my only motivation to be there is to earn money and my 401k. So many of my coworkers and management feel offended by this statement.
I’m union. Union lawyer thinks this is a management strategy to try to manipulate me.
Cue BS answer for any c-suite that tries making me feel insecure over this:
well, I’m a terrible liar, that’s why I’m asking you :D
the unfriendly party might be easy: I’m always friendly and direct because I want to work. maybe that?
Be more friendly.
Or leave.
I know this is controversial here but working with people who refuse to have any fun or can’t joke around for a few minutes is terrible.
Some people are not very social, are taciturn or sad by nature or circumstances. They don’t owe you “fun” they owe you doing their duty.
You are a terrible person.
Thank you for understanding.
