What's your juicy work drama that you just want to tell us about?

I mean, I was all, ok juicy work drama, juicy work drama. Then I got to the last sentence, I think that goes beyond work drama.

I checked out at "it's not like school" but you got me to go back and read, yikes

That moment when I'm disqualified from a venting question for going over the meter.

It’s actually a pretty serious problem. It’s not so much that you’re disqualified, as that you’re ineffective at being heard.

This is a serious problem. Have you considered listening to great speeches, or rap, or poetry?

Not in particular, no. In what way are you suggesting I'd use that?

Listen to lots and lots of them. Absorb their patterns, to adopt those patterns, to improve your own communication.

Oh, that. I've tried that with other things. I'm finding it difficult, perhaps it's my mind going a different way.

Wat

You two said it was "beyond work drama" and came across like it was unfitting as a result. Are we only expected to describe events that go below a certain glass ceiling of conflict?

came across like it was unfitting as a result.

That was all you. We neither said nor implied any such thing.

The first comment you replied to contrasted things that seemed "beyond work drama" with the "juicy work drama" they were looking for.

Correct.

And that isn't supposed to send the message some of you think it's unfitting?

Also correct.

Wut

"What you just said goes way beyond the original topic" does not at all imply "shut the fuck up about it". That's an implication you created out of your own subconscious biases.

The discussion we're having right now has strayed pretty far from the original topic, but I'm not disapproving of it.
