A co-worker has started bringing their dog into the office, I love dogs and we're a very pro-dog office, but their barks are extremely loud and very distracting when I'm trying to smash through some important work - how would you go around dealing with this?

Not sure what you can do in that situation. If it is, as you say, a very pro-dog office, I imagine objecting to the dog's presence won't go over very well. It's possible the dog will get used to being in the office and the barking will subside, but until then you may have to rely on the noise canceling function of your earbuds.

I would talk to them and let them know they can't let their dog be barking while people are trying to work. It's that simple. Also, noise-canceling headphones.

I would probably ask if there is a quieter place you could go. I have 2 dogs and love them to pieces, but it is incredibly hard to think when they are barking!

I think you can try talk to them. They must be aware of how loud the dog is so they might be willing to help discipline the dog better.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
