Having a cluttered browser doesn’t have to be your secret shame.
My colleagues laugh at me because I like to have a lot of tabs open in my browser. First, am I mistaken or is this completely normal and sensible workplace practice from me?It’s common for there to be a tension between feeling a personal responsibility to confront a person on such an issue and being anxious about potential repercussionsI won’t say where I stand on the vexed and highly divisive question of whether having lots of tabs open on a browser is a good or bad thing.
Here’s my guide to bringing them down a peg, and if you feel so inclined, bringing them down full stop.“If you spent more time working and less time hovering over my shoulder counting my tabs, we’d solve two problems at once: your infatuation with trivia and my sore shoulders from carrying you professionally.”“You’re worried about tabs. I’m worried about doing work, so the organisation stays afloat.
There are a few other important practices I would recommend that you make part of your work routine while interacting with these nuisance colleagues. Whenever sending a screenshot, always edit it so that your resplendent tab garden is showing. This is a statement of pride, and if it goads and antagonises the wiseguys at the same time, so much the better.
