Do any of you who still work in an office have an office mascot or pet? If so, what is it and how does it affect morale?

Morale? No mascot will replace the joy and productivity of WFH.

Ah yes I remember all the pets and mascots from my 12th year. Such a shame it’s only for that one year though.

Our office is dog friendly and it absolutely improves morale, but what would improve it even more would be letting us WFH all the time.

I take my ESA dog to the office often, so does my boss… and other coworkers bring their dogs, too. It’s maybe once a week when we know it’s going to be a shite day, at least one of us will bring ours in.

can you give some examples of previously used office mascots (non-pet)?

We don’t have an office. We’re 100% so we all have our own personal mascots. Unfortunately, we’re not hiring at the moment.

Yes. Everyone needs an office buddy even if you only go in once a week like I do.

No dogs technically allowed, but Someone has a support corgi in the office. Best part of everyone’s day. Just makes his rounds all day

I am the office mascot.

Dogs aren’t permitted in the London OMC hub building. During the 10 years I’ve worked in the awful building I’ve not spotted a support dog.

A pet in an agency? I think that would constitute animal abuse.

Does anyone else just not even want to be a people manager anymore?! The amount of work this is taking, I’m just so over it. In addition to them piling on my work (which is a full time job) the people management stuff is just as much a full time job that no one in management seems to take into account. I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.
