That is fucking eyewatering I have to admit. Surely you can get that fucked over?

#2727

it was initially fuschia…yeah, it won’t stay. Think people lost the plot a bit trying to colour code environments and just went too far. Far too far

#2728

we had something similar for a few of our apps many many years ago - the main one was grey (exciting!) but the spinoffs were different colours to make it obvious they were different. bright green and fluorescent pink weren’t the best choices though :confused:

(should note I was a mere user at this time and I was not responsible for the colour choice, just had my eyes ruined instead)

Guess I get to be the first with this one this year:

Christmas tree up in the breakout area. Before bonfire night ffs.

I work with a guy who says “ladder up” or “ladder back” about 15 times in every conversation. He’s really lovely but based on this irk I’m starting to hate him

Does it ladder back up to the brand.

Does it ladder up to the overall message.

What it ladders back to is…

Ladder up ladder up ladder up ladder up

FUCK OOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFF

I was thinking window cleaner.

I would love to have a window cleaner who said this.

You could try introducing a buzzword for the opposite to his ladder?

That’s true, it could snake us back to square one

It might actually snake down the overall message

Etc

He’d love it, in a meeting the other week a client mentioned an awful buzz word and laughed about it, he laughed too…and now he’s put it into two presentations I’ve seen so far. Fucking loves them.

Then it’s your mission to get him saying as many ridiculous things as you can

My third job (the stupid gig economy one) is getting towards two months with no pay and no communication about what the problem is and when it’ll be fixed. Everyone angry.

#2740

Aww, I missed a Balonz visit. Why on earth did they make you come here?

#2741

Stating the obvious, but two months with no pay means it isn’t a job, it’s slavery.

You work in a creative industry? Friend of mine worked for a music publication people on here have heard of (NB: not this one) and didn’t get paid for months, partly because they were useless and disorganised and partly because there were no better paying options elsewhere that would have given similar experience.

Conference and I am back this Friday for an awards do but I got the short straw and my hotel is at fucking East Midlands Airport which is 15 or so miles out. Mother fuck!

(worst of all it’s black tie and I think closing my trousers may be an issue)
