Everybody talks about online mobs and trolls but what happens when the entire workforce is online?
How vicious can one (mob) be against another co-worker when you can't phisically see him to calibrate what's really going on and the reaction to what you do?
- dannyw 6y agoWell hopefully you don't have vicious mobs at your workplace.
- tsm 6y agoMy generally-pretty-friendly workplace has recently had quite a bit of viciousness about: a) bbatsov's response to calls for Rubocop to be renamed b) The use of "master" as the canonical branch's name in our main git repo c) Linking to xkcd #75 (which uses the c-word) (the link was provided in response to a thread about mixed levels of profanity)

- Polylactic_acid 6y agoI have to admit I have a weakness for reading but not participating in these shit-hit-the-fan github threads. So many people arguing over something so trivial.
- Consultant32452 6y agoIt sounds like your workplace has jumped the shark. I hope you're able to find another soon.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI don't right now, but I certainly have people who dislike each other for some reason or another, and I'm worried about what that looks like when they all start going 3, 6, 9 months without seeing each other.
- redisman 6y agoThat sounds like... an improvement?
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoHopefully, but I think there's a very plausible world where a lack of familiarity shifts people from "I kinda think he's wrong on these issues" to "I can't possibly work for a company that'd employ this jerk".
