Obsessed with work is the most obnoxious type of person. It’s a validation seeking behavior that I find intolerable.
We do the best we can with what we know at the time. We're products of our parents and environments. You can't blame somebody for that.
I agree wholeheartedly. I just don’t like this particular behavior. I’m a little more European in that way.
But my job is awesome and I really enjoy it and I'd do it for free if I didn't have to worry about money. I just want to share the fun fulfilling stuff I did with my friends :(
Luckily we're all autistic enough to tell me off if they don't want to hear about it.
Counterpoint, the best way to organize unions is to become obsessed with everything happening within your workplace
I am not sure I've ever met a labor organizer but I've definitely met vest guy who just wants to talk about his job and if I try and change the subject a bit they ask me about my job...
Bonus points if they start telling a story with names from their work as if I know them.
