to the fucker who microwaved fish in the office: Do us all a favor and tell your boss you have to change to WHF full time since you are clearly unable to work in a civilized office.

I was more thinking "make like a Russian oligarch who doesn't support the war" and out the window with 'em.

If that is all it took to wfh full time I would be microwaving fish every hour.

Perfect time to start having loud conversations with co-workers on the topic.

'Oh my god...did you smell the lunch room? Absolutely foul fish smell from the microwave'

'Couldn't eat my lunch actually. The fish smell absolutely ruined my appetite' (I would even be extra petty and claim reimbursement for lunch as you weren't able to enjoy it)

and things of that nature

I dont know specifically who it was, and its a large space so I didnt say anything. Shoulda have though.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Even better!! A general conversation that the offender might overhear.

You're not picking on anyone in particular, you're highlighting a shitty act.

And to think, if you punished them, YOU would be the one to get in trouble.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Sounds like a @Force_majeure123@aussie.zone manoeuvre.

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
