I didn't tell the boss any lies, I just never mentioned that I saw him, and was never even asked if I saw him. He was very apologetic about his actions, and rather embarrassed.

So a lot of the men go with a business casual look, jeans and t shirt or trousers and polo shirt. There is one roaster from another floor though who frequently wears shorts, today he's taken it to new levels of roaster-dom and paired his shorts with leather sandals. Nothing wrong with shorts in the office. 100% this. I wear shorts to work (in an office) most days from about April to September.

He also made a point of telling us that he hadn't worked at all this weekend when he got in to the office this morning. I don't understand how anyone lives their lives working that much, the company will never give you the same commitment back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 There's a boy in my team at work that takes about 1 week of holiday a year. He also made a point of telling us that he hadn't worked at all this weekend when he got in to the office this morning. I don't understand how anyone lives their lives working that much, the company will never give you the same commitment back.I'm gonna guess the guy has shit going on his life where he just prefers to work ? If its not harming anyone else I dont see an issue with it. Even if he is just a weirdo then so f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghPar1975 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I work with a guy who hates holidays and moans because his wife wants to get away somewhere nice. He's a bit of a control freak so hates it when he has to hand over stuff. Funnily enough all the work still gets done, usually with half the hassle! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Just back from Holiday and the guy who was meant to be picking up my work was off ill, so instead of maybe getting another member of staff to fill in for me they decided to leave half my work for me to come back to. So I'm a week behind in terms of cases and what not. not the first time this has happened to me either. Genuinely feel like I'm being punished for being on holiday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Some random woman cc'd our organisation's main shared email inbox to an email she sent to a woman who is employed by us last night. In the email, the random describes how she is aware that she is shagging her husband, and in doing so, also cheating on her own husband with whom she has two children. Copied us in to let us know what the woman is like, and that we should be investigating her. It is being passed around the office quicker than a scudbook was at school.Right, your audience awaits... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydunlop Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 so, got into our office today. I live and work down in England. I sometimes go into a network office at a depot near home as normally I'm out visiting customers so when I come into our depot no one has their own desk..you just grab whatever is free and people from various other offices/areas come and go depending on meetings etc. Anyway, I had one eye on the Scotland rugby game, few folk also watching the score on BBC. Theres a lad from our accounts department here today working about 4 desks away from me. He's never down here so its unusual to see him and he's not one of the 'regulars' in this office(most of the usual guys are sound). He's a wee bloke, bit of a nerd, can imagine him playing Dungeons and Dragons at the weekend and hes the type who always has to make a 'funny' comment about everything and witters on to anyone who he gets the attention of. Colin Hunt type guy... On seeing the Scotland score he proclaims to the office "oh i see the jocks are finally managing to get somewhere in Japan". The use of the word 'Jock' had already got my attention but I had my back to him so I've carried it on working and ignored it. He then continues with "oooh 49-0, I don't think Scottish folk can count that high though". Theres been a bit of a giggle in the office, I've swung round and said in my best Begbie accent "do ye want to repeat that I didnae quite hear it?" although I was smiling so it could still be seen as banter. He's continued by saying "yeah well you're not the brightest lot up there are you?", and I've responded(again jokingly and I'm cringing about saying it) with "i can show you how bright we are in the car park if you want". I appreciate folk will think i'm making this up but its genuiely just happened this morning. Some office lass who was listening to it all has come up to me and said "you better be careful, he'll go to HR and say you threatened him". So yeah thats been my morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I used to live down in England and although I never had any incidents such as that I did get loads of wee jibes such as that on separate occasions from different people. It was always meant as a joke but definitely happened enough from enough different people to feel like they do love feeling superior to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always meant as a joke but definitely happened enough from enough different people to feel like they do love feeling superior to us. yeah man, that pretty much sums it up. 99% of the English guys I work with are sound, and some are in fact supportive of Scotland when it comes to Sport...which I actually struggle with because I love it when England beat. One English guy was getting really excited about the Rugby result earlier and seemed quite disappointed when I told him although I was looking at the score I couldnt care less. My missus always reminds of me of the Scotland 1-0 France game when I was in a pub. I'd just moved down here. I think England must've been playing at the same time as I didnt watch the Scotland match live (could be wrong though), and I'm sure the score came up on the screen and everyone cheered... but typical Scottish my response to her later was "aye only cos you lot think hating the French as a bigger thing and we're insignificant to youse" - I couldnt even see the positive in the situation(apart from the pint someone bought me) But yeah most of the time its fine..although walking into the office recently after the Kazakstan game wasn't fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
