We all know that one person who likes to explain things. It’s sort of a way to get attention, and an easy way of doing that is mansplaining. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of mansplaining, but mansplaining is a term used for a situation where a man explains what something means, to a woman. Now, you may be asking yourself, “what is a woman?”. I’d answer, that is a very good question. By that I mean are you asking what defines femininity, or what are they literally composed of? For that may I refer you to reddit. What is Reddit, you might ask? That’s a very good question. I’d say it’s a place for people, but these days none of it is actually people. By that I mean that it’s become weaponized in a way, using very basic propaganda. What is propaganda, you might ask? Well, that’s probably something I might ask myself later today. Probably has something to do with updog.
This has always been my problem with conflating “family” with “office”. It’s tragically subjective, and usually for the worse.
Some people have garbage family dynamics, with no counseling in sight. So these same people trot this steaming pile of bad values, reactionary behavior, trauma dumping, triggers, and more right into the workplace like it’s totally normal.
In a smaller way, I also see managers emulate mom or dad to run their little piece of the company. All the while, not understanding that they themselves were horribly abused by their parents and think that behavior is completely a-okay to project onto their team.
When they also say “We’re one big family here!”. They don’t say it’s a dysfunctional one. 🌚
‘Colin Robinson; Energy Vampire’ uses that tactic
Colin is my favorite take on vampires. Hits home much harder than sucking blood lol

Nothin’ much. What’s up with you?

Translation: “everyone knows your cell phone number, and they are not afraid to use it”
Usually this means, “we don’t value work/life balance, so we want you to combine the two like we have”
