Why are adults behaving worse than little kids?
- wiseowise 2y agoAren’t you the one who behaves like a little kid when another adult outlined their boundaries but you continue to push your line?
- majkinetor 2y agoIs that some kind of logical argument? You can do that for anything and there is 0 utility. The point is that little kids experience all kind of much nastier "non-professionall behavior" in school, yet when we say to adult "fuck you" all hell breaks loose. Pathetic.
- wiseowise 2y agoYou might want to direct all this pent up frustration into something productive. Not everything in life is about utility, some people want to just feel nice and don’t deal with your negative energy and that is completely fine.
- majkinetor 2y agoThis is not a frustration, I am calling it as it is, emotionless. At work, it's about utility, not about being nice, looking good, making jokes. At your home, you can feel nice and demand of others to do so.
- wiseowise 2y agoYou advocate for allowing, or even normalizing, saying “fuck you” in the office, that’s anything but emotionless. > At work, it's about utility, not about being nice, looking good, making jokes. At best your message sounds rude, at worst you sound like a jerk. And I say that as someone who used to think like you.
- majkinetor 2y agoI am fine with that, call me jerk or rude. I don't care how people perceive me, even when they are not random folks like you. I care about the job being done correctly, efficiently. I care about the users. I don't care about poor IT developers, who have the worst life can offer (sarcasm). Get some perspective, man! If you can't take "fuck you" or equivalent while passionately doing something, just move away, let the grown-ups do the thing, don't make this thing about you, your feelings or your morning sugar. It's this type of prima dona type of engineer that I try to avoid at all cost.
