My office is possibly elite because it is so damn non-elite. Casual dress, come and go as you please, not really sure who your boss is or if you even have one, no performance reviews, never repercussions for anything you say no matter how inappropriate, the junkiest of junk food provided at least every other week super crazy coworkers. It's so weird.

Actually, I'd forgotten that this has been falsified. It's nearly true. But there once was a guy who was yelling/f-bombing within earshot of the lobby where one of the company owners, who is rarely in town, just happened to be hosting some potential clients. It was like the perfect storm for what would have to happen for someone to get fired around here.  And the owner did indeed fire him immediately.

I work with so many crazy people that I never even know where to begin in the co-worker thread.

When I first met the guy who got fired, though, he was standing at his desk chugging water straight out of a gallon sized milk carton. Like, he just held it in one hand like it was a coffee mug. He was basically a body builder. Big muscles. He put the water down on his desk, said "wusup", shook hands, and then went directly back to chugging.

The second time I saw him was on Friday of that week. He was out in back of the building, standing behind this enormous grill loaded with burgers and brats and dancing to whatever music he had on. He was occasionally calling for someone to throw a football to him and then he'd throw it back really high and far. He was wearing shorts and flip-flops and these gigantic sunglass that weren't ski goggles, but the lens in them was like the size of the lens in ski goggles. I later learned that they were several hundred dollars and Italian.

I work for a swiss company and everything is run like swiss people run things. very detailed and numbers driven. they like rules a lot. not like strict rules but there is an extremely detailed rule for everything. like the dress code is business casual so I just wear like slacks, a bb non-iron, and loafers every single day unless I'm meeting with clients but if you dig into our dress code it is a multi page document outlining the specifics of what business casual is and what does and does not constitute business casual. there are a lot of different types of names for women's shoes/clothing.

friday is "jeans day" but that has led to some pretty uncomfortable discussions. your shoe options are not expanded on jeans day.

Vans = NOT BUSINESS CASUAL EVEN ON JEANS DAY

because of that I just code every single item as "meeting with employee(s)" and then just correct the ones sent back to me by Cedric who is like the third level of approval somewhere in Germany or Switzerland.

you want office supplies? no problem. here is our customized website showing you the options you have for office supplies. you want some special pens that aren't on here? no problem, you're going to need to create a requisition request and then Hans is going to tell you the closest alternative pen from the online site you get to choose pens from and then you're going to need to tell Hans why that pen doesn't meet your specific pen requirement. you have some options to choose from as to why it doesn't work. I choose "other" 100% of the time.
