What would you do about co worker who plays same music constantly |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-02-11 07:38 AM by Danmel
All day, every day boss indifferent if I hear a certain song one more time, I might just kill myself. I would bring my own music in but it doesn't really help because I find it distracting when I am trying to write and think (both of which are a large part of my work) he is obsessed with this particular performer and I am at wits end. Thoughts??

1. Noise cancelling headphones for you? Earbuds for the co-worker? |
|
Other than that, I got nothin'

I need to be on the phone a lot so headphones don't really work. He does running exaltations of his love for said singer , don't think ear buds will help. Boss thinks music in office is fine. At this point I would prefer Christmas music & that is saying a lot.

4. Say that your customers (or whoever is on the other end of the phone) |
|
are asking about the music and why it always seems to be on. Imply that THEY think it is unprofessional or odd. The customer is alwys right.

10. I worked at an office where the boss played 'Phantom of the Opera' on a loop |
|
If I ever meet Sarah Brighton, I will kill that tone-deaf bitch.
Though I am a mezzo, I had a good range (long gone to disuse). I started singing along, ON KEY.

My husband is very patient. I have finally become aware of it to the point that after about a week, I change the music.
I am surprised that he hasn't said something, or hidden my Steve Goodman music.

13. I had a coworker who made me despise Bob Marley forever. |
|
Find what you think would be the shittiest music in your coworker's opinion and see if they get the point that not everybody loves what they love.
