Dear work colleagues, you know you could just ask me to change something small instead of telling the manager (hexbear.net)

Seriously it's often the tiniest little thing, like the margins are 2mm too small or a spreadsheet was filled in a certain method. I've had convos with teachers where I ask them "hey do you mind if I do it slightly differently", they go "OK", and then 10 minutes later a manager comes and asks me to do it the original way. Like fine, but why the fuck didn't the original teacher just ask me. I'm the most gentle and flexible person I know, I literally haven't had an loud argument at work since I before 2000. I'm not gonna have it out over this issue with you.

How the fuck is telling the manager not considered snitching with some people?

The corporate office environment is a hive of sociopathy, it’s western socialization dialed up to 11.

Literally everyone smiling through their teeth ready to back stab you to rob you of your livelihood at the most opportune moment.

It's genuinely a nightmare. I naively tried to build solidarity and camadaerie with mine and it was one of the dumbest things I've ever done

Everytime I show humility or try to be genuine, I feel like I’ve just dug my own grave. These people live their lives like this, I can’t believe it.
