Same here. Fuck lunch and learns. Got better things to do. Usually load the dishwasher, eat and doom scroll twitter. The occasional game of FIFA or shooting people in the face.

Haven't got time for that, don't you know how addictive those things are?

I'm just talking about the misuse of OOO when busy or something else is more fitting. That purple mark has a specific use damnit! OOO for me should purely be used for when you're on annual leave or otherwise not in work, not 5pm to 9am every single day.
Definitely not going to bemoan someone trying to have a work/life balance, just do it in a way that doesn't make it look like you've fucked off on holiday!

Hard disagree here, OOO just means you’re not in the office as in not working, leave me alone. Not off in Skegness Butlins.

I think I'd rather go to a lunch and learn.

Yeah, sometimes I'll stick my out of office on if I'm in meetings all day and might not see emails, pointing people elsewhere.

Just had a lunch break consisting of sex followed by a Coke Zero Sugar, a handful of fries and a chicken McNugget. WFH FTW.
Didn't put my OOO on.

Whoever he is, and whatever his proper name should be - I am fairly sure he is a cunt!

I am going to shoot all of you that introduced the term 'lunch and learn' to my existence. What the fuck is wrong with you.

Anyone who would agree to a lunch and learn should be pissed on by a clowns puss-filled dick

They tried introducing lunch sessions at our place a few times with very low take-up unsurprisingly... If you want me to do that, I'll be taking my lunch hour directly afterwards.
My last place had the right idea. Small groups meet for a chat in the coffee place across the road at 10ish and get a coffee and pastry on the company dollar.

Outrageous abuse of the Out of Office function.
I believe it should only be deployed for annual leave.

It probably doesn't help that I have a VERY strong dislike for one of the two people I've seen (mis)use it. Never get tired of explaining that no, twatface is actually in the office today, but the punchable-faced cunt just takes lunch at a bit of an odd time.

If its absolutely unavoidable, I do this too or knock off an hour early. Also, wrt OOO, people who use it as a status wind me up, too. They are in work as normal but have it on with 'I now work from home full time' or something on, so when you actually need to speak to them it looks like they are out.

Don't people use the Teams status instead?

Isn't there already a Busy option if you want to indicate you are super busy (important) and dont want to be disturbed?
I've seen some people use the status option to specifically note they're on lunch, but, bth, I just let it time out to away and let people figure it out. Maybe I'm the bad one.

Can I also add the outrageous abuse of the "Urgent" email option. Unless the office is burning and Tracy is trapped in Accounts on the top floor, I don't want to see that fucking little red exclamation mark next to the email subject. Ever.

I cantvremember the last time I actually checked an urgent email urgently.
It is such a pointless function that is overused and no longer worth it. Everyone I work with know if it is urgent you email, then also pick up the phone/teams message etc. Don't expect your stupid red flag to mean anything, especially when you do it in every fucking email.

People who use teams chat to try and bypass the email queue that is clearly the established protocol. There's that one guy who thinks he's being clever but I see you you prick.

I feel my complaint today is valid and it may have been covered already but there is a certain group of people who I wish all the bad things in life happen to them and only them.
We all know who I'm talking about... The ones who decide to dip their tea spoon back in the sugar after they've dunked it into their hot beverage of choice.
Savages.
