That's almost every co-worker. Corporate capitalism incentivizes narcissism, so when products of that environment exhibit these behaviors it's no surprise. Either play the game or get out.

Thank you. I see that I am not. That's a relief. But always glad to be done with my workdays each day...

I know this is just focused on behavior but I’m always curious about the systemic issues that lead to these behaviors in the first place. Maybe if corporate culture wasn’t so harmful, we could have inclusive, intersectional, and affirming workplaces for marginalized people and would see less of this over time with community based supports.

So ight boom

I had to help a coworker out and it was no problem as always im there to work no doubt and I had to help one individual that I was cool with since I started there last year.. so this woman asked for this pallet jack so boom im tryna give her the pallet Jack dude I was cool with jumped in front of me eager to give it to her showing off im like bruh you deadass why would you dodge in front of me.. so ight the shift ova 5 minutes later in my mind I was like im finna approach him so that's what I did.. I pulled him to the side cuz ion like making no scene that's too extra. So im asking him why he did what he did and he was acting oblivious to it.. we boutta leave now and he was like "you felt some type of way" I was yea I feel some type then he was like don't talk to me nomore and started walking off so I'm like ight bet then the same woman asked me to do a survey as that occurred this dude tried to walk up on me like he was finna do something I had my forearm on em boutta push him but that woman was right there behind me tellin me come do this survey and go do what you gotta do after so I told dude wait for me outside and ian see him out there at all..

Question about the topic. Does this sound passive-aggressive? The chef at my job asked me how I was after a lecture she gave me the day before. See, she'd taken me to my boss's office--with the both of them--and told me that I've been touching my coworkers too much ( *_casually, _* on arms or shoulders). I was always very outgoing and tactile at work. She told me that we need the workers to be comfortable in a good work environment. That I shouldn't talk about anything other than work and school or tell my stories, because they may be inappropriate or upsetting (can't remember her exact words) to others. Now yeah, I pretty much didn't have a filter, but I don't think I said anything *_horrible._* I only meant to have fun with my crew. I really didn't get specific information from the chef about subjects and references. She likes that I'm outgoing, but she made it sound risky and in need of limits. And again, that I shouldn't touch anyone without consent. And then the next day, she asked how I was. Like, WTF? What did she think? That I was doing well after she practically shamed me? If I didn't know any better, I'd say she was patronizing me--or just plain nuts. I should've said, "Uh....I'm sorry, I'm genuinely curious to ask, why would you ask me how I am after yesterday?" I'd kiII to know her point of view.

Also, for the record, I own my mistakes at work, so I don't want anyone twisting it around into I'm making the chef the only bad guy. I didn't _mean_ any harm or discomfort. If I had known anyone would feel either, (though technically no one showed signs), I would _not_ have touched them. I am not a creep. But the chef made me feel like one. I always thought it was perfectly innocent and natural, and I still do, in certain ways. Happens a lot at the bar parties I go to—total strangers. Besides, two middle-aged workers from the dining department have done it to me; I don’t condemn it. All in all, I deserved some dignity and comfort from the chef.
