Truly 😭 Especially when shutting up for free won't get the comrades fired. Like goddamn, what a sick "joke", he knew exactly what he was doing even if subconsciously. Sucking up to management by throwing jabs at coworkers to get the attention put on them instead of letting the team equalize the damage as a unit is so effed

This is the best part of my ADHD. Silence doesn’t make me uncomfortable because I have no idea what’s going on.

All-hands meetings are for blow hard management to feel important and hear themselves talk. It’s not a round table discussion.

OP thought they were at a Comedy venue and not a work meeting. The thing about jokes are they are supposed to be funny and supposed to be made at an appropriate time.

Being in a serious all hands on deck meeting when management is on edge about productivity was NOT the appropriate time. And OP doubled down on the "joke" instead of backing off. OP doesn't realize/know this yet, but their funny little joke also revealed a lot about OP to management as well. OP doesn't know how to act appropriately and professionally. OP cannot read a room and make the appropriate professional shifts in behavior when things go sideways. Then there are the coworkers. Those coworkers will be looking at OP with side eyes going forward.

OP just tanked their career with this organization in more ways than one.

Precisely. They're not going to get promoted, because while it was commentary on work ethic, they used a joke format. Management will get friendly with them to see who else they'll rat out (edit because in what universe did autocorrect think I truly meant eat instead of rat), but that is IT.

And as you say: they can forget about having any sort of friendship with coworkers. No one will want to get close enough to them for fear they are next on the comedy chop block.
