I can't decide who won last weeks competition, I am torn between the philanthropic office suggested by dumberthan and the idea of not working suggested by Haveadamnniceday. Therefore it's a draw.
Although, a short while ago, I went through a period of not working. For one reason and another I found myself inbetween jobs. Unfortunately, I was also short of money, which didn't make for a pleasant combination. Next time i am out of work, I want loads of money, other wise all I do is sit round worrying. No fun.
Anyway, the subject of this weeks rant/blog/ is the upcoming release of Herman Miller's cubicle 2.0 You can see a more indepth look at it here.
The new cubicle actually looks about as nice as a cubicle could get, but, and this is the thing...It's still a bloody cubicle. What is it that makes corporate America think a six feet by eight feet box is going to provide an optimum working environment for their employees? I just don't get it.
This weeks competition:
"If I was in charge, I would....."
My effort:
"If I was in charge, I would make sure that all my employees had a good view of outside, and access to all the free snacks and beer they wanted."

Wow....you have an actual cubicle. You're so lucky.
If I was in charge, I would buy chairs for the employees so they didn't have to provide their own, I would make sure they had uncontaminated drinking water and toilets that actually worked without leaking sewage all over the floor, and I would make sure they had some slight recognition for working holidays - as in ALL the holidays - beyond a couple of extra dollars in their paychecks.

dumber than a catbox full of sh*t (09/10/2007)
If I was in charge I would hire my former Boss with promises of everything he would love and then totally do the opposite.

If I were in charge....hm ?
If I was in charge I would institute health naps, cots furnished. Only the lunchroom couch hog would have to stay awake and cover.
