And the funny thing is, the youngest co-worker I have is 25
I know that in light of my last post that this one maybe should have waited but I had time while i pressed my Darth Vadar suit so....
I was in a meeting at work yesterday where the entire staff was present. In most of these I stay quiet as the faster everything gets out to staff from the higher ups the better and there are enough people asking questions to extend the meeting w/o me asking something. I usually wait and ask later one on one. You get a better answer that way anyway.
So our level of production came up, along w/ a million other work related issues. Lets say I work for a place that makes widgets, it is alot less intense than that but it makes things easy to explain.
We were not told we were bad, that we had not produced well, but that we could be better.
And so the meeting moved on
A few minutes later someone who is highly educated and has a position where he is asked to use that brain raised his hand and said that we were not producing because the office is 5 degrees to warm. THAT OPENED THE GATES
For the next 20 minutes it became a gripe session about every lil thing that babies I work with do not like.
On a rare occasion we get a fly in the office. It is winter here but yes a fly sometimes pops up. This was said to be a byproduct of the plants that people, NOT MANAGEMENT, have brought in. So if people wanted no flies, no plants.
Which then brought cried that they were making the place like a Nazi camp by not letting us have plants.
NO ONE said you could not have plants. That said the flies come from them and that is a solution.
Then came the temperature settings: Ok, listen...what is warm for you is too cold for me, is too haot for someone else is just right for the woman in that next desk
This is not your living room!
This is not your home!
And yes it has been a lil hot because the outside temp is warmer than usual. Live with it
Then came the silly stuff:
The hooks for coats, a few broke. How can we work w/ broken coat hooks?
The parking lot, although there is always spaces, people are mad that some people are parking and walking to the neighboring train station. WHO CARES!!!???? Someone has figured out a way to save a few bucks that you can't and you are mad?
Then the woman w/ the coffe thing I blogged about speaks up
And it goes on and on and on
People it is called work
Work is not play
Work is not always fun, although it is not to be prision either
And no one can convince me that the hooks and the coffee and the smell in the bathroom and all this junk is why we are not doing as well as we could.
GROW UP
And if you think this place is so bad the door is that way and swings out, thanks
