Fridays are so dead on the roads
The post-pandemic company has seen a rise in TWaTs, people who work in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Data from WFM Research show that the new normal for working patterns is costing Manhattan $12.4bn a year in lost income, as the average worker spends $4,661 less on meals, shopping and entertainment near the office. Sales growth in Manhattan now lags behind other parts of New York City.
Average bonuses on Wall Street last year suffered their steepest fall since 2008's market bloodbath, Axios Markets co-author Matt Phillips writes. Wall Street's 2022 bonuses dropped 26% from the year before to an average of $176,700, according to the New York State Comptroller's Office. The average Wall Street bonus is still more than twice as much as the median U.S. household was earning in 2021 ($70,784), the last year of available data.
I agree that what you do at work - or actually something different from that, what you said in fact; how you spend the eight or so hours when you are officially being paid to work for someone or something else cannot help but have an effect on the rest of your life. It must do cos someone getting the ideal magic 8 hours of sleep every night is therefore spending half your waking weekday life there......all of that stuff has a consequence for what you're like outside of work. there's definitely something about drivers where they've clearly had a lot of time to think the world through. whereas a defining thing about office people is that they don't have that worldliness, they're / we're locked into an information matrix so tightly that there's no room for the mind to wander.
I forget what job you do... did you say you work in a sweet shop?our kabul office had a load of stressed people doing stressful office work, crammed in, people shouting into phones, i was whirling about walking up and down the stairs, in and out of rooms, talking to people, conveying information, trying to figure out how to do things in the chaos, sending emails, making calculations, writing documents against deadlines, buckets of nescafe, jumping into cars and grinding through traffic to go to meetings, sending emails from a laptop in the car, tucking in my shirt and then shaking hands
Used to work in an office haunted by 'The Phantom Wanker' - exposed, after a months-long reign of terror, as a small, quiet bloke who everyone called 'Penfold' (behind his back). Management protected him, for some reason - I got hauled into HR and told off for just mentioning 'The Phantom Wanker' to a co-worker down the pub. Though he was prohibited from approaching or interacting with any women in the office as he'd tried to grope one years before, apparently.
Just shows, if you know how Excel works, you can get away with all sorts.
He used to noisily masturbate, THUMP THUMP THUMP, in one of the toilet cubicles (once when I was 'next door' ☹️) - and yeah, he left cum behind on several occasions. Once a few people had heard him doing it, someone had the idea of printing an A4 sheet with I WILL STRIKE AGAIN...THE PHANTOM WANKER and putting it up in the toilet for a joke, and the name stuck.This is an incredible nickname. What did he do to be called the phantom wanker? Did people come in and find a bit load of cum on their keyboard?
