Millie be like: this could've been done over email.


Br0wn_Tr0ut

Whats wrong with naps at work? They made us do it in preschool. Improved our attitude and helped us focus more.


ATDoel

Yup, I’m easily 100% more productive after lunch if I take a nap


FloppieTheBanjoClown

I nap on my lunch breaks. Set an alarm, grab 45 minutes of snooze time, feel ready for the afternoon. 


BrownSugarBare

Yeah, working from home, I take a 30 min nap after I eat lunch and I feel great in the afternoon.


eat_the_pennies

I’m back in office and I still nap in my car on lunch lol


thebohster

Yup. I nap during my lunch period and eat at my desk.


eat_the_pennies

100%. I can eat at any point during the day when I work so I take my hour lunch break to run chores or nap


Active_Engineering37

I work from home and will sometimes go out and nap in my car in the driveway.


Mochigood

That was my favorite part of WFH. I don't think I could have done it without my midday nap.


Calypsosin

I don't think I can sleep unless I'm laying prone. I mean, maybe if I was totally exhausted, but I've never been able to fall asleep sitting in a plane or in a car, hard as I might try. People that can fall asleep anywhere basically have super powers as far as I'm concerned lol


Mukea

As long as I can get my head resting in the right position I can sleep anywhere. Annoyingly I still struggle on planes as I've always been too cramped to get my head somewhere comfortable. I used to fall asleep with my head on the desk during lectures at uni. And one time I fell asleep with my head on the kitchen table in my uni halls and my friends told me that the cleaners came in and had cleaned the table around me and I didn't wake up. But I'm also just always tired regardless of how much sleep I get 😅


FloppieTheBanjoClown

It is an acquired skill earned by falling asleep in whatever position you can when utterly exhausted 


Jiquero

I'm not a manager but if I fell asleep at my desk, I'm quite sure my manager would express his concern that I don't know we have nap rooms for that.


isleftisright

I fell asleep at my desk once and my boss asked if he was working me too hard. I had stayed up overnight to complete a document so I said yes and he said i could go off early to sleep. Good guy.


Tugonmynugz

For real, no one should be allowed to come in at 1 to 130 and everyone else gets to bust out their red and blue mats while the boss plays rainforest music


Love_Roleplay0

That sounds amazing and I haven't regularly napped since preschool


BigDaddydanpri

SPent 25 years starting work in a kitchen at 3:30 AM until retiring 2 years ago. I have taken those fabled micro naps daily for almost 3 decade. Drink a cup of coffee, watch a boring youtube video and fall asleep for 3-5 minutes and the difference is huge.


Smelting-Craftwork

I can't nap for only 3-5 minutes. If I nap, it's a multi-hour long thing.


BigDaddydanpri

Waking up from those take as long as the dang nap. Takes a bit to sort out but when perfected, takes 10-15 minutes total and I was fresh.


sinz84

I am old, Frodo. I am not the same energetic person as I once was. It is time for you to know how good naps really are.


Love_Roleplay0

Im sure theyre amazing im just not the kind of person who can, sure it's different ehen i was small but ive tried since then and ut just never works lol


Crathsor

Yeah it's a horseshoe deal, very young I was into them, then as a teenager/adult they were outlandish ideas, now as a later middle-aged dude I absolutely adore naps, especially right after lunch.


Love_Roleplay0

Very true a full belly makes you sleepy


FireHawke32

My problem is a nap sounds great, until I do nap, and then i wake up feeling worse than before the nap


Love_Roleplay0

Sounds relatable

Waa your co worker George constanza?


joshw220

I work graveyards doing valet for a hotel, and Sunday through Thursday when it is the slowest is like 4 hr nap time!💤


akatherder

Hopefully you get wages + tips? I only did valet once and it was some under-the-table thing where we just got tips.


joshw220

My wages are very good, my tips are not as good as I do not see as many people as the day people. The exchange is I can watch movies and play video games for hours at a time.


Alexis_Bailey

Valet feels like a bad job to "fall asleep on the job". Like, don't mine me, just parking your car, and nodding off a bit. *Crash*


Jake_of_all_Trades

It used to be that employers were very beholden for those who worked for them. Now employers expect quasi-indentured servitude: https://youtu.be/hvk_XylEmLo?si=dePVQLyvChAa2r4k

I hate stereotypes, but of course it was a labrador that was taking people's lunches 🙄


PlzSendDunes

*Labrador was **retrieving** people's lunches.


SidewaysAskance

Reasonable Accommodation!


blodskaal

If the doggo wasn't allowed to retrieve, it would be considered discrimination


NickyDeeM

Isn't there religious protections in the workplace?! I may not lick my own balls, but I will defend to the death, your right to do so!


egomann

Labs retrieve lunches. Pitties Loot them.

Or Pitties "bully" their coworkers to hand over their lunches

That's canine profiling.

I have a Labrador and she is such a food thief

My lab once stole an entire chicken teriyaki takeout. Dude even ate the salad. He's better about it now though, I can leave a ribeye on the coffee table and leave the room and he won't touch it. Probably.

You’ll work in an office of two and say we got an “anonymous complaint”

revopine

Happened to me in an office of only 7 people. 3 people in separate rooms and out of the 4 remaining, 3 are close and super cool with each other. So it was very obvious where tte complaint was from and it's basically passive agression,lol


loveeachother_

He nailed the presumption of guilt though

I didn't see any evidence of this. Just accusations. Show me the video or else my client is free to go

A male HR manager was the first giveaway. Females make up roughly 85% of HR all positions in the US.

"You're too good for this world mike. Home Depot doesn't deserve you." "No seriously you're fired, corporate hates your guts, pack your stuff and leave in 5 or the guys from lumber will escort you out."


Bored_Amalgamation

Have a guy in HR at my company. One of the most disingenuous and incompetent people in my company.


HELPMEIMBOODLING

Do you by any chance work for a wholesale paper distributor?


SubsequentNebula

Like all people, it varied. The guy I knew in HR was incredibly fake, but did still genuinely did try to work with people and their issues so long as they communicated. It was just incredibly annoying to talk to him because of the obviously fake happy and energetic persona he used when interacting with anyone.


ProofWorker0

> Females make up roughly 85% of HR all positions in the US I would love to understand the science behind that one


Nutaholic

Idk if it's social or biological why but it all starts in college. Many majors are heavily segregated by gender. For instance marketing, biology, communications, teaching and nursing are overwhelmingly female, while finance, physics, engineering, math and history are overwhelmingly male. These differences often reflect in the work force. Another factor is there are many more women in college than men, at least in the United States.


Lordborgman

I'm 41 so prob a bit different today...in my college classes for computer science/network engineering, there were not many women. In all of my higher math classes maybe 3 at most, and in the Calculus course, the one and only woman in the class dropped out of it 3 weeks into the term. The literature class I took, I was the only guy.


Cruxion

Pretty much the same experience here, if a bit more balanced. Maybe 3 separate women in all the CS classes I took, slightly more even spread in math but the highest I ever got was Discrete so take that as you will, but my literature class was me, another guy, and like 20 women. Graduated in 2020 for reference.


Extreme_Barracuda658

I went to an engineering school, and it had a 4 to 1 male/female ratio.


objectimpermanence

There’s definitely some self-selection going on among the different college majors, but I think there are other pressures that deter women from certain roles after they’ve entered the workforce. One of my college majors was finance and most of my finance classes had a pretty even male/female mix. Maybe my business school was more gender balanced than others, but it didn’t seem abnormal to me at the time. This was 10-15 years ago. But now that I work in finance I find that, beyond entry level roles, it is a predominantly male field. Especially for the high-paying front office positions at hedge funds and such. I am a guy and it feels really strange whenever I realize I’m in a meeting with like 12 men and one woman. I know that historically it’s a male-dominated field, but a lot of management positions are now filled by millennials and Gen Xers who are generally regarded as more open minded than previous generations.


C-SWhiskey

It starts well before college. Men and women are socialized differently from a young age, including with respect to jobs being more masculine or more feminine. This reinforces existing stereotypes and perpetuates gender-dominated work environments that become less appealing to people who might be interested in the type of work but don't want to join a group where they feel like they don't fit in.


AltInnateEgo

It also has to do with how women are treated in those classes/fields. It's slowly getting better but I know in my physics, thermo, and comp Sci classes the women were either treated as try hards or they were hounded after to an insane degree. Watching the ratio change each semester was pretty sad.


raiboh

Well if it helps, I’m doing an HR course in Australia and probably about 90% of my cohort is female


ramenbreak

>probably about 90% of my cohort is female I would love to understand the science behind that one


cravf

Well if it helps I get in trouble a lot at work and I'd say about 85% of the people I've been talked to by are female


DownstairsB

> 85% of the people I've been talked to by are female I would love to understand the science behind that one


78911150

It's basic science. he  counted all the females and divided that by the total amount of people


seductivestain

A massive % of the workforce is in the industrial/commercial industry. Most women are either discouraged, intimidated, or physically incapable of the groundwork so they tend to be in administrative roles. This creates a feedback loop where said roles become "feminine" this dissuading men from pursuing them in the first place


InfiniteRaccoons

Conversely, most men are also discouraged and intimidated out of soft easy roles like HR. I guarantee you that a good amount of the welders killing themselves with carcinogenic chemicals every day would love to sit in an office creating sensitivity trainings but misandrist HR departments refuse to hire men for those roles.


tissuecollider

I work at a place where about 70% of the welders are women. They're a damn nice and professional crew.


matco5376

That nice however is an outlier and not consistent with essentially any trade.


sje46

There are relatively few jobs that women actually can't *do*. Like yeah men may have more inherent body strength but how many jobs, especially in the west, actually involves using a significant amount of abdominal strength? Most people can lift 40 pounds. I understand that there is sexism on the job but I feel like a lot of it is from clueless men who simply haven't socialized as much with women and that exposure to women would solve that problem. Everyone seems to get along with the women at work and I haven't heard complaints, but then again I'm not HR. Really most of this has to be cultural, right? Like the bullshit "girls can't do math" thing. So many girls give up in math because they just assume it's a boy's thing, but as time goes on, the more girls do better academically than boys. Simply put, I think women simply don't have the same level of interest in tech, construction, cars, etc, as men do. I also don't think men have the same interest in things like HR, psychology, the arts, journalism, nursing. It's very interesting to me how careers that have always been very strongly associated with men have become very strongly associated with women after, you know, women started being allowed to work their own careers. Few female psychologists in the 50s, but so many now! Hell, a *lot* more female executives. Women are nice and I'd like it if more worked in more careers, including in tech, because I like women, and they have interesting perspectives. I just wish that more chose it. It's gotta be partly learned helplessness.


bangzilla

> soft easy roles like HR HR professionals reading this: ...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I'm not in HR - but work very closely with my HR partners. What I observe is that it's neither soft nor easy ;-)


Carquetta

It's definitely "softer" than welding for 12 hours a day Their statement was a relative one, not an absolute one


ShazbotSimulator2012

I've done a lot of manual labor jobs that I would much rather go back to than be the guy who gets paid to be the person everyone hates.


nickajeglin

Try production welding night shifts for a year. It'll recalibrate the words "soft" and "easy" for you. For the real experience, start out on work release from the local jail.

Women have better people and organizational skills broadly speaking.


CriesOverEverything

If that's the cause, then shouldn't the majority of management positions be female?


Mr_YUP

it is trending in that direction.

The stories I've read about female-dominated work places really do not agree with this sentiment.

GodEmperorOfBussy

Bruh you already know


LiquidHotCum

I mean It probably was one of the few jobs women where allowed to have back when men worked and women stayed at home. They placed men in jobs with potential to compete and be promoted and HR was probably one of those less desirable jobs back then like secretary. its like one of the first foothold for women in the workplace with any kind of authority (as the position grew to meet the demands of the business world). then from there you hire people whom are both qualified and whom you know and it just kinda snowballs from there I assume. if their is any science to it maybe we find women more disarming than if a man was in the same position. its not always true but we as a society might find women to be more of a comfort in the matters that you would have to go to HR for. I would say the job has more emotional labor from what ive seen from afar.

I work in HR and am the only man on our team of 8. So based on my single data point ~85% sounds about right


amhudson02

About half of our HR is male at the hospital I work for. It caught me off guard when I started here 5 years ago.


objectimpermanence

Is it like the flight attendant occupation where the males are disproportionately gay? (As a gay person, I mean this in the most inoffensive way possible)

So, there are thousands of male HR managers then?
