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!
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.
No Need to Raise the Alarm
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!
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.
It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere
If you ask most people, many would say that they would rather be on an exotic beach somewhere sipping a cocktail rather than be stuck in an office working. Unfortunately, those vacations won’t pay for themselves, and sometimes we have to hang up our flip-flops and put on our suits.
Janet, however, isn’t going to let being in the office get in the way of her adult-beverage-fueled fun. Even if it’s not noon yet. After all, Jimmy Buffet said it best when he sang, “It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere.”
