In the last 10 years i switched jobs 2 times and i still have contact to most of my ex-coworkers. I wouldn’t take a job if i dislike most of my coworkers.
At some point it’s not them, it’s you.
- ThePadawan 5y agoThank you for your experience! And I totally agree. I have had to quit job interviews simply because both sides agreed that while we could work together, we probably would both just have a bad time. But then I've also worked jobs where in 2020, employees still referred to things they thought were bad as "gay", so that's that.
- antisthenes 5y agoHow can you possibly know if you're going to like your coworkers without taking the job first and interacting with them? Good relationships take time to build.
- ThePadawan 5y agoI kinda want to congratulate you on never encountering the sort of person you immediate and strongly dislike within 10 minutes of meeting them for the first time. I know everyone has an off day some time, but I literally had job interview video calls before where my prospective boss asked me questions, then interrupted my answers 10 words in, for 20 minutes straight.
- antisthenes 5y agoI try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. There are definitely such people that I've disliked within 10 minutes of meeting them, but they were extremely rare and they were total strangers who were usually freaking out in public over something trivial (not necessarily related to me) I've never encountered such people in my professional life (thankfully). > video calls before where my prospective boss asked me questions, then interrupted my answers 10 words in, for 20 minutes straight. Yes, that might do it. I wonder how others tolerate them.
