what do you all expect working in RM

[Viewfindergeneral]

Just because you don't like it then it shouldn't happen Just do what I do and zone out and concentrate on your work, it's you who needs to change not everybody else

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't realise how selfish I was being. It must be so tough for my colleagues having to put up with me quietly getting on with my work. I really must try harder to drive my colleagues to the edge of sanity with my polite conversation at a normal volume.

"my office is more like what I imagine a psychiatric unit must be like"

Perfectly sums it up really. Ive worked in 2 offices and there are SO many people who are not right in the head. I put it down to too many years of lost sleep and a repetitive repetitive repetitive job.

I relate to the xmas song singing person! AND Ive worked with a guy who used to bark like a dog!

Jeez lighten up, you want everybody to bend to you and aren't prepared to do anything yourself, if it's really a problem to you then put in a grievance but if it's upheld then you will be working in a library, no sounds other than the hum of the lights...................you can't have it both ways, that is being selfish.

Get some earplugs.

Seriously though you get this type of banter in these type of work environments so either join in, ignore it or get some personal music to listen to.

Can't its a health and safety issue.... you need to be able to hear the fire alarms and an "Oi! get out of the way!" if needed. DOM here is trying to ban iPods etc on these grounds!

What about deaf people? Thats what the flashing fire alarm strobes are for!

Flashing fire alarm strobes?????????????????? not that I've noticed and we presumably have a current fire certificate.

TRUE i think this guy is not happy unless he"s moaning, we have people like that in our office to.

What about the cruds who think playing music through their phones is beneficial to everyone.

Or the 3 different radios playing, one of the reasons I love being outside and not inside.

In the small office where I work there are certain colleagues that are driving me insane with their constant inane drivel. Every day is the same; talking complete bull****, repeating the same catchphrases over and over every day which may be amusing on hearing once but not repeated every day ad nauseam, tuneless whistling and singing, and their constant complaint of how much work they have to do and how hard they work then always being first to finish usually hours before their contracted finish time.

It is really getting to the stage where I am going to flip and somebody is going to get their teeth rammed down their throat. I am not a violent person but there is only so much anyone can take. I am not suggesting a library like environment, I obviously expect the usual workplace banter but what happens in my office is more like what I imagine a psychiatric unit must be like. The way things are going I may get to find out first-hand.

Either you work in the same office as me or every office is just the same. There's a depressing thought.
