    I once had to send out a mass email about the yogurt takeover of our fridge. It is a small beer fridge for about 20 people. There was about 5 full size containers of yogurt in there. One of my co workers, one of the yogurt culprits, claimed to me that it was well within her right to bring a weeks worth of food. A weeks! And she was completely serious. I had to give her a little lesson anout putting her daily yogurt dose in a small tupperware container out of consideration for others. She refused. She still does. Apparently it is our problem, and if we dont like it, we can store our lunches in the full sized fridge two floors down.

    People just amaze me.

    Put some Tabasco sauce or a massive dose of lemon juice in the yougurt, Problem solve.
    I never put my lunch in the fridge.

    This one time...at a place I worked at...one person put lidocaine gel in someone else's food. (for those that don't know, lidocaine is the colorless, and tasteless topical version of novocaine)

    Was she constantly promoted?

    My senior hr director is literally the biggest bitch anyone has ever known. No one knows why she got into hr if she hates humans so much.

    I haven't even met HR at this place yet...but they have the job description for my job and are supposed to post it online(so that I can go through all the proper formalities of applying and interviewing), and still haven't...they've had it for 3 days now...I'm going crazy, I want to get this over with...my anxiety level is through the roof right now...

    LMAO, NO, she wasn't, actually, she was in the same position for the 2.5 years I worked in that building...I think most people were on my level and found it disgusting...

    I have so much to say about HR departments...I'll just say they don't really help employees when they need it.

    My only real encounter with HR was at my first real job outside of college, I was being harrassed, and they got him to stop and leave me alone...so I will say she did her job at that company well. But I have heard plenty of other nightmare stories from people.

    My wife is constantly telling me ro go into hr......she is in management, ans routinely asks me for personnel advice, and says i am always spot on. No one in my hr department seems to have a clue, or possibly more accurately, seems to be afforded the latitude to seem like it.

    I had a similar situation, but HR didn't do anything, so I went to the harrassment department (guess they have more power than HR). anyway they fired the guy, and it wasn't pretty for me there for the next 4 years, that job was literally killing me by staying there.

    I did to...I went to my supervisor first, she was an idiot, then to HR...they didn't seem concerned (apparently HR lady was banging the guy's best friend), so I called HQ, and they told me about the harassment dept.

    I'm really nice until you push me too far image

    I'm no prude by any means. but my boss swears like a sailor. and we work in a professional office. we're accountants. he drops F bombs like nobody's business. just this morning i dropped something on his desk and i said "here you go, you can do your stuff", he replied "so I can do my shit?" I said, "yep, you can do your stuff", he said "so I can do my shit?", I sighed, "yep, you can do your shit". he seriously insisted I swear. his office is right next door to our VP. I just don't get it.
