Hanging out with Co-workers?

I’d say dont always flake. Go out once in a while.

I got caught in some drama. Learned the hard way.

Now I go out ocassionally.
 
When I changed my user name on indeed from this goofy *** email I made when I was 12 to first.last.#@gmail.com and checked the willing to move box I was getting calls left and right. IBM in Fairfax, VA which is South so it's not like the tri state, culture wise and cost of living wise it's probbly more like a Southern state since it's right close to Kentucky and North Carolina. If you want to look into it, they offered a BAG. Even her low end estimate had me like :wow:


:lol: I used to live/work in Fairfax. It's the DC area, you have the wrong idea.
 
It’s perfect outside today!! 72 degrees and sunny but I’m stuck at work fml

Edit: thought this was tan lmfao
 
I even googled the city. I'm sure my memory is doing me a disservice. Apartments were like 1100 for a 3br. Let me see if I still have the emails

Radford!

Hate hanging out with co workers unless they are mad cool.

But I will hangout with female co workers.

Man if you're white collar that's even worse...

**** is a 100% guaranteed time bomb waiting to happen.

I’ve tried it. It’s not the same.

A good way for me to meAsure if I’m going to hangout with my coworker outside of work is. I say to myself. “Would I do blow with this person?”

If no. Then that’s that

If yes. Then I already knew this person before work.
 
I'll briefly attend an occasional after work happy hour for birthdays or if someone is leaving. But I ain't staying all day, and I'm not kicking with y'all on the weekend. Being the only black guy in the office, I really have little in common with everyone else and I don't like having to keep up my "work voice" past 5:30.
 
If you have nothing in common with don't waste your time. I would say yes for a drink by a place by your job...and When things get to uncomfortable for you leave. That' it

Other than that I'm not going somewhere far from my job for ppl I have nothing in common with. If it' a near by bar. Get a drink and leave
 
I was always told you are there for a paycheck and friends are a bonus
 
A few years back, we got this new corny supervisor who found out that one of the guys was inviting some ppl to his birthday at the club.

Man didnt get an inv and told my boy if he didnt inv everyone, thats considered “workplace exclusion” and could be disciplined for it :rofl:

You gotta be a loser to say somethin like that. My boy told him what he does and who he sees outside of the workplace is none of his business.

Dude was speechless
 
My last gig had a great team. It was the first job where everybody - minus the manager - was in the same age range (mid 20s to early 30s). We did happy hours after work, gone to each other’s housewarmings/kickbacks, weddings, bars/dinners on weekends, etc. It wasn’t every weekend or anything like that but the term “work friends” didn’t apply. We became friends that met at work. We’re meeting up in a couple weeks to bar hop.

In the consulting world it’s important to network or at the very least be cordial with your coworkers. You never know when you’ll need someone to refer you for a job when your contract ends. My situation was just a near perfect experience where I luckily came away with 8-10 new friends.
 
I cringe when I see people who work together “hug”.

I’ve been at my job for 10 years, you get 1 dap only, and that’s on your first day at work.

Its 15 mins outside of DC and is where all of the money is

Her low end estimate was :wow: because thats how much it costs to live there


And its nowhere near Kentucky :rofl:

Whole top 3 are VA counties bordering DC. Its poppin' out there. You might want to give her a call back
 
it was a bag though. She was like uhhh at worst probably do 47 an hr plus per diem food, fly you home, benefits, etc. and at best maybe lte 50 so let me get a calculator,.... so thats like mybe 98 to 120." Might consider it some other time but if I'm ever going to agree to being away from my daughter that long I think I'd go overseas
