Story aside, I'm intrigued by this. Was he allergic to PCB dust or something? Or is this some sort of joke or reference wooshing over my head...?
- douche 10y agoThis sounds like some sort of bizarre psychosomatic thing, like Chuck from Better Call Saul and his "allergy to electricity"
- knodi123 10y agoMy take was it was either that, or a bullshit excuse to allow him to work from home. One the one hand, several other employees assured me his crazy home setup was legit. On the other hand, he would sometimes have to work a couple of days in our office during big events, and he seemed fine.
- knodi123 10y agono joke or reference, just a weird problem he claimed to have. I had no desire to get to know him well enough to learn more about it.
