this type of attitude annoys me also, this whole thread has made me never want to work anywhere with anyone. mainly annoying bros and all womenz
1st job out of college was in a finance development program for a F100. One of the kids in my analyst class scheduled a meeting with the president of a billion dollar international business unit in week 2 to "go over some ideas for improving the business." He also didn't have a drivers license at 23 years old and took a cab to work every day. The guy was incredibly smart (4.0 from Penn) but just the weirdest fuck ever
Reading this thread makes me so happy I'm in consulting and not a traditional work environment. Having project teams that suck, or clients that suck is tolerable because it's temporary. I can't imagine how miserable I'd be if I was walking into some of the offices you guys are mentioning ITT on a daily basis.
Lol sounds exactly like one of the guys I work with. People that are so open in regards to their personal and dating life are unbearable
Girl that sleeps with half the office and then brings out the tears when one of these dudes thats banging her doesn't want to be her boyfriend. Leave that shit at home. Guy that overdresses for the setting. I am all for looking good at work but if you work for a modern tech company and everyone is wearing khakis and a polo and you wear a 3 piece suit like you work on Wall Street you just come across as trying too hard. Bonus points if you constantly talk about how "everyone in our office dresses like shit" The two douchebags on my old sales team who bought matching lexuses with their year end bonuses and parked next to each other every day. Like same color, same interior, etc. Just fuck already. I probably was pretty annoying right when i started my career and came to work and back from lunch everyday fucked up on heroin, but at least I kept to myself.
I work process so there can be alot of downtime just sitting around but if the shit hits the fan you're kinda expected to grab your gear and head out the door. Well one guy I work with never got that memo I guess? A group of us found an ethylene leak in his area one day, radioed in for him to come take a look before we start isolating equipment. Well doesn't he have his cell phone in his front pocked and had to double back to the control room to drop it off. Just comes off terrible to the older 50+ guys I work with, some of them don't even have cell phones so you can understand their frustration. There's a few other stories that aren't coming to mind at the moment but same kinda premise
The dreaded double back. I started putting my phone in my desk during the day which significantly cuts into my fuck around time. Doubly good for the company (and TMB if we're all being honest) but shitty for me.
If you have it in your pocket in the unit and something ever wear to happen you wouldn't have a leg to stand on, you would literally be hanged from the highest tree. Not worth it imo
This is my life except we don't call it the unit in spite of the numerous homo innuendos captain dadjoke makes hourly.
Austin, TX but the company I worked for was based in the Bay and my experiences of HQ were like that magnified by 10.
There was just a large moth (half dollar sized) fluttering about our floor and the women were asking for someone to catch it and release it outside. So being the good sport I am I set down my coffee and scooped the little guy up and walked back towards the parking deck door to release him. But I noticed a coworker friend was away from his desk so decided to hide the moth in one of his desk drawers instead. Should be fun.
We have these Indians (dots) that moved in last year for some Brazil integration thing my company is doing. They cook whatever the fuck it is that they eat in the microwave and makes our cafe and the break room impossible to walk by without gagging. And as you can imagine, their lunch smells like roses compared to the restrooms in the afternoons. Once saw a guy flush the urinal, cup his hand and take a drink of the water while he was pissing next to me.
There's a lady who doesn't really understand boundaries and had a problem with the birth of her son years ago. He is disabled as a result. Unfortunate to be sure. BUT, she doesn't know the line for polite office conversation (time or detail). For the last two weeks, the entire floor got to hear about how difficult her hysterectomy would be since she had problems during childbirth. In detail.
I got a call from the war room in the other side of the office a few weeks ago. Girl said "emergency assistance needed in the war room. Now." and I hear a girl give a weak scream in the background. I say ok, hang up, and walk briskly over there, thinking that someone got hurt or whatever. I walk into the war room and there are 2 girls and a guy standing no less than 10 feet away from their desks, the guy is the furthest away. Come to find out, they wanted me to kill a fucking spider that was literally not even half the size of a dime. I grabbed one of those blank disk containers, trapped the spider, screwed the lid on the bottom, put the container down and called the guy a pussy as I walked out.
Forgot about this one since Mr. Obese Co-worker was out Monday and Tuesday "sick" (happens literally every week). He sits 10 feet away from me and audibly belches. I assume because the sheer force of it renders him incapable of holding it in.
One across the hall from me is always sick, too, but it's mostly because she uses overuses hand sanitizer
Our fat, mustachioed graphic designer washes her bologna in the sink before making her sandwich every day. This is approx the 4th most disgusting thing she does on a daily basis
Ours is the opposite. The male toilet destroyer just eats shitty, but isn't that fat. Just kinda has a gut is all. The female is this little old mousy church lady. Apparently she obliterates the ladies room every single morning. There aren't any obese people in the office here at all actually, so more fatty stories please.
This one lady takes personal calls all day long and never leaves her desk for them. I have no idea how she gets work done. That doesn't annoy me so much as she doesn't affect my work. What does annoy me is no topic is off limits in these conversations. I've heard about her constipation, her husband apparently not bathing, asking a friend to move her guns. It's a circus over there.
we've got a candy dispenser at work full of m&ms. it's got a sensor underneath, just put your hand down there and it'll spit out a few m&ms for your enjoyment. Well apparently not enough m&ms for one coworker, who prefers to take off the top and stick his dirty hands in there i miss those m&ms
nothing worse than super fat co-workers. Normally you see them in public and just shake your head and walk away. But when you work with them you get to see their habits during what turns out to be the majority of one's day. You get to see firsthand what A) makes them fat and B) unbearable to be around due to their fatness
you can be a liberal and still hate listening to people complain about doing their job not that you aren't right
Luckily everyone I work with is either pretty healthy or tries to be so it isn't too difficult to try and be healthy as well
Just wait... It will get better. The older you get, the less you'll want to deal with entitled people, unions, lazy people, etc. Before you know it you'll be voting republican.
I would always make my lunch when I worked in a law office in undergrad. Some healthy stuff. people always be like look at you, all healthy with your homemade lunch! you barely eat! eating healthy again, wow. like it is some feat not to shovel frozen or fast food lunch into your mouth constantly.
will Republicans still hate gays, believe in benefiting the richest of the rich, and deny climate change in 20 years? maybe I'll be in the center doe
I don't hate gays or deny climate change, and I vote republican. You and I have had our odds, but I know you're not one of those people who will be a lifelong liberal. You have a good and logical education and you seem like a hard worker. You'll be making more and more money every year and at some point you'll see it all going to people whose attitudes and work ethic you can't stand. It will become more important to you than any social issue you're passionate about. You don't have to agree with me now, but it's happening.
If you buy your lunch >2 a week on average, I will judge that you have no control over your life. Is it that hard to make a bit extra for dinner to take left over the next day? There's some soup place in the underground of the Toronto financial district that has a line out the door for a $10 bowl of soup.
I've realized that I'm fatist. It's getting to the point that I feel somewhat bad about the thoughts in my head, but it really is something that is not hard at all to avoid. Push your fat ass back from the table, and get up and move around. I'm the floor liaison for our wellness center, so I get people that want to come by and ask about the gym, the health benefits we have, even have written up lots of workout plans for people. Not one of them has been obese, cause the people that should care, just don't give 2 shits about their size
Yup. It's the supply side that's the problem. Not the expenditure side. And the parasitic enterprises that support lobbying. It's the poor folk and the coloreds and the immigrants. That's maturity. Oh wait. This is a good and enjoyable thread. I won't fuck it up with political talk.
we are the same. I only vote fiscally, as none of the social issues get even close on the scale to my money. sidenote: i'm completely against the 2 party system
I am absolutely a fatist and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm not talking about someone who's kind of chunky or has a few pounds to spare, I'm talking about wobblers.
