    Socializing is part of work. Makes you more productive and less stressed. Change my mind.

    Plus fuck wage slavery.

      Socializing is the part of work that was making me incredibly more stressed and less productive. Interactions with coworkers is what made me basically have a burnout.

      It doesn’t take much empathy to understand that not everyone loves social interactions, and especially not with people that they don’t choose and that can determine whether or not they get fired. If you like to chat at work, sure, enjoy yourself, but don’t start making it look like it’s a universally good thing.

          Yeah, tell that to my coworkers that complained to my boss that I don’t spend 20 minutes each morning going from office to office to shake hands with everyone.

          If you don’t want to socialise, you don’t get empathy, you get criticized, and forced into doing it anyway.

          And no, my work place wasn’t even bad or toxic, people just don’t tolerate non-social people at all. And it’s not like I was being rude or anything, I was engaging with them and such, but just not enough for them.

      Yeah a decent chit chat helps alleviate some of the drudgery. It’s important to balance though and respect other people’s workflow too.

    This, except it’s the boss doing it, and the last panel is him deciding that everyone needs to work over the weekend to get the work done.
