So can "corporate talk" at a white collar job. There are days where I want to vomit after hearing about "stakeholders", "action items", and "alignment". I'd prefer crude jokes to that, even if they were directed at me.
- jvanderbot 2y agoIt's a little different when people are regularly talking about your genitals or sexual preferences or histories or your family reputation. And in public. And in team meetings. That kind of thing rarely comes up in corporate america. In corp/academia people just like to imply you're lazy or unintelligent, subtly and frequently. But yeah, white collar jobs are annoying as well. That's why we all get paid to do them.
- DiggyJohnson 2y agoI think everyone else is assuming a different level and amount of personal insults when we discuss “shop talk”.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoBecause I've heard different levels and amounts of insults. It can just be some harmless dad jokes and softball stuff you'd hear in white collar work. It can just be outright sexual harassment. It depends so much on your environment that it's hard to pin down a universal "standard" .
