Amusing Work Story

There’s a guy who works on the 25th floor who is afraid of elevators. He cannot ride in an elevator alone.

His boss’s boss has assigned a secretary to always accompany this fellow when he has to get into the elevator. If this wasn’t stupid enough as is, the guy is a smoker so several times a day he has to go down to the street to have a smoke, and the secretary has to accompany him. I’d have to call that Reasonable Accommodation.

Company time well spent, I say.

Guess what? She’s totally fed up and doesn’t want to do it anymore. She says people are starting to gossip because they are always together.

And we wonder why this place is going straight to hell.

I just hope there's a bathroom on his floor...otherwise Miss Secretary should get a well-deserved raise!

Maybe it would be more convenient to send the guy to a therapist so he can get over his fear of elevators.

That would be too logical for the place where I work. They could never figure that out.
