Things I've been reprimanded for in this environment include...
- leaving my phone on do-not-disturb for days at a time, but still checking voicemail
- leaving my phone unplugged. Nobody noticed for a week. Then the CEO called it. Can't do that anymore.
- Wearing headphones.
- Duct taping headphones to my head in an attempt to tell people to leave me alone.
- commandeering the sound system to play white noise.
- having signs like this up behind my desk: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BH6waT2CAAIyS2H.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BH6waT2CAAIyS2H.jpg
most of my coworkers thought it was hilarious. Some others did not, and now I can't do these things. :(
- deelowe 11y agoMaybe the issue is with the tactfulness of the communication as opposed to the message itself?
- jrgifford 11y agoThis was after an extended discussion (about an hour) about why this environment sucked for programmers. Got told I was imagining things. Talking with my other technical coworkers, we decided that we would carry on with this. As of when I left, still hadn't changed.
