Am I a Dinasour - Office Environments?



fuck me are they all fat and have beards......whats with IT nerds and beards you can tell they are not getting no sex...Nee lass likes getting her honey pot getting licked out with a full bush chafing on her lips

It;s hard to tell underneath the baggy hoodies and Sheldon from Big Bang Theory style t-shirts. I can say there's not a right lot of personal grooming been going on, particularly basic hair combing.
 
I just started a new contract this week at a place where the IT department use 'Agile'. Everyone is part of a 'Scrum' and each one has its own team name. When you find out that the team names are things like 'The Beserkers', 'The Night Watch' and 'Red Squadron', it doesn't take a genius to work out that the programmers have been given a say. It's not doing much for the image of It staff when team names like this just screams nerdy-virgins.

Oh aye and apparently at 'scrum stand-ups' you have to be holding the Yoda cuddly toy to be allowed to speak.

F'kin awesome :rolleyes:

Place I'm at there is a huge Project on which in effect is to overhaul the whole IT estate

Loads of new Pm's about. On Monday morning I could see them in their scrum/ huddle when I heard one start singing a song. Its Monday, It Monday, lets all do our deeds etc etc etc...

we all looked at each other and went wtf

he then went onto to give this little anecdote monologue.. I'm out of here in August.. maybe just in time

Bloody hell Granddad, you took your time making it into the 21st century.

Welcome
 
i dont think your a dinosaur at all

if i was working in an environment like that id still be in my chinos and shirt etc as that is my work wear and what i feel appropriate

it does give you a bit leeway though if you cant be arsed ironing a shirt in the morn you can just hoy a jumper or polo shirt on and no-one will give a shit

when i work from home i make a point of getting up and at least putting clothes on to put me in a mindset that im 'going to work'
 
Went to have a chat with a director of a company earlier on in the week about possible opportunities at the company, a big thing he mentioned was that I would need to fit into the culture of the company.

The dress code on that day seemed to be shorts and zany comedy T-shirts or shit with Atari symbols etc on. Staff seemed to be just f***ing about chatting shit or playing ping pong, hangng about in 'break out' areas or on their laptops in the cafe, they seem to have loads of 'fun' days etc......I sort of decided I couldn't work there by this. Turns out they're not hiring anyways.

But Ive come away thinking, is this what modern office environments are like? I'm more of a tradional suit or at least a pair of slacks and buttoned shirt type of man, I like to keep work away from socialising, get to work, do a full days graft before leaving and getting home and taking the work clothes of is a demarkation point to try and switch off from work. To me if your staff have time to piss about, you hav etoo many staff.

Do i need to maybes broaden my thoughts on this to fit into new companies? This is my first real exposure of looking for employment outside of my company that Ive had.

Where do I even buy a funny Bart Simpson t-shirt???
I don't know any offices like that. The furthest ours goes is we have a dress down day once a month for charity, but even thats jeans and a t shirt at the very worst. No shorts, no flip flops or out like that. What was the company? Are they big?

Now yer talking. I am going to suggest that every Red Squadron stand up starts with our new song. Perhaps lyrics set to the theme from Star Wars would be just the ticket. I feel inspired already.

Bloody hell Granddad, you took your time making it into the 21st century.

Welcome

Hew man the past was a comfortable, warm and friendly place - you can keep progress.

Amen, brother.

The fact that these feckless young pups will actually be running stuff once our generation retires is f***ing terrifying.
