Try to talk to coworkers at work

Was this field always so infested with normalfags? I pretend to be interested in their small talk so I won't be viewed as a sperg, but at the very core I don't really understand why a 2 year old boy shitting its' pants is a better conversation topic than anything programming related. Hell, I've heard people calling other people "too silent" because they were actually working instead of discussing home renovations or kindergarten admissions.

that's cause other people have life, and you are just arrogant faggot.

People don't want to talk about technology all of the time, even the enthusiastic ones won't be autistically enthusiastic like you.

At least there's some diversity of topics at your place m8. At my place it's exclusively sports talk.

because the workplace is a coffin, people get a job so they can live and die. it's all they have

Office culture is generally shitty, it's the same everywhere. Part of the issue IMO is needing to deal with many different ages of people, who often can't relate over much.

I do get that and I wouldn't even mind but the ratio seems to be like 9:1 and people seem to raise their eyebrows if you talk a little bit too much over that. Bizarre as hell.

I don't have that problem in my office. Maybe you set it up wrong? Turn it on and off again?

Why do you care? Go find the people who want to talk about tech and become friends with them.

Because they're normies?
Jow Forums is also pretty normalfag place nowadays. These people are there either to make money or they grew up wanting to make video games, but are forced to write boring code and since they're unintelligent they won't re-educate themselves into something more fitting them.

Very few people are nerds or intelligent, otherwise we'd have Leonardo Davincis every generation, but we have only one.

> wouldn't it will be bore for people sometimes? normie, of course most of them interest in technology because they don't work in tech. for people work live in tech and still speaking about tech, sound like another day, another doug.

>everybody goes to college and degrees are massively devalued
>you now need a fucking associates agree in something to work at mcdick's
It's amazing how uppity "intellectuals" (read fedora tippers and normalfags) will ruin everything if given the opportunity.

I recommend that anyone who hasn't gone to college or who's just starting out should seriously consider a skilled trade. You won't go into massive debt and there's nothing dishonorable about a little bit smaller paycheck and working with your hands. You'll have better job security while the machines replace cashiers, human resources, programmers, and all manner of other jobs that can be automated. But it's going to be a while until machines are smart and cheap enough to be able to be put at every construction site or in every home to do wiring or plumbing. Don't pay into the capitalist ponzi scheme that is college. Your degree won't be worth shit in 5 years and you'll just be 100k in debt, unable to rent even the smallest crackerbox.

>read some stats on your local team
>think of sports not as an athletic endeavour but one of logistics

>boomer talk
breeder =/= boomer
The word you are looking for is breeder, unless your work-mates were born around 1946

Or you can just get your degree in a country where high education is free or costs peanuts compared to US.

No you don't.

lol gramps get with the times

I study in one of those countries, but good public college schedules make it hard to work and study at the same time.
There are private universities if lesser quality that are more expensive, but still payable if you have to work and study.
There's one cheap public university that's distance / virtual so it's the best bet for working and studying at the same time, but beside programming courses the rest of the courses are made of writing huge essays in Microsoft Word. So they consume 9 to 12 hours or more a week per course just writing in Microsoft Word.

>What is that conference networking thing all about?

Most workplaces have guilds, conferences or study groups where like minded people get together and discuss technology.

You are just an idiot.

>programming can be automated
Only basic website shit can be
>people that do welding or construction cant be automated
Hmm they most certainly can be

My coworkers are all pretty into what we do. One of the guys has been progtamming as a hobby since DOS was a thing.

Please fuck off back to the YouTube comments, Rajesh.

Normie coworkers are the worst.

>get diagnosed with asperger's
>get on welfare
>in my 30s and never even had a job

if you're too autistic to be a normalfag but you still have a normalfag job, you're doing it wrong.

>work with literal 20 yr old redditors and 40-60 yr old experienced IT managers
>redditors are into windows, rpi, playing normie games, spotify, linus tech tips, and watching the latest movies
>one of them spergs out about his mech keyboard at work
>IT managers are well matured tech autismos, but with generally have good conversation about things they did in their career
It's actually not too bad here. The only indian that works here turns on pandora and plays 70s-80s pop and rock music all day.

> >it's either about their children or how drunk they got last weekend
I can understand kids, but getting drunk? Are they younger than 25?

This is what happens if you let normies in.

Why the fuck would anyone want to talk about fucking work in private? Are you so pathetic you have nothing else going for you than your vapid enthusiasm for consumer electronics goods?

I'm currently working off my last days in this company and every they I'm showing them more and more of my true power level.
It's going to be fucked when I start with the new company and I'll have to hide my true stances on things again...

At least do some FOSS projects you fat piece of shit.

you have autism
who the fuck wants to talk about technology or programming

Why would you pursue a career that you have no interest in?

It's my life pretty much. (Not op)

>get the equivalent of less than minimum wage and live like a worm
No thanks, I like money and I don't like depression.

Apologies, I forgot this is Jow Forums and I'm not allowed to have any actual interest in technology or programming

a lot of people don't like their jobs

Some of my colleagues don't even have a PC back home... And they are "Software Engineers". They do what is asked from them and then watch sports or whatever...
I don't have anything against sports per se, but not being interested one bit in the field where you work is sad in my opinion.

programming is ok but "technology"? seriously? just because it's electronic or has a computer in it it's suddenly interesting? that makes you a boring person

Normie dudebros should be bullied out of tech jobs.

>redditor who sits next to me asks if I like the color green
>ask him why he thought that
>says I like browsing sites with a lot of green text in small boxes
Power level is going to be compromised soon, glad I installed the black background and white text addon for waterfox to try and hide this.

sadly you're too beta to bully anyone irl

>90% of this thread are probably toxic coworkers that management sees as a problem because of their unwillingness to cooperate with other coworkers
>will probably post a thread condemning normies for their own pitfalls

Feels good to not be a whiny faggot when someone has more interests in their life outside of technology and actually care about other shit.

I can subtly sabotage their work.

>shuffle awkwardly over to coworkers
>they're talking about yucky normie stuff like beer and their children
>none of them are interested in talking about ricing their desktops or shitting on apple toddlers
>none of them have even heard of desu no bachi uwuhentai: sashimi ninjitsu, my favorite manga

Why are normies like this reeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

Uh-huh.

How did you like ((insert capeshit movie)))?

Simple.. it's time to get a job at a tech startup with younger people who are passionate/hungry about tech, it's potentials, and growing a business. If you're at a 'retirement home', the conversations will be different. That being said, the issue with solid tech work is that its exhausting and consumes you totally.. So, there's no [small talk]. I've worked in the valley for some time... People really dont 'chat it up' per say. Everyone's too busy w/ work and deadlines.

yeah u could - but you won't

you sound like such a little bitch

if anyone is getting bullied out it's the honest quiet enthusiasts
remember the stuff about firing 'incels' for them it has a very broad definition

incel means you're a virgin you fucking virgin

>micromanaging boss
>tries to force me into "socializing" drinking beer at some bar when I clearly expressed my lack of interest in events of this kind the day prior
>"international" company, on 3 person meetings, the two other people usually talk local language, excluding me from talks
>on teleconferences one of the remote guys has always some noisy kids/family interrupting calls
>incompetent IT
>people drink at work, get drunk and nag others to drink with them
Boring talks are my least concerns.
Good that I'm turning in resignation next week.

do you also have that guy who takes Adderall and comes in quiet in the early morning but after the med kicks in the mofo blabs non-stop about everything and anything?
then by the end of the day, when the drug starts to wear off when becomes more silent, depressed and weird?

>so are you but what am i xD

> you need to be a normal fag sheeple to have a life
no faggot, you still can have a good life but talk about interesting stuff that don't involve you getting shitfaced in last night's party or talking about how cute your little boys are.

>>get diagnosed with asperger's
>>get on welfare
>>in my 30s and never even had a job
>if you're too autistic to be a normalfag but you still have a normalfag job, you're doing it wrong.

Except Spergers can work and more or less function just like anyone else.. How the hell does that qualify someone for the easy life?

>getting drunk and puking and peeing all over the place and being an overall degenerate is fun

i even have a 1 year old and hate bringing him up. people are always asking and I don't say much and I think they get the hint.

Its like a group where everyone is a casual drinker and they find out you don't drink.

I don't mind talking about non-tech stuff. Its just the boring shit like "is your son walking yet?". people aren't creative.

He's probably a low functioning autist larping as aspergers.

try getting a job somewhere you dont have to work with teenagers

>special job agency or whatever it's called tries to say I'm high functioning enough to get a job at a gas station
>shit and piss my pants
>take handful of shit and throw it at freedom-hating jobcuck and smear shit all over everything while crying
>now I'm no longer marked as "high-functioning"

Is your son doing calculus yet?

>never gonna make it

already have a job with a team of responsible adults.

"superhero movies are for basedboys"
*never talks to me again*

>not having any funny or fun stories to tell to anyone
>living just to be miserable and die with nothing to show for it
>life is serious business 110% of the time
>your marriages and personal relationships fail because of the 'business as usual' attitude

Sad. May as well end it now.

> implying bragging about getting drunk is an acceptable social behaviour
If you're 13. Otherwise, I'd rather not work with immature people. It's like said, older coworkers are better.

>incel means you're a virgin you fucking virgin
Wrong. Celibacy doesn't imply you never had intercourse.

god, i can't believe this made me chuckle.

>I'm basically the company's shitfilter.
you do know you don't have to right?

>i get laid that way actually.
no you don't

>we hide our powerlevel pretty well.
lucky fucks, the lot of you.

I just detest people who voluntarily ingest ethanol.

Sorry I prefer kino like Schindler's List.

>How did you like ((insert capeshit movie)))?
They're great entertainment, for my 5 year old nephew.

So? What's wrong with being boring?

>I just detest people who voluntarily ingest ethanol.

This is what happens when you tell people that there is money to be made

>browsing four chink during work

I want alkies to leave my Jow Forums and go back to /alc/ generals on /ck/

>take that stick out of your ass
Ethanol numbs the central nervous system and inhibits critical thinking. I need all my cognitive faculties to process even just a tiny fraction of all sensory input.
I actually do vape. Nicotine possesses nootropic properties.

I dont drink either but hating people who do is just being a faggot
>I actually do vape.
hahaha

Unless the words "Jow Forums" show up on my browser, I will be fine otherwise. I'm glad this site doesn't throw around it's branding as much as other forums.

How about we make our own mega-Jow Forums company?

>hating people who do is just being a faggot
>muh hate
you have to go back

its not my hate, its your hate you fucking fedoralord

get a load of this guy

>bootcamp '''developers'''' discussing technology
>literally hurts hearing how they form strong opinions about things they can't even comprehend

at least I don't have to visit g that often

From my experience, this happens at shitshops with a low bar for hiring. It's not always like that.

Get a job with more academically oriented people. If they don't have any upcoming, self hosted courses and such, it's probably not great (key word being upcoming, because everyone's had something in the past that they'll point to if you ask).
