The amount of times I've been shamed for not doing non-work stuff with my team is actually insane. Then finally I cave and do karaoke, and they haven't stopped making fun of me for it since. You can't win no matter what you do. If they detect you have a soul, literally nothing you do or do not do will be correct or enough in their eyes. Socialized normies are sadists.

>>223027581

This consideration is obvious. The more subtle mind conceives of the following: because the hypothetical is situated around the turn of the milennium, just before such nonsense became "mandatory" (much of it didn't yet exist just yet), it is quite feasible to imagine that an otherwise competent new hire fell through the cracks (thus being hired on) without this check being performed. Then a year or two passes, he naturally bristles at all the stuff in the OP, and then eventually when confronted he just says what I just said.

Of course, he is promptly ousted, or ostracized until he just quits, which is what everyone really wants, including him. But the real point here is that on the way out, he is in a position to break the normie's brain with something that she cannot conceive of.

its manufactured and intentional corporate culture to socialize you into the company and make you feel that your job is more than your job, its your life.

the reason these big CEOs balk at the work/life ratio question is because they dont want people asking the question at all because youre supposed to see your work *as* your life and not something you have to do separate from your life

people with no social life spend more time at the company and do work outside of hours/unpaid overtime and everything else much easier.

people with a life have dignity and self respect and ask for things like days off when their child is sick and to leave early to go to their baseball game or whatever. cant be having that

of course the irony is that the company itself is less attached to its own workers than ever before and ends up with offices full of incompetent drone retards because no-one with actual talent or demand is staying with a company because they have an in office arcade machine (that youre never allowed to actually use because "dont you have work to be doing"?)

tl;dr: its all retard bait

whats the ideal job for an antisocial with no qualifications? librarian? museum guard?

>>223027861
to add, this is also a reason boomer CEO types hate the idea of remote work. how are they supposed to literally brainwash you into thinking the company is your personal friend when you dont even have to come to the office?

>>223026597
>>223027637
This is being overly-social, there used to be a middle ground but it's been taken from us.
These "exercises" are exclusively the fault of women. None of was happening to this degree until HR started accumulating disproportionate power in the workplace, because as companies expanded in workers, so had the people mediators to too. Given that the former side is technically diverse and thus atomized, and the other is one huge monolith of extroverted drones, and has unilateral sway to dictate the terms of your stay, the extroversion became the expected norm and failure to comply independently of objective technical merit became accepted. Basically a corporate mafia that rooted itself into the upper echelons of hierarchy only thanks to the merits of the hard work of educated white men who provided the financial situation that begat us this.

well OP's movie and that whole trend from the late 90s were all about lamenting that your job wasn't more than your job so we got what "we" asked for I guess. What I don't get is why this was a Gen X hangup but millennials were the ones to materialize the alegria dystopia. Perhaps older Gen X raised to become CEOs?

>>223027861
>make you feel that your job is more than your job, its your life.
I don't think it's exactly that, more that a generation of bubble-drunk boomer ceos started seeing their sales lines plateauing because of an inevitable innovation contraction and competitors catching on, and instead of jacking up pay (which honestly wouldn't have done much for their bottom lines) they instead look for marginal productivity gains in teambuilding and such, essentially a hail mary by an out of touch managerial class that stuck because of sunk cost.

>>223028169
The shitbull apoligia is insane as well. Ive seen people walking around with them acting like they're any other dog. I can only imagine the types of people who bring them into offices and shops as
"emotional support animals". Probably women who cannot under any circumstance control them if they did so much as tug at the lead. They should be put down along with their inbred mutts.

>>223026597
For normies life never evolves beyond high school cliquey drama bullshit. They'll be in an old person's home doing the exact same shit. Cheating, fucking, lying, manipulating.

the only "team building" type activity that iver ever seen that worked at all and that i actually liked was just having a movie play on some tv during the work day and you could talk about it and riff with your co-workers since youre all watching it

you could pick movies that you wanted to show people and during free time you could just look over and watch some instead of just staring at your screen or checking your email that you know doesnt have any new emails

but this wont work for a medium to large company because 90% of movies will have some form of wrong think or something inappropriate in them but my boss dropped nigger bombs for fun so it was never an issue

>>223028342

Thankfully I am in a large office with only 2 other people. There's another department in the next office with no separation that are loud but it's not too bad. The 2 people that sit near me are not doing the same job and we rarely have anything we need to work on together. They are separated 10-15ft from me which is fantastic.

I don't need to speak to many people daily, my boss is in another country and we have a 10 min meeting every week. Apparently I'm known as the guy who doesn't speak to anyone, but I do say morning or hi to people like in the kitchen or whatever, I'm just not interested in a full conversation.

Yes I'm anti-social but it's because the more time I spent with people the more horrible I found it.

As someone who made it and escaped this shit, this is all part of the humiliation ritual of being a modern slave. People like me do fun shit for the sake of doing fun shit. Part of what makes it fun is the sheer freedom of it. It’s the lack of even accidental optimization metrics applied to the event. There’s no multi-level calculations of reactions to reactions required about what happens if you wear a blue shirt rather than a black shirt. It’s all just natural and laid back as Hell. Those “sanctioned fun” events are like a robot trying to manage a zoo of humans. It’s all artificial and it’s used to subtly remind you that “we even program your fun for you…we define what is fun if you don’t have fun now that we have ordered you to do so then there is something wrong with you.” It’s a roundabout way to enforce compliance and break your spirit. It’s like going “axe throwing” or other goofy dumb girlshit ideas, but at an organizational level.

why? because hazing actually works for building loyalty to your group. its why its basically existed for all human civilization and still does now. the mechanics of why it works arent even important but it seems to be something to the effect of a social sunken cost issue. people dont want to think they went through stupid shit like getting their nuts slapped at frat houses or all the dumb bullshit to get into some career for no reason so they are more likely to stick with it and feel part of a group

they created a popup on my computer so every morning when i started it would pop up and announce i was committing wrong think and i had to click accept on it before i could log in

I'm lucky I work in a small hotel with no one but me at the front desk. Sometimes I need to handle relations with my manager or the cleaning lady, otherwise I'm totally alone.
My work is easy : handle the guests during my shift, make sure all rooms are paid for when the guest leaves, and handle little conciergerie tasks for the guests.
I have a long term contract, work 35h/week, from thursday afternoon to sunday evening, I get paid decently.
I often watch Youtube vids on the downtime, listen to music all the time and shitpost here on the work computer. Also I'm a smoker and I don't have any limitations on how many I smoke each day. Usually go for 1 per hour, to limit myself.

I have worked with bigger teams on bigger hotels, and the relationship game with coworkers always tired me.

I might be less paid that your average cubicle worker with big diplomas, but I'm just comfy. I watch my kinos and TV shows at home or at the cinema, play some games too and see friends on my off days.

Literally the opposite. They succeed, thrive, are promoted. The more of everyone's time they waste, the more they are viewed as being a "team player." It doesn't matter if they badmouth anyone (unless it's their boss), it matters that they're constantly yapping, and so are thus perceived as "social" and therefore valuable according to the HR bullshit culture, even though they are in a sense antisocial because they only ever narcisscisticly talk about themselves, and the rare occasion they talk about someone other than themselves, it's to
shit on them. Sounds anti-social to me, actually, but I don't make the rules I guess.

>>223030639
It's not an exaggeration when I say any federal/state job will let you work from home at least 3 days a week. Most private companies do as well, although admittedly it's not as common.

No one expects you to be busy constantly, that's unreasonable. The people you work with aren't robots- they have flaws and quirks too. It's like you guys see everything as black and white and it's exhausting.

This is over. The only jobs haven't RTO are shitty startups that have no office as a cost cutting measure and will fold in four years anyway.

ive worked both federal and state jobs and they absolutely arent supporting telework. im guessing you saw that its possibly to request that 3 day work from home, which is true. its also true that anyone who submits that request gets denied.

4 male protags are shown in their various lives, each from a different board and economic class/lifestyle. Movie takes place over 1-1.5 days. At first each glance each character seems like a normal person in his own way but as the day progresses their degeneracy comes into sharp focus.
Intros:
/tv/ guy is shown in a clean apartment having a beer while watching a movie. Camera pans to collection of liquor bottles in the kitchen and clock reading 4:00am.
/fit/ guy is shown finishing a set at the gym, sunrise just peeking up through the bay windows in the background. Next he's shown walking to his car post-shower holding a protein shake. Once in the driver's seat he adds copious Bacardi to it.
/r9k/ guy seems like a normal 19/20yo guy living with normal parents. They're having breakfast in a nice house. He returns to his trashed room that looks like the image of the steel reserve guy passed out at his computer. He cracks a beer as he sits down to his desk.
/biz/ guy, well dressed is doing morning team building exercises in a bright open concept office. He is clearly not having fun. When it's over he returns to his desk and takes a long pull from a flask.
They all eventually meet each other throughout the day and crazy night.

Next scenes:
/r9k/ hears his parents leaving for work. He gets up and looks out the window and watches both cars pull out of the driveway. He finishes his beer while getting dressed to leave and stuffs a few tallboys from his mini-fridge into a backpack, cracks a new one, and heads out.
/biz/ is at his work desk, someone pops by and reminds him of a meeting in 15min. He cheerfully thanks the person for the reminder yet instantly looks miserable as soon as they turn to walk away. He goes to the bathroom and finishes his flask in a stall and starts chewing a piece of gum.
/fit/ is shown in a busy intersection outside his car, which was rear-ended at red light, car needs to be towed. He's clearly nervous about the strong drink in the cupholder and his system. He's downplaying the incident to the very apologetic driver that hit him. They exchange info and decide they don't need police involvement. The tow truck arrives and after a brief interaction with that guy he starts walking.
/tv/ is shown sitting in the same place on his couch as last time, except now the sun is streaming in through the blinds. He's passed out, beer sideways on couch, wet spot evident from when it spilled. He slowly wakes up and goes to the fridge. After a brief glance he looks over his shoulder to the spilled empty and says "fuck."

>>223037100
Next scenes:
/fit/ is walking down the street muttering to himself, gym bag slung over shoulder. He's still sipping on his rum-filled protein shake. He stops and fishes around the bottom of the cup with the straw for the last bit. Annoyed, he looks around and then takes out his phone. Over his shoulder you see him search "liquor store."
/biz/ is in the meeting, looking especially despondent. The room is dimmed and they are watching a power point presentation. He looks forlornly at his watch. Slow pan to the ground to see his rapidly tapping foot.
/tv/ puts on a pot of coffee and then begins collecting drops from the liquor bottles on the kitchen counter into a highball glass. He gets about 1 shot from his efforts and drinks it, grimacing. He enters the bathroom and turns on the shower.
/r9k/ cracks a new tall boy as he walks down the street. He reaches his destination: a liquor store parking lot. He settles down on a nearby curb and sips his beer. A moment later he watches a man walk up to the store and attempt the door. It's locked. "They don't open until 9" he calls out. The guy turns around. It's /fit/. "You want a beer?" /r9k/ asks him.

>>223037127
Next scenes:
/tv/ now showered is finishing his coffee. He up-ends a few empty bottles to get a couple more drops in his gullet, his displeasure in the act is palpable. He dons an empty backpack and leaves the house.
/biz/ is listlessly typing away at his work terminal, a look of total defeat on his face. He pulls his empty flask out of his suit jacket pocket and gives it a shake, disgusted at how empty it is. He glances at his watch: 9:11am. He exhales deeply and rolls his eyes. A Cheerful coworker comes by his cubicle to ask what he's working on. His patience running thin, /biz/ silently stares daggers until coworker leaves.
/fit/ cracks a tallboy as /r9k/ stands up having just handed it to him.
>9am liquor store crowd, good people.
Says /r9k/, /fit/ agrees and they cheers their tallboy cans.
>What's your story?
>>Got rear-ended a red-light, car had to be towed. Half cut already. You?
>Parents think I still go to school.
>>Based. Sip.
>Sip.

What a weird fag. I bet he was bullied a lot

>>223029742

A couple of years ago, my company told everyone to prepare for a company photo-op.

Thought it was just some generic corporate bullshit.

Turns out it was a “Support for Trans Kids” photoshoot where every team had to hold up a sign and get their picture taken.

I asked to be excused on religious grounds. HR and my line manager kept trying to talk me into participating, but I refused. Eventually I just asked to take time off during the event instead.

A few months later, I was laid off along with several other employees who had also refused to participate. Official reason given was “budgetary concerns.”

We sued and eventually settled out of court. It’s been almost a decade now, and honestly, it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I genuinely loved that job.

Wow this doesn't appear to be pasta. You did well.
>Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

Finishing all the schools, including college, I realised white collar work is nothing more than continuing a school day, just with a different name. Instead of grades, you get a salary. Instead of sitting on your ass and completing school tasks, you sit on your ass and complete office projects. Worst, of course, is being stuck in an environment that attracks ageing females with its comfortable and low effort setting. And all the insecure cringe they bring with them like OP parodies. Thought your high school gf was annoying. Well wait until she grows older, fat and more cuntish.

Went into skilled blue collar work and never regretted it. All male environment, only females you might see are usually the accountants. HR. What is that?

The quality of the brigades differs, of course, but lazy or stupid shits get a kick in the ass if the core of the brigade ain't rotten. If the collective has good chemistry, especially in small to smallish medium sized enterprises, it's like an extended family. I would compare it to the same kind of gang cohesion you get in the military with a good squad and platoon

So no rational explanation, just knee jerk emotions and hatred of fun. The rest of us actually enjoy fun and bonding. And we have even more fun putting the quiet loners like you on the spot and making you really uncomfortable. Usually that leads to you enjoying yourself and joining the rest of humanity.
>>223043131

They are hurting themselves by being asocial. Lack of real life social connections is associated with mental illness and early death risk factors. We include them because we want to help them.
>>223043537

Painful

im so regretful and insecure about how ive ruined any chance i had at a normal career life. every time i read about people who have a normal good job, the people who work remotely, all these people in highly paid usually white collar careers, i just get more and more crippled by insecurity. guys working in sales, guys working in tech, guys working as lawyers or finance or all the other highly paid, well respected jobs, but it can also include impactful blue collar jobs too. guys who go on business trips with expense accounts, guys who see clients, guys who go to offices dressed in a suit or tie, guys who have jobs and careers like normal men do.

i sit here in my mid 30s contemplating how ive wasted my entire worthless life.

I'm not 30 anon, I'm 34. But unfortunately 30 actually is when I completely gave up. It was a life milestone that I reached having accomplished nothing in my life and falling into a pit of despair so deep that 4 years later I have not even gotten close to crawling out of it. I attended college/uni when I was 18, got a degree and did nothing with it. And I've had 15 years to waste and rot and to have my self esteem driven to negative levels.

>>223044852
>Nah, most people seem quite smart and driven and capable.
>seem
That's the keyword here anon.

I'm a North European sperg in the root and was especially during child/youth years, and I get that in USA this forced meme socializing culture at work etc is even more overblown so it's close to non-existent where I live in comparison.

That said, even as a sperg I understand the concept where unless you are fully established and impossible to replace after 30 years of doing your job exceptionally well, then people are not going to trust you and it will hinder how the workplace flows, if you always move to your own desk to eat or drink coffee alone and don't attend enough social events everyone else goes to and shit. You might do your job well and have zero wrongdoings to your name, doesn't matter and doesn't work that way and has worked that way for very select few occasions in known history.

Of course that said, modern life and many jobs are fake or jew daycare for women etc and the system does very shit job at recognizing spergs for their hidden potential. They actually openly wants spergs to kill themselves if they are white and have one wrong opinion. I suppose nazis were better at this because while they sterilized drooling autistic people with 60iq (like every other country before and even after ww2), they had some ideas what spergs are even before Asperger made it up by 1944.

But it's very ironic seeing 30 years ago no one was diagnosed in sperg spectrum other than adhd which everyone talked about but now you 50% of women and celebrities are autistic people and actual spergs are people who the system wants to kys because they might be dangerous, like recognize patterns etc so zero hope in this regard.

One of the joys of working in a small printing shop, is that HR corpo fruitcakery can't throw their weight around. Sometimes some office fag shows up, demanding that they be trated like royalty, only for my elderly female boss to ask them how big an order are they going to place, and will they return often enough to make it worth our while to disrupt production for their shitty little project. Of course being an elderly women she wraps the venom in big lovely innocent gestures.

But man, watching office fags squirm when being put in a position of responsibility with a deadline, and pull waaaaaaay the fuck back when the boss asks for payment in advance, priceless.
