Hard no for me. People feel way too entitled to bring their dogs everywhere. Your being a pet owner doesn't mean everyone else also has to love and want to be around your dog. I'm afraid of most big dogs and if I had to routinely encounter them at work, I'd be looking for a different job. I'm also very allergic to them and despite taking allergy meds every day, I'd be miserable with dogs in a shared space I couldn't escape.
I prefer they don't. I've worked in places that allowed dogs, and mileage varies. Some dogs are adorable and well behaved, but then you have annoying ones. I hate trying to think how to solve something and be randomly interrupted by barking.
Hell yeah I would love that. As long as it was made sure that there was no one at the workplace who is allergic or scared of dogs or something
Lmao noooo I mean don't invite the dog if someone has allergies
actually can we start getting people fired for having allergies? i want to strike back at the clowns who are allergic to grass
No, just broadcast thinly-veiled resentment at them (in my experience having been the person with allergies in that situation).
Terrible, my colleagues all seem to love it though. It smells bad and when both the chihuahua and big dog are in together the barking takes me out my flow constantly. They now know I don't love them licking my hands from under the table suddenly so the owner will fetch it. Was annoying when I just started and folks assumed everyone likes it.
Dogs are great. If it farts, it has to go. I will not suck dog farts at my workplace.
Not like a dog farts. The horror of sucking in the festering, rotten, putrid fart of a dog, whilst their owners joke and make light of it.
If the dog doesn't hang around me and stay for lots of pats, I'm against it.
Everybody bringing their pet in a corporate environment with lots of employees sounds like a nightmare. But I work at a small company and one of my colleagues used to bring their sausage dog to work, and everyone loved it
It sounds like the issue there was the poorly ventilated workplace and stupid boss, not the dog
Our dog comes to our restaurant everyday. she's either upstairs out of the way or in the back patio during service. When she is in the back patio, the amount of people who stop to pet & spoil her is incredible. At the end of service her job is to clean the floor of spilled food, she is quite skilled. She also cleans the street around the terrace seating onnour way home. She's old, fat & happy. She's the best.
I've allowed it during overtime as long as all the people in the office were ok with it and no one could tell there were dogs there later. It becomes more problematic during normal business hours.
I’m all for it. Any problem dogs won’t be allowed back in, and it’s nice having man’s best friend in the office.
This is actually really common in Germany. Not generally in big firms, but the whole office complex where my company is based in Berlin, declares itself dog friendly and you can just bring them in.
