I'm curious does it matter if its a previous employer? what could they possibly do?
- braingenious 4y agoI live in the US, where people and corporations are notoriously litigious and I’ve worked at some terrible places. For example, I once had a coworker that would openly crush up and snort various pills between calls while fundraising for one of the two main political parties. This was not an issue for management. I would never post [name of that employer] from any account that could possibly be attached to my name anywhere.
- metadat 4y agoThat doesn't sound great but was this person actually doing anything to interfere with you other than existing in your presence? Just curious, and I agree it's unprofessional. I can be quite judgemental, though.
- braingenious 4y agoYes. A guy railing a line of Concerta right next to me while I was on a call loudly enough for the possible donor to hear and ask about it was a problem for me.
- krageon 4y agoWhy would a possible donor ask about a noise that sounds extremely similar to someone blowing their nose? This comes off as moralising for the sake of moralising, nothing actually harmful has happened.
- braingenious 4y agoBuddy I don’t know what to tell you here other than the noise a person makes after snorting a pill that was explicitly designed and engineered to be unpleasant to snort is not a normal noise. Edit: This is the funniest exchange I’ve had on this website, thank you. “Preferring people don’t do lines of apparently excruciating substances right next to me, at work, in an office, while I’m literally on the phone” being “moralizing” is hilarious.
- krageon 4y agoIt's good to know I made someone happy, even if it was entirely by accident :)
