Work Place Standards… Whatever happened to those?
This entire entry is going to be about what is wrong with where I work. I need to vent!
Started working here in 2009 in a building that should have been condemned (has since been torn down). We moved operations to this new place where I was promised A/C… I don’t have A/C. It’s currently 24.5 degrees in my office. This should not be legal. Alternately, in the winter my office gets really cold!
SIDENOTE- I think my co-worker beside me just passed out, she was typing and all of a sudden her head is on her desk... Not the first time so I’ll give her ten to come back I poke her…
Ergonomics is standard in every other office I have worked in. It is actually part of OH&S programs as prevention of long term injury or pain in office staff. Since I have started working here I can tell you that my pain has gotten much worse simply due to improper phone mounts, lack of headsets (I have requested a headset a few times and never received authorization for the expense). My keyboard is not properly mounted; my chair is pretty, but not supportive. I don’t think I need to go on for this one.
Electricity… now this is something you would assume all offices would require to operate. You would also think that ensuring you had adequate electricity to operate would be a priority. Well for almost two years now, my office has been running off of extension cords and UPS’s in order to ensure that the printer, computers and TV’s all can run.
Tripping hazards! The extension cords in the office are tripping hazards, so are the mats in the traffic areas that move nonstop! I have nearly fell flat on my face many days due to these mats… Maybe I should just fall… it will even be on video! Try fighting that LTD claim!
But I don’t have an expensive piece of paper stating I know my head from my ass on these matters… Thank god I have a good attorney should I ever choose to pursue my options. But what do I know? I’m Just Some Girl!
