The other way around. The humour at work is dark.
we had a conversation about ritual suicide at work the other day and my coworker i'm the closest with was like "if that's what we're doing, i guess that's what we're doing"
A coworker once started a conversation with "I wonder how much it would cost to purchase a child".
isn't adoption free?
Russian orphans are not free... Can't say otherwise.
Too much paperwork.
Sometimes you gotta take one for the team. Otherwise what are we even doing here.
I'm so jealous. Masking my humour at work for the last seven years has left me nearly sane, stopped even talking to myself when I'm alone because I'm so boring now. I hardly ever wink at myself in a mirror anymore, I'm beside myself...
We went from the housing situation to how the specific bridge at the Frankfurt Airport is not only comfy, but you also have a splatter party from people jumping from it, over if you could suicide by jumping from the height of our office, and ended with that people jumping but surviving (and vegetating in a wheelchair) must feel damn bad about not even being able to get that right.
The main driving force in those conversations is the group's boss (so my boss's boss).
Exactly what I was thinking. We are EXTREMELY racist at work. Toward everyone. Of like 12 people, only 3 are the same race.
Something something "its not racist if we are ALL racist!" /s
And the only (cis and therefore official) woman is either called dwarf or quota
Imagine having not 1, but multiple friend groups
They're just talking about the three Discord servers they go on.
3 different Twitch streams they're a regular on.
imagine having a friend
ikr
If you include cosplay, perhaps.
Fuck you and your extroversion, OP
Show off
oh sure, rub it in, mr multiple friend groups
Extrovert problems.
I have a 3 day work conference coming up and will need to constantly remind myself that they are a bunch of normies who won't appreciate my humor or atypical value system.
There will be others telling themselves the same thing. Be yourself, attract those like you. Start a cult. Take over the conference.
Normally I agree with you. When I used to go to catering conventions I'd let let myself off the leash. Hospitality industry people appreciate my antics. By the end of those trips there would always be people coming up to me to ask, "Aren't you the guy that ______?"
This is a particularly small group (18 people including me and my director) and I've moved from hospitality to healthcare. I don't know everyone super well but I know them well enough to know that I need to behave.
Oh yeah, depending on the corner of healthcare you are in, that makes sense.
I am the one who jokes!
has more than one friend group | has more than one friend | has a friend 😭
Gotta make sure that you are logged into the correct account on Lemmy, don't cross the streams.
I have like 20 different personalities istg, I don't even know who I am anymore
MPD or DID, perhaps?
Nah jk, we adapt to people to make ourselves more likable.
