Who the fuck behaves like that in a workspace?

    Jobs with shitty cultures. Restaurants, bars, places where managers are like in their 20s, the owner and management team are "family", and HR is some random woman in her 50s who chain smokes.

    Once I worked at a office job, everything was so much more chill and drama moved outside High School BS to real adult stuff, like whose doing cocaine on the boss's desk.

    Oddly enough that isn't quite my experience. I went to university immediately after finishing school and was pleasantly surprised at how civilized and mature everyone at university was, compared to just a few months ago at school, even though many of them were still teenagers. It's something about the environment of school that causes so many young people to behave awfully.

  • i suppose a large part of the misery of school is because most people who go there don't actually want to go there, so that sets it up as a place for suffering. which is different for universities, where most people who go there actually want to go there, which improves the climate by many orders of magnitude.

    in the workplace yeah the worst I've seen another teenager do is have their headphones in while sweeping. When they don't have a wage tied to them however...

    If their music is too loud to hear the fire alarm or other alarms. There were places that I worked that hearing an alarm would save your life. When I was a supervisor I should have said no ear buds, but that's a bit ridiculous. So I only got on a person's case if they had both in, a compromise. This way the teen sweeping can listen to their music and hear a hazard alarm if it happens. Workplace safety is important.
