One of my reports has accidentally sent out full bonus details for all operational managers to below board level to a fuck of a lot of people who shouldn’t see them (including a lot of those operational managers). He is devastated.

Going to be a fun day!

My colleague has suggested donating to a homeless charity instead of doing an office secret Santa this year. It’s a great idea but lots of the people responding to the email can’t use Reply so have Reply All’d loads of responses of, “Great Idea!” and “I’m in!”

No point donating to charity if you don’t tell all your colleagues that you do it

Nearly me.

There is another email group for timesheets that people can’t reply to properly either. I quite often know how many extra hours Maureen and Janice have worked that month.

I feel like have an Irk Backlog so might be here more often than is healthy.

I’m starting irky little arguments with people about allowing students into our workroom to collect forms and use photocopiers.

It’s partly a GDPR-paranoia and partly just wanting sanctuary from them.

The Friday morning pastry delivery continues to mock me. No matter what I try I always get to the kitchen too late and miss out. This morning I even got to the kitchen 10 minutes ahead of the delivery window and waited, however after waiting 20 minutes I was told the pastries weren’t coming today - the first time they haven’t been delivered since I joined 8 months ago. Never going to get one.

My boss made a spreadsheet (think he’s been on an Excel course) to show that the workload in our team is evenly distributed, but he’s applied arbitrary weightings to different stuff to very blatantly force the numbers into looking even.

Currently on a call with him trying to explain his system and someone’s pointed out that he’s mis-assigned a couple of things to the wrong people and so his fudged numbers are wrong. The whole thing’s falling down around his ears in real time and it’s glorious.

The company got everyone advent calendars and people are complaining that the chocolates are too small and the company got the cheapest ones they could (which they did). My favourite thing about this complaint is that I get to hear it multiple times every single work day between now and Christmas.

Sending an email with tonnes of screenshots and highlighted bits in the order that things need to be done and attaching all the previous emails showing who gets what and when.

Then being asked to go through it while they write it all down on a scrap of paper.

‘What do you do first?’
‘As per my email’
‘Where do I find it’
‘As per the file path laid out in my email’
‘Who gets it’
‘As per the email I attached to the email I sent you’
etc
etc

Willing to sell the film rights to this is anyone is interested?
