Have people always been this fucking retarded, or it just a post-COVID thing?

is it really that hard to make some small talk you fucking autists? You act creepy as fuck then wonder why no one likes you.

>>81606032
I'm not there for 'small talk,' I'm there to work. You think I can pay my bills, loans, and such with small talk? No, my Speech skill-tree is not quite level 100. Make money, not friends.* I honestly don't know how people have such a hard time understanding this.
>*and your coworkers are absolutely NOT your 'friends'

Yeah, it's always been like that. Most dudes just wanna shoot the shit and pal around instead of work, it's really common in factories. Dont worry anon your bosses like you and that's all that matters at work, you're fine

>>81606061
But is it really that hard to say 'hey what's up?' once in a while and answer the same question back. Fuck no one is expecting friends but sometimes shooting the shit makes the day go by faster.

I'm no bootlicker, but I DO understand the importance of working like you want to stay employed.

yeah, a significant chunk of academic life includes collaboration, mentorship, presentation, and other positive interactions. tenure is awarded based on your ability to essentially be a contributing member to the scientific community, intellectually and socially. there is a real negative career impact if you're a PI who doesn't go above and beyond for their students.
and a lot of the most important networking you'll do is at a shitty local bar after a conference. academics tend to love talking about the research they do. they /profess/, anon. just showing up, crunching numbers, and leaving is abandoning like two-thirds of the academic life. I'm saying this as a physicist, even the spergs make an effort and it pays off.
>>81606210
>English teacher
not what I meant by academic

work is an extension of high school for most normies

I worked in a warehouse where all the 50 year old office women would have catfights every day

work isnt high school - you actually have to work because results depend on it.

people treating work like it's high school are so dumb. of course being social is important, it is part of job performance.

>>81606237
Typical autistic black and white either or thinking. You can do both, it isn't hard to chat a little and still do your work.

>>81606268
prestige and audience are basically governed solely based on who knows what you know. everything is recommendation-based and networking. a middling grad student could get a postdoc at harvard just by asking the right people the right questions. a huge part of my career was made possible by going to a weekend send-off party for a grad student in my undergrad lab.
really, if this isn't the case for you anon you're probably just as well off being replaced by some automaton...

>go to work
>do work
this somehow confuses and enrages the normalnigger

>>81606303
who says i dont chat with my coworkers? i dont chat with ALL of them.

I small talk with my coworkers but I'm bad at it so they hate me anyway. You can't win with normalfags.

>>81606356
The idea is to do as little work as you can while still being paid, especially as a wagie. You still making 10 bucks/hr and taking home the same check if you stock 10 shelves during your shift or 20. No one likes a kissass tryhard that makes them all look better and you better not be a bootlicker. yes sir mr goldstein sir ima work extra hard for you today yes sir I will.

>>81606032
I work at a distribution center where most of the other people I interact with are truck drivers. You could probably count on one hand the number of them who would fall on the right side of the bell curve. One co-worker, one I have to spend a ton of time with, is the most profoundly stupid person I've ever encountered, and he likes to fart loudly and make sex jokes. It is not possible for a person with a normal brain to have a conversation with these subhumans. I try to show up, do my work, and leave.

>>81606396
i could never imagine thinking like this. when i do something i'm going to do it right, half assing everything just because you can is undignified and quite frankly brown

>>81606015 (OP)
Beyond the positive reasons safe to talk about in polite company, interacting with others is a good way to get an early warning on threats to you, whether it's the office pariahs and/or rival faction cooking something up or an incoming layoff wave. If you willfully ignore actionable intelligence, don't be surprised if you get pearl harbored x 9/11'd professionally.

Guys, the trick is to give vague answers to whatever your co-worker is asking, then turn the question back around on them and let them prattle on about themselves for a few minutes. People love talking about themselves and if you let them do so in their presence, you're "a good listener" and "supportive" instead of "antisocial" and "an active detriment to the workplace environment"

>>81606449
Excellent advice. It's also helpful to get them too comfortable so they drop their guard and say something you can use against them later on. This isn't even unusual anymore. Zoomers have been doing this since grade school to each other, even going as far as keeping spreadsheets of un-woke infractions to use against their classmates. If you're not doing this, you're behind fr fr no cap OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a lot of bullshit circlejerking and not much actual work being done. Academia should be either teaching or researching not networking and pointless meetings.

>>81606424
If you are working for yourself sure, but also take into consideration that if you give 100% once that is the new minimum they will expect. Say one day you go in not feeling good, sick, distracted,whatever and you only can give 80% well your manager is going be on your ass about it. Meanwhile if you give 50% all the time you have leeway.

>they're laughing AT me, not with
>I'm the ass-end of everyone's jokes, no matter how unprofessional and offensive
>they're even talking to their friends and family about me negatively
Even worse is when they all started using my dreams, goals, and aspirations against me. The worse offenders are gone (terminated, quit, relocated, died, etc), but there are certainly stragglers as well as even new-hires talking shit.

>>81606548
This is the easiest to find article on nu-google. There were quite a few more cases that have been buried dating from before the pandemic. But the point still stands: this is being done, and is normalized among an entire generation that are now entering the workforce. You can't say you weren't warned now.

>>81606470

This is one teenager amongst the thousands of them who behave just like incels here, just like you, like they're lurking on /pol/ on their free time.
You are detached from what goes around in schools. This is why you think wokism is everywhere, when it's not nearly spread enough and that's bad. It means more right wingers like you get to be racist and homophobic at school

>>81606477
In their own words they expect 110% which doesn't make sense if you think about it so fuck thinking. Fuck people as hard as you can unexpectedly for no reason in the most creative ways you can possibly premeditate, but don't ever let them find out it was you. That seems to be the operative mode in the work place.
>>81606489
it might sound cringe, but it is actually becoming necessary. Everything you do is documented selectively by forces out of your control, so if you aren't doing the same thing then you're fucked. Reality is slippery and people are slimy as fuck.

This is the reality at hand. Your delusion is thinking that culture war is leaning left in schools, when that's not true. Schools are still controlled by conservatives who think just like you

There's not a single serious job where people can't look past you being 'rude' if you've done what you are supposes to be doing

If you can't clock in and out withoit saying a worth with you work in time, i'm sorry to tell you this but your 'pay' and 'prestige' is just a daycare for grown women

>>81606593
Any time someone even posts something slightly controversial into the department chat I screenshot and document it. Doesn't even have to be ultra-spicy, just mild jalapeno tier is enough. Sure I might not need to drop the hammer on the fucktard rn, but it might be necessary later on, say if he wants to move against me. It becomes a lot harder to bitch about me to the manniggers if he's too busy trying to explain to them + HR why he's using alt-right frog and tradgirl maymays with a well-established history of use on alt-right neo-nazi incel spaces.

Of course I am only advocating for using these tactics in ethical pro-active self-defense.

>>81606606
>none of that happened
First off, how in the FUCK are you going to tell me? Secondly, it *did* happen, and not just on a few occasions. You ever had a supervisor question your sexuality openly and almost daily? Or how about coworkers (and supervisors) constantly questioning your intelligence when it's quite obvious most of them built their blocks a little 'differently' growing up? At one point, I even had a supervisor AND the then-ops manager try to coerce me into staying overtime when I didn't have to, citing that I (apparently) had "nothing else to do outside of work" simply because I'm unmarried, don't have kids, and live alone. These are just among the few things that've turned me away from 'opening up' to these drooling trogs, and that was even BEFORE the Pandemic...which, thankfully, took out quite a few of them.
>they wanted to be your friend
No, they wanted a verbal punching bag/pin cushion, and I wouldn't give them one. Supervisor asking me to add him on Xbox Live or PSN...and for what? Just so he and his goofy friends could say the shit online that they couldn't on the work floor.

>>81606634
You don't get it, do you? I don't give a fuck who wins or loses the culture war, as long as I come out on top. If a ton of (figurative) loaded weapons are being left around, it would be foolish not to use them, no?

like. i dont talk to women at work because:

they are way above my league
or
they are busted

there is ONE chill chick at work who reminds me of Daria, i enjoy talking with her but i know she is out of my league too. not that i would ever make a move on any coworker, fuck that

>>81606651
>Talking about schools
>Change the topic to something else
Adolescents in school can be as vile as incels on /pol/ and bullying runs wild and rampant

>>81606708
im open to chatting with coworkers who are women. i just dont approach them unless it's work related or they are chill like Daria at work. there's having a stimulating conversation and then there's trying to force one for the sake of appearing social.

im sure the women i find ugly get pissed because i just dont bother with them but i dont care what they think. im not their entertainer, they can go home to their man and play with him

>>81606757
oh my god, leave me be.

>>81606758
men can be (and usually are) just as insufferable, vapid, vain, and overall uninteresting as women. As such, I don't care for them either. Plus, the practice of 'bug chasing' should be more than enough to convince anyone that it's not a sustainable lifestyle long-term.

>>81606772
You sound like the most vapid person ever, for whom nobody is good enough. For this thread alone you come across as insufferable.
You really should consider coming out though, and stop repressing your homosexuality

>>81606708
its not even that. its about respect. i respect their space, their work. i understand other guys are much more fun and social and better at having conversations with women. but that's not me, except with nerdy girls.

we're here to work and earn our paycheck, it's not a social club. though there's a social club element, it's really not for everyone, and the social butterflies need their space too. i understand all that which is why i focus on my work first.

>>81606787
It's not about being 'good enough;' that, again, doesn't pay my bills. My work output does, and I can't understand why I apparently deserved to be quartered for actually doing what I'm paid to do.

>>81606791
And they don't want to unjustifiably off you? Must be nice.

>>81606742

Who says I'm complaining about wokism? It's just the white collar method to eliminate competition. If your area is more conservative, then learn the MAGA equivalents.

>>81606671
>they wanted a verbal punching bag/pin cushion,
They wanted to include you in the gang, and your insecurities didn't let you. You couldn't handle the banter, you couldn't bite back, you took it to the heart. So you did everything wrong.
>Supervisor tried to bridge the gap
>and you avoided him. This is why people think you're weird. You are seeking isolation out of fear. You can't own up to your perceived flaws, you are immensely ashamed of them, and it shows.
You're also sound so very conceited, it's like a poor coping mechanism

>>81606806
lol he's never going to do that since it means he'd have media he disagrees with taint his virgin eyeballs.

>>81606803
>My work output does
Not true unless your work is tracked accurately via software or surveillance, in which case only spoofing works and could land you in trouble. If work output correlated with pay ... I was about to provide an example, but I can't even conceive of a world where that makes sense. Depends on job and type of work but I haven't ever actually seen that to be the case.

>>81606803
im not worth the trouble of messing with, people will learn. not that the target hasnt been on my back, it has, but i always throw it back in their ugly face.

>>81606845
If you're actually worried about output, performance, and hard work metrics, then you unironically don't have a career. You're a work-bitch, a wage slave, who will never be anything more than the lowest tier labor unit.

>>81606803
>and I can't understand why I apparently deserved to be quartered
Because you are unfriendly, insecure and at the same time arrogant, distant and cold.

>>81606032
It is actually.
My brain just goes into freeze mode whenever I feel like I should talk about something

>>81606863
NTA, but there's nothing wrong with being on the bottom rung at a good company. as i said in the BNW thread, grunts get a seat at the (separate) table, but we are still inside the castle.

>>81606883
Yeah there is, because you're never going to get paid enough to live, and you're at the mercy of whatever games the manniggers play.

>>81606832
You seem to forget that there are things a lowly part-time worker can't say/do that a supervisor *can.*
>conceited
Sorry for not being a likeable idiot.

>>81606845
It's all tracked: our loading averages, bills per hour, freight that we damaged but didn't notate, etc. Then of course we have cameras trained on us at ALL times, which is funny when you consider how they act as if they can't see it when supervisors do things like scroll on their phones or pop in ear buds...yet they can see each of us in 4K.

>>81606856

As I said, I'm there to WORK. But, riddle me this: who is really the 'villain' here? The one who clocks in, minds his business, does his job, and leaves, OR the gossiping busy-body in everyone's business constantly, who talks non-stop, and frequently engages in unsafe work practices (the likes of which can get people killed)?

>>81606032
i can make talk and lots of it, you just dont inspire me. thats why you're so pissed - an autist like me doesnt want anything to do with you outside of work. it insults you but i dont care

>>81606895
>I'm there to WORK
You're not a robot though. You work with people. People like to get along when possible. You run away from these interactions, leaving a bad impression that can snowball. "Why is he ignoring us? What's wrong? What is he hiding?"
Those are their thoughts.
It doesn't have to be this way if you stop being so insecure about being a closeted gay celibate

>>81606891
i live fine in my 1br rental. the truly alpha people dont play games about work, they banter. only the divas play games but IMO they are low output with big egos who focus on being "social" and moving up the ladder that way. not my problem unless you wanna force confrontation then i can play too

most r9 robots do think and act like they are better than their normal peers desu

>>81606895

Only if and when they're looking, and only from preplaced and mappable vantage points. Attention is a limited resource and can be gamed. Not without risk but safety is never guaranteed.

>>81606895
>who is really the 'villain' here?
You, who can't make friends with your coworkers because you get too sensitive about their banter and instead of confronting them about your feelings and boundaries, you recoil, bottle everything up, get resentful, and run to hide.

>>81606912
get over it. work isnt a social club. a good company is highly social but that's because the company has the luxury of success to cushion on.

>>81606932
i know who is better than me. i know who is cool, and i know who spend their time talking up the managers and can barely read their emails. so what, people are different.

>>81606938
>work isnt a social club.
It can be, though. People make it so. And they notice a loner standing out by a mile.
You could use a friend. You keep acting like you're better than your coworkers, when you're just insecure about your sexuality and incel status

>>81606912
When I tried to be 'with' them, I was outcast. When I tried to 'open up' to them, I was shut down. Any time I've tried to communicate and 'network' with these people, I was quickly reminded why they're at a warehouse at these various stages in their lives. Understand, I know it's not everyone all the time, but in general:
>people suck
you owe it to yourself not to try being a people-pleaser. That goes especially to people who seem to have a vested interest in putting YOU down in order to elevate themselves.

>>81606934

You're right: you're not a problem because someone with your decades old thought process can be steamrolled in a lunch break.

>>81606895
>Sorry for not being a likeable idiot
Yeah, you're just being an idiot, period.
If your coworkers are being mean to you, you have to bite back otherwise they'll keep digging you out until they get something out of you.

>>81606936
>>81606966
And I don't need to 'run and hide' from these people. Come to think of it, despite their constant whining about me apparently not talking to them enough (for their liking), they don't seem to bother engaging me either.

>>81606032
I have zero in common with you retards.
Zero! Not ideological, political and not even hobbys.
Why would i bother to fake a persona for people i dont even rwspect outside of work?

>>81606966
Can you make friends anywhere?
Work is all about interpersonal relationships. Getting along is part of the job. Your refusal to make friends over there shows a darker side of your personality: the misanthrope. It's not a good look

>>81606970

>Why would i bother to fake
If you were a nice person, you wouldn't have to fake.
But it's clear that you're not that nice. It sounds like you're a cunt actually, who thinks you're so much better than everyone else

see, i genuinely respect the Stacies at work. not only are they model tier in looks, they dont expect attention and they are very good at their job. i respect it.

the ugly bitches though? always whining, always complaining, always trying to suck up to senior members and its like bitch, you are so transparent but you think you're some mastermind. that's cute but listen we gotta work here

>>81606983
You're forgetting nowadays that there's a shitload they can do to you since you're throwing up tons of signs that you're planning a mass shooting. And now it's a national security/violent crime concern, so they can, will, and are encouraged to sick the cops onto you "just in case". Some states' red flag laws (literally legalized, streamlined SWATting) allow coworkers to directly make the report, if not then there's just squaling to the cops who will rubber stamp it anyways. I doubt your job pays you enough for the lawyer needed just to clean up this very preventable mess.

>>81607018
no, hoe, that's your ugly ass. and you're mad because you dont get attention.

what are you like when you do want to make friends?

>>81607029
see thats what im talking about - ugly bitches always make up the wildest shit for attention. if they can put someone else down, it can elevate their pitiful "status" for a few minutes but its some huge W in their book. bitches like that are NOT working. i dont respect you, im not gonna make small talk with you.

It's been eight years; if I were going to do something like that, I figure they'd know I would have done so by now (gun laws are pretty flimsy here...which is great). Still though, these people aren't worth the ammunition. That, and I still have other things I want to do with my life, rather than throw it away 'going postal.'

>Still though, these people aren't worth the ammunition

Ooooohhhhh, very interesting

like these ugly bitches bring their man hating issue to work.

where as the Stacies do their job, are good and on par with the finance chads at it, and theyre always up for a brief greeting.

i go by the Chad and Stacey code, and not the ugly bitch who needs attention and makes drama, i avoid that bitch

>>81607079
Fuck ever; they got nothing on me.

>>81607053
People respect losers that get themselves fired for stupid shit even less.

>>81607069
bring it. i am comfortable with my loser status. but you are seething that i wont talk to you, me, the office loser. go start drama with your "boyfriend"

>>81607097
bring it. i can defend myself but lets see if you can handle what i have to say about you.

>>81607044
I'm in my mid-30s; I no longer want to.

nasty man hating bitch who thinks reading her emails and making a phone call is a full day's work.

i dont have time to chat your boring, ugly ass up. i have to create profits.

>>81606015 (OP)
This is why I work in a car factory.

The temperature is 110 F, the culture is dehumanizing, and socialites get fired.

>>81607056
OP is talking about themselves dummy.

i hate that dumb bitch. i dont think she does any work except sucking up to the senior roles. she does her little dance but picks fights with me because her life is a mess and i dont want anything to do with her. i see that shit from thousands of miles away.

>>81607172
>The temperature is 110 F, the culture is dehumanizing
Same as me, but the socialites AREN'T fired.

i respect women who do their work and do it well. i know who they are, and i know who they arent.

Well, this has been a great thread if I do say so myself. I'm now going to go meditate, and get ready to deal with these bullshit coworkers AGAIN in 14 or so hours.

>>81606015 (OP)
I spend my breaks by sitting next to my coworkers but looking out the window, neither of us acknowledging the other.

>>81606912
People like them should be killed.

like this bitch all she does is open the mail, scan the mail, send mail, and upload the files where it needs to go.

she used to prepare covers for our reports but now she doesn't even want to do that. and that's fine, she actually fucking sucks at making the covers and it's better if i do it.

she made a big deal about pushing the cover work to me and i just did what is supposed to be her job because it's braindead. and the cover's are quite important and she wasn't doing those right either. so it all backfired on her when i did it all and cc'd my director

>>81606994
eeermm, it is NOT a good look! yikes!

what a dumb, fucking nasty bitch. she is fooling no one with her attempts at power games.

>>81607285
imagine some bitch preparing the cover, and leaving out important information blank because she has no idea of the finance reports we do, and she just auto checks the wrong thing because it's a vague catch all. and imagine her training other workers in the same, stupid, wrong way but we just let it go even though a badly prepared cover creates a bad first impression on the person who recieves our reports.

>>81607296

>You act creepy
I'm sorry, that I have to pay very close attention to the assembly of this part of the aircarft, otherwise people will die you know... Or while overseeing a robot creating a microchip that goes into a plane or a car or a tank or a ship, because people might die, if it malfunctions and/or has defects.
>then wonder why no one likes you.
Human beings do like me. Not subhuman trash. I wouldn't even bother to open my mouth in a room full of braindead NPCs. Truly intelligent human beings are rare, but when you partake or just even hear those conversations on-topic, like a good debate, it's very satisfying.

>>81607332
god. we used to have a Stacey doing the covers, checking mail, etc, and NOTHING would go missing, everything was as it should be and she was reliable as the Sun.

she moved to another company because of the dumb bitch im talking about, Stacey wanted to be a manager and honestly she more than deserves it

This thread reminds me why I should do everything in my power to create a future that normalfags hate. More isolation. More digitization and automation of the more "human" aspects they enjoy.

its incompetence that i hate the most. but everyone makes mistakes, that's understood, but then having the gall to point fingers and start drama over it. people like that, every office has one, and most people dont bother having meaningful conversations with them.

even a simple hi, hello is enough between coworkers, it can say a lot without saying much at all.

>>81607404
wrong. that bitch is NOT a normalfag.

normals are the Chads and Stacies, the real socialites who outshine everyone else, myself included.

>>81607404
godspeed, anon. Doing the work of the God Emperor. kek.

relationships, friendships, they all happen at work, yes. but work is not an invitation to force either of those things, which is what this thread is actually about:

>the loser at work needs to play nice with the single mom with trauma issues
nope.

>>81606015 (OP)
i am hated at work. very hated. i can tell by the way they do that flat smile. the tone of their voice. how they speak to me and look at me. i've overheard people say "how can one person be so awkward" and "it's like he's scared of me". every day that i work is torturous.

>>81607470
holy shit i never thought of it this way but your greentext is actually at the very beating satanic heart of everything holy fuck

I used to work hard. My profession involves extreme and unfair risk of legal exposure. Did you know that when a client sues, they not only name the corporation, but also individuals when they feel aggrieved by? Sometimes they complaints are valid(extremely rare). 100% of the time the root cause of the problem is the person who initiated the lawsuit(medical field, retard was retarded, got sick, then refused to do as it was told to fix health issues(we call this noncompliance)).
I have seen some patients so disgusting and subhuman they even named nurses in their batshit insane bloodlust fueled madness, sometimes they will even name aides and phlebotomists in suits. In the past they were not evil, they only sued when it was justified and only named those who wronged them.
For example; fat retard rejects all medical advice and care. Fat retard then gets what they deserve; a leg that must be amputated above the knee. The doctor by mistake cuts off the wrong leg. Yeah it sucks but it's an honest mistake. It doesn't deserve a $100,000 payout in damages. In a just world courts would order that the hospital cuts off the correct leg free of charge. And in a just world the hospital would the be allowed to blacklist the patient from ever receiving any care from any of their hospitals, urgent care centers, and regular doctor offices. What we actually see is a greedy piece of shit chooses to destroy their body despite the mountains of admonitions given and education on the matter. A doctor makes an insignificant error, cutting the wrong leg which would 100% certainty have to be cut off due to the patients batshit crazy noncompliance and obsession with self harm. Then they go on to name everyone who walked past their room in the suit, from ass wiping nurse aides to Bible thumping chaplains to nurses who do more than anyone else in a hospital trying to help people. These pieces of shit request a list of everyone who interacted with them in the hospital.
Cont.

>>81607512
They get this list and slam everyone one of them with a lawsuit. Except they suspiciously remove certain names. Aide so-and-so was nice and participated in my self harm by bringing me snacks the nurse said I couldn't have, airhead dummy nurse small talked about my pets so leave her out of the suit, janny hee-and-haw respected my request to not use any antibacterial cleaning agents when cleaning my room so exclude them.
They only sue the people trying to help them and purposely don't sue the lazy workers who contributed to the problem they are suing over.
My takeaway from this is I wasted my life studying and learning how to help people. People don't need or want help. They actively seek illness and disease, if you refuse to make them sicker they hate you for this.
As a nurse I stopped giving a shit. I don't bother educating patients. I do everything in my power not to help them. I do anything I can to hurt them and make them sicker.
>I'm tired of being npo even though I choke and die every time I put something in my 900lb mouth, I'm literally starving to death because dietary only provides 10,200 calories a day
Yes ma'am thank you ma'am, I will get you cookies and juice, turkey sandwich. Would you like some dilaudid with that juice? RN stands for refreshments and narcotics. Shall I fluff your pillow once I'm finished licking your anus?
I have stopped putting any effort into me job. Management doesn't like it but patients love me because I do bad things to them. If a suit occurs for malpractice I will be excluded. I sincerely wanted to do right but I see right and good is wrong and bad. Fuck patients, btfo their kidneys so they rely on dialysis. Heart failure heart schmailure, I want them to die drowning in their own lungs. The customer is always right. I spent money on education only to reject it. I do the exact opposite of what I was taught. Patients like me. I ask how the big sportsball game gamed and what celebrity celebritied, so coworkers like me.

>>81607512
>The doctor by mistake cuts off the wrong leg. Yeah it sucks but it's an honest mistake.
I'm sorry bro you lost me. You medical people are legit fucking insane and in a just world would be sued into nonexistence so we can just die like normal instead of getting our body parts randomly cut off. Since I'll never get my foreskin money, I'm rooting for insane people to sue you monsters to oblivion for whatever the fuck I don't care.

>>81607504
its funny, i did her job cus she kicked it back down to me. as i was writing in the information i realized that she doesn't actually understand the form.

the Stacey who used to work here did all that before and i never had to worry.

man i wrote a lot of bullshit, im sorry. this is what i mean when i say that i can hold my own. i would prefer not.

>>81607577
I'd throw my life away to fight you medical freaks if only it wouldn't get other people involved. I don't care how fat and retarded this insane patient of yours was, you don't get to cut off one of their legs and go "oops." Oh wait, yes you do, because the whole thing is a little racket where you get random bimbo bitches to make mistakes on forms. Holy fuck. This world is terrifying and insane.

>>81606015 (OP)
Personally I loved those coworkers but that's only because I'm also like this.

>>81607573
Now do you understand why any history of mental health, especially autism, is a hard filter from ever working in the medical field?

>>81607668
so bimbo nurse stacies can keep accruing fat paychecks using weird keyboards to manually medically code instead of an autist automating it?

>>81606071
>is it really that hard
YES, FUCK YOU, KILL YOURSELF, IT'S NOT MY LIFE DUTY TO BE YOUR FRIEND AND SLAVE

>>81607573
You are the only (you) I got so far, so I will take time to engage with you sincerely and in earnest. Ask any questions freely, I will elaborate. I'm familiar with the system having spent more than ten years in Healthcare. I hate medicine.
Look up the term gilded manacles. It's a horrible job, but who else will pay me $1,200 to work two days a week? I am bound here.
You say wrong leg. Do you understand how this works though? They are going to die. They are going to die because they are stupid and evil. It a year or two the leg would have to go so amputating it is not wrong even if it works perfectly fine at the time. It doesn't matter if they lose the leg they would lose at some point in the next few years.
The only person I respect in my field is someone nonmedical. They had beady close set eyes, a hook nose, and always bore a grin that gave me a sinking feeling in my stomach. A truly vile despicable individual. He was a lawyer who filed paperwork that got a woman blacklisted not only from all hospitals, he permanently removed a patients ability to receive free Healthcare for life. He got her banned from America's socialized medical system. This disgusting evil porsen was fat. Had a leg cut off. Asked for help with basic shit like taking a shit despite being in her 30s. Was given strict orders and extensive education to stop abusing her body. Yet she continued to order fucking pizza and had it sent to her hospital room. This lawyer filed papers to have her removed from Medicare and ssdi. She is probably dead now as a result of his diligence. I wish we had more like him.

>>81607697
You actually think nurses do medical coding? In america? When there is a whole certification process and board for medical coders in the USA? Nigger you don't actually work in healthcare at anything higher than maybe janigger.

>>81606419
>would fall on the right side of the bell curve
Lol retard, you call others retards but you can't even do it correctly, what you meant is the left side and clearly you're on the left side as well.

>>81607786
The autistic retards bitching about their coworkers ITT are living proof that public education in the US is a net negative. We would be better off if they were uneducated if only because they wouldn't be anywhere near jobs where important shit is on the line, ESPECIALLY medical care.

>>81607776
no I meant medical coder, obviously, but that wasn't really the point or what I was responding to
>>81607759
I have so many questions but your story contains too much evil to meaningfully and coherently engage with so I'd rather just stew in hatred. You could probably make more easy money on a saucy and provocative book than you would at your job.

>emotionally guilt trips you after a pizza party

>forced to laugh at garbage memes from their phone

i dont mind small talk at times but constantly doing so is a slippery slope to a gay workplace

>>81607824
There's a very simple explanation for this: some low level disgruntled employee working adjacent to healthcare is having a melty.

i do almost everything listed and my coworkers are completely fine with me, i've gotten zero complaints in several years. either they can sense i'm a retard and take pity on me, or are willing to put up with it because i'm relatively productive.

>>81607786
>retard doesnt understand what it means to be able to count something on one hand
He is saying there are very few of them on the right. Most embarassing post itt. Learn to read.

>>81607836
Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu read right to left though and maybe he perceives himself to be culturally superior, making him correct and even more correct to take gigantic shits on the left-to-right idiot

>You act creepy as fuck then wonder why no one likes you.
Earth to retard, "creepy" means taking an inappropriate interest in someone. It doesn't mean literally everyone you don't know.

>>81607960
And to you that is more retarded than the belligerent autist claiming cutting off the wrong leg is oopsie no big deal!!!! >>81607512?

>>81607824
I am autistic, I believe my mastery of the English language far exceeds that of the average person. If you hate medicine you'll find good company with me. But it's good money, there's lots of rules that absolutely must be followed, but those who follow rules are punished and rulebreakers fall into a barrel of shit and come out smelling like roses. My previous work history outside of medical was physical labor and sales in a tire and hose shop, then a contracted position as idk my BFF Jill type thing at the airport. Nobody knew who I or my boss was I just had to facilitate smooth operations between the hangars and the equipment used to transfer of material onto jets. Outside of 4chan no on can understand me because I speak English.
I just want to talk shit about healthcare. Patients deserve every bad thing that happens to them. Clinicians think they are good people but they are misguided. For every one good person they help they waste their time, knowledge, and skills on a thousand people who should be shot dead and left in a shallow grave.

The fact you have to brownnose and schmooze instead of just producing results is probably a sign you're in a bubble.

No. Normies are actually fucking boring. I tried talking to you fucks and all you talk about is sports, the latest thing that's happening on the news, or some celebrity that only you care about. That's why I keep it to myself.

>>81607867
>>81607836
No he's right, the true retard is me, I should've known that he meant counting one one hand implies there are very few smart people in the industry in terms of the right side of the bell curve, to which I misinterpreted by thus calling him a retard even though the true retard is myself, and thus I will now kill myself for being the biggest retard in this thread for making such a humiliating blunder.

I got bullied at a job I tried working a couple weeks ago for acting like this. I just couldn't relate to any of my co-workers because they were all loud. They were also heavily bullying another quiet guy that was literally a middle aged dad. Literally asking us why we were both so quiet like we were in Middle School as soon as we walk in the building. I didn't come back after lunch.

>>81609031
I'm kind of afraid my dad is the middle-aged dad you're talking about, obviously the chances are low that it's that exact one but the same archetype, he's hinted that he gets bullied at the workplace for wearing over the ear headphones, makes me want to go postal and shoot up his workplace, stop bullying my daddy!

>>81609031
I'm trying to think of reasons why someone would be quiet. The thing is, I think it works the other way around. Like actually, mechanically works the other way: you need a reason to speak, not to be quiet. The problem is that you need to think of something to say first. Without ANY premeditation you would just make noise. Weird. Normies are so fucking weird and insecure and worthless. Now I see why shutting the fuck up forever is actually kind of noble, and I wouldn't make any move to defend normies from having a kind of gag imposed on them.

>>81609175
Actually justifying silence paradoxically requires some kind of communication to occur. This makes verbally bullying someone for being quiet mechanically SUPER EFFECTIVE. Kind of genius, actually. Whatever justification anyone had for their own silence would itself be impossible to communicate. Normies are brutal and savage instinctual predators to take advantage of this.

>>81606015 (OP)

It is inappropriate to jeer that at somebody in front of a crowd. I have been in other workspaces that were respectful. I knew that I couldn't tolerate that. Maybe you just have lower self-respect than me.

It's worse when you're a handsome avoidant schizoid.

They never talk to me again usually. The guys usually just give looks of condescension.

>>81610341
As you have said in your own way, and as many others in this thread come to the same conclusion, I just want to say that this is how all of these threads end all the time.
I think the topic OP posted is interesting, but at the end of the day there is only one real answer, an answer when you realize it and say it normies just stop replying to you because that is the end point.

Normies are weak. Thats the answer.
They arent just weak, they want to be weak.
They do not want to take control of their emotions or thoughts. If the hivemind can exists, then its good in their opinion, and its right.
Can I follow the group? Ok, do they accept me and can I use their points? Ok, done.
The group is now right, and every bigger group in the future is more right.
The end.

This is how they think because they are weak.

>>81606015 (OP)
I got laid off work 2 weeks ago because of a bad performance review. this review was made by my coworkers at the new project that I was working on. I was new on the project and didn't really write a lot in the group chats and still tired to figure out the new systems because nobody gave a shit about my onboarding.
those fuckers completely tanked my review to the point that the manager said that this was the worst review he's ever seen. in calls they were all so nice and friendly but hidden behind anonymity they really showed themselves.
they did not like the fact that I wasn't 100% applying myself on the project and they were regular fuckin infantry workers, not shareholders or managers. absolute fuckin slave mentality. some of the people there used to do weekly unpaid overtime because the managers promised a lot of impossible shit to the clients.
fuckin hate the corporate environment. felt nothing but relief when I left that building for the last time. would much rather work as a plumber than spend another day with those cum guzzlers.

The real reason I keep my opinions and words to myself is ultimately. The environment around me has proven to not actually desire them and are only looking for weak points for social warfare.

They don't like it because it cucks them out of what they are good at.
