Hey all. My name is Greg, and I’m admin—I work at Reddit. Please don’t hate me—oh wait, you’re leaving already? Oh, ok. Bye. 🙁

No, seriously, my name is Greg, and I’m an admin at Reddit. If you’re still there and want to hear the rest of my spiel, then cool, because I kinda want to chat with you all. For the past few months I’ve worked on Redditgifts support, and literally talk with hundreds of you every. Single. Day—but much of that is behind the scenes. I also manage all the exchanges, write copy, create ads, etc. Basically, my work is redditgifts fun stuff, all day. I’m lucky enough to work in one of the primarily “Always Happy” spots of the reddit universe. Suffice it to say, I’m a very jolly admin.

I’ve enjoyed my time at Reddit (and also watching the world burn around me (JK, kinda). I’ve always wanted to just chat with users about internal stuff, but in a non-administrative, casual environment. I figured sooner or later, I’d have to go for it. So here I am now: going for it.

Do you have a question about Reddit? Office life? Who has the most toys on their desk? (Me.) Who has the most cups on their desk? (5days.) What games we play after work? What Alexis smells like after a few drinks?

This is my own little project, where I’ll do a weekly feature where maybe you, the users, submit questions, and I, your informant, pick one or two questions to answer officially (not counting me chatting you all up on a regular basis).

I’m just here, wanting to be a voice that can shoot the shit with you all, and maybe laugh together. I hope it’ll be cool.

Tl;dr: My goal is to be an engaging, informative admin, who on a weekly basis, will field questions you submit, and reply to them in the following week’s column. This isn’t supposed to be a PR-polished, drama-heavy endeavor. I promise to be sincere and humble, and my hope is with me as your “inside man” to Reddit HQ, we can all have a laugh.

Who is your favorite European based Admin?

— Reddit user Ocrasorm

Thanks, u/Ocrasorm, for a question that may inevitably earn me some shunning in the Reddit breakroom—and possible dislike from every European on Reddit reading this now.

I think users may be surprised to know there are several amazing Europeans on the team, like, oh hey, you,u/Ocrasorm, for starters. A mighty Irish gent with the deepest Irish slang I’ve ever come across, whose printed-out mug is taped on the wall next to my desk.

There’s u/jophuds, who also hails from Ireland, who I make a point to ALWAYS sit next to during company office hours. I do this because I know for a fact he will ALWAYS be called on to speak. By sitting next to him, when attention is turned his way, I envision people seeing me sit by him thinking “Wow, Greg must have some inside information from u/jophuds, Greg must be important, too.” I don’t think this technique is working.

There’s also u/powerlanguage (of r/thebutton fame, among other things,) a loyal subject to the Queen, with whom I regularly discuss the finer things in life, like proper water boiling temperature, modern art, and of course, Coup strategy. I’ll say this, to answer your question: My favorite European colleague is the one who brings the most European candies back to the office, after they’ve visited home.

Can you recommend a Weezer b-side for me?

— Reddit user jophuds

In reading your question, the very first song that jumped into my head was “Devotion.” Boom, period, that’s my recommended B-side. But then, I realized “Wait, you can’t just say ‘Devotion,’ because there are better representations of how amazing some Weezer B-sides are…” and this led me, as many Weezer fans know, down that dark, deep, painful hole of questioning my own sanity, mixed with emotional fruition that Weezer is the greatest band of all time (don’t argue, it’s true.)

For example: Ok, “Devotion,” great song. But if you like “Devotion,” you’ll definitely like “Mykel and Carli.” But if you like that one, you’ll love “You Gave Your Love to me Softly,” or “Waiting on You.” But what am I saying? Everyone LOVES “Susanne” and “Jamie”—those are classics. But these are just B-sides, what about unreleased material?… Welcome to my daily hell.
