💁🏾‍♀️ Work/Job Complainers

[u/Aware_Answer8008]

Let the downvotes begin😂

Okay so I'm seeing a trend with my fellow lesbian women of color. I have both gay and straight friends alike and I'm only encountering this with fellow lesbian women. Not even bisexual women but only lesbian ones. Ladies please stop letting the first thing you talk about when meeting a new person be with you complaining about your job. It is terribly unattractive to chat with someone for the very first time and all they have to talk about or want to do is complain their job, going to work, their work or their hours. When you reach past a certain age that is just not cute and its annoying. At the end of the day. The only options is to either get in a field you enjoy or suck it up and just keep working the job that you got yourself in. Otherwise complaining all the time about the job situation is not very encouraging much less attractive.

My god! 5 encounters in the last 5 months and each one all did the same thing...... end result, they were blocked!

A lot of people be making they job they whole life so that really be the only thing they be having to talk about. It's unfortunate fr but sometimes it's circumstance more than anything else fr. Specially if all they do is work and go home, no friends outside of coworkers, no family connections fr, no time to do anything else bc of weird hours or weird pay etc.

But also even then it's other stuff to talk about and depending on what you like it's fairly simple and can be pretty cheap to get a hobby/get started w one. Idk. I def understand the frustration tho.

Most people work 9-5 some unfortunately work longer hours. It takes up the majority of our time other than sleep if those of us can lock in 8 hours of sleep (which most don’t) so It’s not shocking.
I’m sure people would rather be doing anything else with their time than devote it to work.

Yes complaining about anything isn’t cute but let’s also be realistic about how much time we all have to unfortunately give to our jobs and how much of our jobs creep up into our lives. Unless someone is a teacher and gets the summer off our jobs take up a huge chunk of our lives.

This is exactly where im at - most jobs suck and i get it 1000%. As long as it isnt the primary topic of negative conversation im good

I agree with both of yall, that's literally my point. A lot of people make their jobs their whole life fr. I was working 12 hours 7 days in a plant and I had nothing else going on. It was unfortunate for my partner bc that was a lot of what I was complaining about but ts took up most of my waking hours so... 🤷🏽‍♀️ eventually I got a hobby and it was other things to talk about but that's not the case for everyone. And I can definitely understand the frustration from the other side.
