not to be all european speaking a language with formal and informal ways to address people, but I think one of the many evils of capitalism is making bosses and directors comfortable with being friendly and using informal with their employees who they talked to three times all in all and who are more than two ranks lower than them on the company's ladder

back in my grandpa's days it was workers who used informal towards their bosses because they had never used formal in their lives and it made their bosses uncomfortable, I think we should go back to that

#BOSS USING TU FOR ME #AND I HAVE TO USE TU FOR HIM IN RETURN THOUGH I DOn'T WANT TO #I DON'T KNOW YOU I DON'T KNOW YOU WE TALKED TWICE #AND YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CAN HIRE OR FIRE ME #I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND YOU'RE NOT MY FRIEND #babbles blabbles #vous is a mark of respect and distance #and it feels so gross when people I don't know use tu #when they're more influent or rich than me #I'll call my server a tu if they use tu for me first #I'll call my headdresser and the cashier tu if they want to #bc we're earning roughly the same money #and we come from the same neighbourhood #and they hold no power over me and my carreer #it's nice to be on a friendly level w them! if they want to! it's nice #my employer on the other hand? cursed and evil #we didn't raise the pigs together as my mom says #if you can fire me we shouldn't be friends
