Why do women keep remarking that I’m quiet at work?

[010101]

ultimately many people just want to run their mouths

the secret is to just let them

most y'all problem ain't being quiet it's the fact y'all whole vibe is repulsive

What if “master” is black?

I don’t think that your bamboozled imagery would still work. What’s more revealing is that your little quip gives insight into the pitiful way that you think. You still equate white people with being “masters”. I don’t.

Such low level thinking is the mark of a cog for sure because you can’t even see yourself, the black man, as the “master”.

Why quote me and you not read anything that I wrote? This is the first sentence that I posted in this thread.



In what bizarre world do you equate “tapdancing” to having social skills? This has nothing to do with white people and doesn’t just apply to a job. My point to the OP was to fully develop his social capabilities because they can be leveraged in a way that can make up for any technical deficiencies that he may have and still get him ahead. That’s why it’s considered a skill. And skills help you win.

I really do not understand how many brehs can spend innumerable hours developing strategies to win video games but won’t dedicate any modicum of time to develop strategies to get you ahead in real life. Hustle backwards brehs....

You see how you twisted my use of the word master to make it fit a view or argument to benefit your insecurities? this is exactly why insignificant small talk is dangerous in the work place. Now you'll be the ass hole running around the office telling everybody in your gossip group how Pcpking think white folks are my master. Lol..

Black folk usually seen as the “entertainment” aka tapdancers at work. We always gotta be the loudest and always in the middle of work drama. Or you got homo flamboyant nikkas always “yassing” nshyt

We arent ever taken seriously. We always supposed to be on playtime

Black men are expected to be extroverts and act like

And it sure as hell don't help matters when there's cats there that act like that gif either
A few of us were using the bathroom on break, and the goofy ass resident tap dancer walks in with going " TOOT TOOT!!! " We looking at dude like Who does that wack ass toot toot shyt in a bathroom full of dudes

 

[panopticon]

Never understood this bullshyt.

It's even worse in the white-collar world.

Some loudmouth rambling on about whatever the fukk and I'm thinkin to myself...yo...why are you telling me all this personal business of yours?
I wanna tell em yo, you complain about having to work so many hours...you ever think that shutting the fukk up might get you out the office before 8pm??

I swear to God these people waste damn near 4 hours a day just bullshyting about their lives to coworkers...meanwhile they're all in competition with one another to get that promotion, and would stab the other in the back in a fukking heartbeat for an extra $500

But I just gotta nod and smile. Randomly interject with a "that's crazy" or a "wow, that's tough"

Otherwise I'd be fukking up my money...that "we aren't sure if you're a team player" conversation during my annual review

I need that performance bonus brehs

 

[MaxBundles]

I feel like if a young black male isn’t all extra and being the “entertainment” for people he’s automatically labeled “quiet” which is unfair. We can never just sit back and mind our damn business

Story of my fukking life

 

[l3lackstarr]

I can cosign that actually. I'm always the quiet one.. even if ive been there a long time. I don't have any interest in communicating more than I need with coworkers. Unfortunately it doesn't stop them from telling me all their business and deep dark secrets tho

The op didn't mention not one race, age range, just women in the post. It could be black bytches bothering him for all I know. The bytches that spend alot of time at work are bored and looking for anything to entertain them.

They will try prying into your personal life and nitpick all that shyt, nothing more or less. If you come off as enigmatic like myself, they can't resist trying to figure you out.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Women who usually ask that low key want to fukk. bytch at a restaurant I use to work at said that. Also said she wanted to know everything about me Long story short she didn’t know everything but two nights later she know how this dikk felt in them guts

 

[philmonroe]

y'all sound miserable misanthropic & unpleasant jajajahahahaa

you can be reserved & still up your social status

i got the quiet comments my whole.life as well

but i also always been good at steering conversations toward a meaningful purpose

no need for clowning or small.talk on my end

i most often end up the individual in the group everyone confesses their secrets to & seeks out for advice

all the while not being a long.talker

The funny thing about these threads to me is cats say they anti social but got all the online yaps though. Cats know everything online but IRL mouths shut like the tinman without oil.

When I posted my shyt on the first page, I thought that's what OP was talmbout....nothing but black folks at my job, and much more women than men which is crazy since its a driving gig....

It might be a lil networking going on, but 9 times out of 10 they just trying to find out who you fukking. Which is why I don't speak on my shyt much. Now I'm the grand master of small talk, got that shyt down to a science but they be legit asking if you married, got kids, got a girl, shyt one even asked if I was into open relationships. They nosy as hell.

so I’ve been working at Best Buy for about a month and today my manager remarked “you know you don’t speak much”
Before I’ve worked in a flower shop and an outback steak house and I’ve heard the same thing (varied delivery) about 2-3 times in each of those places. Other men don’t make that remark for the most part, if anything they just joke around with me and I speak up. I don’t really see the point in talking often at work. I don’t get paid much anyway and I’m just part time so talk feels pretty cheap to me in that environment. Not a sociopath tho, but I’d rather keep to myself, easier to focus.
Is this a common thing where you guys work or have worked? Does silence from a man make women uncomfortable? I’m Curious cause women only really ever point out my quietness on the job.

You know what props to you for working and not being a bum but the site of a black man working in a flower shop makes me laugh lol. What your homeboys say about this?

It's a couple of things. You work in a outdated culture. Where people come to work share all their personal business laugh and joke all the time. I had that issue at one of my previous jobs. I tell them I come to work, to well work. I have a normal social life. I further explained that some people don't get enough attention outside of work and that they come to work for their social life. Them cacs were 38 when I said that.

It's the old political game. Lots of jobs base promotions off of how "likable" you are vs how well you do your job. Why do you think so many jobs are so fukked up structurally? That's why all my promotions come from just getting a higher position at another place of work. Don't nobody got time to be entertaining these corny ass people at work.

I suggest that you keep doing what you are doing. I never heard of anybody of getting fired for being quiet.

 

[jwonder]

A black man being reserved = threatening to them.

Please Explain.I'd like to hear the craziness these people think.
