I've unfortunately have discovered that the people who I thought to be friends (smart, funny, kind) have completely changed their attitude once they found out my employer. Now I have to watch out everything I say around them because it's all assumed to come from a place of evil intent and interpreted in the worst case possible.
Lesson learned: do not share your work place with anyone you want to keep being friends with, at least not people that aren't similarly employed/earn similarly.
- 3np 6y agoDo you work at Palantir or the GOPs social media department or something? Because that sounds extreme and can’t be just about income levels BTW it’s freeing coming from a country where discussing income and money is taboo. I don’t even know what my parents earn. It has its downsides as well, but it’s nice not even being able to judge.

Never seen it directed at individuals just for being employed at either of those, though. Don’t be surprised if no one appreciates or even cares about your work besides your employer. It’s part of the package.
