The office 'scolding email' thread

[BristolEcho]

Ha ha, that's funny! Before or after you stopped working for him?

While I was working for him, and I kept my job after. I did eventually leave though after he was rude to me one morning and I asked him not to be. Similar to you he called me and I walked out that day.

He was the owner of the company and used to flaunt his wealth everywhere. I think I was protected by my line manager on the first occasion as we have a good relationship.

The thing is despite all his wealth I didn't really envy him. He used to be on his phone all day shouting at people, and generally wasn't a very nice person. I'd rather not be like that to be honest.

So it's not a scolding e-mail but I think this is probably the best thread for this:

This travesty has appeared in my office. A montage of Christmas and summer party photos with an inspirational quote from Queenie.

Every time I look at it I want to abuse the colleagues I do get on with just to remove this illusion of 'family' they are attempting to instill.

They've actually been pretty decent to me in my 6 years here but fuck that shit.

how about seeing how long it is before anyone notices if you discreetly replace the photos with edited versions.

add a serial killer or two , or something like that...

At first glance I thought the group shot immiediately over the blurb was a promo photo from Wrath of Khan

who took all those photos? did they consent to them being copied and displayed in a commercial environment?

 

[Looby]

I’d go fucking postal if my photos ended up on the wall at work but even more so if they were posted on message board!

Add bundy, no-one will notice.

Manson ‘Family’ spring to mind. Or the Adams Family for something a bit lighter.

I like how he's not even managing to get it to go in the washbasin.

The only reasonable interpretaion of the meaning is 'aim for the floor next to the toilets, not next to the washbasins'.

^^^take it that is from the USofA?

if so a little pedantry would be welcome underneath: Bison, not buffalo.

And just who are these wacky-wankers?

'Floor related matter'

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Not scolding as such but I did get an email that began "You are invited to attend this mandatory training...". An offer you can't refuse.

'Floor related matter'

input / output error?

Hi All

Yet again I having to email about the state of the kitchen.

Please see attached pictures, this is not how the kitchen should be left. I have this morning removed mouldy food from the fridge too. Regardless of whether it is a teaspoon, plate or things left on the worktop please ensure you clear up after yourselves and put everything away in the cupboards once dried up.

Thanks
Julie

Is this as bad as I think it is?

Depends on whether you're expecting Deliveroo to drop off your order.

I like the little tip at the end. Can't make up my mind if it's helpful or condescending.

Our faculty office has, at most, seven people in it. Usually only a couple at a time, because we are teachers. The sender of this email spend an average of forty minutes a week in the office (she has her own set up downstairs).

Superb meaningless threat aggressive sign off. Plus embarrassing spelling error. A classic.

She should be advised to do a health and safety desk assessment type thing if she gets backache so an appropriate chair can be sourced.

She’s clearly not done this or she would be quoting as such.

Yes. There’s a comment among those who do use the office, that it’s kinda my fault because I put my initials on the back of my chair, because it’s reliably non-shit and therefore it’s a “reasonable adjustment” for my arthritis (the chairs do otherwise get moved around over the course of a day). I have a lift key, too. Which isn’t relevant but I’m still pretty excited by that.
