Weirdos in here

Just greet and keep it moving. Not that serious.

Even non coworkers in the building I'll say hello if they are open to interaction. You can tell by their vibe. Always talked to this dude about football and come to find out he's the CEO of another non profit in my building. They provide scholarships for college students and he said when my son goes to college to send him an email.

Gotta interact with people to network.

I say it in a monotone way. or when they tell me good morning I respond with a "yeah" walk past them

 

[Rusty$hackleford]

I be trolling this b1tch at work who takes herself too seriously or maybe she had a traumatic childhood experience with men.

Either way, i dont care
Everybody leaves her alone except me. One time I noticed she didnt wanna get in the elevator with me. I was like, let the games begin
I think I finally broke her or not

Anyway If I die today, she is gonna be the #1 suspect.

Lol, I got one of those too. I think she's a spinster in training. She the type to look at the wall when passing thru halls, management treats her with kid gloves. Id be interested in hearing more of your techniques.

You’re missing the point. Of course you greet and speak to peripheral and important people in your workplace. However, there are those that have done funny style shyt to you and you may not wanna to engage unless it involves the job

I’ve always stood by not engaging in fake pleasantries w/ people you obviously don’t like or get along with. Many associates have told me it’s “unprofessional”, especially as a black male, where they’ll critique anything you do or don’t. However, I’ve always maintained a professional disposition , never been outright disrespectful to said individuals...I just prefer not to engage unless it’s regarding the job. Apparently my friends were right in that these cacs tried to undermine/reprimand me every chance they got. Cacs will start to malfunction if a black man minds his own business and can perform the job light years better than them. It came to a point where I had to find a new position elsewhere because the bullying and constant undercutting became too much to bare. All because I refused to say “good morning” to a few fake, disingenuous cacs. I’ve been at my new position for a few months now and I haven’t had any of these issues yet but I’m assuming they’ll resurface once the novelty wears off. What’s your take on “professionalism” in the workplace?

Breh you can't do that dont fukk up your paper to "keep it real" smile in these cats face and turn it around them. If you can't stand them look for a new job while you are still at this job. A new job may take a year but looking for a job while you have one is easier than looking for one if you don't have one.

Yeah I wonder what kind of jobs a lot of the people giving advice in here have. They probably still entry level wondering why the hell they can't get a promotion and blaming it on racists or other bullshyt. At the very least you have to keep shyt cordial.

I understand the frustration though. Part of the reason I left the office and started working from home was due to being tired of having to make small talk with a bunch of people that knew I didn't fukk with them. fukked up part was that I was above all of them in stature but I know it keep your position and to get promoted you got to keep shyt right with those above and below you. But I ain't a fake person and having to fake it day in and day out was draining on me mentally so knew I either had to quit or start working from home so gave the company those options.

 

[Amor fati]

Nope I usually ignore, though if I'm feeling really good then I will greet.

 

[MajesticLion]

How many people require their morning coffee fix before they can talk to anybody?

Sure.

There are people in my office I'm not interested in shooting the shyt with but I will say 'good morning' if I happen to be in the elevator with them or in the kitchen. That's it. No chit chat.

There are also people in my office now that have the same mentality as some of the weirdos in here and don't say shyt. These people I've greeted before multiple times and they don't answer so I just ignore them now

These people never move up

If it ain't women I'm attracted to or a dude I'm specifically cool with what's the point in me interacting with fake pleasantries ? I will say if someone does say something to me I will give the generic "what's going on". Its the older generation who still trips off this within this society, the younger crowd don't really care as f-2-f communication is at all time low anyway.​
