Something extremely popular at work that you have no interest in....
Jump to: Newest in thread
For me... it's when work takes itself too seriously and gets you to 'buy in' to the company mentality and live and breathe the way it wants you to..
I can't stand that. It's just a job.
Turn Up, do your shift, keep yourselves to yourselves and go home.

A meeting... when it could have been in an email.
Or worse... when someone emails you something when they're sat RIGHT OPPOSITE YOU and could just literally save themselves the trouble and just tell you
Boils my piss that one |

Football chat and talking about drinking.
A male workforce, lot's of alpha's chest puffing trying to act " and" talk usually revolves around football drinking fighting and shagging.
No interest in that at all thanks. |

"Meetings, meetings about meetings, meetings to schedule meetings...
Just leave me alone!  "
Yes, meeting where no one will make a decision.
Or where everyone one and there dog feels that they need to be consulted about a decision that I have made….. |

People that are younger than me by several decades usually. Who appear to be at work. (When they're not ill, due to self imbibing.) To have a good time and socialise.
I sound old and grumpy. Which I apologise for. But the youngsters nowadays appear to have zero work ethic and imho. certainly take the piss.  |

Cycling. A few years ago we got a new director who was into cycling. Suddenly all the kiss arses below him were turning up in latex shorts and talking about carbon fibre frames and planning “team building” coast to coast shit. |

“Banter”. It’s so dry.
I’m currently working on a small team of 8. There’s 7 men, one woman.
I find myself avoiding any kind of conversation with anyone at all, because i don’t want to get dragged into it. The sense of humour seems to revolve around putting down others. Not my style. |

We both spend 99% of our time working alone, but in previous roles….
The little clique that seems to get away with doing as close to nothing all day as they can while, slagging everyone else off for being lazy.
And new middle managers that come in from outside the business and often outside the industry, who have absolutely no idea how to do their job or mine, but want to stop people doing all the things they have learned over many years because they know better. |

“teamwork” “We all help each other out”.
No we don’t. We help the same 2 people finish their work because they’re lazy. When I’m done, I’m going home, unless you’re willing to pay me extra from doing their job too. |

Promotion. I can't be bothered with that. I just want enough money to do the stuff I like to do outside of work and it not to infringe on work/ life balance. I have that.
More work/responsibility? Fuck that. |

Charity muggers.
Those twats that want you to sponsor them to do a sky dive.
And they get the firm to sponsor them.
Ever wonder why there's nothing in the pot for pay rises?
Who is paying the skydive firm?
Bet it's coming out of your sponsorship money.
And it's something you want to do you twat.
I'll sponsor you to take a 9" angle grinder with a wire brush attachment to your private parts for a whole 24hours so you can prove your doing it for charidy.
Or you could just donate the money out of your own pocket and stop mugging the rest of us to pay for your bucket list. |

Years ago I used to work on nights with 2 others and often enough it would just be 2 people in at any one time.
One of them was a massive Big Brother fan and was always bursting to talk about it. I'd got no interest in it, but ended up watching it just so that he could get it all out of his system to someone who knew what he was talking about  |

Emails.
Those passive aggressive emails people send to you but also copy in your boss.
Those emails sent to 58 people who all respond with ‘reply to all’. Every time. For days. Some even skew off into a whole other conversation.
Emails that should have been a phone call because it would have been quicker and less confusing.
Corporate communications about boring shite.
Spam.
Circulars.
Nonsense. |

Meetings with no pre-preparation. Everyone goes into the meeting without an agenda so nothing gets decided on in the end. Therefore another followup meeting is scheduled! Glad I no longer work in an office. |

The arse not talking to the elbow. How the fuck do you expect us to know what's going on if you, the management don't know.
The expectation that you'll do more work than you get paid for the set you up for potential promotions. No. Train me for what I'm aiming for and pay me at that rate when I'm doing the job, I'm not doing it for free for the possibility of a promotion that won't be available in this century.
Management talking down to people. We aren't children, talk to people like adults. How much you get paid shouldn't come into it. |
