I canÂ’t believe companies are actually doing this.

One in five companies let's you take your pet to work?

LetÂ’s face it; most people canÂ’t take care of themselves let alone their pets. I love animals but I donÂ’t need a petting zoo down at the office. I donÂ’t want to smell dog while IÂ’m negotiating and I donÂ’t want to hear barking when IÂ’m on the phone. I may not want to pet someoneÂ’s dog that hasnÂ’t had a bath in weeks.

Just because you know how to train and care for animals doesnÂ’t mean everyone does. HowÂ’d you like to walk into the building and have some dog start humping your leg? What if the animals donÂ’t get along well with others? What happens when your dog jumps on me and starts scratching at my expensive suit?

The problems are endless and people have allergies and all kinds of shit can go wrong. And I'm not even addressing people bringing howler monkies and gibbons.

The policy has drawbacks, she conceded. "I'm talking to you in the bathroom because I don't want my dogs to start barking and interrupting our conversation," she said from her home office in Cape Coral, Florida. "They can get a little loud."

Yeah. IÂ’ll start making my calls from the shitter. I canÂ’t spend enough time in a small room while people are taking dumps. Maybe IÂ’ll move my desk in there full time, huh?

Idiots.
