i find that disgusting. eat outside or in the cafeteria. hate having to smell 50 different kinds of food in teh work area.

we aren't animals.

Now this is just dumb.

Why don't YOU go outside since it bothers you so much. What about places that dont have a cafeteria (like my job) and the fact that its 30 degrees outside? So I am supposed to be uncomfortable because of you?

I don't wear make up and I am totally professional so ....you. I am most certainly going to eat my lunch at my desk too.

Using speakerphone when you are in a cubicle. It’s a little disruptive.

Not using your inside voice when you are on the phone in your cubicle (can you tell I sit in a cubicle? Lol)

Not proofreading your email before you send them. With spell and grammar check, it’s no excuse.

Using a lot of capital letters and exclamation points in your email. I know some folks do this to try to bring a point home but it’s very unprofessional and kinda rude.

Stocking up on huge quantities of food on sale and storing it all in the communal work fridge because it won't fit at home. Then eating other people's food.

Sending out office-wide invitations to renaissance festivals and other assorted new age links.

Discussing your wife's menstraul symptons, especially when she also works at the same company. Ditto for your own intestinal issues or sex life.

Booking a hotel suite for work travel with an opposite sex colleague, walking around in your undershirt, and bringing along a bottle of wine to share.

Running a political campagin out of your office on company time.

Tevas and socks.

Forty year old men calling their dads to figure out how to respond to a minor crisis.

And that's just the beginning of my list. I don't work there anymore.

You suck a thousand sucks.

Whaaat? People actually do this? Men?

Yup. And in my case a pretty senior guy no less. The Jesus fish thing was from a guy making $500k and with maybe 50 people below him. The father of three was from a guy at $250k.

Baffled me

Yes, I saw this too, on the (professional) Twitter page of one guy who is the head-honcho of national non profit. It said, "Proud Husband and Father." What??? Yuck. TMI.

This attitude is why people have such a hard time finding family friendly places to work. Why is it yuck? Why do we have to pretend that we have no life beyond the office?

Completely wrong. If this description was simply for the people in his office, perfect. We all work together every day, we support one another, we ask about each other's families, etc. COMPLETELY fine.

THIS description was his public description of himself on his professional Twitter page. Like, putting it on his resume. The audience is not just within his personal office. It is to anyone who sees his Twitter page, e.g. anyone who sees his LinkedIn page, or his resume, etc. No, just no.

lessons learned

- Sounds like the Jesus fish person is a much more pleasant and happy in his life and has been reward with a 500K income
- Same with the 250K who is happy with his family

You all sound bitter and probably will continue to be an underling with those kinds of attitudes.

Also interesting that people can figure out the income, did they put that in their signatures?

No, I have worked in the comparatively more family-friendly UK, and this would not fly there either. Don't go putting words in people's mouths.

Do you honestly think that is the issue here?

Here's one - sending nastygrams. If you have an issue, first of all, take a moment to reflect. Then, do your confronting in person. Don't hide behind email.

Nepotism. I find nothing more annoying than planning chess moves around an unworthy adversary.
