This reminds me, one time I marked our timesheet reminder email as spam. Then a bunch of people stopped getting their email reminders and they were getting caught in the spam filter for our company Outlook accounts. Bossman had to tell us all to stop doing that.

I do this with a lot of the HR emails pushing “company culture” bullshit initiatives that have nothing to do with my work. Being on the night shift, there’s very few things I'd have any interest in participating in during daylight hours when I’m not getting paid. Haven’t noticed a drop in those kind of emails, though, so I guess they’re on some exemption list.
I tried participating in one of those once. Some step-counting competition when Fitbits were all the rage. I worked a a rather large site so I was racking up a minimum of 15,000 steps a day, so I figured I had a good shot at placing pretty high and getting some sort of prize. Because why not.
Yeah... I wasn't even close. Turns out that people who don't actually do anything love to game the system. I saw people posting 30k steps a day and more. Everyone who managed to hit top scores were just office workers who never actually visited the site. I was moving around a LOT, and to this day I have no idea how people get that high of a step count every day.
The next time HR did that competition thing, I saw a lot of the same people on the leaderboard. And multiple times after that.
and to this day I have no idea how people get that high of a step count every day.
You shake the thing lmao
I meant without blatant cheating. But yeah. I wrote off those stupid competitions real quick.
Thats absolutely hilarious!
Count yourself lucky there's no Daily Standup.™
I’m so glad I don’t work in tech.
FML. We have an 8:00 AM Monday staff meeting every week. Nothing like a renewed hatred for my job to start the week with the right attitude.
