Answer: No. When you have them lick business envelopes for you, then the answer changes to yes.
Ha! Thanks I’ll try to reign it in
My initial thought from just the title was, "Yes, absolutely. No matter what this guy's justification is the work place is not a place for your dogs."
But surprising myself after reading your post im kinda like, "Actually that ain't bothering anyone at all and they're prob happy to have someone relatively happy at the job as opposed to not so if the dogs do that no one cares."
In your very unique circumstances I really doubt anyone cares.
Yeah my company lots of folks bring their dogs. Some are office dogs. Some are kennel-kept. As far as them following you around as you make rounds on the property, seems like nobody'd give a shit.
Yeah my company lots of folks bring their dogs. Some are office dogs. Some are kennel-kept. It is better that way. We are all fur-dads and fur-moms here.
The only problems we have had were when new hires enter the office. We keep the dog kennels by the office door, and apparently some of the new people don't like our company culture.
There are a few pitbull mommies and daddies in our office (rescue dogs), so when new hires, particularly white women, they get upset when the cute lil' pebbles try to say 'hello', by baring their teeth and ramming against the kennel door.
I guess they don't understand the value of rescue dogs. They served no other purpose in life, other than to make their second owners happy in theirs.
I think all offices would be happier, and more accepting, of they just let rescue pits into their environment.
Nobody seems to at all, I just wonder about the perception sometimes
You have a staffed tower at a small non commercial private airport?
Yeah they operate out of here but they also take care of 3 other locations. That was a good question
Around here you just land and take off and might see somebody at small ports if you look for them.
There’s rumours that they’re leaving in a couple years but yeah we’d just go to a system that you click the radio a bunch of times and the lights turn on. For me I’d just broadcast my intentions to the universe for runway checks and whatnot
Obviously your dogs are well behaved. I'm glad your situation allows you to bring them to work. If anyone had a problem with it, I'm sure you would have heard about it. Best thing I've read all day and I'm a cat person.
Dogs are better workers than people.
I fill coyote holes along the fence line with rocks and it just moved them. As soon as it got warm I brought the dogs and walked the fence line. No more calls about coyotes inside the fence. I assume it’s the piss
If they don't have problems with niggers in the workplace, they have no right to be bothered by your dogs.
I trust K9s more than niggers...
Generally speaking, I'm an other people’s dog lover. That is, I'll never own my own dog, but I like other people’s dogs. As long as your dogs aren't nigger dogs, you're not weird to bring your dogs with you.
No. I like it when I go into small towns and the people working in places have their dogs with them. It is a nice sign that you're not in a big city and folks in there are nice.
It's not strange to keep dogs at work, in some situations like yours. If you're an unapproachable hermit, then having two dogs follow you around is really good for your image in my opinion. Dogs are like personality thermometers. If people only know two things about you, that you are doing your job and have two addorable dogs following you around while you're doing it, it tells most people everything they need to know about you who wont get to talk to you.
One of the biggest concerns a person has with a person who keeps to themselves is that they dont know anything about them and what they dont know could make that person dangerous. Two happy well adjusted dogs tells people that you are not to be confused for a creepy loser. You dont have a short temper that you take out on the people around you (If you dont do it to dogs, youre less likely to do it to humans).
Do you want to have more conversation and be approachable? If not, then whatever youre doing is just fine. Unless your boss is scared of or hates dogs you shouldnt have anything to worry about. I'm suprised more people dont try to talk to you, if i met a guy on the job with two dogs, i would have to make an active effort not to habitually engage in conversation with the guy just so i can pet the dogs. Though in my line of work, having a dog on the job would have been unacceptable
Thanks this is kind of what I thought at first too but I just wondered after a while if maybe I got it twisted.
My boss is the airport manager and he doesn’t even live here lol his main job is a couple hours south. However he works for the airport association which is made up of 7 of the owners of the hangers at the airport and I’ve only met the president of the board who I used to work for at his charter company. He’s the one who got me this job after I told him I was interested after the last guy retired.
I was the safety officer of his charter company before and I never brought my dogs to work then but once I got the lay of the land in this new role I didn’t see the harm considering I’m usually outside and a good distance from everyone else. I have my own maintenance shop as well so when I have to go air side or into the forestry camp for water testing they just hang out and nap in there.
I never got the idea that it was pissing people off and nobody has ever said anything, I just wonder if people think I’m weird or creepy lol
I don’t necessarily want people to talk to me but at the same time if nobody does then that kind of gets in my head, maybe I just have too much opportunity to think about dumb things, being by myself all the time
Your take is the best I could hope for though I think I’ve hit the sweet spot between work and life so as long as I’m not getting negative attention I’ll take it for what it is
Fake and gay.
