When you work in an office, there’s a time to work and a time to joke around. Unfortunately for the employees in this office, that distinction isn’t quite clear.
This person didn’t feel that writing the words “emergency exit” would be enough to properly warn fellow employees, so they decided to find a stock image of a door with a warning (in two languages!) and add that the door was equipped with an alarm. Quite frankly, the amount of free time these employees have is what’s most alarming about this situation!
We Recommend Vocal Warm-Ups
Have you ever been “in the zone?” Sometimes it's called hacking your flow or something stupid like that. People who work in what might be called an art form love it when this happens. Time disappears, problems get solved, and distractions are costly.
Now, not many people would call programming an art form, but there are some similarities. If programmers are disrupted, they can get cranky. This sign is a warning about the best way to make your presence known. We'd like to know how many people actually do this. We absolutely would, but some people are just too busy to slow down.
Who Came Up With That Term, Anyway?
If you have trouble with your browser, you've probably contacted IT and been asked to delete your cookies. They're the way websites track your usage, and you've undoubtedly had to click through a couple of messages about them.
If a website or browser isn't working the way it should, step one is to clear your cookies. This is fine for most people, but not everyone. Don't worry, CM; it's just an industry term. The name came from web browser programmer Lou Montulli, who derived it from the term “magic cookie,” which is a package of data a program receives and then sends back unchanged. That term first appeared in 1979.
Workplace Productivity Is Booming!
Let’s be honest; when it comes to receiving constructive criticism (or any criticism really), most of us could do with some improvement. This person has apparently grown so tired of complaints directed towards him and his job performance that he seems to have turned to violence.
But while most of us don’t enjoy being told how to do our jobs, we like to think we’re not at the point where we have a grenade on our desks in case someone chooses to complain!
War of the Post-Its
From lukewarm coffee in the break room to printers that never seem to work, some days at the office can just be a drag. Luckily, some employees still know how to have a bit of fun (while still on the clock, of course)!
These two neighboring offices have been creating elaborate pictures using post-its adhered to their windows. It seems, though, that this office has won the posit-it war, and so they created a photo of what looks like the world’s most epic mic-drop to let everyone know who the winner is.
