      I had to have an H&S gonk show me the correct way to walk up the stairs when I got caught not doing that at one client.

      I didn't impress when I pointed out once he'd got up the stairs that he'd forgotten to clean his hands with anti-bacterial gel because of all the germs that can be found on handrails.
      I did a couple of days last year at a site where they had anti-bacterial gel dispensers at each end of every floor, plus posters telling you why you should use them. It seemed over the top to me.

        Not at places where I have worked, guys going for a dump and not washing their hands then making tea or fingering the donuts.

            There's a Bob at my clientco who's effing disgusting. When I'm in the crapper I sometimes hear him at the sink hocking up some massive greenie which he spits into the bloody sink. One of these days I'm going to burst out of the cubicle and have a go at him. Which will be quite some sight, I grant you.

              Try the UBS dress code. 43 pages of it.

              Discussing with a bunch of Germans their sense of humour, I pointed out that of course they do have one. It's just that it involves invading Poland. For a joke.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                The rules above — and the 40 other pages of them — were initially designed to help temporary employees who might not have worked in a high powered banking environment before coming to UBS look professional.
                That'll be the high powered banking environment that lost billions on the subprime crisis and got into major trouble with the US.

                All 43 pages can be found as a PDF here (in French)

                  Jeans and a T shirt, holes optional, occasional stubble, and I need a haircut more often than not.

                  Often they ask me to work from home.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
