@jobaba: I just left a comment in your reps, saying "ancient post, which is why I'm commenting here" - and then I realized I'd already replied to you on the thread back in 2014! Too funny.

Anyway, you can ignore that. And I would message you privately, but your profile is locked for non-friends.

Haha. I just checked their posting history (out of curiosity), and they haven't been on the forum in about 5 years... they did post about 3 years after this thread, saying they were "lost" and had no education or career. So it seems they unfortunately hadn't found their path, and also apparently dropped out of school too. Oops.

And fwiw, librarian is still a terrible suggestion for them/anyone like them. At least public or school librarianship, both of which require a Master's Degree + working comfortably with strangers every single day. Maybe archives or cataloging/tech, if they had the education. I've been a public librarian for 16+ years now, and hate the stereotypes that still linger about our profession. We're not the quiet old biddies people seem to think we are. Usually quite the opposite, in fact.

I wish that were true. But if it's a woman manager than it's frowned upon not engaging with senseless babble with co workers. Participating in Secret Santa and potlucks.

When I first started in accounting it was good morning, get to work, I'm going to lunch, back to work and good evening. You didn't have time to talk.

Now with the improvement of technology and social media, it created opportunities for some down time. Every manager I had that was a woman I had issues with over "not engaging with co workers". I'd always say I'm here to work, not to have friends. I wasn't rude to them, but wasn't interested in senseless babble.
