I’m the quiet, introverted one and I may be on the spectrum. I like to do my job and go home. I hate drama and drama queens and ignore people when they start gossiping. Many extroverts find that offensive and talk behind my back like teenagers do. This stupid drama is the only reason why I quit my job after finding a new one.

I agreed to stay 4 weeks with the company because some coworkers are actually grown ups, it is a breeze to work with them and I can use their experience to be a better professional.

Back to the immature ones: Past me would ignore their sarcastic and passive aggressive comments, which took a toll on me but now I have nothing to lose and I couldn’t care less what they think of me, meaning I started to answer back using their same tone and so sarcastically and passive aggressively as them: they yell at me accusing of doing something on purpose, I politely tell them to calm down and to seek help.

Most of my coworkers are women. Since I started answering back and being a jerk, they toned their b%tchiness way down, it is more pleasant to work here now.

I don’t understand why my coworkers treat me with some respect now that I’m being a jerk and I hate I have to be a jerk to be treated with a modicum of respect. I don’t know if I’m wrong but I think they have an idea of what a man is supposed to be and now that I fit their definition of a man, they leave me alone because they see in me something familiar to them.

I find it sad I have to be an ass to be treated with respect and I hope to find a workplace where I can be myself and work with no drama.

Is this something that’s going to happen no matter where I work?

    You know women does not equal extrovert, I hope?

    “Women be bitchy unless I am bitchy first” is just too neatly packaged for internet woman-hating bait. Is this AI or someone trying to karma-farm reddit style?

      I think I agree with you:

      1. OP provides no examples of the claimed sassy comments, not a single one. It looks sufficiently generic to be early-AI-produced (recent AI should be able to go extremely specific lol).
      2. Account claims to be male but the username comes off as female: sarah2653@lemmy.ml
      3. The account is primarily comprised of open-ended posts with nearly zero comments, so it doesn’t seem to be primarily concerned with actually thanking anyone for any of their input or sharing any further context beyond each post, or at least sharing what they took away from any replies.

      Conclusion: this post isn’t worth responding to or wasting any further brainpower on because the scenario is fake. Downvote it to hell and maybe even report it until OP gives evidence otherwise.
