I'm a HUGE 🐶🐶🐶 person... But when the client on the phone is like: "Is that a DOG BARKING in the background?!", while I'm covering my other year to hear them, I draw the line... That and daily all company wide emails "please don't give my dog grapes, it gets sick, and please don't throw your chocolate candy wrappers in your desk trashcan, cause Fluffy is allergic, and please don't teach my dog tricks". I can go on..
What kind of hell holes do you guys all work in? We’ve had days where there have been 5 dogs in the office in fairly close proximity with zero issues re: barking/dogs eating weird shit, etc. The little dogs usually stay on a person’s desk or in their lap, the big dogs sleep on the floor, and the dogs that tend to wander are kept on leashes so they can’t stray too far from their owners’ desks. No wonder people hate dogs in your offices if the people who bring them in treat the office like a dog park
Dogs dogs all types of dogs. Black, White, Puerto Rican, Chinese dogs. Watoitaitoitaitai
Maybe they hate you too.
Your office dog sucks because we all have to babysit that fucker so you don’t have to pay for a kennel. And that service dog harness is bullshit.
I’m a cat person, and I love office dogs. I think AD1 is just a grump 🤷🏼♀️
^cat person
Yeah think this conversation has more to do with the quality of people in your office than dogs.
ok ebenezer
We have a pet of the year award each year ($300 for the owner). And a piss-on-the-floor policy, $100 per infraction. If the dog is an asshole, it’s generally accepted that it can’t be in the office.
Our office dogs are the goddamn best. They sleep during client calls, they visit you at your desk and they adorably play all day. I'm fine with the occasional bark because people here seem to really care about their dogs being great at the office.
^ who doesn’t know that grapes (and raisins) are deadly to dogs? Chocolate is poisonous too in larger quantities. I mean, the owner is not wrong in requesting those things. People should not be assholes and feed people’s dogs random shit without asking, especially poisonous food!
PM1, that is so naive. Nobody knows who doesn't care about dogs. There are people in the office who are not from cultures where having dogs is much of a thing. There are people who are only cat people. It's also not other people's responsibility to encumber them with the care of your dog, roaming around, getting into trash cans and other trouble. Not everybody is into your dog or even likes dogs. It's super annoying to get all staff emails daily from multiple dog owners with various instructions around each dog and it's most certainly not normal to have a screaming match of barking dogs while I'm trying to talk to the client about the timeline for launch. Try to go beyond your own way of seeing things. I love dogs more than you could know but it was a disaster in the office in a very short time. I'm taking German shepherds, shihitzu, labs, retrievers, French bulldogs, a standard poodle!, it was crazy
Apologies for going off your, but I think I hate humans at work.
Our office allows dogs on campus, but there are very specific guidelines and a schedule everyone has to follow or your dog isn’t invited back. Dogs have to be at least 4 months old, be potty trained (most of the floors on our campus are sealed concrete), have all their shots, and be able to get along with other dogs. We’re allowed to sign them up on the schedule and bring them in one day a week (people who’ve worked at the agency more than five years can ignore the schedule and bring their dogs in every day), and there are blackout days where no dogs are allowed on campus. They’re not allowed to freely roam the building, and most sit under their owners’ desks in a pet bed 90% of the day. You wouldn’t even know there are dogs at the office most days; so the privilege / perk of bringing your dog to work is carefully controlled and respected. It sounds like the original poster’s office could benefit from some better guidelines.
What’s to hate? It just exists in your vicinity for a day
You probably hate pizza too. You disgust me.
I wish I could down vote this
Had an epic office dog at cpb. One of the aussie creatives had a little 🐕 that humped everyone.
^^ 😂👏😍
