Antiwork

Skip the office NCAA pool this year. You don’t need the grief.

This happens every year – someone in the office will offer to run the company's in-house NCAA pool. Then it becomes a nightmare. Joe from accounting hands in his sheet, but promises to pay later. Janet from human resources filled the sheet out wrong, so teams that lose are still moving forward in the bracket. Donnie from logistics hands in 15 sheets. Louise from bookkeeping wants to know the cumulative scores of who's leading and who's not after every game is played. And it's an office time-suck to do it, whether you're “conscripted” to host the event or whether you have to work with people who are gung-ho about their picks. If you like the NCAA tournament, that's fine. But you don't need the hassle of dealing with it at the job. Just my opinion.
