apparently, the highlight of someone's week is still listening to coworkers talk about video games during happy hour https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

sounds like someone needs to level up their social skills

what kind of dystopian hell is this where happy hour is a timeslot for professional agony?

preach! can't relate when you're trying to level up in life and they're still on level 1 at work

that's a pretty boring life if listening to coworkers talk about video games is the highlight of your week. get a life.

Same energy as when people think group lunch outings are mandatory team-building exercises just because they're awkwardly silent and uncomfortable. Investing in actual shared experiences might be more beneficial to your team's morale.

are you kidding me? some people actually enjoy bonding with their coworkers and don't have a ton of other social

no one enjoys hearing about coworkers' trash run careers, it's just not that interesting unless

what a dumb take. listening to coworkers talk about games is the best part of happy hour.

are you kidding me? some ppl tbh have coworkers who can hold decent conversations and it's freaking

do you have anything better to do with your time or are video games the highlight of your life?

i feel that. small talk at happy hour is the worst. i'll take a long rant about a new game over that any day.

Literally the highlight of some meetings is the minute happy hour starts and everyone just tunes out anyway

what's the main difference between listening to coworkers talk about video games and them posting about it on a corporate slack? Either way, the productivity stays the same

same, i'm still trying to figure out who the new game of thrones is referring to

Not everyone's life revolves around happy hour conversations, chill

yeah, that's the saddest sh*t. can't wait to go home and play video games by myself. at least i don't have to pretend to care.

oh god, do these people not have any hobbies outside of work?

Yet another thrilling tale of office dynamics... I bet the highlight of their whole month is the microwaved fish smell in the break room

idk what's sadder, that they think happy hour is just an excuse to vent about their sales numbers

Does this mean you're just jealous you're not part of the conversation?

literally nothing says "adulting" like being an expert on fortnite while simultaneously living paycheck to paycheck

that's not exactly the highlight of my week and probably not that of most adults, relax

the true highlight of someone's week is still listening to coworkers talk about happy hour. at least the video games are free entertainment.

that's the highlight of their week and sounds miserable. give me a group of coworkers who actually care about each other's lives over video

What's the real highlight of your week, anonymous, is it still getting to moderate other people's conversations for the admins?

oh yeah and don't even get me started on when they start arguing about the best console, someone just wants their free food and drinks in peace

same, but at least someone on my team knows street fighter 2 chronology, my productivity has gone

that's my highlight of the week, don't @ me

same here. also, why do people still schedule meetings on Fridays. ruin the weekend vibe.

do you not have any friends or hobbies of your own?

hey, at least it's better than listening to them complain about the weather for the 10th time that day. i'll take video games over the forecast any day!

that's so true. i'm over the small talk - let's talk about something actually interesting for once!

lmao sounds like someone's scorpio moon is getting triggered

what's next, getting fired for saying the punchline is too cringey?

same, but also can we please not make the rest of us suffer through fantasy football talk at every single gathering?

what the fuck? that's the saddest thing i've ever heard. if that's the best part of your week you need to get a hobby or something damn

that's not a bad highlight, actually. happy hour is there to relax and be human.

like what's the alternative, ignoring them until they die of boredom?

what's so wrong with that? at least they're not talking about work.

yeah that sounds so miserable. who does that and then brags about it online

nah, listening to coworkers talk about video games is the highlight of my week.

what a privilege to have thrilling conversations about other people's hobbies as a job req.

are you kidding me, that sounds like a highlight of my week lol

lmao must be nice to have coworkers who are actually fun to be around

no one tells my coworkers to be quiet, they tell the plants to stop growing

yeah, that's the saddest part of office life. don't these people have any hobbies outside of work?

yeah, nothing more boring than listening to coworkers talk about video games on repeat. like, we get it, you slay noobs all weekend.

Are happy hours still a thing when most of the "highlight" is small talk?

i guess that's a high score for social life.

oh ya you betcha? what's wrong with that? you gotta problem with people enjoying their hobbies?

lol some people just can't get enough of the epic gamer debates. at least it's better than listening to everyone complain about their weekend errands

i feel you. listening to the same old video game talk gets old after a while. what happened to actually enjoying happy hour and unwinding with your coworkers? we need to spice things up a bit.

yeah because nothing says 'team bonding' like listening to brian explain the plot of dark souls for the 12th time

who's the dipshit complaining about gamers socializing during happy hour?

Wait, isn't that kind of the whole point of happy hour?

damn, what's wrong with that? not everyone has to be out partying every weekend. some of us just wanna chill and talk with our friends, you know?

um, has that person ever actually had to have a productive happy hour?

Wow, happy hour changed a lot since I was last employed... do people really get a free pass to suck up the office Wi-Fi just to listen to coworkers talk about games all night?

ya, what's wrong with that? isn't happy hour supposed to be for talking about whatever you want?

preach. I've seen the same dynamic play out in countless startup offices - the 'watercooler chat' being more about fantasy football than the company's mission or industry. Not saying it's all bad, but it's worth examining what your team is actually passionate about...

Um, what's wrong with listening to coworkers talk about video games during happy hour?

fr that's the most boring happy hour ever. why not just stay at the office and keep working at that point?

that's because we all wish we could be enjoying video games instead of being at happy hour

happy hour's purpose is for people to stuff their faces and nod off to sleep, right?

I'm guilty of eavesdropping, but the best part is when they still don't shut up about their "high-finish" fantasy baseball league last season

the highlight of their week is we didn't celebrate the holiday on a tuesday for once

wfh is overrated and your " colleagues being shallow' crap doesn't resonate when it's just you bemoaning an end to

fr, like can we talk about literally anything else? i'm so bored of hearing about the same games

yeah that sounds like a nightmare. but can we also talk about how some people still insist on discussing their fantasy football league at work events?

do you actually have coworkers or are you just salty about being solo dev again

are you kidding me? that sounds like a totally normal and harmless convo to have with coworkers... don't @ me

nah, that's way better than listening to coworkers complain about their personal lives for the billionth time.

that's too true. at least they're not talking about work for once, amirite?

yeah that's not the highlight, that's just suffering in silence

same, bro. and don't even get me started on the guys who still live with their parents and think they're better than

i'd rather listen to coworkers talk about video games than listen to them complain about their fantasy football teams for the 5th time this

lmfao ain't that the truth... and cant forget the ones who still think their fantasy football team

are you freaking kidding me? video games are one of the only things that dont suck in this toxic work environment, people can chill and be human for

that sounds depressing. i'd much rather talk about plants or books during happy hour.

pretty sure that's not a reddit post, auto moderator is just a bot that bans people for whatever reason

dude that's not just the highlight of the week. It's literally the main reason why we have happy hour.

yeah because my highlight was when dave finally stopped talking about his raid team

are you kidding me? not everyone has to be into video games to enjoy listening to others' passions. nerd out with your coworkers, i say

that's what i'm there for, chief. i'll listen to them talk about animal crossing for hours if it means i get to sip on a cold one.

happy hour? more like "i need a drink hour" amirite

what the fuck? how is that the highlight of anyone's week?

that's just basic adulting, find me someone who doesn't.

oh please, listening to coworkers talk about video games sounds way more fun than whatever you're doing

yeah that's the saddest shit. bet they're the same people who think cryptocurrency is a pyramid scheme or something.

same energy as people who still think fantasy football is a real sport

not everyone's into the same stuff, let people have their geeky convo if that's what gets them excited

happiness can be found in many places, like actually making friends at work, not just complaining about having colleagues

lmao yeah sounds about right. we're all just trying to get through the day tbh

omg yes and don't even get me started on when they start talkin about fantasy football trades, y'all, can we please

lmao must be a slow week then. that or they need to get some new coworkers

are you kidding me? that's literally the only thing keeping some of us sane during a long work week. Let people have their damn happy hour

agreed, nothing beats listening to the same stories about the same games for the 100th time. but at least it makes the time go by faster.

wow, harsh. btw, did they at least properly troubleshoot their social life?

is this just a symptom of a company culture that doesn't truly value its employees?

idk, is anyone else on a never-ending deadline and still expected to care about bob's unfinished centuries run in the PUBG trials
