I'm a millennial but this reminds me of when I first got into the work force and was stuck in an office full of boomers with me being the youngest. I remember the boss would take turns taking shots at different people during meetings, making insensitive racial jokes about people. I eventually got tired of doing the uncomfortable fake laugh so I just sat there stone faced during his jokes. He halted the entire meeting to a stop to ask me why I wasn't laughing. This is the extent to which office culture must be obeyed and how insecure they get when you don't go along with it. It's so pathetic.

I feel like a water slapper sometimes in how pointless my job is

Memmy has been my favorite, although I wish it would go back to having updates. I understand they're taking a break though and I just need to be patient

This fascist shit is worldwide. I was just reading yesterday about Canada's Conservative party leader espousing antisemitic conspiracy theories. What the fuck

The examples you gave seem more like conversation starters (how are you, the weather) rather than signs that the conversation will be boring. When I think of boring conversation, I think more about people who only talk about themselves or go on long tangents about things you don't care about

I don't really care about upvote/downvote count, it would be nice if there was a toggle to hide it completely

Rejecting my vacation request for stupid reasons and not giving me a raise for over two years. I had been there for 10 years.

Well for one, I wish I could tell people no when they ask me to social events without being interpreted as an asshole

As someone who used to be obsessed with Jordan Peterson and had a similar 180 transformation, this is super familiar to me. I remember speaking up at work against critical race theory in a meeting. I look back on that now with huge embarrassment of who I used to be. I was actively working against the things that I stand for now. I'm super grateful to breadtube creators for pulling me out. I still have friends in my life who are like this and I can't seem to break them out. All I can do is try to be a better example

Hi, I'm sorting by hot and still seeing posts from yesterday. Whereas with my lemmy.ml account I see up to date posts. Is anyone else experiencing problems? I've already tried logging out and back in.

Damn as a neurotypical person reading this it blows my mind. Yes, my habits are absolutely automatic, to the point I daydream through them. Am I just misunderstanding something or are you saying every adhd person struggles to form habits?

At our weekly stand up my boss always says he's working on "HR stuff". I only ever see or hear from him in team meetings. Wtf do these people even do that justifies their high salaries?

I used to have a high barrier of thought prior to posting but now I just post whatever bullshit is on my mind at that moment just so I can keep threads active. Like I'm doing now

Now on top of my workload, which is already insane, I'm expected to set and meet personal goals by some arbitrary deadline? This shit is so condescending. I'm an adult, being paid to exchange my time and work for a salary. I don't need to be treated like a child and made to complete these homework assignments to prove my growth within the company. Anyone else dealing with this shit right now?
