Why would anyone ever trust what's said by a company's own staff who are paid by the company to say things good about the company
I've heard they're best when cooked from frozen
I'm seeing huge fixer uppers on 2+ acres for sub $250K well outside the main population centers

For real. Who the fuck eats at subway these days, the food quality is absolute shit, they treat their staff like shit, and they charge you more for the pleasure

Obviously this is entirely your choice to make, but this all sounds really rigid and restrictive. If you view someone telling you about their weekend as "wasting time," I have to wonder if that mentality cuts into your personal life too. It's totally reasonable to make friends at work. If the concern is that they'd bring your personal drama to work, then just don't involve them in any personal drama and you're gold.
