Serial Serious Replyer I recently got some mild power at work.
Nothing big, just some new responsibilities that have now put me in the targeting reticles of the 
s working from home because now I'm some sort of liason for a small team.
This remote work shit has to stop.
I don't know what part of their culture has taught them that this is acceptable, but they wield the pinging feature on teams with more power than even /r/drama at its most cavalier. I don't think they even know what my job is, they'll ping me simply for existing in (getting forcefully added to) a group chat and ask me to do things that not only do I not have the power to do, but is not even part of my department. Sometimes they'll ping me for something that they're own department should be doing. I haven't talked to any of them in my life. But I can't stop hearing the ping in my headphones, they'll do it at all hours of the night, they'll do it while I'm in other calls.
They'll be a superpower by 2025 solely by pinging the UN until they give them a spot on the security council just to shut them up.
Its actually funny but I genuinely can't comprehend what taught them to behave like this lmao. I want remote work to stop just so they're forced to come over to my desk (if they even know who I am and where I sit) and face me with courage.

If I knew pinging whitebois on teams would make them sneed this much, I would have started ages ago.
I am starting to make a list of some of the annoying white c*nts in my teams and making sure I ping them like this for no reason.
JAI HIND

I actually feel better knowing that I can share (inflict) this with (on) others.

sadly there is only one guy from burgerland in the team, (rest all are finnish and they are all cool) I am gonna target him. He has this smug sense of superiority even though hes two levels below me in the hierarchy

He's American, how could he not have a smug sense of superiority?

Many people from cultures with a sense of respect mistake actually being friendly and casual with superiority.
Some act like you're out of line for daring to propose a solution in a team rather than just staring slack jawed at a superior waiting for instructions.
showing literally any initiative at all makes you management material in these environments as long as you still do what you're told

do they? I don't think so, someone with an inflated ego maybe. Office politics are everywhere, whichever the culture is.
if you are referring to what I said about that burger webshit, I sad it because I've observed him talking like a douche to some of the juniors as though he knows everything, which he doesn't. When they add me to the call and I correct him he goes silent and then tried to backtrack.
I call it tech bullying, and he does that to a cute Finnish girl in the team which is totally unacceptable

There's a nonzero chance me encouraging you has negatively impacted the experience of somebody within two degrees of separation from me lmao
