Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Dear work colleagues, you know you could just ask me to change something small instead of telling the manager (hexbear.net)

Seriously it's often the tiniest little thing, like the margins are 2mm too small or a spreadsheet was filled in a certain method. I've had convos with teachers where I ask them "hey do you mind if I do it slightly differently", they go "OK", and then 10 minutes later a manager comes and asks me to do it the original way. Like fine, but why the fuck didn't the original teacher just ask me. I'm the most gentle and flexible person I know, I literally haven't had an loud argument at work since I before 2000. I'm not gonna have it out over this issue with you.

How the fuck is telling the manager not considered snitching with some people?

"Oh hey, does anyone else have concerns or questions about x project or know who is handling this (even though i have thoughts not questions and know exactly who this is)? I have this absolutely conniving and needling curiosity to make whoever's life this is miserable, in the most passive aggressive way imaginable. Anyhow, a heap of professionalese and deliberate microaggressions to sign off.

Kind regards, the person who makes their job their whole damn identity

P.S. Please understand that this war of attrition I am staging will cause an outburst from my target, and that I will be clearly in the right by maintaining professional composure when my hostile assault elicits a tantrum response from said target making them seem paranoid and in need of personal reflection."
