slave and justifying it with blissful ignorance.
You're saying 'words mean what I say they mean and I'm ignoring all shades of meaning but the ones I choose'.
and you can't see that in a professional culture if some people are "suits" and some people are "geeks" it's a drastic disadvantage situation in favour of stereotypes over reality.
And plus bro I wouldn't call you bro at the office but you'd surely call me a geek.
- mech422 6y agodam - lot of assumptions there, not to mention presumption of authority. Just for the record, I don't feel 'disadvantaged' or 'stereotyped'. If people feel their professional standing/opportunities are based on dress code, title or hanging around hoping to be the first person the boss notices - I'd say they seem more 'disadvantaged' then me. But that's just my opinion. Seems like we're at an impasse - Let's just call it here. You can be a 'software engineer' and I'll be a 'Geek'. edit: swap 'bro' for 'software engineer' as I could see 'bro' be taken as condescension.
