God yes. The obnoxious, extroverted sales monkeys are a menace. We’re finally getting some new walls at our workplace so we can work in peace as non-sales, actually-doing-work employees.
Oddly enough that isn’t quite my experience. I went to university immediately after finishing school and was pleasantly surprised at how civilized and mature everyone at university was, compared to just a few months ago at school, even though many of them were still teenagers. It’s something about the environment of school that causes so many young people to behave awfully.
in the workplace yeah the worst I’ve seen another teenager do is have their headphones in while sweeping. When they don’t have a wage tied to them however…
If their music is too loud to hear the fire alarm or other alarms. There were places that I worked that hearing an alarm would save your life. When I was a supervisor I should have said no ear buds, but that’s a bit ridiculous. So I only got on a person’s case if they had both in, a compromise. This way the teen sweeping can listen to their music and hear a hazard alarm if it happens. Workplace safety is important.
Who the fuck behaves like that in a workspace?
Sales people!

I’d guess the ones being assholes didn’t go to university.
