I’ve scheduled a call for 5.30 am next Monday so my American boss won’t dial into it but the absolute madman has gone and accepted the invitation anyway.

Been WFH all morning and she’s just getting up for the occasional potter round then going back to sleep. Less said about the other one the better.

Yes you do

(side note, I do respect that people have allergies, phobias, and/or cultural reasons for not wanting to be around dogs. Fine in a small office where you can be sure everyone is okay but get why it’s a no go for large organisations)

2/3 office cats would be a godsend around here. They could stop having to pay pest control

I think you shouldn’t be allowed to email someone if you’re working within 10meters of them

I worked somewhere (pretty sure I have told this before) where they had ‘eyemail Fridays’ where you weren’t allowed to email anyone in your building.

Usually it’s for insurance reasons. Pretty much anywhere where a lot if manual labour gets done can’t have them in case the dog escapes into the warehouse/production line etc and starts being a knob.

Might just do this tbh

  • I would like to run my own fire engine pizza company where I dress up a bit like a fireman and cook and serve pizza
  • I would not like this

This is a key one for me. As a consultancy we bill by the hour and our utilisation % is really important, so why when I’m doing 50-60 hour weeks do I not get the benefit of that in my pay given the company is directly receiving that in terms of income, and by accelerating through projects we open up our availability for more work in the future.

System is fucked.

This is an excellent point. I also bill clients, yet get nothing for it. It’s particularly frustrating that I have to be able to bill 7:30 hours every single day, even if I’ve billed 16 hours the day before because of travel.

Name and shame people who work on their lunch breaks and in their own time

I do this, but not half as often as I do fuck all during work hours. Not even close.

Better opportunities for career progression (third sector is TERRIBLE for it).

Not hugely arsed about most other things in the workplace. Just leave me alone to get on with my job and we’re cool.

Noticed people signing off emails here now with:

‘whilst it suits me to email during non-standard hours, I do not expect you to read or reply to them outside of your normal hours’ or something. Just reads like a shitty humblebrag tbh and doesn’t improve the culture at all.

Might set up a rule ‘all emails received out of work hours will be automatically deleted, please resubmit at an appropriate hour’
