HR Police: Sexy vs. Skanky at Work

Oct 15

There’s a fine line between being sexy and skanky at the workplace, and you’ve probably seen plenty of offenders in both categories. Don’t you wish you could say something to those who disobey certain office etiquette? Well now you can anonymously! Print this out and post it in the break room, elevator, or by your copy machine. Hopefully the delinquents can learn a lesson or two!

    I once worked in an office where a guy sent bigtime details of his Las Vegas bachelor party to “All.” Skanky? Yeah, I think so.

    My favorite was a guy who wrote a “love letter” to his favorite stripper but when it got stuck in the printer was too lazy to unjam it. The administrative assistants, who despised him, had it photocopied and distributied throughout the office faster than you can say, “doughnuts in the pantry.” Skanky.
