What are your office pet peeves? (lemmy.zip)

Given that office work is a common form of employment on Lemmy, and given our higher-than average technical ability, I’m interested to hear what bothers you most.

For me: coworker says “I’m old fashioned” and refuses to employ the simplest keyboard shortcuts (using arrow keys to navigate excel, using Ctrl+C instead of the mouse, et cetera) and then complains about how much their wrist hurts because of their mouse.

Just generally having to do all of the office culture stuff when my type of work (programming) is much better done remotely. Having to wake up much earlier than needed to commute all the way to the office dressed up according to their policy, showing up on time and having to be stuck there the whole day even at the times of the day where there's not much work to be done, having to deal with certain coworkers that I'd rather avoid, having managers spending more time trying to pressure you than doing any actual work etc.

Work would be so much better if I could just deal with the problems being solved rather than the corporate rituals we all have to take part in.
