This is something that (thank god) doesn't happen any more, but used to be a yearly "event" at work.
"Office Olympics"
It was an annual event held in the accounting/bookkeeping dept, which was located on the other side of the cubicle walls from advertising, where I work. I never saw the actual events, but apparently it involved some sort of games of skill. And the sucky part was that the people who worked in that dept. would scream their heads off during each game. And pound on the filing cabinets. All afternoon. All while we were talking to customers on the phones, just the other side of the cubicle walls. Drove me crazy. People would ask us what the hell was going on. Try explaining that one.
I tried complaining to managers, but nothing was ever done. Then they moved that dept to another floor, and I don't think they have that event anymore.
Anyone else ever have something like this at work?
