> Massive amounts of soy lattes,
Don't drink them.
> excessive friendliness that seems almost fake.
Don't look for meaningful connections at work if they aren't there.
> MacBook obsession aka "I think we should all use MacBooks, they are best and it creates nice unified vibe..."
Use a MacBook if you have to. Don't use one if you don't have to and don't want to.
> They want to change the world, engage in activism but are less willing to change their own toxic behavior and/or character.
Sounds like hobbies mixing with work. Try to stay out of it. If your current environment is indeed toxic, look for another one.
> Seemingly random working time, daily alcohol or drug consumption that affects work performance => mood swings
Up to them. Leave it to management to determine if that's a problem and then take action.
> Unable to use email, if someone (client ,colleague) refuses to use Slack it's insurmountable problem.
Again, up to management to sort out.
> Spending lot of money at Barber's and for avocado toasts, complaining about no money for rent
If they want to spend dollar on fresh cuts and avocado toast that's up to them. Not your problem, or your business!
Facts aside, I understand where you're coming from. It sounds like you feel out of place, and that's a bit rubbish. Not much you can do aside from:
- Join them! Get a fresh cut, eat avocado toast, and embrace the MacBook.
- or, find a different environment where you are a better fit.
- or, continue feeling like an outsider at work.
Remember - work doesn't have to be a second home. A job's a job's a job's a job.
- the_only_law 5y agoYeah up until the list of grievances I was thinking this was a serious post, but I’m guessing it’s a very lame attempt at trolling. These aren’t genuine workplace complaints, just caricatures of millennials who are probably in their 30s themselves.
