What do you find unprofessional at work?

Anonymous
Employees who do personal errands and calls pretty much all day everyday. Why are we paying you again?

I do this on my lunch sometimes. How else am I supposed to get a hold of my doctor's, dentist's, vet's, or other offices that are only open the exact same business hours that I work?

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.


This is the best list. Cannot believe this stuff!! More!

Blue lace tights. No joke, blue lace tights walked the halls of my firm today with a short black skirt and mid-calf black boots

Maybe you should spend more time working vs. judging the young chicks? Just a thought. What does blue lace bring to the table? Is she smart?

Perhaps you should spend less time judging, as well. She's 38. I don't think she qualifies as a "young chick"

Ouch! Fair game.

But, does she deliver results or is she just the office tart?

Pooping in the hallways.

Moonwalking on desks.

Singing purple rain in the elevator.

How about Keen's and Socks? I do that at times. But I do several of the things listed here: I eat at my desk....I talk to myself while working in a cubicle....Sometimes, I fart....and I talk about/loke about my medical issues (serious issues, not gross, but things that lead me to be out for months at a time, (e.g., cancer)

I hope this is a joke. Or you work at Petsmart.

My boss just rolled in, he's the CEO and I'm the COO so my office is next door to his. He announced his presence by proclaiming his sinuses are acting up so I've been treated to non-stop LOUD nose blowing and throat clearing for the past half hour. I'm shocked that anyone can have that much mucus, I swear he's probably a pound lighter than when he came in. Our admin couldn't take it anymore, she went to "check on something in the mail room"

When men lean back in their chairs and put their feet up on their desks, usually when they're on the phone, but sometimes also when they are talking to another male colleague in person.

What? Who puts FEET up on FURNITURE? I hate this. It's so animalistic -- like, let me spread out as much as possible so I seem as big and formidable to you as possible.

Blegh.
