Personally I feel like it’s less about exposure to extreme gore and porn and stuff like that. It’s more about the constant barrage of awful shit happening all over the world. Some stupid thing some politician said, police brutality, an asshole on a plane, etc. Our brains just weren’t designed to handle so much stimulus overload. I’m not a psychologist or whatever but that’s my opinion.
I just told the truth. Personal time off, health and wellness, weight loss, surfing, travel, and yes vibing doing nothing.
It went over well. Most interviewers were more interested in that than my professional experience. Most people can’t do that and want to know what it’s like.
For my part, I don’t want to work for/with people who look down on that sort of thing.
Warning: my resume is extremely strong so I have a lot of leverage. YMMV
I said I miss learning through osmosis, when you hear colleagues talking about something you may have heard of or read about but never seen in real life. So you get hands on practical real life experience on new concepts - or vice versa, teach someone else something new. You know, a healthy exchange of knowledge and ideas to help each other learn and grow. Fuck me, right?
This guy posted a 3000 word rant about how much he hates me, and he’s going to need weeks to prepare for that mentally and make sure he’s got the right outfit on and knows what kind of soda to offer me. Like dude wtf…
I truly enjoy a good debate “in good faith” where both parties lay out their positions and defend themselves and challenge my views. There’s very little of that here. Just pure unbridled rage and astonishing ignorance.
Some of the people here are downright scary in how toxic and antisocial they are. I just got called a social vampire in another thread for having the audacity to say I personally want to return to office because I miss learning from colleagues, which just doesn’t really happen when everyone is wfh. I’m pretty introverted myself but holy shit, the vitriol was intense. Unbelievable.
Don’t worry, lemmy definitely beats Reddit in the socially maladjusted toxic asshole department.
I literally saw it three or four posts lower and recognized the name. I didn’t go through their history stalking them.
I had originally upvoted this comment but then I saw this gem you posted below:
Give me a break and stop huffing your own farts please.
Really classy.
I cringe when I see new messages. Aw fuck, who did I piss off now?
It’s really incredible how many savage assholes there are around here. My theory is they’re bots designed to encourage engagement by enraging us. It’s pretty effective.
Buggy and full of loud ignorant assholes. So pretty in-brand with my decades of experience online.
Once for my birthday my aunt baked me not one but two cakes! She couldn’t remember if I prefer chocolate or vanilla so she just made both. That was a week of indulgence I vividly remember, and my god at the end there I was so relieved those damn cakes were eaten omg XD
Best I can do is Blippi sorry
(Google him if you haven’t, he’s hypnotic)
Yeah but most people aren’t Alexander the Great or Mozart. And even if you are, you’re probably not working in congress, hah
The USA is run by unpaid 22 year old interns being supervised by underpaid 24 year olds.
Old people in charge are definitely a problem (McConnell, Feinstein etc) but the people in their offices doing all the heavy lifting are basically children.
It’s a costume party!! Not an actual job! How tf are they at all the same thing 😂 🤦♂️
Mistakes can never be corrected, got it.
… I can’t tell if you’re serious or not. How is that at all the same thing? He wore a costume to a costume party. This girl wore a costume to her client facing position while working. There’s no universe where this is the same thing.
We’re not talking about racism. Nobody has pink hair naturally. This individual made a choice to appear a certain way. If that is contrary to the business’s image they are trying to project then they have every right to terminate her or at least put in a back office role, not front house client facing.
Also how does not fall under dress code? Basically the same thing and nobody finds that controversial for the most part.
Fuck your stupid pink and blue hair lol that’s how I came up with that
