you might be an introvert, passionate about your job, or simply old enough to disregard friendships at work because you already have enough friends and a family.

The coworkers I like the most are the ones that come to work, don’t like drama, do their job and go home. That’s what I try to do.

However, there are always some established cliques who know how to play the unit / supervisor and get away doing much less, even feeling entitled to order you around, even though they are not your supervisor.

To people who experience this. How do you tolerate it? Even after changing jobs, this can happen at your new workplace, maybe it happens in every workplace?

    God yeah, a hundred percent, great illustration of exactly what I was alluding to. It’s so short sighted. Even the benefits are nothing compared to the heights we could reach if we oriented our economics around coopération.

    Cruelly, this system “works” (or at least is successful in perpetuating its existence) right up until the point of resource collapse (or revolution, if we’re looking at the good ending).

    Thanks for your reply. I was pretty happy with this comment, so am chuffed to hear you appreciated it.
