The collapse of my country
America?
US yes
Is everyone in your workplace in agreement? If so you're lucky
I have fought hard to get a job I get to think and do science to help people, fascists and conservatives don't give a shit about science, thinking or helping people... which is why they want to get rid of us.
It isn't a homogenous group, but it is very clear who wants to hurt us and it is scary because frankly, the average USian is pretty much ok with it or thinks important things and expertise can be rebuilt in a day if they are "accidentally" slashed, destroyed and spit on.
We are in agreement in the sense that a bunch of people screaming in a runaway train hurtling off a cliff are in perfect agreement about how they feel.
And very few other topics recently. Even after the department was told "political talk at work won't be tolerated"
Really thankful I have a WFH job and don’t ever have to listen to water cooler talk.
Do you ever miss the office?
Every once in a while but not very often! I’ve never been someone who gets too social with their coworkers.
I get that, I avoid staff nights out like the plague
