So I work for a small family business , big clients but small business mentality. But they want it to feel corporate ……problem is the office hasn’t been updated since the 90s. Everything is beige, the cubes , walls, and the carpet is those squares (blue). Imagine 30 years of hands touching beige and coffee spills. Filthy. Every admin for the last 20 years has had to reach out to office desk companies to get quotes on new cubes and desks, problem is the one partner bottle necks it all and it hasn’t gotten done …..in 20 years or more at this point honestly . I have been pushing to let me paint the reception area since we are hiring and need some type of update, it’s a small room so would be low commitment but the partner let it slip that they don’t think it’s worth the money now that everyone is remote , (but wants people back in the office ). Where as before the excuse was he didn’t have time to discuss it. What the fuck is wrong with employers , do they think that employees don’t notice the atmosphere of not giving a fuck about our experience ? It’s a dingy dirty cave up in here with half the lights broken and the other half buzzing like the fluorescent light noise from your nightmares. But they expect people to want to work here and give it their all? Your turn bosses.
