Your job is not a family.
Your boss is not your friend. Your company will never be loyal to you.
Remember a job is just a job.
Be loyal to you, not a corporation.
You will always be replaceable to them.
- Linda Le
I *hate* when jobs expect me to socialize with my co-workers and my boss. It's a way for them to try and make employees feel like they owe the company something more than what they're paid for.
@tyghebright God yes. I haven't worked outside of my home since 2007 or so ... maybe earlier but I don't miss the corporate grooming and forced participation at all. The madness and the backstabbing and the nonsense just never sat well with me.
@tyghebright That does not surprise me at all.
It's almost like those environments are designed to make people think they have to fight over scraps.
ya think? 😜
Exactly.
And most people internalize the dynamic so much they're not conscious of it.
@tyghebright @thewebrecluse It is very surreal to be a person with no sense of peer pressure when it happens. You look around, and it's like everyone around you has been hypnotized.

I had co-workers who resented me for it, and literally worked against me for not being more social.
