Office Battles
Thanks to Sierra Miller for sharing some funny passive-aggressive office notes. Check out the photos here.
It reminds me of a previous position I had in a technology company. One of the IT guys kept having a similar problem – someone would peruse his lunch in the refrigerator and help themselves to some of the food. The IT guy was a bit high-strung which probably made him a more appealing target for these hijinks.
Anyway, one day he does a page all over the entire building and goes off about someone eating his lunch. This was a company with 175 employees – it wasn’t small. He ranted to the entire company (and present visitors) about his lunch being taken again.
I believe he was summoned to the HR department’s area shortly thereafter. He wasn’t fired, but was asked to refrain from any further “page all rants.”
