For me it's saying, "we can't joke about anything anymore". Sirens go off immediately 🚨

Corporate jargon outside the office. Hell, even in the office when it’s over the top.

    Ping me when you circle back to this, we might surface more examples granted we’ve still got bandwidth for it.

    yeah i had a couple people in my life would who talk to you like this and I just stopped interacting with them. It was so obnoxious.

    The worst part is they would 'correct' my language to corpo speak. I'd say "oh having a rough couple of weeks you know' and they'd go 'you can't say that, you have to say you are underperforming but plan to compensate in the future'

    it was so fucking surreal.

    yes. they are the type of people who work 80 hours a week and treat their job as their identity/religion/family. and their entire life's purpose is their career. and think anyone who doesn't work 80 hours a week and has a life outside of their job is 'weird' or 'lazy'.

    “Maybe you feel the need to compensate, but that doesn’t mean everyone does.”

    For real though, that’s bizarre. It’s okay to not perform at 100% all the time, that’s how you fast track to burn-out. Thank goodness my workplace isn’t of the “grind employees until they’re dust” mentality. Last time I showed signs of work stress, my boss actually sat with me to plan out some mental health days for the coming months.

    We need to synergize on Lemmy more, and increase our networking.
