This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've found few people I'd call friends at jobs. Most people who tried to be "friendly" with me were social climbing shitheads working an angle or emotionally-stunted people trying to recruit me into their petty shop floor dramas.

There are plenty of comments similar to yours and every time I see them I wonder, what industries do these people work in, and how much work experience do they actually have. If you're doing something highly competitive like certain kinds of sales or finance, it makes sense that there's going to be a lot of jerks around you. But in a lot of other jobs, like if you're working at the grocery store or something, it's not like anyone gets any advantage by trying to manipulate you. So I'm really wondering, what are these fields that are just completely full of totally worthless human beings?
