One of my new coworkers laughs at everything I say, no matter how corny, and acts impressed at every topic I bring up, no matter how insignificant. I've about had it. He outright says "amazing!" for things no one would ever say that about just because I brought it up. He's not being sarcastic. Yesterday, he laughed hysterically at something I said that wasn't even a joke. It seems that he didn't understand it, assumed it was a joke, and laughed like he was satisfying my expectation.
It's clear that either he's the most boring or easily-impressed person on the planet or he's treating me like a brown-noser would treat his boss. I am not his boss!
I have a couple of co-workers do the same thing on a regular basis, that know that I think they are kiss asses.
They shouldn't even be employed there, are dead weight and produce little to nothing, and back stab people constantly.
I miss my old CAREER, vs the odd places I've had to work at the last 5 years after a major places shipped my job out.
I've worked at places they would have walked these guys straight out the door from some of their BS, I should be looking for another job I imagine.
I'm really not doing what a I should be these days, just an off shot of it.
I try not to be bitter about it, still making pretty decent money and the wife has recovered also pretty well, after a similar meltdown of the economy in general years ago.
Some people walking around doing that shit are pretty much dead weight more or less.
I really should move out of there, the place is poorly managed, the engineers are very young, ask one of the said bullshit artists for information that can;t hit his ass with both hands.
It's almost amusing to watch it.
