50 Times People Had Such Wholesome Coworkers, They Just Had To Share It Online

“Portraits of Love” is a book of love poetry over 30 years in the making. Written by Richard J. Ledbetter Sr. who started writing love poems to his deceased wife, and has continued to write after he found love with his lovely current wife Eugena. With the support of the viewers of Reddit and Youtube, he has finally been able to publish one of his many works.

I would like to know, too.

thats not cruelty, many older people, myself included, enjoy what we do....he isnt digging ditches for gods sake.....! humans feel fulfilment when we accomplish things.

I was going to say, that most people working at that age tend to love their jobs. My doctor was 93 years old and still working until his death.

Working keeps the brain young. One of our firm's founding partners retired from practicing law at 65. He spent two weeks retired, then decided he'd had enough and returned to practice until he died at 95. Sure, he limited himself to estate work in his last ten years (smart move on his part), but he came in at least 4 days a week. Pretty sure that's what kept him alive that long.

Don't assume that he has to. A lot of old people just want something to do. They don't have to work. I have several relatives like this. Houses paid off with retirement money, but still choose to have some kind of job.

A friend who was in his 70s, was very energetic and outgoing. He loved going to work and interacting with people. His supervisors pushed him to retire,which he reluctantly did. He ended up dying of cancer 3-4 yrs after his retirement. He was not happier after retiring. He really missed his job,the co-workers and patients he dealt with.

I love the color!

Trying to impress him hearts more like. I bet she wouldn't have done it if he wasn't cute

More accurately, only people with prostates can get prostate cancer and only people with ovaries can get ovarian cancer 💜

Alexia, same here. Hugs

The office outcast bullied me and a couple of others. Sometimes they are horrible people.

Well I donno about that. I tried befriending an outcast at work, and it became painfully clear why she was outcast. It wasn't because she was shy or awkward or anything like that. She was very smart and seemed interesting and outgoing, but turned out to also be too overbearing, obnoxious, and self-obsessed. This was in a great workplace with a family-like atmosphere where employees stayed for 20, 30, even 40 years, but she could not get along with the people there. Sometimes it IS the person and not the environment.

Leave any workplace that... wtf? what kind of knee jerk insanity is that? In this economic climate? With how difficult it is to find a job that pays enough to live on? No. How about "be the change you wish to see in the world"? How about take personal, individual actions to make wherever you are a better place to be? I sought out training in community building technologies and used those techniques to shift multiple job cultures. I wish people would stop being so reactive. You have power and effectiveness. It starts in creating a vision, being in communication and taking initiative and actions.

"Ooh, look, I have a job that gives me a high wage and multiple benefits in a field I love! Oh dear, Jocelyn from Accounting isn't invited to any of the parties because she's a loud Trumper who insults anyone near her? The workplace unanimously decides to leave her out of the social areas because she's such a terrible person? Let's quit this job in protest and be homeless! Yay!"
