Hard to imagine a dog wearing safety boots, hardhat, hi-vis vest and safety goggles while also having completed the proper safety training to enter the jobsite
The workplace, that has no need for hygiene or customer care, fine. My workplace? No. It’s me or the dog and no half measures. Same for cats - I don’t need toxoplasmosis.
Are you… anti dogs and cats? What does that even mean?
His name is antimutt, you tell me
My main question was the “what does that even mean?” part. The first question was mostly rhetoric. Idk his name could be a coincidence or a joke as well, who know.
Dunno - I don’t get to find out. If a dog comes in I have to go out. And cats would be ok, if they didn’t have an endemic disease and didn’t devastate the local wildlife and came when you called.
But no, I think I’m a people oriented person - you can get a conversation out of them. And I heard there were very few pets posting to Lemmy.
That’s not what I asked at all lmao your name is antimutt. And your answers are weird as fuck. I still don’t get it lol
So you want me to explain No. Well, let’s see if I can break that d… No!
My work allows dogs. I’d say there’s probably about 8-10 dogs that are regulars, most of which don’t come in every single day, but a few do. We’re hybrid, so at most they’re in office 3 days a week. There is a whole section in our handbook regulating bringing dogs in, so it’s not a free for all by any means. And people use common sense, I’ve yet to see someone trying to make it work with an ill behaved dog. I might hear a woof or bark on somebody’s way in maybe once a month.
It’s great! I love getting to see dogs at work! The policies we have are pretty explicit about keeping your dog in your office and supervised at all times (except for going in/out, or bringing them to meetings presuming that whoever you’re meeting with is comfortable with it.)
Idk if I have any allergic coworkers, but it’s not like I’m bumping into pups in the hall non stop, and they’re pretty good about accommodating various needs. I can’t imagine they would refuse someone asking for a different office if they wanted to move because the next guy over brings his dog often. The whole setup is far less dramatic than people might assume. It’s still a place of business, not a dog park.
I personally like it when my coworkers bring their dogs. They’re chill so they can hang out without being rambunctious and loud, and they help with stress. I like it when they sleep at my feet, or poke my leg for some pets. I understand why some people in the comments don’t want them but honestly it greatly improves my day when they’re here.
We don’t have any coworkers who are allergic, but if we did, it would naturally be a dealbreaker.
Depends on the dog.
I have three pups and two of them just would not handle it well.
The other would behave well enough, but no work would get done, that dog is a total slut for pets lol.
I would find it awkward if not only my colleagues but also their pets would suddenly be in my home. I would need to wear pants and I don’t even know how everyone would fit in here. There’s not enough space.
I’ve allowed it during overtime as long as all the people in the office were ok with it and no one could tell there were dogs there later. It becomes more problematic during normal business hours.
Dog owners are some of the most entitled people in the world. I swear the invention of those green dog poop bags was terrible for this planet because everyone bags the dog poop, ties it shut, and LEAVES THE BAG on trails or sidewalks or in bushes. JFC people, be responsible for your pet!
Thank god not everyone does this or you’d see millions of them everywhere. There’s definitely the odd deranged dog owner who thinks it a good idea to – instead of cleaning up the dog shit – package it such that it does not ever decay.
I’ve got a tendency to pick these up and throw them out because otherwise I’ll be looking at them for months.
I used to cut grass for the city, I feel this comment 100% and don’t get me wrong I think dogs are beautiful animals but holy shit their owners can be the worst, if you don’t want to pick it up what makes you think I want it all over my face and clothes? And yes, leaving your dog’s fecies in a bag just makes matters worse dumb arse, take it with you!
One dog in my current line of work is too much already usually. However I always love it and makes me happy to give my attention to a pup. But I’d say in general no. Too many cooks.
This is a tough one for me… on one hand, I’ve had multiple jobs where I can bring my dog/s with me (construction and delivery) which was amazing. Having your best friend with you all day is pretty fun.
On the other hand, it’s completely unacceptable to inconvenience others just so I can bring my dog with me.
I’d say it’s cool if you’re in a position where it doesn’t affect others.
That being said, in canada, now most major big box stores allow dogs in (not even service animals, just dogs trained enough to be polite in public) which has cut down on the amount of dogs left in hot/cold vehicles
My OT sometimes brings her therapy golden retriever and it’s always a treat. Very big and friendly but low energy
Terrible, my colleagues all seem to love it though. It smells bad and when both the chihuahua and big dog are in together the barking takes me out my flow constantly. They now know I don’t love them licking my hands from under the table suddenly so the owner will fetch it. Was annoying when I just started and folks assumed everyone likes it.
