I definitely shouldn't engage with people I don't know either. I'm not saying it's always bad but it's frequently bad. I guess I didn't know any of y'all at one point but that was during the halcyon days of 2018

Never call the cops

This morning one of my wife's colleagues fell into a broken grate while walking to work and hurt himself. He didn't know what to do so he called the cops and reported it. When they got there they accused him of faking it and filing a false report and then cuffed him and put him in the back of a squad car. When his wife showed up to get him she was also cuffed. They kept them there for 30 minutes until they checked some security cameras and saw he was telling the truth

Anyway, I genuinely believe that I have changed for the better because of it, but also it can be extremely toxic sometimes

A lot of companies talk about having a "culture" and it's total bullshit but my company really has a very strong and distinct culture. Some people have referred to it as a motorcycle gang. One lady that quit at lunch on her first day said it was a satanic cult

And that they should send out a survey to see if the staff wants to return to the office or not (spoilers, they do not)

I argued for pay raises for a different department

I won't, just FYI. I don't even think I'll catch static for it
