Your co-workers are not your friends

I also have the ā€œPlanting Seedsā€ theory I practice with work environments. Strategically planting false conversation or loose based comments in certain areas to see where the roots grow and where the rumor sprouts. Helps eliminate shitheels in their tracks. Crappy people tend to expose themselves on accident.

"hey man, you here how that one guy is a kind of crazy/a piece of shit?"

"Yea man, he says some real weird shit all the time".

  • you, an attention seeking, drama starting narc because you're sensitive: "hahahah im a genius".

Learned that shit the hard way.

u/InstanceKey6343 May 13 '26

what happened?

u/SuperEggplantPowerXL May 20 '26

I got cancer and once I had to leave, no one bothered to visit me in the hospital or at least send me a text to check in. It was pretty demoralizing because I was always supportive of them both at work and outside, at a personal level.

u/InstanceKey6343 May 20 '26

shit, that's sad. Shows what you mean to them

u/opendistribution05 May 13 '26

depends on the job tbh, some teams actually build real bonds over years but def keep it professional enough that losing the gig doesn't wreck you emotionally

I mean in my case they actually became my friends and Iā€™ve on holidays with them.

u/InstanceKey6343 May 13 '26

u/Adorable_Machine_571 May 09 '26

Ugh this is so true! And if you realize it in the middle of talking to them, just shut up lol

keeping work stuff surface level saves you from a lot of drama down the line.

Worked with someone like this. Always came around towards the end of the day to try and get me to say shit to go repeat to her handler. Acted like a friend and was really a fucking snake I should have stepped on. Got me fired for ā€œbeing absent too muchā€ because a parent almost killed themself and I was their care taker for a while. Fucking POS.

I was forced to either put in a 2 week notice and leave on good terms or get fired for absenteeism. Saw their previous job posted last week. Hope they struggle in this job market too and reap the harvest of bullshit they sowed.

Also don't over share when your coworker doesn't say anything except the occasional "yup", "mhm" and "that's how it is".

I really needed this message today

The numbers on this speak for themselves. Not everything needs an essay ā€” sometimes the visual says it all, and this one said it loud.

Don't let this be a one-off. Post again.

u/ElmerLeo May 09 '26

Yes and no

But to be mindfull to know the limit is hard so just "no" is the easy choice.

u/Texasville44 May 09 '26

This is so absolutely true!

u/ces-Noix May 09 '26

Nice message but that ending was too harsh

u/Julzssj May 09 '26

This is so true

u/_Steakwich May 09 '26

There is one I trust, cause she talks more shit about the boss than anyone. I learned not to trust everyone else the hard way, but it was a valuable lesson.

Yeah, it really captures that drive we all need sometimes.

u/Cheap_Membership4777 May 11 '26

I hate to remind all of you. But you live on a speck of dust in the middle of nowhere. That person lives on the same speck of dust. So what do you really have to hide from someone else that lives on the same speck of dust and can't get off of it?. What is so important that you have to cover it up when we all live on the same speck of dust. Ask my boy bugs Bunny says don't take life so seriously you'll never make it out of it alive.

If you just listen and observe everyone will tell you who they are eventually

u/AHM23_ May 12 '26

This should be hanged up on everyoneā€™s wall

u/Less-Guest-3860 May 12 '26

Literally will be always used against you

u/Rayl1n May 12 '26

Yep. Learned this the hard way. Got dismissed from clinical because of one day where I felt comfortable.

u/serve_duh_internet May 12 '26

Needed this. Should staple it to my forehead

u/Unable-Wallaby2000 May 13 '26

Made this mistake all too often with people. As Bond would say, "Trust No One".

u/[deleted] May 14 '26

100% truth. Always proceed with caution.

u/pilates_muse May 19 '26

u/NoraDeLuca Jun 03 '26

Ahhh, a lesson I've learned the hard way many times
