Pete ( ), if its his own office then fair play. Hence saying why should others have to see it

You dont mention who the 5year old boy is? If hes some random kid you've be-friended in the local playground then yes its dodgy, but if its your son or whatever then it does sound stupid.

I expect Christmas will be banned in that office as well, that seems common-place these days

[mods sorry I mentioned the c-word, apologies in advance to any muslims who get offended]

David Lock

No it's not. Please don't pander to the "every adult's a paedo" brigade. FFS can't a 5 year old draw a piccie of Postman Pat without people thinking it's "dodgy". Anyway Pat had a big hooter IIRC

Report him to a higher management for sexually harassment... that will get him off your back!

I hope you don't employ anyone. Treating people like idiots is a great way to **** them off.

jasey

I only treat Idiots like Idiots.

If they don't like it they can **** off .

I used to work in a computer warehouse, with the sales floor and directors above. Came in in shorts one v hot day (smart khaki things, not bermudas). Was told not to, as it looked unprofessional (er, but jeans were OK?). I pointed out that all the secretaries wore shorts all the time, and no-one complained. "Ah, but they're girls." Watch his face fall when I then asked if he'd ever heard of s.1 of the Sex Discrimination Act. Next day, a memo goes round saying all shorts are banned in the office. Girls are furious.

A week later, one of the girls comes in wearing shorts. No-one says anything. Next day, I came in in shorts again

Stoopid place went bust a month or so later

Half the bints in my office are pig ugly and I find that offensive. If pics of ugly partners/kids are banned then I suggest if your face is Trout rated or worse then wearing a mask should enforced.

Obviously I would not need one as me, my wife and kid are all gorgeous

Steady Simon..... I don't recall saying **** was offensive! in fact I'm all for **** and muff over the walls in our office.... I just couldn't stand the thought of the place looking like feckin art attack of the 5 year old chimps...

I got pulled up at the Police for reading the paper, at lunch time at my desk.

I was told to close it as it may be considered offensive, sure enough I find the Daily Mail offensive (borrowed paper so couldnt be choosy), the issue was a Marks and Spencers underwear ad, a lady in her underwear stood in a demure pose in a nice room, no close up, no camel toe or anything and I got dragged into the office, now I can understand why the Sport isnt work safe but the Daily Mail ?

Its all going PC crazy

To ban a picture drawn by a 5 year old is unbelievably petty and it sounds like a manager with an inadequate personality trying to prove how powerful he is really even if he can't command any personal respect.

Respect through FEAR and DOMINATION......

As in "Any **** putting ****e drawings on the walls will be feckin sacked on the spot!.... Now get on and finish your work you feckin pond scum"

Productivity 100% - Loves Boss 0% (Boss feared and gets pay rise)

Or respect through love & understanding

"Yes put your kids drawings up Doris, and then if it isn't too much to ask I was wondering if you wouldn't mind doing some work?" ..... to which "Sorry Boss, I'm too emotional to do anywork and I'll need a day off to recover"

Productivity 0% - Loves Boss 100% (Boss also sacked)

I'm firmly with DCI Hunt on this one Well done that man for telling all the working class exactly what we expect off them at work. Our place would indeed look like a bloody art attack studio gone mad if everyone were allowed to bring in pictures drawn by loved ones and random kids off the street!
Place now looks lovely and bland, with just the dirt grey walls to contemplate as life slips by outside

oik

A member of staff who brings in a picture by his child or a member of staff that spends all day posting **** on the internet... I know which one I'd give the boot

SJ_Skyline

Dad,

Working at the post office and being reprimanded - I suggest you revert to type and "go postal"

No wonder the RM is trouble if all the posties have their own offices. Get out of yer swivel chair, get on yer bike & deliver some blinkin' letters.

DCI Gene Hunt

I ain't a member of staff though and at least the chimps that work for me don't have to read or see the ****e I post.......

Only a manager from Royal Mail would say that It's a shame Royal Mail cannot put more effot into looking after their staff and customers rather than have a pop at their staff, In fact my boss told me they can stay on the wall as they are not at all offensive, The boy in question is the son of the girl I work with, if the manager in question had asked me first maybe I would'nt have gone off the end like I did, He is so wet behind the ears the poor sod is drowning
Cheers
