The audacity of partners
Morning memery for me, so I thought I would share it here.
We have a lovely HR rep thats sits in our BU. She a sweet little thing, kind to everyone, always has the nicest brightest smile. Some of the team got together and decided to gonout and buy deco and decorate her desk. Basically put balloons on her table and streamer on her chair etc...to make her feel special.
Now mind you, we do hot desking, but one would logically use their brain to figure out where they shouldnt sit when the signs are obvious.
But of course this logic and reasoning is impervious for the good ol partner. Ol man comes in on a work call, ignores the 3 desks he passes and plops his briefcase onto the table, scattering the balloons. Then proceeds to spend the next 5 minutes animatedly finishing his call, pacing next to the window.
Once he returns, he drops himself onto the chair without further thought, now scattering all the streamers. Hes taking out and opening his laptop when he humourly notes:
"Hey! Its not my birthday today haha! Whats all this?"
No shit sherlock. Clearly it isnt your desk is it?
It took three other co workers to try to nicely convince and cajole him that it was for dear old Sylvie, before he grunted, huffed and puffed and moved to another desk.
Get your shit together William, the world doesnt revolve around you!
(Names are changed just in case lol)
