As a consideration for all. If you must make popcorn in microwave, please make sure that it does not burn. This creates a strong and acrid odor which is not easily eliminated since windows do not open to outside. Thanks for your consideration.

I don't know what an acrid odor is but I know it stinks.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys. Apparently the popcorn setting on that ancient microwave is broken.

Holy crap-those guys could
Holy crap-those guys could be dangerous if left to their own devices-LOL!! We do that here too-if it's broken and you know it but you won't authorize replacing it--DEAL WITH IT!. Pull up your big boy pants and fix it already or tell me I can-take your pick. AND no snarky comments allowed beyond that. Small office jobs are perfect for having just enough employees to be able to be a shade snarky and stand up to them-we girls definitely do that here or we wouldn't stand a chance.

I hate burnt popcorn stench
I hate burnt popcorn stench as much as the next boss but I've never sent a company email about it. that's so lame.
I mean...we only have 4 people in our office but still...i'd never mention stinky food odor to them.
Although, we've all agreed tuna sandwiches should be outlawed in our office...but that was a group decision

OK, am I the only one who
OK, am I the only one who found it HYSTERICAL that the boss would admit, in a company-wide e-mail, that he doesn't know what an acrid odor is? OMG, dictionary! Don't admit your ignorance for the entire world to see!
LOL! I was thinking the
LOL! I was thinking the very same thing! Dictionary, man, dictionary!!! Duh!!
We have an ANCIENT
We have an ANCIENT microwave. I think somebody said it was an "office warming" present from one of our companies back in the 70's when they remodeled the building.
I'm waiting for the stupid thing to explode. Its got a dial setting for the minutes, dial heat setting, lever to open it and a plastic button to push for it to turn on.
I might post a pic of it on FB as a apart of the whole "Throwback" thing. LOL!
They are cheap, cheap,
They are cheap, cheap, cheap!!! We moved into our new building in November. It's very nice. However, they have not hired cleaning people, and the staff has stood together and refuse to clean the office. Now, I'll keep my office neat. I'll dust off my desk and I've even vacuumed my own office. However, the open area of the office is starting to show 3 months of use with no cleaning. There are dust bunnies piling up in the corners, the kitchen floor is disgusting - we do try to keep the bathrooms as tidy as we can, but it's starting to show that they haven't been properly cleaned. I can't imagine what the men's room looks like. I have to keep my own extra roll of toilet paper, because we have run out before because they think supplies last indefinitely. Bills are not getting paid. They even got the dreaded brown bill from the power company threatening to shut off power if it wasn't paid by a certain date. I do believe they bit off more than they can chew with this building.

Oh, I work for family. They are CHEAP!
One of our girls (or in this case, old lady..really, she's in her 80's) that works here "cleans" our office. HA! Yeah right. The bathrooms are filthy.
Everything is old and outdated. The last new stuff we got in here were new chairs, they're already falling apart.
I hate this place.
