Pet-Obsessed Co-WorkersTwo colleagues recently lost their pets, and another colleague took up a collection to send flowers. In one case, the collection extended to purchasing a sympathy toy for the colleague’s remaining, living pet. Is it a common practice in today’s workplace culture, or is it, as I think, utterly bananas? I don’t know if it is a common practice in workplace culture or beyond, but I do know the loss of a pet can be devastating. That’s the only thing you need to know about workplace culture.
