My office has some nice perks!

1. It's extremely cold and dark! I must wear extra clothes when going inside and I get depressed at wasting a day of nice weather in what looks like a WW1 bunker.

2. Terrible accessibility for disabled people! (such as myself)

3. Filthy toilets!

4. Internet is slower than at home!

5. Half the team lives somewhere else so all meetings are on teams anyway!

6. They couldn't afford a decent headset so I get pain in my head after 5 minutes, but I don't have a laptop so I can't move to a meeting room.

The HR really can't understand why after all these great perks I insist on wanting to work from home. I am such an illogical person!



Friend works at office that allows dogs. Her workplace is one big dog toilet! She is expected to clean it (she is not toilet cleaner). She get sexually assaulted, when her boss shoved his dog into her crotch!

There were some hospitalisations from work related injuries... Regular bullying, threats of violence....

Lovely office culture!


I did quit a job within 2 weeks because of casual racism and sex harassment in the office. But I was lucky to find something else that fast, to be able to do it.
