This is how wfh can be for people who aren’t able to wfh productively.
The people who zone out will do so in person as well. I am that person.
Why?
Gee I wonder why, really...
Me too. I wonder. Using direct quotes and not interpretations, can you say why?
I will be quoting myself then. You come off as arrogant and non empathetic and just generally an asshole.
How so? If I’m in a meeting, I give my peers the attention that I would want them to give me.
Is this a bad thing?
It’s pretty clear from this thread that people are telling you you’re an asshole based on how you treat other people, directly reflected by your first couple of comments in the chain. To ignore your own earlier behavior and instead goad an argument is simply more evidence that you’re the type of person that generally sucks to work with.
What was my behavior? Using quotes, not interpretation.
Literally told you. Don’t have to quote. Read my comment again and use basic logic
You don’t like that I feel a person should give their peers the same respect that they would want from them.
Got it.
Sure, yeah, that must be it. No need to self-reflect any further.
I was off somewhere else very pleasant, heard your voice, and got ripped back here. Sorry I’m not really paying attention to this meeting, and I’m not really sure where in the thread we are at this point.
Obviously that’s acceptable to you, so I know you’re cool with it. I’m gonna go back to dreamland. Nothing you say is important or relevant to me anyhow.
😇
keep diggin’ that hole
You mean you’re upset I’m not paying attention anymore 😱
Good on you for having the supernatural ability of arbitrarily assigning how much attention you want to give to something!
Unfortunately, that’s not how regular human brains work.
Ahh yes. The golden rule. Too much for “regular humans.” That explains a lot about how the world works.
Someone is an asshole for accurately describing an adhd symptom?? Lol. I have adhd and my most debilitating symptom is zoning out. You are actually insulting adhd people AND trying to claim moral superiority. Hilarious.
It took a lot of back and forth for them to finally bring that up. They were using it as a weapon, which is in appropriate. They weren’t bringing it up as an exception.
I get it. You see all the downvotes, don’t read any of the comments that led up to this one, pick the one thing that impacts you, and make it all about yourself.
There is no moral superiority here. No one is winning anything. No one is a better person.
I’ll go back to my original statement before blocking you as well:
Some people are not able to work from home. Some people don’t pay attention during meetings. If you have a disability that impacts your ability to focus, that’s something you can handle with your coworkers. However, if you are, as they say, a “normal person,” (funny you were ok with that, I wasn’t) you should give your peers respect and pay attention.
Goodnight (blocked)
Lol. Blocked? Oh no! I'm never going to talk to this asshole again. ):
…what? How did you even assume all of that from two comments? You sure you’re replying to me and not to the strawman in your head? I haven’t said a single one of the things you’re accusing me of.
Funny, that’s been happening to me all day. Yet that’s how I’ve interpreted your words. Oh well.
Blocking now. Adios.
Lmao. You really can’t make this shit up.
I hope you understand you are a horridly toxic human being and nobody in life respects you :D
Also...I can smell the middle management on you. Its palpable.
Elaborate.
Also, I’m not middle management 🤷♂️
Or what...gonna write me up? Cry to the real boss?
Come on, let it out.
Sorry you were saying? I was having a shit
mega
This is why I always refuse to be on video calls.
Or sometimes it's wise to filter out when some of your colleagues are filling out meeting time with nonsense. You only get brain fatigue and get nothing for it.
Is it nonsense to everyone or just you?
In my experience, meetings are 90% nonsense and usually could have been summarised in a single email.
I definitely agree with that.
Oh, everyone but themselves. Some people have next to no self-awareness, you see. And if you have no clue what I'm talking about, chances are you're one of them.
I know what you’re talking about. But if you’re the only one in the room not paying attention, maybe you’re the problem?
Who said I'm the only one? I'm not.
It was more of a rhetorical question, as I have no idea what your situation is. Also, you have no idea what my situation is.
Of course, which is kind of my point here. But your rhetorical question only works if the situation is very specific, which is weird given that - as you point out - you have no insight into my situation at work. To summarize, you have no case.
I can ask whatever I want, and I’m not trying to make a “case.” This is a chat room, not a court room. Calm down.
You see, sometimes people use expressions like that in an informal, half-joking manner. But I'm starting to get a feeling for why you seem to be taking this conversation so personally...let's do something else now, shall we?
You’re reading a lot into this. 🥹 If you didn’t want to talk about it, you shouldn’t have commented. 🤷♂️🍿
Well, I was amused at first, but not anymore. Good night.
Glad I could amuse you! Good night
Sorry people are piling on you! Tbh, I think your comment is more or less innocuous. I think it never helps to dig into it when people downvote lol
I really don’t think you deserved a lot of the harsher type comments, just my two cents
I appreciate your comment. I wasn’t trying to be all “you should work, kids these days!” Or anything like that. Obviously I could have just ignored them, but sometimes we gotta die on the hill.
I think a lot of people don’t have a good working environment, and this hit home for them.
I get that people space out. Everyone does it at some point. My takeaway from all this is that I’m really glad I work with a group of people who respect each other and really want to help their fellow coworkers do the job they’ve been paid to do, so we all can pay rent.
