This just isn’t true, unless you’ve managed to find a supremely hostile workplace.
I’m always shocked at how cynical some HN comments can be about coworkers. I’ve had my fair share of bad coworkers over the years, but I’ve also found numerous wonderful friends and built lasting relationships with many people.
This idea that all coworkers are inherently out to get you is bizarre.
- itronitron 5y agoI'm not saying they are inherently out to get you, my point is that they're advice is going to be based first on what works for them and not necessarily what best works for the person seeking advice. I suppose my larger point is that if a person's main source of stress is coming from the workplace then it's better to seek insight from sources external to the workplace.
