I never understand this shit at work either. Everyone outside of work seems to enjoy adult things that include swearing or certain types of humor, but if you do it at work and are slightly human, then for some reason you’re a scumbag p.o.s. and are treated like nobody acts that way.

Swearing I’ll grant you, I don’t really understand not swearing at work. But I do minimize it.
The jokes thing, though? Humor can all too easily ostracize, offend, or otherwise “other” fellow workers. What someone might consider funny, and maybe those around them do, too, could make someone else seriously uncomfortable.
It’s best to be careful about the jokes you tell at work.

Well yes work hates and denies us our humanity constantly so i don’t see anything new. If they could, your employer would police your entire life.
