      The other way around. The humour at work is dark.

        we had a conversation about ritual suicide at work the other day and my coworker i’m the closest with was like “if that’s what we’re doing, i guess that’s what we’re doing”

          I’m so jealous. Masking my humour at work for the last seven years has left me nearly sane, stopped even talking to myself when I’m alone because I’m so boring now. I hardly ever wink at myself in a mirror anymore, I’m beside myself…

          We went from the housing situation to how the specific bridge at the Frankfurt Airport is not only comfy, but you also have a splatter party from people jumping from it, over if you could suicide by jumping from the height of our office, and ended with that people jumping but surviving (and vegetating in a wheelchair) must feel damn bad about not even being able to get that right.

          The main driving force in those conversations is the group’s boss (so my boss’s boss).

        Exactly what I was thinking. We are EXTREMELY racist at work. Toward everyone. Of like 12 people, only 3 are the same race.

    I have a 3 day work conference coming up and will need to constantly remind myself that they are a bunch of normies who won’t appreciate my humor or atypical value system.

      There will be others telling themselves the same thing. Be yourself, attract those like you. Start a cult. Take over the conference.

        Normally I agree with you. When I used to go to catering conventions I’d let let myself off the leash. Hospitality industry people appreciate my antics. By the end of those trips there would always be people coming up to me to ask, “Aren’t you the guy that ______?”

        This is a particularly small group (18 people including me and my director) and I’ve moved from hospitality to healthcare. I don’t know everyone super well but I know them well enough to know that I need to behave.
