Does anyone else hate pretty much everyone else in your job field? I’m back in school now but in the year I was working at a full time job, basically every other engineer was a chud who absolutely refused to consider other people and were only doing engineering because they got paid a lot. I know it’s good to get to know everyone you work with and build solidarity but it’s basically impossible when they’re all so insufferable.
How do all of you deal with it?
I have some D&D sessions with some coworkers who are fairly progressive but still basically libs.
The rest as far as I can tell are middle aged pearl clutching neolibs or conservatives. Our manager, whom everyone despises, was trying to get people to open up about the BLM protests that were exploding in our small county a few months back as an attempt to out potential supporters.
And one of the VPs sent a company wide email about my specific branch saying if protests got too close to close the doors and call the cops. I almost literally face palmed at the irony.
The town I am is conservative and unincorporated. The protesters were maybe like 25 college aged people with the only black people in town.
I deal by coming home to a pup and loving partner and absorbing myself in my hobbies and theory. Having mutual aid outlets help too cause those ppl are usually comrades.
