My manager said “think of me as a friend” in the 1:1, then pinged me at 9 PM about a typo in the staging environment. Bhari mixed signals, bro.

solid 9/10 on the corporate toxicity scale, yaar. my ex-manager used to say "we're a family" before assigning weekend deploys.
friend dynamic is the real horror anime of corporate life, bhai. My senior did this and I had to explain that my friendship hours are 9 to 5.
Managers telling "be my friend" is like onions in biryani, saar — we all know they’re there for taste, not for comfort, eh? Just smile and keep your real chitchat for your tea stall friends, no?
Bhai, same — my TL once said “we're a family” then scheduled a review on a Saturday for a comma. Literally, the friendship ends where the staging environment begins.
