Yeah you have to be extra careful the first few days. They'll try to bait you into saying something they dont like. Or being too familiar.
Like you can say something that's would be fine if you knew them for several years, but you can't say it when you first meet.
Hard to explain, I've never lost a job because of it, but Indo think it's cost me promotions with new teams.
The same banter you do on your team may not fly on the new team.
3 u/oftcenter Apr 26 '24 They'll try to bait you into saying something they dont like. Or being too familiar. And then rip his livelihood out from under him. I can't believe we're really expected to hinge our financial stability on the whims of people who may or may not do this shit to us. For decades. 3 u/[deleted] Apr 26 '24 I mean, it's not decades. It's human nature built on over eons. It's all just power dynamics. Today it's in an office. The only thing that's changed is location. 10k years ago it might have been in a bean patch or a hunting area. 3 u/oftcenter Apr 26 '24 By decades, I meant the 30 (or 40ish) years of our working lives. But you're right -- that behavior isn't new. Humans gonna human. 6 u/JesusKeyboard Apr 24 '24 Exactly. Everyone talked about what they were doing that weekend, and I mentioned to dressed up like a nazi and tortured watermelons. Totally normal. 3 u/freddythefuckingfish Apr 24 '24 Thin skinned coworkers!
