That guy at work that everyone loves
There is this dude who gives smiles to our faces literally every day. He's super funny, talkative and intelligent and he always cracks the best jokes, while also making sure he offends no one. So basically most of the time he just makes jokes on his own expense. My colleague associates and I are really enjoying his energy but there are a few associates who are bitter from their life sucking so much and one day just bursted on him all angry and type shi and it just made me feel bad for him. He didn't really know how to take it as he isn't the person to fight back and I really wonder how to make this right because the last thing I want is not to have him or hist positive energy around anymore.
another example of a cuck ruining all the happiness for everyone else
is his name perhaps Waldon
hey I know a Walden like that
no it's not Waldon, but I don't wanna tell you anything else because of privacy
I was actually asking Ellen but ok
No his name is not Walden. It's Brad, and I hate his guts.
Oh I thought you were talking about the TL sorry, his name is Allan
I've never had a person to joke with at work and I really envy you guys, even if you don't have him anymore at least you did at some point :/ It's really hard to make an atmosphere when everyone's so bitter all the time
Well if it makes you feel any better, I find it overrated, peace at work is much better
yes it is so overrated, better without it than having a person who overdoes it and can't shut up
It isn't about whether someone likes peace more than jokes, it's about helping a man
you might just be in love with him because I've never felt like that for someone who is just a friend
bro wtf
I'm not g^y I just like a funny person around me
I don't knoww, all points to it being true :DD
Honestly, it’s not unusual for someone who spreads positivity to occasionally rub others the wrong way, especially if they’re going through a rough time.
That is so true
yeah, you have to mess with someone having a bad day at least once
His workplace sounds very lucky to have someone like him from the text
I don’t know, sometimes the “funny guy” can overdo it, and not everyone finds it charming. Maybe the bitter associates just hit their breaking point.
If the dude’s not the confrontational type, maybe you or someone else can step in and address the situation with those associates. Sometimes people don’t realize how much their negativity affects the overall vibe until someone calls it out.
That's such a mature opinion
people are not that easy to talk to, this isn't a cartoon :D
You're right, the person who wrote the topic could've use the energy he used to make this useless post to actually help him
Sounds like the kind of person every workplace needs. Maybe just have a one-on-one with him to let him know how much his presence is appreciated. Knowing that people value him might help counteract the negativity from those other colleagues.
like I sad in the previous comment, life isn't that easy, people don't care about others... but good luck with that
100% agree
It’s heartbreaking when someone so positive gets unfairly targeted. Maybe you and your colleagues can let him know how much you appreciate his energy? A little reassurance can go a long way in making him feel valued and supported.
People who spread good vibes often unintentionally become targets because their light shines on others’ insecurities. Maybe organizing something fun, like a small appreciation note or moment for him, could help remind him that his presence matters?

I've had a guy like that at work, he was super nice, calm, but very extroverted and making sure I p^e a little from laugh every time I encounter him. There was this TL who's wife was cheating on him and he was super obnoxious, so he didn't like that he was so good with us and lashed out at him so badly that he just decided to quit. Never did I see him again in my life. He does send cards to us occasionally though..
