Manager said, that is why we have standing desk. Chair is still missing and nobody saw it being moved. Anyone else experiencing this?

@aw I thought we were calling them squat cobblers?
@n4 Well here’s my routine: I get up around 8, head in around 9, and usually make it through traffic by 9:30 or 10. First stop is coffee and catching up on the news at my desk. Around 11 I hit the bathroom, then it’s lunch — which usually drags for about an hour and a half, putting me back at my desk around 1. I’ll chat with a few coworkers, grab a tea, and see if my boss emailed. If not, I take another bathroom break around 3, and by that point most people are already gone, so I head out too. Long story short, how long I'm in there depends on what I ate for dinner the night before and how large my lunch was.
How much time did you spend in the bathroom before someone declared you MIA and took your chair?
My boss got me a scrub brush and said I may as well be productive while in there.
@cd Brilliant. Take a plunger with you too. You just might be able to come up with the new model design plans.
I would have immediately gone back and checked if the toilet was missing! It just might be a thing.
Leaving your medical hemmmoroid pillow on your chair might work.
Most Ford "People Leaders" have been there 20-30 years....they are brain dead as a result. Someone taking your chair is complete normalcy to them just like not having enough work stations in general is normal. 80% of these "leaders" should be let go.
@dh How do I keep someone from sitting in my seat, anyone have ideas?
Go to Menards and buy some chain and a nice lock that’s what I did. My chair is now changed my desk.
sad times we live in
Yes. The permeating fecal stench and periodic fa-t blasts really encapsulate the Ford experience.
@cd the bathrooms smell like liquid a$$ and the office smells like microwaved fish. Pick one
@cd good idea, I will try it after my first bathroom break today
Why can’t you just work from the bathroom?
You never heard of musical chairs? Just go steal another one.
New layoff technique, each day remove a chair and whoever is standing is gone. You all played it as a kid, now the stakes are real!
@OP probably snagged by an Apple Cobbler. Numerous CE1 deep dives this week and it might be floating around a conference room named after a Star Wars character.
@ad I just sh-t my pants reading that - might also be a side effect of the zoloft.
Possible Zoloft side effects or paranormal activity. No in-between. Consider standing for a while to see if this happens again.
@ab Well I just worked from the bathroom the rest of the day, it was convenient.
This is insanity. Your manager probably stole it. Also, what if you have health issues and can’t stand? Do you just lay on the floor and do work?
I stole your chair because you looked like you had done enough sitting down give someone else a turn :)
Yes, one chair will be removed daily... Who the fu-k knows, go ask your Ford Land babysitter for a new one.
