me and my co-workers are family, bruh
I used to work at a ty job as you might know. There were several funny dudes but the workload was often too heavy to allow us any legit time for chats. Thank god (not my goddess cuz I wasn't yet a Scarlett fan at that time) I quit that and even though I'm not sure how much a graduate degree will deliver, at least I'm now doing something I really enjoy (writing) tbh.

The first couple of years at my current job, I went to work and worked all day, sometimes without saying a word to anyone. My work is meticulous and done alone for the most part. That is why I like it. If I was talking to someone, it was about work. Then, I started to notice that some people possibly viewed me as unfriendly so I tried to force myself to chit chat and stuff, but it actually made me less happy at my job. I was much happier in my solo state than having to listen to all the gossip and griping. I did not like it. The vast majority of these people are just looking to do something instead of their actual job. I recently have decided to embrace my introversion and be who I am. I am not unfriendly; I just like to work quietly and without drama. I also take a really late lunch so I can sit somewhere and read a book. I have never done anything with a co-worker after work, and I never intend to do so. I do help with group events that are held at work, such as when someone retires or the holiday luncheon we have. Fortunately my immediate boss is the only one who does my evaluations and all she cares about is my work. I repeatedly get told how no one can believe how much work I get done! Wonder why?
Wow.
Can't say I am surprised at the responses but wow - glad I don't have that situation in my life.
I freakin' love every minute of my work, love my co-workers and generally spend the day laughing and in around - while I am getting done. I don't even take a break. Ever.
My co-workers literally have to be depended on to save my life, or I, theirs - so we become very close. Best men and women in the world. Professional, courteous, educated, real, and loads of fun. Seems unimaginable to spend your life in any other way - IMO.
, even the people on the other side of the law - are fun to be around - when they aren't bat crazy or trying to knock my head off. I joke around with them also - except that there is always that LINE -that you keep - the professional line - that allows me to joke with them - but not to cross a line and get into any legal liability.
Some people in my business ended up this way because when the hits the fan - humor is sometimes the only thing that would literally keep you from losing your mind or "snapping" - so maybe this humor is always part of our jobs and making it fun develops into a great place where people care for each other and watch each others backs.
On the other hand - whatever job I have ever done - or whatever hat I have worn in my life - there was always one constant = I was always in' around and having a blast.
Could not imagine any other way. ymmv.
Yes you are wrong. Getting ahead in life has as much to do with who you know as what you know. Even if these aren't people who will ever be able to help your career you should start practicing your networking skills now. I keep in touch with a lot of former coworkers. These aren't friends that I want to hang out with every weekend. I just keep in touch by calling them once in a while or going to lunch with them occasionally and as a result I've been offered to good jobs in the past 2 years even though I'm not interested in a new job.
Wait....
You invested your time in networking with these people so they could help you get a job that you aren't interested in?
You have serious reading comprehension issues.
Excellent point tbh
90 percent of the time I'm a grumpy prick at work. What annoys me is people that pretend that they want to be chatty and buddy buddy and then when I bite and participate in chit chat, they give me an at ude. They give me an at ude of " you, I was just being nice and I don't really want to talk to chit chat with you".
Jacob on a scale of 1 to 10 how close are you to going on a shooting spree?
"Eighty percent of success is showing up." - Woody Allen
probably the most important quote to ever know. it's so damn true.
Jacob, when your coworkers ask you "how are you", they don't want you to launch into a 5 minute update of how ty your life currently is. Just say "doing good!" and move along.
i wish i the women in my office were better looking
I just don't like it. I don't like the insincere fake approach when people try to be nice. If you are going to be fake nice, either be convincing enough to fool me or just be yourself.
Yeah I do.
Use to chat a lot with a a few females co-worker during lunch or break. The guys were supreme losers always talking about weed so I stayed out of their way...I don't think it's a good idea though since it becomes a little bit awkward when one of you starts liking the other.
