I believe it is true to say that banking is a tough environment at the moment. I generally enjoy my job and the opportunities it provides me, however improvements can always be made to my working environment. True I have chilled water, air con, ergonomically designed chair and desk, and all the mod cons I could wish for. BUT my office is missing the softer side of life. Shiona Tregaskis writes about bringing our pets into work with us. While Shiona is not convinced it is a good idea, I believe it is a fantastic idea.
I would love for my team to bring in pets. As I am the only mad cat lady in the team, Ginster would have free run of the office and would definitely increase morale and probably increase productivity. Mr Tosh often says that Ginny supported him throughout his MBA studies and the cat has a wealth of knowledge to contribute.
She is already pc proficient -
and I would be willing to work later, as I often have to rush home to get dinner ready for her.
In addition to Ginny’s technical input, she is a great stress reliever.
The only problem I see with this is Mr Tosh may get jealous…
