I recently took on a job in a butchery in a large wholesaler. I work with guys who learned the trade and all. The work is okay, it's menial, but I don't mind it. I hate having to be the "new guy" so you're automatically the butt of jokes, but I will bite through that.
The unfortunate thing is that the workplace is filled with the type of macho guys who constantly have to make annoying loudmouth rude jokes to each other, constantly make jokes about other employees, bragging, call each other gay etc. Basically constantly proving their "masculinity", and I feel like I have to participate and laugh along as to not feel shut out.
I'm not gay, and certainly I like a joke every now and then. But I feel like these types of environments just kill me. I find the jokes unfunny and the behavior unruly, but that's unfortunately the case in many workplaces.
I'm motivated to get out of this job asap when I find something better.
Anyone have to deal with this type of workplace?
