Close to Home by John McPherson for July 09, 2024

They all have phones, right? And computers. Group chats!

And they spend their time looking for a new job, now.

I’m imagining a new version of The Great Escape

That won’t stop the office prairie dogs.

How dystopian of you!

somehow, I don’t believe this will work… :\

That was me when I worked in a big office with short walls. If they put in higher cubicle wall, you would end that.

How do they get out of those cubicles? Climb over the desks?

Might as well let people work remotely in that case. But then execs wouldn’t have that feeling of power over others.

Berlin Cubicles.

Then they send them off to “Team Building” seminars because they aren’t working effectively together.

How long ya in for, buddy?? :)

Still better than an “open office” with no cubicles

Let me take you to meet the Commandant. Just don’t try to pet the German Shepherds. :)

I rather like that idea. I always hated it when someone would come into my office just to chat or gossip, folks, I have work to do!

John is in vacation again.

I actually like that idea, cause when you need to work, someone pokes their nose over and starts talkin……UGH! Does anybody work anymore??? LOL!

On the plus side, they allow pets. On the down side, they are all vicious guard dogs.

I can see adamant ppl getting bloody hands still…

Wire cutters would sell for a premium.

Instead of worrying about what people are doing at any moment (inputs), how about setting expectations and managing their performance? Oh, sorry, I lost my head. That’s what talented supervisors do—and they’re pretty rare.
