Secret work enemies

[SerenityNigh]

any chance of a TL;DR summary?

no, probably not

 

[SerenityNigh]

Isn’t that what the Arena is for……

I thought the Arena was for calling out so it's not so secret after all. Maybe a game like, Guess the Forum Enemy. Then everyone can participate and then sit back with popcorn when it turns ugly.

The office can be good fun if you don't take it too seriously.

One of my favourite things to do was to abuse the fact you could anonymously send messages to people via the office printer. All you needed to do was write your message of choice on a blank piece of A4 paper, select the recipient, and press the big green button. It would send the scan to their email address with an attachment.

I had far too much fun with this and ended up grassing myself up as a result. Worth it, though.

Haha...it never occurred to me that I could simply press another recipient rather than me to receive a .pdf file from the printer. My mates are all gonna receive some sternly worded "official looking" .pdfs via the printer. Subject line will be: NO MORE DESK FAPS

it really is brilliant. our printer tracks print jobs but it probably doesn't track scan jobs. this is next level thinking. I am likewise impressed.

As far as I’m aware it’s not possible to track at all. The key is to be subtle, but if you’re as immature as me then the first time you hear someone say “what the fk?” from across the office you’ll struggle to keep a straight face.

I miss being the occasional office tw@.

The difficulty with us is it’s a small office and there is one copier/printer that scans so you’d notice who is in that room… unless there is an option to delay send

Oh I’m certain my friends will know it’s from me, but it will still be good fun as we explore the loopholes in the office intranet.

It’s more an issue that you can see who is walking down the hall when the e-mail hits your inbox

First thing next week I'm trying this out, obviously have to log in to the printer normally but am keen to see if this loophole can be abused

With these latest printer loophole revelations I predict a sharp downturn in productivity in GOT user staffed offices in the next week.

Used to love drawing little mustaches and specs on photos in Newspapers the staffroom at one place I worked. A very highbrow institution that perhaps took itself too seriously. Occasionally a Wang or tits. Used to love hearing people's reactions. A couple of folk used to get proper upset. It was addressed in an all staff meeting once. I nearly died laughing.

My very first job was a hornets nest of awful senior management and absolute irreverent loonies.

One lad Used to sneak into people's offices and draw a massive cock on the whiteboard if he knew they had a visitor. They'd arrive and have to explain it. We'd be in the corridor sniggering.

The other great game there was defacing the awful posters acting as newsletters that were put up around the factory floor. Beaming pics of the senior management would soon find thenselves adorned with Hitler moustaches.

Mischief is a good thing. Embrace it.
