I don't work for a mechanic and its not the 1980's but...
Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing?.....
I noticed a colleague had a black and white framed photo of a woman in a teddy, stockings, high heels and a hat and her legs akimbo at 180 degrees - gusset in full view...and it was on his desk. I knew that it would be his girlfriend, but why did he think it appropriate for it to be on his desk, in a shared office? I decided that confrontation about the photo was too much for our embryonic relationship to handle, so I just left it (but felt cross that I should feel that way).
This is not the first sighting of inappropriate workplace decoration in my organisation, oh no! First there was Loaded centrefolds in the printroom, then there was a montage of topless postcards (at least 10) in a finance office. As with me, it must have been difficult for the women sharing those offices to know how to approach a confrontation with the men that put them there.
What decade do these men think they live in? Does this happen in other workplaces (particularly office-based ones), in 2005?
