No. And in this case it was probably an accountant or other operations worker in the company’s treasury management department. Almost certainly not a finance bro.

I’d guess to make certain activities auditable as a means to protect the company and workers from accusations of improperly torquing important fasteners.

And if you don’t meet the minimum requirement it’s going on your permanent record!

Tell that to the dashboards that track my in-office days.

The Mistle-Tones. It’s so bad, and I love it so much! It’s a family tradition now to get high and watch it every year, and it’s my favorite tradition.

Y’all could’ve just looked up the numbers on immigrants as a percent of population:

The tide will destroy my sandcastle and it’ll be forgotten, but it can’t take that I did it anyways.

I love this so much.

Hand sanitizer and a small bar towel for if anything needs a light cleaning.

In a comment you mentioned you’re the team lead. Maybe you already are, but just in case: stop thinking about it in terms of the individual personal relationship and start thinking about it in terms of the team dynamic. It’s unlikely this only affects you, so even if their individual work performance is fine, does their behavior affect other people’s performance or happiness at work? If it’s affecting others negatively it’s your responsibility to protect them and their work output, even if that means finding a new team for this person or documenting a path to letting them go altogether.

I don’t envy you. Good luck.

Heightened class awareness and solidarity maybe? A person can dream.

I get that. It makes logical sense. It’s just that corporations have so much power to impose their will and it feels weird to me that we let them do that even when it comes to how a human presents themself.

We’re so fucked.

I agree, but then I started thinking “why the hell do I think it’s so reasonable for a corporation to strip away the humanity of its employees” and I’m not sure where I’ve landed now.

You can’t control your feet and they always shapeshift to a size that makes your shoes too tight.
