Dealing with the boomers/gen x.......I swear some days I just want to say f*** it and head down to my mom’s basement and become an influencer.

Worked this job at an office this summer as an intern it was a nice place, but these idiot old timers got mad and told me I can’t spend my whole day playing on my phone and doing nothing while getting paid a six figure salary so I quit and made a reddit post about it on anti-work.

I was gonna say this HAS to be a mock thread.

I'll throw this out there before my IBTL and just say I know a 22yr old girl (American girl mind you) with a stronger work ethic than most people I know regardless of age. Rare indeed but it gives me a tiny bit of hope for the future. My kids are 7 and 5.

Anyhow IBTL. Goddamn insomnia.

If you had a 6 figure job you'd likely know that the past tense of pay is paid, not payed.

Thank you for that.

It’s not terribly uncommon, I know a lot of folks in that age range who have their own moderately successful small businesses but they’re definitely outliers.

Oh man I've met a bunch of interns like you. Keep up the good work and you'll probably end up in management. Hang in there! You're special and deserve it!

Don't take the abuse and micro aggressions. I hope they had a safe space room with puppies and a warm blankie anyway.

Unless he's an engineer. Then he'd get extra for that.

It took me a hot second to realize I read the thread title backwards.

What is truly shocking is Office Space came out in 1999. The seeds to bad workers and bad somehow-got-promoted management were there 26 years ago.

They have a nursing room here at my office that I use as my safe space. Unfortunately there are never any nursing women in it when I’m there. Is that creepy? I don’t think so.

Better to have a room for it than the woman who was doing that on the Acela in front of me before. Then again why just let women get to do it, if as they claim, men can now get pregnant, seize the opportunity, you could be the first man nursing there.

Why is this in General Discussion? Should be off topic

Yeah. Because a woman breastfeeding in public is almost as bad as a homeless guy taking a dump in the corner outside Dunkins. ??????

I think you're wrong on that one. It's still not very appropriate though.

But if she was rubbing them down and dancing around one of the safety poles, that would be AOK.

Well, that would depend on whether it was a Day Shifter or not.......
