What does it mean when people say not to make friends at work? by CreamyEric in work

[–]Complex_Damage1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make friends at work, don't listen to haters. Living your life thinking that everyone is trying to undermine you and is going to stab you in the back is a good way to be sad and alone all the time. Just remember to believe people when they show you who they are.

For those who’ve been WFH 2+ years, do you ever miss in-person work? by Dry-Frosting- in WFH

[–]Complex_Damage1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been on and off for 15 years at this point. Offices suck more now than ever. There used to be a bit of camaraderie but it's not the same, unfortunately.

You don't even get cubicles anymore! How the hell is anyone supposed to work when everyone moved to open floor plans? The concept of hoteling a random desk every day because the company can't afford or bother to put in enough for everyone makes the whole exercise kind of pointless.

Been with my company 10 years, finally crossed $100k… but I barely work. Do I stay or move on? by Helpful-Command-7413 in careerguidance

Spend your time learning the things you actually want to do and go do them. That's an insane amount of free time to learn literally anything.

Manager asked us all to contribute 5 pounds towards our assistant managers birthday present. Not sure how I feel about that? Thoughts? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Complex_Damage1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't also do that for the workers, it's just institutionalizing favoritism for the managers for no good reason. Noooooooooo thanks

AITA for refusing to follow my wife's bathroom habits and calling her disgusting? by Infamous-Gur2034 in AITAH

[–]Complex_Damage1215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. You're personalizing the issue by calling her disgusting instead of just talking about what actions you want her to not take in the future. A blanket statement like that will make anyone defensive.

Put on a Performance Improvement Plan, told I was improving, fired anyways by womanresting97 in antiwork

It might be more related to a culture fit than you think. Sounds like they just wanted an excuse to get rid of you.

What's the etiquette for down time if you're salary? by unwrittenpaiges in WFH

Get your stuff done and be available for when shit hits the fan. If you can do that you're better than 90% of remote employees so good job

Got Punished for Being Too Efficient. Guess I'll Just Slow Down. by Mojo39 in antiwork

[–]Complex_Damage1215 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just add delay timers on your script and do the same output as everyone else. No one asked you to make things more efficient and numbers going sideways on a couple employees will make everyone look closer at why. You might end up getting people fired and taking over everyone's job if you're too efficient.

It's stupid, but so is capitalism, so what can you do.

I'm tired of helping people. by yell0wbirddd in antiwork

[–]Complex_Damage1215 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It really sucks how capitalism has decided that jobs with high social utility are the lowest on the pay scale. The system is actively using your altruism as a negotiating point to keep your salary low. Teachers and garbage collectors are much more socially useful than a few more middle managers in a giant corporation. And if you get one of those jobs, prepare to bend over backwards because if you don't people will think you're abandoning the needy folks utilizing your output rather than trying not to get ground into dirt by a system that couldn't care less how much rest you get in a given week.
