…………I’m almost too afraid to ask but minion profile pic on teams?

microsoft teams, for organizations that use microsoft office enterprise as their productivity suite

it's like a slack. actually, it's like a discord, but for work lmao

and i've never met more overly solicitous, socially exhausting, in-my-fucking-way people as those who use these profile pics (as graduate student researchers):

#inquiry #Anonymous #academic jerky #minion bro literally had me believing he was a new supervisor with how much he talked and put himself everywhere #and then i learned he was in second/third year #the thing w grad school is you have people from all walks of life - be it jumping in straight after ug or coming in mid-30s w wife+kids #even if someone's younger than you or whatever; if they've been around long enough to be a senior student you might wanna take cues #wait. he's second year at most based on his schedule #and not to mention entrepreneur bro. who is a huge sweetheart but i take 3 1d4s of psychic damage every time i read an email from him #or must sit in a meeting where he talks for more than 20 mins cumulatively #so... buzzwordy #so much talk before thinking #so much car stereo advertising (as this other supervisor once roasted their collective reports) #not to mention the other psychic damage dealt to me by this 1st year i was mentoring #literally just finished advising his master's project #and he had the audacity to offer to help me look at my code #which his reasoning was very nice but it's like... someone less professionally controlled than me would put him on their shitlist for life #sigh. i find engr guys to have very strange social skills overall #my casual social skills are lacking but that's nbd #anyways follow me for writing updates and bitching about academic professionalism ig
