Oh, everyone but themselves. Some people have next to no self-awareness, you see. And if you have no clue what I'm talking about, chances are you're one of them.
Of course, which is kind of my point here. But your rhetorical question only works if the situation is very specific, which is weird given that - as you point out - you have no insight into my situation at work. To summarize, you have no case.
You see, sometimes people use expressions like that in an informal, half-joking manner. But I'm starting to get a feeling for why you seem to be taking this conversation so personally...let's do something else now, shall we?
I appreciate your comment. I wasn’t trying to be all “you should work, kids these days!” Or anything like that. Obviously I could have just ignored them, but sometimes we gotta die on the hill.
I think a lot of people don’t have a good working environment, and this hit home for them.
I get that people space out. Everyone does it at some point. My takeaway from all this is that I’m really glad I work with a group of people who respect each other and really want to help their fellow coworkers do the job they’ve been paid to do, so we all can pay rent.
