Meet the merry pranksters who keep the workplace interesting, if not productive
The Reg's weekly confessional column, Who, Me?, is on holidays with shoes off, a festive drink in hand, and a warm fire. That's a combination that's set our mind wandering into the Who, Me? mailbag for a roundup of some stories we think deserve to be told together.
Some of these were fairly minor and harmless, like"Buddy" who found himself and his team assigned to work inside a constrained glass cubicle. In typical '90s buzzword-friendly fashion, Bob fastened a sign to the outside of said cubicle, bearing the slogan"Thinking outside the box." Further cubicle-centric high jinks were employed by"Legolas" and his crew, who were all, including their supervisor, consigned to a space"Eight feet wide and 20 feet long." Ten people were expected to work in that cramped cubicle, so you'll appreciate why it was nicknamed"the sardine can."
So the other nine sardines hatched a plan whereby the supervisor's partition was moved, ever so slightly – about an inch a week – to make the space smaller. The desk and chair and filing cabinet were also moved relative to each other so it wasn't obvious what was going on.
