re: Office pet peeves (what's yours?)

1) People above me in the hierarchy chiming in on problems that I’m already aware of without giving me the proper time to handle it. I guess they’re trying to justify that they’re “doing their job” when they don’t do anything.

2) Directly from Office Space: if I make a mistake I have 4 different people telling me about it via email or phone.

I’ll go with the obvious - talking with your mouth full and smacking. I sat next to an elderly couple last week who couldn’t hear well, so they yelled a conversation, both smacking, mouths full of food. Just made me furious.

AMEN!

Don't worry. I don't drink crappy stale coffee wrapped in plastic. I won't take any of those off your desk.

When people create new email response chains because they do not realize that you can reply back to your own email.

Creating a share point document in TEAMS and having some old guy that’s part of the group ask you to email him the file, then emails it back to you with his updates.
