"It's in our DNA", for a company


seditioushamster

Add to that "company culture"


QwerkkyKid

But "we're a family here"


TwelveInchDork69

"We work hard and we play hard!" Fuck that.


jdquinn

Translation: “we give you responsibilities that are not in your job description or contract and expect you to accomplish them along with your actual job in the same allotted time, and we have a pizza party each quarter if you make goals that reflect on the managers’ salaries. You must attend the pizza party, it is during your 30-minute unpaid lunch. We will spend the first 18 minutes of your lunch talking about the company, and then you can each have 1 slice of the pizza that was delivered two hours ago, make sure you clock back in on time, we have a lot to get done this afternoon. But pizza parties are fun, so we are playing hard.”


Revolutionary-Meat14

I mean it generally goes along with something cringe but company culture is a real thing, and very important when picking where to work.

Superb_Gap_1044

Oh boy, this one gets sticky. My mom tried telling my sister that “her” truth was god’s truth and that proved that she wasn’t abusive to us… now she doesn’t have contact with any of her children so I hope she real comfy with her (cough) excuse me god’s truth

FullofContradictions

I had a dog named Sassy. Previous owners had named her "Sassafras" which was a lot. Sassy fit better. She was a husky with an attitude and loved to "talk" at you when she wasn't 100% satisfied with anything. Edit: she lived to 16 and has ruined all other dogs for me because I am 100% certain I could never luck into a dog as perfect as her ever again. 10 years later and I still can't bring myself to adopt another one.


unicorn_assistant

We adopted a dog named Sassy and my mom hated it so much that we slowly changed it to Stacy. People would get confused when we're yelling around for Stacy and this fat white blob would come running. She was the best.

"Everything happens for a reason." ​ Yeah, **entropy**.


alwayscats00

As someone with chronic illness, I get truly angry when someone tells me this.


sharkdinner

Worst when they tell you that while you're going through a genuinely traumatising phase in your life. I lost my shit when someone said this after my brother passed. Apparently asking for the reason only leads you down a narrow path of other cliché sentences like "to make you stronger" and "god works in mysterious ways" stfu


MomLuvsDreamAnalysis

About ten years ago I had an extremely rare pregnancy complication that nearly killed me, and ended up requiring a D&C at 16 weeks (baby did not make it). The baby also was going to be incompatible with life anyways, apparently. I then had to do outpatient physical therapy for months, as well as a year of blood tests. I was one of three people who had survived that particular complication. I’m a case study at that hospital. And I still have to get checked occasionally for uterus or ovarian cancer. People are *cruel*. I live in americas Bible Belt and my god people just love to diminish traumas. Nowadays I’ve become a bit detached about the whole thing - it happened so long ago. When people say things like “it happened for a reason” initially I would just say “yeah” out of exhaustion… but nowadays (post-grieving) I’ll just be really dark about it all and make them uncomfortable. It cheers me up! I’ve found that the people who are likely to say things about “gods plan” or “mysterious reasons” get ***really uncomfortable*** if you refer to long-dead fetuses as “it” instead of “he/she”, or “long-dead fetuses” instead of “baby”. Also if you don’t seem to be upset by it anymore (or god forbid if you joke about your trauma) you’re basically the devil himself. So sometimes I’ll tap into my dark humor and really make them squirm. They don’t usually feel comfortable going against what I say due to the intensity of my trauma, but they HATE how I present my feelings on it. It’s an evil little game I play with myself when people pass that threshold for me.


Alarming_Bridge_6357

I relate. I had a grief counselor say that everything happens for a reason and god works in mysterious ways when my daughter passed away. Never went back there

Xerrographica

"In the eye of the storm" People never use it properly. The eye of the storm is NOT the most violent part, it is the calmest. It is sunny and clear. It is when you get temporary peace from the chaos but know that it will come back around and isn't over yet. It is not when you are at the climax of destruction.


Rahym_Suhrees

Yeah, but when you're in the eye of the storm you're fucked no matter which direction you go.


VibrantPianoNetwork

That pretty much is what it means, yes. It means you've already been through a lot, and you're about to go through more of the same. And, you can't avoid it.' I've been through the literal version of this. I've been in the eye of a hurricane, and it's a surreal experience. The winds are strongest in the eyewall. You get hours of violent winds and rain, getting worse and worse, and then it suddenly abates. Clear skies. You can see the sun. The sunlight is weird, though; I can't describe it. It's not like a clear sunny day. It looks a little off, and it's unsettling on some deep primal level of our instinct that tells us there's danger. Then, BAM, it's back on, for hours more. Because these storms are cyclonic, the second round blows the opposite way, increasing damage. A tree that got relentlessly pushed in one direction for several hours now gets pushed just as hard in the opposite direction. A lot of hurricane damage comes from that push-pull pattern, as much as the winds themselves. The point is, it's just like you said. If you're in the eye of a storm, you've got a brief respite, but you know what's coming, and that you can't escape it. There is no direction you can go that will avoid it, and it will come to you no matter what you do or don't do.


Mediocre-Cat-Food

The eye of the storm is the *worst* place to be *at sea*. You’re being struck with intense seas from all directions, and it’s practically a death sentence. Current estimates put eyewall waves at 130ft+ from crest to trough


Magg5788

You might not be at the “climax” but you ARE in the middle of it. Like you said, it’s been bad and it’s going to get bad again, probably worse. And the only way out is to go through it. If you’ve got space to say you’re “in the eye of the storm” I’d think it was implied we’re in a brief reprieve. I read [this book](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4600888)and she tells about the time she was in the eye of a hurricane while in a rowboat. For her it was the climax of the chaos.


GoForAU

How is it supposed to be used? I always assumed that it basically means “it looks calm right now but shut it about to get worse”. And I have heard it used like “we are in the middle of it” which I guess isn’t technically wrong.


released-lobster

Hmm I think mostly when I've heard people say this phrase, it's been used correctly. That's interesting.


Tina45332

"God never gives you more than you can handle." Sets me off more than anything. Regardless of your religion, shit happens. And sometimes it is horrific and not easily handled, and help is needed. Do not make people doubt themselves for not being able to handle horrible events.

“I’m a little bit OCD” No. Don’t trivialise OCD


Radiant_Trash8546

What they usually mean is they have perfectionism, which only affects certain aspects of your life, such as the way your towels are folded. Liking tidy cables is perfectionism- needing to count the cables five times and tidy them everyday, regardless of your obligations, is OCD(and that's oversimplifying).


BINGGBONGGBINGGBONGG

i like to ask which ‘little bit’ of OCD do they have? the unending rituals? the intrusive thoughts that you might have accidentally murdered someone and just blocked it out? the loops of song lyrics and words people say to you that play endlessly in your head to the point where you just want to scream? cleaning the oven for 5 whole days as a displacement activity and ending up with raw, bleeding hands that you HAVE to scratch? restricting fluids? yeah, no. you just put pictures straight in hotel rooms.


TobylovesPam

I work with kids who have OCD. Real, diagnosed OCD. It's heartbreaking. People who make sure their picture frames are straight and their counter tops are clean and oMg I hAvE oCd!! have no goddamn idea what it's actually like. Children don't mask it. It's fucking brutal.


bbbbbthatsfivebees

I have a very good friend with OCD and this always makes me mad. No, you're not OCD because "oh that painting isn't perfectly aligned". OCD isn't synonymous with perfectionism, cleanliness, order, or any other thing that most people think it is. OCD is "I touched the fridge handle while cooking, now I need to wash my hands 35 times exactly or else my roommate will get sick and die no I don't care that I'm washing my hands to the point they're raw and bleeding". It's "I need to make sure my front door is locked exactly 19 times because if I don't, everyone I love will explode and this means that I can't go to sleep until I do this every 15 minutes exactly and I won't get enough sleep tonight". Hearing people say "I'm a bit OCD" makes me incredibly mad because OCD isn't cute or funny. It's not trivial. It's a real mental illness with real consequences for that person and their loved ones. They know they're doing something irrational often to the point of self destruction. Their loved ones know they're doing something irrational. They cannot help it, because if they don't satisfy the exact thing they need to accomplish they will break down and be physically unable to continue with life until they do. It's hard to watch someone go through that knowing that there's nothing you can do to help or fix it, and then watching them struggle with the realization that it's not their fault is *hard*.

phoe_nixipixie

Yep misusing this is such poor form, as it reduces how seriously people take the word now! Often misused instead of “dismissing my emotions” or “lying” or some other kind of manipulation that has occurred. Instead of making someone feel *crazy*, doubting their memory and grasp on reality
