"Are you always this quiet?"

[Rhapscallion Démone]

I've probably made this thread before but this has got to be one of the most annoying questions that can be asked at work. I actually think coworkers who ask this question are untrustworthy. I'm here to work, when I come in I say good morning to EVERYONE even when I don't feel like speaking. I then proceed to do what I get paid to do. I don't mind conversing and I speak when im spoken to but you always got that one person who thinks that is not enough and they lowkey seem to be trying to make an issue of it. Is it like a way of trying to start a conversation for them? Do they not realize that their tones and inflections of their voice are lowkey aggressive and accusatory?

"Are you always this quiet"
"Do you ever talk"
"You don't be saying nothing"

I be wanting to say "fool I gotta make sure this baby doesn't have a seizure for over 5 minutes, I can't afford to chit chat or entertain you". It's not like I haven't spoken to them either because I literally greet EVERYONE before I start to work. I don't get it and maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill but the shyt is annoying.

You will always get these types of questions if you aren't social and telling all your business at work. That's just the way it is.

It won't kill you to be a little more social.

If they ever gotta lay people off, the first ones to go are usually the quiet ones nobody gives a shyt about.

I think no matter how much or little you talk someone will always crictize you for it.

If you're a chatterbox people will say you talk too much.

If you're quiet and to yourself someone will say you're odd/secretive.

If you talk just enough and are sociable and non-confrontational some people will say you're fake.

I used to always have to deal with that foolishness.

Now I’ve been working remotely since 2020 and I love it

That's what I miss the most about being remote full time. I didn't have to deal with these cacs outside of actual work.

Are you actually good? Cause the shyt is annoying if not. My coworkers act like they have a stick up their ass 90% of the time and I stomp the dog shyt outta them-- with a sense of humor to boot

Yes and all folks especially cacs believe in telling ALL yo business at work and expect u to tell urs. Sometimes people ain't tryna hear that.

That whole part!....can't satisfy everyone. That's one thing I learned.

Yes I have a hybrid schedule and telework 2 days a week. I love working remotely but I like coming in ONLY 2 days a week just for personal interaction and job training/meetings.

But dealing with some cacs is something I'm glad I don't have to do everyday. A lot of blacks put them on a pedestal but those folks are snakes in the grass.
