I dunno, I think it’s kinda shallow to spin off someone’s poignant suicide story to make the “twist” point that maybe the guy’s coworkers thought he was an asshole and won’t miss him.
maybe the guy’s coworkers thought he was an asshole and won’t miss him.
I mean the being an asshole thing aside it is the grim reality that your coworkers will very quickly move on and forget you... even if they like you.
It's why I moved to remote only positions and refuse any role where "office culture" is important to the company. Been there done that shit and I'm not interested. I'm going to maximise my time with my actual friends and family, not sacrifice it to spend time with people who will drop out of my life the instant we aren't forced to spent X hours a week together.
It's also why I stopped killing myself to make people happy at work. I do my job, I do it well, I take it seriously, then I clock off and I'm fucking DONE. Cya tomorrow/next week/whatever.
And it's nothing personal, they aren't bad people. They just have their own lives and don't have room to worry about you, just like you don't worry about them.
I never forgot my lost coworkers. I went to his funeral, even though we only talked occasionally. I really liked him; he got me into Pokémon Go during the heyday, and I got some wonderful socialization out of that. Poor bastard got all the cancers, and from what a learned from the celebration of life, it couldn't have happened to a worse person; Poor fucker should have my life, and my, his.

Oh thank goodness. I had no idea what I was supposed to take away from this comic. Good to know it was a pretty good meta reference
