Do you have to deal with a lot of office politics at your work? I'd say my job is about 75% office politics and 25% work.

One of the better things about working in Chinese offices is the lack of office politics. But in recent years I've seen it start to creep in with the "China #1 generation", but they are really bad at it and easy to catch out.

i dunno, we have a sociopath boss (he's famous lite) but he's usually travelling around the country meeting clients and stuff, in our office we're, genuinely, too busy/focused to develop complex biases against one another

...u know how it is.. japanese work culture... u don't fuck around... also u don't go home on time lol ehh

I have the luxury of owning the entirety of the function I’m in (except for the VP I report to) and just letting the work speak for itself. My boss and I get along great. He’s told the board I’m batting 1.000 since I started, which I am. Most other people either don’t know what my team and I do or don’t care, we’re the only function that doesn’t even need to be in the office…the majority of our meetings are offsite anyway.

…I think I stumbled into the perfect profession

...now featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series!

Sad to say it but this is turning into resetera (again), moderation-wise. Basically can't express anything without it being bland as toast and essentially devolving into the post form of like/dislike. And then what's the point? Might as well be blog comments. C'est la vie, I guess. :messenger_peace:

(Looks a lot better when people provide some receipts/context FWIW)

Seems even the mods ignored his post or he didn't PM them, dudes acccount is still active haha.

At least he didn't try to flame out by posting hardcore gay porn or something. Don't even know who he is, don't really look at gaming side.

Account suicides are much more fun than simple close requests. Wish people would do them more


You first, I swear I'll be right behing you! ;)


Never got the account suicide thing, was especially funny when people who did it here during the split came crawling back after being banned on Era only to be banned here again. Now that was entertainment.

I think the saddest ones were earlier this year, when a slew of seemingly cool people decided to bail just because they couldn't abide by people with different views from them posting. They weren't even deranged conspiracy theorists or anything like that. Ah well, c'est la vie.

Oh this the politics thing? Didn't really pay much attention but remember as you said seemingly cool people get banned. If they were acting like assholes though (I have no idea) then I guess you reap what you sow. I do remember there was a warning and anyone who stepped outside it was slapped.

There was a warning though, so was on them despite being big posters.

I was referring to the ones that asked for account deletions or bannings. Those that got banned I am sure deserved it. It's not like the rules or moderation here are unclear like they are in other forums.

Ah ok, thought that was all over the Politics forum. Didn't see much in Off topic.

the way i see it, the only value they saw in neogaf was the way they could get a hundred people to instantly be their best friend just by saying something exactly the opposite of acceptable.

so when some adult came into the room and said "you shitposters better stfu" they had hissy fits and bailed "myeh myeh freedom of speech", if they wanted freedom of speech they wouldn't copy/paste, verbatim, what their youtube/twitter/whatever personality du jour secreted into their ears...

I mean, jesus, you don't have to be a fucking wanker to be cool, right? You don't have to gang up on people with different views to you to be the laird of this domain. I'm posting on meta gaf and it feels kinda fumey up in here because of the shit that was once said on this board lol...

Echo chambers are great for people who are happy to go with the flow, and join in the chorus... When the chorus got cut off, some people lost their minds, sounds like a fucking HP Lovercraft bit lol

Soooo that's a no no for "Dante" then?

Maybe I'll just call him Richard Packer. That's a name a boy can be proud of.
i like 'richard' and so long as u cut that 'dick' shit right out it's great :p

Derf sounds better than fred dunnit? XP

Or "You laugh at our jokes, we laugh at you" Stay in line or you'll get dog piled by the clique if you clap back at one of our sacred cows.

seriously ive been waiting for that dude to get nicked for his low effort threads for months now.

he creates these shit tier, low effort ban bait threads just to stir shit up and start an argument. so, naturally, id go in there and call him out for it, and he'd act all coy and innocent, like he was just "discussing" video games. bull shit Marty-McFly Marty-McFly , you were trying to start an argument and you know it. and every point id make that clearly showed he was just trolling, he'd just double and triple down on his comments, perpetuating his ban bait thread, getting the argumentative reaction he wanted, and getting gaffers warned (got me one time) or thread banned, or just straight up ban banned, smh...

lol, as petty as this is, seeing him finally get what he deserves (insert joker gif) has really made my morning. thanks for staying on top of stuff like that mods.
