I've been trying to figure out a more creative way to communicate to one of my professional colleagues (in a multi-contractor environment) that it's in appropriate to do any of the following:
Curse loudly in the office - especially while giving a presentation.
Use your speaker phone at the loudest volume possible, and with the office door wide open.
Watch streaming video on your computer - with speakers connected and blasted.
Talk about your spouse and how "unsatisfied" you are.
Conduct a JR staff member's performance review -- LOUDLY with the office door wide open!
Prank-phone call other co-workers on the speaker phone...
Who does that?!
I know, you can't believe it. It's actually gotten comical. The rest of us can't believe it. I'll think of something...I'll be real creative too.
He HAS to know that all of this is out of line... smh..... ask him where he is from and are these customs or behaviors that are commonly practiced there. Just let him know how intrigued and interested you are to know more about him...lol
ReplyDelete(this makes for a wonderful mirror, to tell him, Look we see you....since attention is ovbiously what you wanted...but the bigger question is, do you see you...and the fool you're making of yourself)
LOL! everyone else says nothing, and I'm too new to make a fuss about it...headphones are THE necessity now...
