Feeling lonely at work
Nearly everybody in my org is from a much older age group and a different cultural background. I get along well with my coworkers but I find it really difficult to make any friendships at work due to the age and culture gap. It's having a large effect on my morale as I find myself increasingly lonely at work. Anybody else experience this? Thoughts?
Yes, I felt the same.
Normal
Been there. Use it as an opportunity to learn about this older generation’s nuances. It will make you a more effective communicator.
Workplace is not a playground to make friends... try socialize in other ways
That’s a sad mentality. Some of my best friends came from the workplace.
Not everyone is as lucky as you
Find friends outside of immediate team
I was there and I could not enjoy work , after all you spend major period of time with team . Change teams !!
I feel the exact same way. I hang out mostly with another team because my team is so culturally different from me. All we really talk about is the weather and weekend plans.
The base age is 30~ in the field. I'm good at my job but I can't relate to my coworkers and visa versa. Work is where you meet people and I find it's pretty difficult for me to meet anybody my age.
Wow that seems old for a company like Twitter
Yeah it happens unfortunately. Not sure how to overcome. Most times I’ve just stuck it out until the next job came along.
change team
