Many moons ago I posted Cubicle Dweller's list of Office Etiquette and even considered sending it to all of my co-workers. Recently there had been an increase of dirty dishes left in the kitchen sink, to the extreme that someone made a pretty little sign stating that dishes not washed and put away would be thrown out daily at 5 pm. Another Dweller mentioned a few times in the break room that she had once posted a funny little list of etiquette in the work room nearest her, but no one had taken it seriously, thinking her light hearted way of telling people they were rude was a joke. In the meantime I had politely and with humor asked a couple co-workers to knock off their obnoxious behavior with snippy responses that I was "too young to menopause" "moody" "woke up on the wrong side of the bed" etc. I've just about had it, I'm tired of being labeled a bitch simply because I think clicking your pen over and over, chomping gum like a cow, guzzling water so you sound as if your drowning every hour, and eating like a pig is disgusting and appalling in a shared work environment. After the pretty little sign about dirty dishes was posted I decided to anonymously post my "Office Etiquette" where everyone could see it. The response was humorous to say the least. The office slave who had posted the pretty sign first spoke up, "Ooh, did you see that sign? I did not put it up. I only put up the one about the dishes, but I did not put that one up" The sign was pointed out to more and more people, and I sit just close enough to hear their comments ... "Hmph, that's funny" "Hahah!" and from the Man himself, "I'm not sure if this person is being funny or is totally serious" Two days later the sign had been removed. I posted another one. It disappeared after a day or two, so again this morning I posted a third sign. Each time I stealthily pin another paper on the bulletin board I walk away with a huge grin on my face - and will continue to do so until I escape this god forsaken place. |
