Apologies if this isnt a good fit for the sub, will certainly have no heartache if it gets deleted.
But i wanted to share an actual good moment, well ongoing moments in my job.
I workin a field that has hundreds of offices across the country, leading to regularly meeting and presenting to scores of people at a time. We use a software that allows profile pictures for meetings. Sometimes we're mandated to have cameras on, but most of the time, no one cares or theyre mandated off for bandwidth.
I got a pandemic puppy, who is a big adventurous goofy fluff.
I took a photo of him and set it as my profile picture for the meeting software, fully expecting some shit from my bosses.
Instead its been the opposite. My bosses laughed when they first saw him, and when doing these big meetings, i get messages about how cute he is and how he helped light up someone's day. Some people comment they specifically look for me in meetings now to see his fluffy picture. Plus, its hilarious to see all these serious professional images, or patriotic propaganda displays, then HAPPY FLUFF.
All this is to say, there are little things we can do in our jobs that rebel against the corporate molding and help bring some light to our colleagues. Find them, because we could all use some cheerful surprises.
Unfortunately, i cant share the image because then id be definitively identified, but just google “fluffy samoyed” and youll see what im talking about.
