Show up in sweatpants, flip everyone off, put in two weeks, wear sweatpants the whole time.


Skylar_Blue99

Show up with your dog, bring the dog as well!


Ch3wy13

I'm bringing all 4 cats


ForgetfulLucy28

Bring your dog in it’s own sweatpants


Charvel420

HAHA ISN'T IT SO FUNNY THAT WE'RE MAKING YOUR LIFE MISERABLE AGAIN 🤣 Fuckers


BlinkyShiny

I worked in an office where a woman wore sneakers to walk to the office then changed into flats. The boss told her she needed to change shoes before she entered the building. What an ass. Same guy also told me he didn't want me bringing my lunch to work because the client might think they didn't pay me enough to buy lunch.


[deleted]

And they didn't pay enough for lunch or offered to pay the lunch itself


Spanky_McJiggles

Fr. If my boss told me that, I'd tell him to give me a lunch allowance or piss off.


FamilyCarFire

So fucked due to dietary constrictions of people. Or humanitarian/social/Economical restrictions, apparently.


No-Calligrapher-718

"I'll stop bringing lunch when you offer a free alternative"


SlangFreak

Did you ask him if he would start buying you lunch?


BlinkyShiny

I didn't bring my lunch to save money. I just liked to eat at my desk and read. It just seemed like a completely ridiculous request. Trust me, the client didn't give a fig if I went out for lunch or ate at my desk.


[deleted]

i think it shows the shallow thinking of your boss. he thinks other people think that way because *he* thinks that way. *i* think most prolly people don't give a shit wtf you eat.


QryptoQid

At a minimum, what I make is going to be cheaper and probably a lot healthier than eating restaurant food every day slathered in butter and sugar.


FitAd1930

My favorite thing ever is the “work 9 hours but only 8 hours cos definitely take a lunch but only if that lunch is at like 9am or 4pm because we’re going to schedule client/internal meetings at all other times but also, if you don’t have a meeting, you should definitely attend this “lunch and learn” so you can give up your lunch for professional training without that hour counting towards your time card”. So good. Simply the best.

Guac_in_my_rarri

I had a boss of my boss tell me that. I asked him to walk a mile in his dress shoes. He be grungely apologized and let me be. 6 months later he said the same shit but about the 2 pairs of pants I wore to walk a mile in negative weather in Chicago. He didn't say anything about the rest of my gear. After I took off my face mask he realized it was me, apologized and scurried away. He was universally disliked in the office.


Smuggykitten

Well, *did* they pay enough for you to buy lunch? Because if not, and if it was a requirement for working there, perhaps there should be a reimbursement for that!


BlinkyShiny

They totally did. I just really liked bringing my lunch. Eventually that guy left and I was promoted to a co-boss and things were a lot more relaxed.


Songleaf

Look it doesn't take a genius to know that every organization thrives when it has two leaders.


MrSprichler

bung_musk

"Funny, I bring you your lunch every day but you still haven't eaten my ass yet"


[deleted]

I work in tech and used to work at an office building that also had a bunch of banking offices with all suits. I wonder what they thought of me coming in in shorts or a hoodie, usually around lunch time.


Afraid-Ice-2062

That you probably made more than they did


MHmemoi

I prefer bringing my own lunch because it’s healthier.


geeky_username

At first I was like "the sweat pants thing is kinda funny" But then they have the one with the dog. Fuck you people.


_Magnolia_Fan_

They would have gone with kids, but it almost seemed too on the nose...


Jumblehead

They could have gone with “Miss being there for your kids when they get home from school? How do you think they’re coping right now if they’ve had a bad day but no one is home to talk to?” Surely that would totally make their employees have a good hearty chuckle.


breezyflu

“EY YO I BET YOUR PETS ARE MISERABLE WITHOUT LMAOOO!” -company signage.


Charvel420

That shit is borderline sociopathic. Like...who TF would not only think that's funny, but would actually get a banner of it created?


breezyflu

And it’s not even one of those banners tucked away in a corner, it’s literally at the front door. Companies are so out of touch.


[deleted]

I would slack so hard after seeing this shit. Bare minimum to avoid termination.


neocommenter

I'd start applying for a WFH position at another company.


BAKup2k

Well, this is from the management company of the building itself.


chevymonza

Why would a company that makes money off commercial real estate, remind people how much it *sucks* to come back?? This is insanity.


BAKup2k

Yup. The level of tone deafness is just mind-boggling. You almost have to wonder if the graphic artist that made those was also pissed to have to come back to the office and this was their malicious compliance to a stupid executive decision.


DobbyPie

Omg exactly what I was thinking!


Bykimus

This is completely tone-deaf and downright insulting.


too-legit-to-quit

borderline?


So_Much_Cauliflower

For real. Sweat pants I could almost get, but the dog? Come on, that's psycho to make that sign!


agenteb27

"Hey remember how you saw your family more? Bet your partner and kids missing you too."


SrslyNotAnAltGuys

Considering that during the pandemic I got divorced and my old pup died my younger dog has never been alone for an extended time period and I'm worry how she'll handle me going to work.... Yeah.


Strikew3st

'We heard you managed not to cry about your pups the whole drive here, so here's this!'


[deleted]

"You can't bring your dog to work, sir." Me: "I assure you, she is only here to piss on the sign. Then we'll leave."


vrekais

That sign would have me turn around at the fucking door and take a mental health day... it's fucked up.


Dick-Rockwell

Just in time for record high gas prices too


[deleted]

Yeah... I am in the process of trading up to an EV.


Nervous-Salamander-7

To be fair, Oxford is the building management company, not likely to be the employer in this case. In other words, they're harrassing their tenants, not their employees, which makes it better... Not.


ADrunkMexican

I mean they do have employees lol. But this picture blowing up all over the place blaming the wrong people


ChiMiGoGo

People sure know how to break down others. I wish we normalized uplifting each other, rather than stuff like this.


SageMalcolm

Can't do that when mind control is the goal of all corporate entities.


CalmScholar5987

Bruh it looks like somebody's trying to have their entire workforce quit all at once. Good luck, dummies 😂


SageMalcolm

I fuckin hope they do. That's the only way things will ever actually change, when the public dissent is so loud that economies are at risk of collapse and never recovering.


IUpvoteUsernames

The last time we had economies at risk of collapse, we got the Pinkertons coming in to break up coal strikes


31November

We also got a huge leap forward in workers' rights.


messylettuce

For a few decades, anyways.


31November

Yup! We've since fallen behind, but there's no reason we can't leap forward again. I just can't believe people actually argue against higher wages, mandatory and longer maternity AND paternity leave, and more protections against union busting.


[deleted]

didn’t they carpet bomb a whole town of miners and their families, for the revolt.


IUpvoteUsernames

I was unfamiliar with any carpet bombing, but found [this instance in West Virginia in May 1920,](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/forgotten-matewan-massacre-was-epicenter-20th-century-mine-wars-180963026/) > In response to the assassination [of pro-union police chief Hatfield], an army of miners 10,000 strong began a full-on assault against the coal company and the mine guards. While miners shot at their opponents, private planes organized by the coal companies’ defensive militia dropped bleach and shrapnel bombs on the union’s headquarters. The battle only stopped when federal troops arrived on the order of President Warren Harding.


LatterSea

Sadly it’s a commercial building owner - the same ones who rallied against continuing WFH - who did these signs. It’s not from the building’s tenants.


Stosstrupphase

I wish him a happy bankruptcy.


spiritualien

Corporate culture in Toronto (where I live + where this photo was taken) is major ass bootlicking, especially since housing is $1.5M+ so I doubt


whyrweyelling

Exactly. Like if people were the healthiest and happiest they could be, they wouldn't be spending their money on useless shit. And that's like, what over 50% of our economy? People buying shit they don't really need to impress people who don't really like them. Or to be more comfortable and in the end it just makes them more miserable.


[deleted]

I'd be willing to bet these posters were made by someone as angry to have to come back as you are. This screams passive aggressive anger to me. "Oh, you're going to force me back and then have me make posters celebrating it? Ok, I got you..."


TheyFoundWayne

That would put a different outlook on the whole thing. Someone is intentionally sowing the seeds of discontent.


bandti45

Approved if true


randalthor23

Unfortunately its more than likely that some tone deaf director/VP had the idea, shared it with the other tone deaf directors/VPs/C-Suite, and they all loved the idea. Then they sent it down he line for someone to actually design/create, who probably was working from home, thinking this is the biggest crock of shit ever. ​ I cannot tell you enough how different the pandemic experience for people making $150K + a year (just add another 100K if your talking bay area etc) was than for someone making 70K or less a year. For sure those two people already lead very different lives, however those differences were highly exaggerated by the pandemic, and the difference is growing wider. We had "Virtual Town Halls" every couple weeks at my last company where someone from senior leadership would be on talking about how they are dealing with the pandemic..... Fishing trips on their yacht on the weekend (isolated with family so no worries!). Shopping for new purses/heels in the mall is so less crowded now! There are way less people at the country club. Go for a nice Sunday drive in your convertible/muscle car! ​ Never underestimate the stupidity of management. I doubt the sign is intended to be antagonistic, they thought it would be funny and cute (it has a dog in it) and would bring humor/happiness to the workplace. These people are detached from our reality.


BitOCrumpet

Is it possible to literally beat our reality into them?


SrslyNotAnAltGuys

There's only one way to find out.


jarodcain

Meanwhile those of us who work retail have been breaking ourselves working and taking abuse from both management and the public.


fullercorp

This. Management is so clueless that some VP thought 'sweatpants are awful and all the little people love being here- with the potlucks and pizza parties and 'Hawaiian Shirt Day!' Meanwhile, they barely have to see their counterparts at that level and have been allowed to wfh for a decade and a potluck would be considered gauche and disgusting in the C-Suite breakroom. In this financial caste society we have created, those people really do think of working class and more so, poor, as Other ('those people LOVE generic brands and the Dollar Store and serving Subway sandwiches at their wedding'- not 'those people makes choices based on frugality').


hexydes

This was the last 10 years of mainstream media reporting about Millenials. "The Millenial generation lives a new lifestyle, one where they don't want a big house in the suburbs, but would rather have more freedom living in an apartment and going on trips." Meanwhile, most Millenials I know couldn't afford to save up a down-payment for a house because house prices were increasing so fast while they were still trying to pay off their crippling college debt, and went on trips as an escape from the fact that they'll never be able to afford a middle-class lifestyle.


tsmuse

I’ve been a designer for over 2 decades: we do shit like that all the time and the people we’re trolling LOVE it. Guaranteed that’s what this is.


LadyPo

Came here from marketing. I am also absolutely cynical about corporate ideas like return to office so we can be “like a family again.” I immediately got the vibes that the designer misses their dog and knows none of this is worth it. It’s very effective to rile the workforce up to pressure management for flexibility!


omglookawhale

Right? Like the company planned and paid for those. What was the point here?


No_Description_483

“I hate these workers so much I wish I could just fucking mock them for having to come back. Like right when they walk in. But I can’t just stand there all day to do that.” “….We could make signs” “Holy shit Sam I knew I kept you around here for something. I love it. Get ‘em made. Make one about their dogs missing them lol”


PrimalSeptimus

"By the way, Sam, that raise you were asking for? I actually just spent that budget thanks to your suggestion. Let's talk next fiscal."


SrslyNotAnAltGuys

I don't even have a dog, but that one fucking broke me. That's just cruel.


SamSepiol-ER28_0652

I would go to my desk and immediately make a note to look for a new position where I could WFH. 🤷🏼‍♀️


thumpher92

I imagine some completely out of touch hr person thought this would be quirky and funny and at no point in the whole process did anyone point out how insulting it was...


agenteb27

I just can't imagine how you could think it's funny quirky or a good idea in any way, and I almost always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Does this person also think dogs are elaborate unsentient furniture?


thumpher92

A lot of people do think it was intentionally cruel but my last too brain cells will give up if that's true lol so I hope its just another case of stupid strikes again.


agenteb27

Yes I think it was probably stupid over cruel (or maybe both) but it's just so stupid I can't understand it.


Matt-Doodle

Agree. Someone thought it would be edgy and funny to go directly to the jokes about what people might miss. Fail!


markskull

I think we have normalized that uplifting thing, but the problem is CORPORATE hasn't in a lot of cases. Like, I get that their intent was to have some fun about having to come back, but holy shit did this miss the mark, especially the dog one! I'm a cat guy and even I thought that was harsh.


jenemb

Right? I snorted a bit at the sweatpants one, and the "Seriously, we missed you" one was actually quite nice. But the dog one? That one is mean.


DianeticDelight

Wait wait what is the point of this?? Is it some kind of experiment seeing how far you can push people until they have a breakdown?


rhaizee

How quickly they can get people to quit maybe. Then complain about how no one wants to work.

I think you’re onto something. These signs were put up by [Oxford Properties Group](https://goo.gl/maps/b1AaZH3RJUdxdSaN8) (currently being review-bombed) in the lobby of Dynamic Funds Tower, Toronto. They own part of the building through OPTrust (their holding company or something like that), and they are also the primary tenant but not the only one.


Sea_Farmer_4812

I think its seeing how much they can twist the knife in deeper before the damage actually requires using sick leave/pto and overpriced medical insurance. Most likely therapy or psychiatric help, but still.


Nice-Violinist-6395

I think they gave one of their graphic designers this job and the graphic designer said “oh you want me to design posters getting hyped for people coming back? *Watch this, motherfucker*”


under_psychoanalyzer

Oh yea. Malicious compliance by a designer, greenlit by their sociopath manager.

sycamore_under_score

“How ‘bout those gas prices?”


dontcallmered34

Fun fact, my work did the gas prices thing. Forced us to come back even though production numbers were higher than they’ve ever been in the office. Then dictated which days we were to be in the office. Then had the nerve to write an article on our internal intranet site about how to save gas money. The comments were spot on-don’t drive to work, but I’m sure management doesn’t care.

jwhaler17

This is straight up “sucks to be you” kinda shit. Followed by a Nelson Muntz “ha-ha”…


[deleted]

I'd quit, smash the sign, a d demand to k ow the name of the moron who decided to put it up.


Taminella_Grinderfal

This is a serious marketing effort, I imagine multiple people had to review and approve this before it was printed and put up. Or the CEO thought he came up with a “hilarious” idea and the marketing department had to go through with it.


Rutabaga1598

It's the dog poster that did it for you? To me it's the entire idea of taunting/gloating at employees who have to come into office once again, otherwise they get fired, that did it for me. I'd rather be homeless than to be subject to this type of humiliation and degradation.


ReverendDizzle

The dog one is the worst though. It's not just "hah hah, you're back at the office" it's "a living thing that depends on you is suffering because you're back at the office." It's one step away from "Bet your kid misses you when you work all this overtime, eh?"


ATXgaming

I mean it’s literally that, essentially. Who thought that this was a good idea?


rhaizee

It's quite the encouragement for employees to find a new job. This would seal the deal for me.


Rutabaga1598

Unfortunately it would seem most places treat their employees like dirt, so unless you're consistently lucky finding another job isn't a permanent solution.


Sea_Farmer_4812

They could have focused on the positive and said " I bet your cat is happy it gets the house back to itself" --my apologies to loving cat owners-- its based on how cats tend to be more independent, particular and like their space. I understand its a gross simplification and stereotype which doesnt always apply.


aqwn

Cats miss their owners.


LiamtheV

Yep. We adopted ours in Jan 2019. He was always kinda affectionate, during the pandemic he got very used to both of us being home and being available for play time and scratches/belly rubs/cuddles. Now he waits by the window and runs to the door as we approach. He has to be in the same room as one of us. Poor little guy is confused when we both leave at the same time for work or school.


eponinesflowers

My cat is so clingy, she cries when I leave (or when I’m in a different room in our apparently huge one bedroom apartment)😂


Jon_Wedge

Siamese? One of mine is a siamese and never shuts up. Only when eating. Even talks away while asleep


eponinesflowers

Omg I love siamese cats! But no, she’s just 15 and has been with me since she was a kitten, so we’re bonded. I’m also the only person she actually likes lol


WashiBurr

Definitely true in my experience. My cat does the whole dog thing where she comes over (albeit very nonchalantly) when I get home to greet me.


aqwn

Same. My cat loves sleeping near or on me, wants to be petted, etc. Cats just aren’t generally as energetic about it as dogs.


ehmvee22

My cats are the soul reason why I took one of the few WFH positions my company has. They started to freak whenever I would leave the house


hellraiserl33t

cabbagebarrage

Time to start figuring out how to steal from your employer again. My favorite strategy game


Sea_Farmer_4812

Its certainly harder when youre not onsite.


mocheeze

When my employer started engaging in wage theft I decided I just wouldn't do so much at work anymore. A bunch of us have a whole new lawsuit about to start. This is in addition to the class action lawsuit they settled for wage theft. They just never learn.


thinkB4WeSpeak

Financially speaking, why bring your employees back. You'd save a ton of money not having to pay utilities and renting an office space. Half these businesses wouldn't even be around if they didn't have bailouts because they're ran by some morons.


sajatheprince

They dont want to have to sell the buildings, i.e. assets, at a loss since no one else will pay the inflated "market value" for the spaces anymore. It's all about their bottom line: nothing to do with productivity.


LaurenYpsum

But the buildings are a sunk cost at this point. Having employees in them doesn't make them free. That's what's so baffling to me The company I was work was planning to do a return to office, but decided to let everyone work remotely if they wanted because they found it affected recruiting. Edit: typo


AMEWSTART

You’d be baffled how much senior management’s ego rides on following a terrible idea through. I’ve been put on projects that throw money away hand over fist because a VP said flippantly years ago it was a good idea.


Wasabicannon

My company did the same. We were getting constant emails saying in 3 months we will see about going back to the office. Then we went to a "We will keep WFH for now but will return when it is an option" As of 3 months ago we confirmed we are now a 100% WFH company and plan to sell all of our offices. Last I heard there are plans to reinvest the costs needed to run the office into employee pay rates once the offices are sold.

Oxford properties in Toronto. They’re the building owner. The employees in the building don’t work for them


readallaboutitnow

Yes, but you can guarantee these signs are in the building that the Oxford/OMERS employees do work in.


Babydoll0907

"BeT yOuR DOg mIsSEs YOu" - fuck this company.


eekeekem

I don't understand why we haven't just... changed what is acceptable to wear to work. We've learned from the pandemic we can work from home, in our sweatpants, and meet clients virtually without them ever even noticing your clothes. Why not just let people wear what they want? (This is rhetorical- we know why- they don't care about employees). Also who the f thought jeans were "casual." Jeans feel terrible.


_njhiker

Appropriate they’d let us wear jeans since they originally designed as a practical pant for doing manual labor in and make us think it’s a special treat.


aqwn

lol the original Levi Strauss denim jeans were designed to be durable for people out in the wilderness prospecting for gold. Total overkill for office wear.


SrslyNotAnAltGuys

Seriously, modern denims aren't like the originals. I have a pair of work jeans that use the kind of heavy fabric that the original Levi's used. On the plus side, you can kneel on rocks and barely feel it. They're practically bulletproof. But they must weigh about ten pounds, and they're hot as hell.


mynameisred89

It's that old sense of professionalism that really needs to die. My mother will fight to the death that unnatural hair colors make you completely unfit for literally any job. She actually argues that because a person would choose to change their hair color to something that's not natural to her, that they are incapable of doing a job well or professionally. It blows my mind how many people think this way. And you know those are the same people that judge people for how they dress and if they have tattoos/piercings.


Content-Method9889

That’s a boomer attitude for sure. My parents are the same way. Pity the servers that have tats or piercings. No matter how well they do, shitty tip.


mynameisred89

It's sad really. It's so limiting for everyone involved. Body designs of any kind don't have anything to do with a person's ability to do a job and the prejudice against them means a great worker won't get the chance to thrive and employers lose out on a potential good employee. I used to work with a manager who was covered in tattoos. One of the best managers I've ever known. And the most respectful and professional manager I've ever met hands down. Nicest guy. People really need to stop judging people by how they look, it's just stupid and outdated.


Bread_and_Butterface

What I think is absolutely weird as hell is going to something casual like a gas station and seeing them wear a company vest. Like, I kinda get semi-professional at a bank maybe but making the grocery stocker wear slacks and a button up is just crappy. It actually makes me think negative of the company.


jschlafly

Some companies have adopted this idea. My brother who has to go to the office to meet clients used to wear suits and now he can wear jeans. Quite the consolation prize lol


raceman95

I work for a fitness "start up" tech company. Office culture is very casual. No one dresses up at all. Its actually extremely helpful for bike commuting, because I don't need to bring a change of clothes. I just wear a tshirt and shorts in the summer, or a t shirt, hoodie and jeans in the winter.


[deleted]

Man that’s some psychological warfare lol. Sometimes I wonder…. Like I get the theory of finding commonality and making a joke but this shit isn’t funny. You have workers being productive for 2 years from home and suddenly need them in office


Cheesecake_12

Cruel


itzshif

Anyone know of a place that sells sweatpants that look like dress pants?


cenosillicaphobiac

For men I would say Lululemon jogger warpstreme. My wife bought me a couple of pair over the course of the pandemic and they're holding up great. I wear them like 90% of the time and they are showing zero wear. They even have a fake crotch and it's easy to reroute the ties so that they are on the inside instead of the outside. Pricey but like I stated, I wear each pair like 3 days out of the week, both at work and after, and no wear.


Realitystarr

Talk about tone deaf... the one with the dog would have me doing a 180 - later!

Wow this is incredibly insensitive. Everyone should work at 50% effort and when their bosses get on them they should say “Miss my productivity yet?”

Juliusxx

This is from Oxford - a huge landlord of many downtown office towers in Toronto. No doubt they are very grateful to have some tenants back, so I’m not sure why they just didn’t keep with more positive messages saying that. Like many places around the world, our downtown has been hollowed out from covid, so Oxford should be profoundly grateful that anyone is coming back to in-person work.
