Office Disagreements: Car Parking

Whilst all of the previous office disagreements have been focussed in the actual office, there can also be disagreements associated with the grounds that the offices to let are located in and this relates to car parking.

Office Disagreements: Heating

People like different temperatures for their work environments so having the heating on or windows open can be the cause of disagreements between work colleagues. It can be hard to get the office to a temperature that everyone agrees on. A compromise is for people to wear jumpers or t-shirts depending on their preference.

Office Disagreements: Washing Up

So someone’s made all the drinks and everyone probably finishes theirs at different times. The question is who is going to do the washing up? Should each person wash their own cup or should someone take the time to wash them all? This can lead to another office disagreement if people have different views. And what about cups from meetings; who becomes responsible for them?

If you work in a call based centre at a Birmingham office space where people are constantly taking phone calls, then it might not be a good idea to have music blaring out. So the first disagreement is whether to have the radio on or not. If it is decided that it is going to be on then that brings us to the next disagreement; what to listen to.
