You mean "Cold Stoned" or "Stone Cold"?
Seems like they deserve a fat raise for putting productivity over personal concern.

We had just gotten done with the morning standup and a bat entered our office. 

It started flying everywhere above our heads. Just like it happened in the show 

Most people ran out of the office, but some sone cold people stood there working and unaffected 

Lastly, the bat is still somewhere in our office. It hid itself somewhere in the ceiling and hasn’t been located 😭

An actual scene from the office happened to us today

An actual scene from the office happened to us today- Grapevine

While work culture wise we aren't a toxic place
We did have two bats enter our office in the same day and caused quite a havoc! I don't know of anyone who's ever told me they like bats. I particularly hate them. They're disease ridden and can cause quite a lot of harm if not taken care of around our houses 

Our office is quite nice, but some unfortunate events have allowed for these bats to enter from an opening in our building. I guess that's the cost of being around nature :/

I'm sad to say that Grapevine is a toxic company (literally 🦇)

System, process, people or thoughts? What was the thing that made you go, shit I can't be here anymore!

Whats the most ridiculous thing you have seen in your office?

What is the craziest office rumor you've heard that turned out to be true?

The funniest shit happened at the office today. I was at my desk after lunch, vibing to "Like That(Remix)" by Kanye West and writing some test cases for this CI/CD I am setting up for a new feature. 

My friend calls me up and says that there is a BlinkIt parcel that I need to collect from the front desk. I'm like Bro I am busy right now. He says it's an emergency. I am like Okay.

So, I collect it from front desk and now he asks me to bring it to the WC. I am like bro wut?? 
He's like he needs it ASAP. So I oblige lmao.

I come to know that he has ordered Track Pants from BlinkIt because he shit his pants. Apparently, he had some street food yesterday and his stomache got upset. He had an in-person meeting and he wanted to leave for washroom because of his diarrhea. But he couldn't because he was presenting. Unfortunately, by the time that meeting got over he ran towards the WC. Yet, he was too late and ended up ruining his pants. 

This might be the funniest shit I have experienced. My private group on Teams is blowing up lmao.

Someone just 💩 in their pants in the office...

Looking forward to your answers. 
Here’s my bizarre story. 😂

Something that happened a few years ago but let me assure you all, one of the craziest stories ever.

I was working out of office that day and I hear two folks chatter. So, I stand up to see beyond my cubicle. 

A Senior and his Junior are talking. Since, I was due for a break, I decided to sit and listen from my cubicle.

The junior is talking about one of her direct reportees. He was a new joiner at the company and had moved cities. Apparently, rather than cooking at home he used to order food every meal. 

This messed up his stomach. So when he was at office one day, he wanted to go to the washroom. But, on his way a very senior VP paused him to congratulate this guy on a client feedback for his first project.

Poor fellow, couldn’t hold it in anymore and dashed to the washroom but he was too late. The entire men’s washroom floor was smeared with watery diarrhoea.  🤢

Apparently, it had already been a couple of weeks since then and very few people knew about this. But by now, some people along with me had overheard this story being narrated.

And OMGG, the office slack channel started going wild with GIFs and memes being dropped like crazy. 🤪😂

And now this memory is imprinted in the minds of everyone at the office, just like that shit stain on the washroom floor. 😶‍🌫️😂

What's your most embarrassing moment in your office

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.

What's the most toxic incident you've come across at your workplace?

We've an epidemic in workplaces. Everyone just wants to appear to do things - so the hard things don't get done

Much as we might like to think of organizations as rational machines - the reality is that companies are social organizations and people interacting with people is the way decisions are made and how work gets done.

Yes! And...

The office is a theatre, and work is an unfolding narrative on the stage

Product Marketing Manager

I am 26 now. And started my career in 2018 when i was 21, and from my first day till now I am doing a wfh. Initially it felt good as you get lots of personal time, no travel time and expenses. And then in covid while people where panicking switching to wfh, I was already adapt to it very well. But lately I have now started seeing some negative  impacts of it.
1- Social life is at stake as I went to study outside my home town and almost lost all my connections here.
2- No personal interaction with people on higher position than you as that helps a lot in ones upbringing.
3- Following same life style for years and years.
4- Poor physical health and mental health being in a room for 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 2-4 hours more depending on other tasks.

Adding to it now i feel it makes more sense having a office job which makes you feel more lively and a part of society.
