Not necessarily a cringe opinion, but a little cringe to post it on LinkedIn and potentially cringe if you see one of your coworkers liked it on LinkedIn

The cringe version of this post would be “what dating my coworker taught me about B2B sales or cold-calling scripts.”

The poster isn’t wrong, it’s just that dating in the workplace ran into the buzz saw of HR and anti-fraternization policies that sought to deter sexual harassment.

I don’t think it’s cringe to meet your partner at work. I think it’s slightly cringe to look for a partner at work, and solidly cringe to post on LinkedIn about looking for a partner at work as a life hack or to like a post about that knowing your coworkers can see your likes

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.
