I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

To be fair, my workplace is full of people that socialize 75% of the workday and constantly reply with “I’ll get around to it as soon as I can.”

…and then don’t.

And then I have to scramble to do their job when the task suddenly becomes more short-fused.

Thank gods I retire in a year.

I could be the bigger person and remind them about it, but it’s not my job to babysit peers and/or supervisors.
