My co-workers are a bunch of worthless slugs.

[Brigid]

I swear if I poured salt on most of them, they would melt. All day long today it was Just vulgar talk about sex and certain bodily functions I am sure I don't have to name. I've seen better manners in barnyards, and heard better grammar at a Larry the Cable Guy concert. In fact, Larry the Cable Guy is downright debonair compared to some of them. Thank God I'm moving this summer. :banghead:

1. What sorta job you got?

??????????

[HopeHoops]

2. So you've got a NORMAL office job.

The worst are the sales holes and marketeers - waste of air at best.

[Brigid]

3. An office job? Don't I wish.

I work for a temp agency doing packaging for a company that manufactures CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. True, it isn't exactly rocket science; but does that really exempt these people from acting halfway civilized?

4. "All day long today it was Just vulgar talk about sex and certain bodily functions"

Just a hunch but I don't think the Lounge is a place to get sympathy on this.

[Brigid]

5. Believe me, the Lounge is quite civilized by comparison.

Today was just especially bad.

6. I just assumed she *was* talking about us. n/t

7. Hey, I'm venting here . . .

And all I get are wisecracks! :cry:

8. Heh, you said crack

Here, this will comfort you.

9. That "might" be because...

...and I say "might" because I can't speak for anyone else here, just myself...but it "might" be because 99% of the people reading this have had the misfortune of working with some variant of the same worthless slugs you describe.

On June 1, 2011, I will celebrate the ten year anniversary of my own company.

That's right, on June 1, 2001, I walked out the back door of Cisco Systems, after having turned in my laptop computer and security badge and completed my exit interview, and walked into a life that would be designed by me, for me, period.

It came with a high cost...higher than I'm willing to explain here...but for a decade, I haven't been a part of that "society," of the cube dwellers and cutthroats and apple-polishers and tattle-tales.

People know you're venting.

They're just trying to help you lighten your load while they're listening.

11. That is a big reason I prefer to be around women rather then other guys.

I don't care for juvenile and misogynistic humor.

[Mopar151]

12. I'm with you

Coed is best, with the right people.

[mzteris]

13. when you leave

please please please let Human Resources (and your temp agency) know about the behaviour. It is against the law and no one should have to be subjected to that kind of work environment.

[provis99]

14. try hanging around welders.

Then you're dealing with halfwits who's idea of a practical joke is to burn you from behind with a welding stick.

[snagglepuss]

15. That sounds horrible. I can understand why you are so pissed off.

Vibes. :hug:

[Rochester]

16. I and my co-workers talk like this all the time.

And we think nothing of it. Of course, we're grunts and we're expected to be coarse :)
