Weird workplace wants

Nearly 3000 full time hiring managers in the U.S. recently revealed the crazy, wacky, and oft-outrageous employee requests from their various suggestion boxes. Harris Interactive conducted the online survey for Careerbuilder.

One exhibitionist employee wanted permission to change her clothes in her cubicle, while another wan worker wished for a tanning bed in the break room.

Beer in the vending machine was requested by Greta Guzzler, while another valued employee asked that family medical leave be extended to cover his jail time (hopefully this wasn’t the CFO.)

Bikini Friday was a request of one lithesom lady (or perhaps leering lad), while Nick Nyctophobia asked to work only when the sun was up.

Mary Juana wanted a very “special” smoking section (we’ll let you guess), and another respondent asked (of her human resources representative) that her human resources representative wear nicer shoes. No word on whether she still works there.

Not clowning around at all, another staffer wanted to take additional time off to pursue his second career as a comic performer.

Weary Wanda wanted to replace her desk with a futon so she could work supine.

An employee swimming pool, and relocation of the team meeting to Hawaii rounded out the wish lists.

Would that these folks had thought outside the suggestion box. smile
