I like to keep a "professional distance". I really view my coworkers as "chess pieces" and not actual human beings. It's all just a "game". They will stab you in the back at any given moment if it suits them. To me, coworkers are just inanimate objects. They're like a piece of furniture at the store. Just cold, barren and lifeless objects who I barely acknowledge. It's best to isolate yourself from everyone at work and only talk to them about work-related matters.
I finally learned to do this at age 42!!! But my previous jobs when I was young I did have genuine friends. Now I’m a good morning good night coworker. I don’t say nothing else outside of work related conversation. And they be offended. But what I noticed is the same people who were standoffish and nasty acting when you started the job are the very ones who want to tag along with you to meetings and walking out for the night etc., and that showed me how truly FAKE people can be. So I be out the door before they can even catch me!
"Everyone is not your friend." FACTS FOR LIFE! ESPECIALLY IN THE WORKPLACE! People are usually FAKE AF THERE! Now every and then one or TWO may be a genuine true friend. But every one else is so damn phony it's not even funny lol. This is why I keep to myself most of the time.
I view my co workers as strangers who happen to be working together in the same building and for the same company. Outside of that, we have nothing to do with each other. I keep it strictly business, get my money and move on. I learned this the hard way after telling my family business to supervisors and co workers who eventually stabbed me in the back. Never again.
Very true. Although I know to not be too friendly with co-workers, sometimes I make the mistake of thinking.... surely; this time I can trust this person. However, I recall a time when I let my guard down to a co-worker that I genuinely call a friend and we both discussed our personal lives, less than 30 minutes later, my boss repeated the private things I had disclosed to the co-worker back to me even though the things I had shared were in a private conversation. It just emphasised to me that the principle of keeping work and private life separate cannot be stressed enough.
I agree it looked like I would have learned from my past experiences, but I let somebody in again that betrayed me. So now I am done now they’re mad cause I come to work I say good morning. Good night do my work and go home now they mad because I won’t talk. Lol
Great video!! Neighbors are also like this too! Nosey,Jealousy always want get in your business. Just because we live in the same neighborhood doesn’t mean we are automatically friends or family.
Yasss the same situation I just went through a month ago snakes the facility was full of them I was harassed, threaten, discriminated against , and lied on it was the worse place I’ve ever worked for I stayed getting stabbed over in over again the jealousy and hatred was to the roof very very sickening wanted the spot i was in wrongfully terminated soon as i left someone that I was associated with jumped right into it just insane it be crazy
I thought I was cool with one female coworker but it started to get weird real fast. She seemed to get jealous whenever I spoke to anyone else, interrupting me. Etc etc. saying if I needed help to ask but then acting as though I never do any work. Also my first week there she made little remarks like “I thought you went home since it took you so long.” (I was delivering food as a sever) and just making comments about how slow I was even though it was literally my first week. Her talking about how slow the dishwasher is and how he looks dirty. She keeps trying to ask me to hang out with her but half the time she talks over top of me, and she’s overall a very strange and untrustworthy person
One time they asked me to contribute $25 for a get together celebrating a so called family like working environment I yielded and so did this other girl and we are the smart ones I’m not going nor associate with them after business hours
Amen, the Lord ❤️knows it’s best to show kindness and be cordial in workplaces. Also, workplaces are not a place to make friendships or going around trusting people so quickly. I was so shock how quick ppl would turn on me and go telling the manger. Instantly, I cannot trust these ppl, they are sweet but when it comes down they will throw you under the bus any giving time.
I had to relearn this lesson. Naturally I just keep to myself and dont make work "friends." But I found someone I really liked and got close with them. Too close. Inevitably some conflict arose between us and she distanced herself from me. Luckily I didn't get in trouble because of what happened. We're on friendly terms again but that's where I draw the line. Plus she treats other people she claims to dislike better than she treats me, and what kind of real friend does that?
What a great video, this is why I got out of working inside warehouses and became an independent contractor working by myself, by the way you kind of resemble Olivia from g-unit!
Questions, as a male co-worker, what if a female co-worker puts her arm around you while walking, back to your workplace? Would a female co-worker hugs you for example, while you win an UNO card game during break? If that was me, I'd let her slide with the hugs. She knows I'm in a relationship ❤️
❤️if she knows that you are in a relationship.. She's just flirty, so if things end, she can be up next.. you should tell her it's too much and remind her verbally that you are in a relationship ❤️
❤️ I would just cancel that chick.. tell her what you just told me.. or let her know that what she's doing isn't kool. Your lady will feel a way because you are at work all day with this other woman.
