    That’s funny. I’m currently on vacation now with a former staff turned friend. (He thinks I’m a moron for engaging with internet trolls and I agree.)

    I can name six other staff I’ve worked with over the years at various firms who I’m still in touch with. They reach out for career advice, technical questions, and just in general to say I’m literally the only manager they’ve worked with who actually spent time teaching instead of dumping a shitload of work in their lap and then disappearing.

    I love telling staff they’ll be teaching me stuff before they know it and they never believe me. The proudest moments of my professional life are when they explain something new to me and i go aha! There it is!

    So I’m confident you’re wrong about the piece of shit argument.

    One guy in this very thread told me to fuck off because I miss learning from colleagues. Fuck me, right? These are the people I’m talking about, and right now you’re not making a good case for yourself not being one of them.

    This really isn’t a difficult concept. This thread is full of people who are literally terrified of a friggin phone call. I don’t know what fields they’re in where they can just be cave trolls who don’t answer the phone, much less shower and wear a damn polo with webcam on, but it sure isn’t mine. (I can only assume IT of some sort which would explain a lot about the level of people skills and civility in this thread, or lack thereof.)

    Ps:

    they shouldn’t care and neither should you

    I care about the quality of my work and my career. Guess I’ll go fuck myself then.

      Relax, most people are idiots. There are a lot of idiots and non professionals in this thread. Also a few communists who are anti work by their definition.

        Thanks. I post a benign thought that i found interesting and this lunatic goes berserk. I’ve been on tons of forums on the interwebs for decades now and so far lemmy has more idiots and assholes than anywhere I’ve ever been, and they’re super aggressive too. Seriously considering deleting my account here.
