  • A few things that I haven’t read here:

    1. Everyone at work is stressed. Everyone wants to be somewhere else, but has to pay bills. Therefore, don’t take it personal if people are angry, frustrated, snap at you or don’t want to talk. Many of the people that come across as mean and unfriendly are nice and chill off the clock.

    2. Likewise, accept if people keep their distance. Consider how much distance you want to keep, and how much you trust which coworker. Again, nothing personal, just the way people are. As someone said so nicely, often, politeness is more important than friendliness.

    3. Shared suffering is bonding. “Sucks today, eh?” is a complete sentence and shows that you are on their team. Be careful around talking about specific people or talking politics. And if you do, start slowly. Feel out the other person first, and always consider how big the chance of them being a backstabbing bootlicker is, and how much damage they could do to you in that case. Don’t be paranoid either, but don’t blindly trust strangers.
