    A fun fact about myself is that I hate being forced to tell other people fun facts about myself

    This legit looks like a backrooms area and HR is some sort of SCP that just felts the fuck out of you while laughing like a white valley girl or gay guy.

      How can you tell? Is it the balloon?

      I never notice these things… Is there a game on the internet where you have to detect ai images

        partially the balloon, but also the “mandatory fun” poster is way too on-the-nose - nobody working in HR is self-aware enough to do that

      Nah. It’s Two Truths and a Lie. So I’d be like:

      • “Every Monday I come to work I want to kill myself.”
      • “Every Tuesday I come to work I want to kill myself.”
      • “Every Wednesday I come to work I want to kill myself.”

    tell us a fun fact about yourself

    I love these questions because I use it as an excuse to “trauma dump” things to the group and act like it’s the most normal thing ever.

    of course none of it was true, but man…did I sell it enough that they never asked the groups I was in those kinds of questions again.

    example

    I found out when I was 7 that I was able to dislocate my shoulder when my father yanked on my arm hard enough when he caught me sneaking food. it was cool while I was in school because I could get out of gym and not have to explain all the bruising on my back in the locker room. I can’t do it anymore as it’s just too painful to pop it back into place. 😁

    everyone else 😶😬😐😟

      “I learned how to lay bricks when I was 10 because when mum hung herself dad made us brick up the closet where she did it so we would never be able to go in there where the demon who made her do it would do it to us too. My favorite part was mixing the cement with the trowel, it’s so satisfying.”

      “Hey did I tell you guys about that time I got arrested?”

      “That wasn’t on your background check? 😬!”

      “I got it expunged 😉”

    Scary, but not quite as bad as: Meeting invite: no title, later this morning, attendees are your manager and HR. (That is, layoffs.)

      My wife was laid off at the begging of the month and it went something like this. The HR girl went to her table and asked her and other coworker to come with her to a meeting room. In the meeting room was other HR person who asked the three of them to sit and told them that they were laid off, including the HR lady that came for my wife.

      I have also had this one be 1. Someone has died in the office. 2. You senior manager / director was fired for corruption and HR wants to question everyone for involvement.

      When I was fired my boss just told me to come with him for a minute. Knew right then I was being fired. He lead me down to the conference room and HR is sitting there only cementing my thought.
