Everyone in the circle, consecutively: “A little bit about yourself!”

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 37 points 5 months ago

Ah, so they deserve it.

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 6 points 5 months ago

Okay, this got me to laugh.

My autistic ass would be nervous as hell but wanting to infodump at the same time.

Good news! Everyday it's a new circle of people, you're always the last person to introduce yourself and the day ends with small talk where you are expected to remember things and names that were mentioned before.

You go first. If you only share a little, everyone else shares a lot. If you share a lot, everyone else only shares a little.

Always volunteer to go first. You set the tone, and you get to sit in judgement while everyone else wigs out worrying about what they will say.

Oh no...

As soon as you're done the scene repeats. Welcome to hell...

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

But first, play the name game! Everyone take turns trying to remember Everyone else's name!

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

First person, introduce yourself. Second person, introduce yourself and first person. Etc.

You'd end up acquainted with the people so it wouldn't be so bad after a while

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago (2 children)

At least it isn't that horrific game where you have to remember and repeat the name and fact about everyone whose turn came before you. That shit was torture.

Surprise second round; hope you listened in the first one

Telephone? I remember 1 job that did introductions that way in training, and it only kinda made sense because it was for being a relay operator. Repeating back what someone said verbatim was the whole job.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 11 points 5 months ago

All 100 billion of you.

I run training sessions twice per week, we start and end each session like this. Once you learn to trust the group, its a pleasant experience!

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 30 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Found the morning star!

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

🥰

Absolutely!

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Please don't take this personally, but fuck you.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Sadist.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Good lord, hell no, what are you training people in?

[–] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago

Training the other demons I assume
