Because most people are morons and the smart ones are assholes.

The world is a shitty place in itself. :')

Judgement, No trust as people can use anything against you. There are people who will use any and everything against you and your appraisals promotions and everything would depend on this premonic notion that others have of you

Why we don’t really talk much with the people around when many of us are craving to talk sometimes.

What are we afraid of while initiating a conversation to someone at office.

What are we afraid of while initiating a conversation to someone at office.- Grapevine

I have no time for hobbies or anything considering I spend most of my time working. My only social outlet is my colleagues and I don't want to end up gossiping with them all the time. How do you guys (who are in a similar situation) manage?

What do you talk about with people at the office?

Brand Marketing Manager

I am a developer who joined the company this year as an intern and got ppo, my team fully consists of people in 40 to 50 age group with 10 to 15 yrs experience , on one note, working with such experienced people is an enriching experience but on the other hand feeling like missing out experiences that we get when we hang out with people of our age group, I don't have lot of friends and was hoping that i could get some in the company, I dont socialize a lot apart from people in office, what would you do in such a situation, whats your thoughts on me thinking like this?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I seriously would like to know how to go about asking someone you like in an office setup? Without it becoming awkward later on if handed with rejection.
Also making sure that the person being asked out does not feel creeped out.

Talking to my team members gives me anxiety. 
My brain freezes and I can't work to my fullest. 
Just a random vent

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Some days going to office just feels like I am just existing to show up. 

Anybody feeling the same way?

Just Showing Up

Yeah Same Bro, My Office lacks a culture of keeping folks motivated, it fails to give a reason for people to come to office. No office parties or informal catch-ups for over a year makes it worse.

Product Manager

I am penning this post because so far working in corporate I have realised that somehow we all are going through the same shit. Not everyone needs an adventure in life and start a business. Some of us like our stability. But with that stabilty comes loneliness. 
Everyone in corporate ( talking about bachelors) is looking for meaningful relationship with good sex. Approaching the other person in office is difficult. Half of us don’t believe in marraige but will get married to someone else’s love one day. 
I dont know what is the solution to this. More importantly I dont even know the problem. But something is missing. 
I see everyone in the morning wearing badges sipping coffee trying to gather energy just enough to survive the day. 
There is no gaurantee of job, life and happiness. 
Somehow we all have become incapable of living. We are just surving. 
These are mixed thoughts just like my morning mails.

What am I missing?

With appraisal conversations round the corner, wanted to know the most absurb feedback you’ve received from your manager?

Appraisal/feedback nonsense

Head Of Marketing

Nothing against those who love them. It's just that I would rather like to spend the time with my plans. But often, you don't always have a choice.

Is it just me or office parties don't work for you either?

People drinking every quarter in the name of team bonding :D. how wrong can it be

Hi guys, new to Grapevine and I have seen this as a common point here, on Reddit & Twitter than Indian software engineers actively hate in-office work on social media

Trying to understand why is that so. All of my college mates have joined in-office & most preferred that as well. I myself had a terrible learning experience in my remote intern & have had much more success in our startup when we are all together

I understand the pros of remote work, but why is the negative sentiment so strong suddenly? Is this a niche group echoing this

Why is work from office so hated?

I have noticed this thing that when my team works from the office my manager hardly conducts any discussions but whenever we are working from home she would call for like every other thing.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?
