Fraternal exhibitions of corporate machismo are commonplace at startups. Like, say, Nerf gun battles among male colleagues. Only, to many women, they can be non-inclusive and even threatening.
b i c t h is you for real? Go get another job or join the Nerf battles. Some people have real problems.
Sometimes Vice is genuinely interesting, Vice is one of my favorite shows on HBO the documentaries go deep into some taboo shit(interview with a cannibal). Other times they hire some dumb broad who graduated from some small school in Vermont with a liberal arts degree to write a dumb article for their mentally challenged feminine arm.
I work in an administrative office (very high female:male ratio since we were the HR/payroll/training dept) and my coworkers and I are alway fucking around with nerf, snapping rubber/hairbands, throwing pens at eachother when it's slow and the boss isn't looking, etc. - Women LOVE inflicting minor injuries on eachother at work.
I assume the Emerrson is a frigid, friendless bitch. Or maybe she just always loses the shootouts and is whining so no one else can play.
not putting tape on the bottom of everyone's mouses before they come in, then watching the shit show as they rush to find batteries and then side stare you when they find the tape.
I prefer ctrl alt left. Some people can work with a reversed mouse. Sideways fucks everyone up. I usually stand next to them telling them how to access display properties and where to go to change orientation, watching them as they inch their cursor closer to the tab they want.
"Oh, that camp? I wouldn't go there if I were you. Shut down after some campers went missing in the 90's. No one ever found anything of them but their clothes. Government used to test the effects of LSD there in the 50's, you know. Yup, a lot of history at that camp. They say a Confederate platoon was wiped out in an ambush by Union soldiers on that site back during the Civil War. They just turned over the soil and buried em in shallow graves."
This is literally what guys mean when they point out this common pattern, "guys start fun club, girls join fun club, girls make club not fun any more."
Okay, so. Nerf gun battles aren't cool. They rank as slightly less cool than dodgeball
Your priorities are wrong. Just wrong.
do paintball, or better yet, get drunk together
So with paintball, don't you have the EXACT thing going on as with nerf guns, except now with added bruises and paint stains? As for getting drunk together, I thought bars were the shrines of toxic masculinity and rape culture? Make up your minds!
People that do not engage with their coworkers are often passed over for promotions and advancement opportunities. I bet we'll be seeing this writer again in a few months.

It's pretty fucked up that you think the company shouldn't cater to a female employee's demands.
n/a ChaoticEvil 2017-04-25
I hope another woman doesn't defend the Nerf wars. I won't know what to do.

Also what the fuck I've been on reddit for 6 years.

Buy a nerf machine gun, and set up a tripwire in front of your office.

their human interest stories are really cool, but the moment they report on politics they become mother jones tier.
n/a Michaelphelpsisquick 2017-04-25
Yes they should just stay out of politics, there slightly better version of The Young Turks

If they leave their computer unlocked (noobs) then screenshot their desktop and set is as their background, then untick 'show desktop icons'.

I use to press ctrl alt up and flip peoples screens. New people or people with no computer knowledge couldn't understand it. Lol

Making offensive alterations to their email signature block is always a hoot as well.

Just drop their production databases or randomly delete an oracle arc file for funsies

Usually it's just emotional, though.
BTW, glad to see you revived this account after 2 years to post this comment.

white skin is very fragile and bruises easily. For safety reasons DO NOT shoot them with nerf guns or any other type of gun.

Seriously a good ol clubhouse circle jerk game of soggy bisket gets turned into a bukkake massif once the girls show up.

tbh the high school fuck up culture is the real startup problem
all the fun stuff is just a cover for the fact that they expect you to put in 60h weekly minimum for shit pay and no benefits
