Grim Places to Work

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Have you ever worked at a place where:

- People don't talk to each other
- There is no humour at all
- Everybody looks like they have lost the will to live
- Nobody seems to have a personality
- Work is slow and you seem to be waiting around for things to materialise in order to get on with work

I left the best place I have worked at (Radbroke) which was a really social, enjoyable place to be in order to come to this grim place.... I would have had to leave soon enough anyway because of the 51 week rule but boy this place sucks. Any ideas how to get through the next few months?

Invite your colleagues to a strip show. It's a make or break scenario.

I wouldn't invite these guys anywhere, except maybe out of the window.

It's like that here, maybe worse.

God, I really hate working from Home

Yeah been trying to block out this tulip atmosphere for the last 5 weeks. It's starting to wear me down though because I am not that type of person that fits into such a grim place...

From which floor? Throwing them out of the window at the ground floor isn't going to help your cause.

Bad combination, too easy for people to sneak up on you. Leave the earphones for when you're working.

Take the prettiest one and bang her over the desk.

or the MF way:

Take anyone and bang them over the head.
