A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

If you don’t want to be involved then people won’t throw darts at you. It’s only people that want to be involved (sans the odd failed throw). Everyone in our office at least enjoys them.

There’s only one person who doesn’t like them, but she has her own office and is a massive hypocrite so she can fuck off.

Until a dart hits me by mistake when I'm trying to focus on something. Not to mention the distractions.

You get used to it. I've gotten to that point that a dart to the back of the head, or hitting my monitor doesn't even make me flinch, and I don't lose my train of though. I'll wrap up what I was working on, then fire back.

Why should I have to get used to it? It's a job, not a fucking arcade.
