It’s framed as a health factor, nevertheless it’s fairly ableist and albeit comes off not nice when all of us are working from our houses, are pressured to work extra hours, and a number of people (notably at extra junior ranges) discover it exhausting to search out the time for normal train. So, sorry not sorry, I hooked up my exercise tracker to my siberian husky’s collar and am KILLING it. I’ve made my views identified and nobody listened, so if the doggo wins the prize will go straight to the furloughed staff help fund.”

One yr, one in every of his coworkers introduced in an empty crockpot within the morning, took a bowl of chili from each different crockpot and dumped it in his crockpot whereas individuals had been working, stirred it up and known as it his personal chili. He ended up WINNING that yr for his ‘depth of taste,’ and confessed after he obtained requested for the recipe and had no reply. Everybody needed to riot!”
