I have found that keeping a dudeist state of mind in the work place has created so much tension between my co-workers. My job gets done, but I don't think while I work, nor talk about work while at work. If negative vibes find their way into my area, I refuse to respond, which pisses them off even more ha.
This creates a feedback loop of shit of them talking behind my back, me knowing and hearing them, and again not caring in the slightest, which pisses them off and creates them to talk more, me not care more, and so on. When they realized that I don't need their approval, they went insane.
To see someone happy while they're miserable was to much to handle, and a lot of them don't acknowledge me unless in a negative tone, which is returned with lack of shit giving.
Has anyone experienced this?

Hey JBone man... Mind if I ask what type of work you do?

I build wire harnesses for fork trucks.  All the wiring and plugs and sleeving and such that goes into a car engine, it's the same thing just for a fork lift.  It's easy work, but it's the same work with the same people day in and day out.  I keep my abide guide in my locker ha

I'm a supervisor and apply the way of the Dude to everything I do. It allows for a more focused mind in the chaos around me, and harmony really ties my office together.

Sounds like the problem is solving itself. That's part of the beauty of Dudeism. You stand in the middle of the storm, watching others spin themselves out of control. You didn't create the storm. You just positioned yourself to minimize its impact. The rest is on them. Let them struggle against the storm if they wish.

I have a bit of a problem when I read for the thousandth time in my Buddhist books: stay focused on one thing only. And then I start my work with double multitasking. My boss is a turbo multitasker and expects everyone to work this way. We need to go back to something and you have 5 seconds.
As for other people testing you - I think there are some days that are easier and some days that are harder. If you saw that meme with a naughty Buddhist monk and the truck, that is the reality.
