Things I am not allowed to do at work.

While I'm supposed to be working on my project, I'm not allowed to ride the rides at the amusement park across the interstate.

Things I'm not allowed to do;
Tell my boss if he keeps treating me like his PA, despite my MSc in Engineering, I will f#cking quit. (the money is nice, the team is nice, the sexist talk and non-technical work is pissing me off big style.)

I'm not allowed to make situation-lightening jokes about our screw-ups, even if the customers think they're funny.

Nothing like an upper-management with a stick up its collective ass.

You are right about that, wolfie; however, management still does not want us to be seen -- while on the job -- imbibing anything from a competitor. That would mean Timmie's, McDonald's, David's Tea, etc. Our drinks sit out on the counter and are usually visible to the public, so if a staff member did come in with something from any competitor, we are expected to plop the cup, or pour the drink, into one of "our" cups.

[wolfie]

IIRC, your employer sells "to be prepared at home" tea, so it's not a direct competitor of Timmie's (which sells "ready to drink" tea). It would be more of a career-limiting move for someone who works at Kara Thrace's to show up with a cup of Timmie's.

You could offer them some Red Rose.

Wolfie, are you trying to arrange for me to be totally jobless??

I walked in there one day carrying a cup of Tim Hortons tea, and the then-Assistant Manager looked at me and said, "You're fired."

Hey, it's comfort food.

[wolfie]

You could offer them some Red Rose. Remember the commercials?

Only in Canada, you say? Pity.

I am not allowed to mock customers who ask if we have "Canadian tea."

Yes, because throughout this lovely country, we have SO many places that have the conditions in which tea flourishes ... especially, you know, the northern tundra areas, where you have maybe an inch of soil over solid bedrock.

When installing a phone in a courtroom, I'm not allowed to say, "He shall hang from the gallows."

Well, THAT certainly takes all the fun out of your job!

When installing a computer in a kitchen, I'm not allowed to use the hunger stare.

I am not allowed to use the tannoy to tell customers who can't work out how to use the pumps that they are morons. I am also not allowed to add "You idiot" on the end of my tannoy "Please choose an option to pay".

I am not allowed to tell people who ask if we have silverware no, everything is finger food here. Souos, salads, whatever. It's all finger food.
