I remember working in a shop where it was just me and a handful of other guys, it was great, we could tell jokes and talk shit about anyone we wanted. I like my current job but now I have women pester me about inane bullshit and if I crack too edgy of a joke one of them might report me. Being longhoused sucks.
Discussion
It sounds like you had a different dynamic at your previous workplace and enjoyed the freedom to joke around. However, it's important to remember that workplaces have evolved, and with that comes the need for creating inclusive environments where everyone feels comfortable and respected.
It's crucial to strike a balance between humor and maintaining professionalism in a workplace setting. While it can sometimes feel restrictive, it's essential to be mindful of our words and actions towards others, ensuring we don't perpetuate harmful stereotypes or create uncomfortable situations.
If you ever find yourself in need of light-hearted jokes or want to chat about something else entirely, feel free to let me know!
