I understand there’s laws about food tampering and yes, it’s illegal to booby trap your lunch with ghost peppers for the office thief but what about this? I‘m not pressuring or tricking anyone into eating the gummy bears, they’re simply free to take as you walk by my desk. By the way, if you’re unaware, if you eat more than a few Haribo sugar free gummy bears, you will shit your pants. submitted by /u/ChainsawSoundingFart to r/IsItIllegal [link] [comments]

Hi desksetup community! I recently completed my new home office set up and thought I would share my thoughts on the various components. Happy to answer any questions you may have also. Desk - I went with the Desky L-Shape Melamine Sit Stand Desk in Classic Oak with white legs/frame. I went the largest size I could at 2000mmx1800mm. I am loving the desk, great size, easy to put together, looks fantastic and most important is exceptionally stable at both sitting and standing height. I would highly recommend Desky desks to anyone looking for a sit/stand desk. Also got the matching shelf and draw which adds extra functionally. Cable management is also great, as I have about 10 different things plugged in under the desk all running off a single cord to the wall outlet. Monitor - Dell UltraSharp 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitor - U2725QE. The monitor is fantastic, even with using a Mac. I cant notice any of the scaling issues that talked about online. It has great brightness and colours. I dont do any significant creative work, I am very much office style work and this monitor is perfect for what I do. Light Bar - BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2. Fanbloodytastic! This is my first light bar I have ever owned, and I cant believe it has taken me this long to get one. Yes it is expensive but the quality of the light on my work surface and the back light just make such a huge difference. Highly recommend! The seperate control wheel/dial is also fantastic, and love all the features. I use the backlight at 100% brightness during the day when I have great ambient light from outside, and the front light at 50%. At night I reduce both by about half. Chair - Ended up going with the Desky Pro Ergonomic Mesh Chair in Mint Green. This was the one component of the set up that took the longest to decide on. I was considering The Haworth Fern and the Steelcase Gesture. I ended up going with the Desky, and really happy with it. It is still a very expensive chair at just over $1,000, but I saved almost that much again by not going with one of the other 2. It is really comfortable, great lumbar support and I think looks the best of any chair I considered. Only downside is the arms are only up/down adjustable, ideally you would be able to adjust sideways also. Speaker - Soundblade Under Monitor Soundbar in Mint Green. Relatively cheap at $120, but I am really happy with the sound quality. I know you can get better sounding speakers, but what really attracted me to it was the look and how it neatly sits under your monitor. Webcam - Logitech MX Brio 4K. This is my first dedicated webcam, as I had previously just used the built in ones on my laptop. Have to say I knew it was going to be better, but wow the difference is huge. The picture quality is amazing and the beam forming microphone does a decent job. Really happy with it. Printer - Epson ET-2810. I dont do a huge amount of printing, it is mostly for the kids school assignments etc. So just wanted something in white, not too big and eco tank ink tanks so you knew you always had ink when required. Really happy with it and not too expensive at about $400 from memory. Wireless Charger - Just a random Amazon charger, but went with this because it was also made of Oak Wood and matched the aesthetics of my set up. Works well, and look great, really happy with it. Accessories - The bin is from Target, only $19, has an auto opener and also in the mint green to match. Lamps are from Bunnings, which were relatively cheap but match the Oak wood/white & the Mint Green. Couch was from a local furniture retailer, not expensive. Side Table was also from Target, it was just over $100, but has a real marble top. Cushions from Target at $40 each. Lego was from the kids lego room, they enjoyed helping me decorate which was fun. I used to be into photography so have my Sigma 50-500mm out as decoration also. Overall - I am really happy with how it turned out, and really enjoy spending time here. I am not the sort of bloke that has tools in a garage or man cave, so this is my sort of man cave. I like that if I am not working I can sit back on the couch and watch Youtube or Netflix and be very happy in my space. Anyways just thought I would share and happy to answer any questions. submitted by /u/Unusual_Sea_7548 to r/desksetup [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Antique_Bet_3553 Originally posted to r/LegaladviceUK I spent £17,900 converting aspects of my office (break room, desk, elevator, and disabled bathroom) to make it accessible for an employee with a disability who requested these changes. They left two weeks after the work was finished. Can I go after them for some costs in small claims court? Thanks to u/soayherder + u/SmartQuokka for suggesting this BoRU Trigger Warnings: possible ableism Original Post: November 25, 2025 They've decided to move back down to Cornwall with family. Another staff member who she is friendly with said she'd been planning to leave since August. This means that this staff member knew they weren't going to be around to use these adjustments. I spent a load of money renovating an old elevator, lowering countertops in the breakroom to make them accessible, and getting a special desk area to help them with their disability. These are all things which they requested along with a doctors note explaining their disability, and a copy of their PIP decision which showed they were awarded standard daily living and why. (editor's note: Personal Independence Payment, UK welfare benefit to help with extra living costs for people with physical / mental health condition or disability) We met several times through August and September to discuss their needs and whether there was any compromises I could make to reduce costs. She stated there wasn't. Never once did she mention that she was leaving in November. Work finished on the 10th November. She resigned on Friday 21st without any notice. I don't want to sound spiteful, but is there any way I can reclaim any of these costs? The disabled bathroom had to be widened and have special rails fitted to accommodate them. Additionally, a special desk was purchased for them and break room counters were lowered. None of these things actually benefit any of my other staff who aren't disabled. The whole budget that would've gone on Christmas bonuses has been completely blown on someone who wasn't even intending to stay with us. I do have emails from this staff member to her friend where she discusses moving back with her family in Cornwall and her plans. It's crystal clear that she was intending to leave in November. I've got that in writing. It's worth noting that one reason behind these high costs was that I had to pay a premium to get the work done quickly. While this was happening I permitted this staff member to work from home as and when they needed to in line with their disabilities. I never required them to come into the office until the accomodation work was done. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: So was this a job that could be done from home? OOP: Not fully. We operate a 3/2 model. She was fully remote given her disability with staff in the office picking up things she couldn’t do remotely. Commenter 2: It doesn't seem like a crime has been committed here - not even a civil one. They haven't misrepresented anything - nor entered into a contract that would require they pay for it. You seem to have done everything in line with the Eq Act 2010. (editor's note: UK act - the Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society) You could write this off as renovations and put in your job advertisements: "disability friendly office: lift, disabled toilet, etc etc etc". And if you sell the building (if it is yours to sell) later down the line - you could advertise that as part of the sale. OOP: True. Most likely avenue I'll go down. I'm just furious and upset right now. The whole team and I all bent over backwards for her. She used it once when I told her the renovations were complete and she needed to start working 3/2 hybrid with her colleagues. Then she just left. She really put me and her colleagues under immense pressure to accommodate her. Her teammates had to do things that needed done in office. They drove stuff out to her house when she asked for it. We're all just disgusted by her behaviour. Commenter 3: Emphasis is on reasonable adjustments. If OP didn't think they were reasonable it should have been said when they were requested. As the employee has been working from home for several months as needed, that could have been made a long term reasonable adjustment Vs the costly adjustments in-office. I assume OP has a reason for this but I can't think what it would be if WFH PRN has been managed successfully for so long. OOP: Her colleagues have been doing the parts of her job that need done in the office. The agreement was always that she'd be back on a 3/2 hybrid when renovations were complete. OOP explains more about the emails between the staff member and her friend about moving, the adjustments at the office and Christmas bonuses OOP: Emails were sent on our office Outlook system. Supplied by a staff member she was friends with who is now furious at her because the Xmas bonus has been spent on this. I usually give all my staff £1k to £2k extra at Christmas depending on how well we do. This nonsense has left us with no spare cash to do anything more than maybe £50 each. I'm furious and embarrassed about this. + 15 staff members are going without a ~£1000 Christmas bonus because she lied that she needed these accommodations made, when I have email receipts proving she never was never going to be using them. In September she sent an email to her friend confirming she was going to Cornwall in November. Despite this, she kept pushing for adjustments to be made during this time and stated ahe could not come into the office until they were complete. She NEVER mentioned to me once that she was going to be leaving. Commenter 4: Why didn't you just let them permanently work remote? You did this to yourself by requiring them to report to the office. OOP: Because her colleagues were having to do the aspects of her job on our site that she wasn't coming in for. She also used to work in-office full time pre-covid. She was the one employee who refused to move to hybrid with the others. Commenter 5: Just to be a little different here, just want to say… what a fucker. Lots of time, money and effort and for what feels right now for nothing. Lots of good advice here but just wanted to validate your feelings of frustration and bewilderment. Let’s hope they don’t ask for a reference!!! This definitely feels unfair! Hopefully a lot of the work can be tax deductible maybe!? OOP: Yeah, it's all a business expense. I'd still rather have given that money to my staff though. I feel like complete shit not giving an Xmas bonus this year. That's why i'm up at 2am. Looking to see what I can do. I can probably manage £200 each from my personal savings. Add on some extra by taking her off payroll. Maybe make £500 if I'm lucky. Commenter 6: You are out of luck then. Sounds like the job can be done just as easily from home, and your arbitrary demand to make someone work from an office instead is a 17k mistake on your part. It’s tough to feel sorry for you, because all of this could have been avoided if you simply acted reasonably to begin with. OOP: There are aspects which can only be done in person. I dont want to risk identifying my business - but it can only be done partially-remote. Even during lockdown we needed 3-4 staff rotating in to the site.   Update: £17,900 spent converting office for employee who left.: November 27, 2025 (two days later) Update: £17,900 spent converting office for employee who left. Good evening everyone, Just wanted to follow up now that a little bit of time has passed and I have a clearer head. I've consulted with a solicitor who advised there was a strong case for pursuing this employee for costs, however, it would be disadvantageous for PR reasons. In light of that I've decided not to pursue them for costs at present. I wasn't particularly clear in my previous post, but the office I was in already had a functional elevator, disabled bathroom etc. My employee's disability, size and weight meant that they were unable to use the existing elevator and bathroom which is why she specifically demanded that they be changed. I've also seen a lot of comments and got a lot of messages asking why my employee couldn't just keep working from home given that they'd been working remotely since 2019. Not sure where this came from - it isn't true. Our whole staff (including the employee with a disability) was 100% in office before covid. She was working in our office in person for years before Covid without reporting any accessibility issues. After covid (in March 2020) we all went remote apart apart from 3-4 staff who rotated to do the in-office duties. This didn't work well and we adopted a hybrid policy for all staff. The employee with a disability was the sole one who refused to return to the office when hybrid working was reintroduced. There were a lot of comments saying I should have sought funding from DWP. We tried that avenue at the time through this government scheme. There was no funding for the type of adjustments that she was requesting be made. Other people asked why I "did nothing for 5 years" and then "rushed this through." This also isn't true. During those 5 years I made a concerted and continuous effort to bring staff back into the office in a hybrid pattern. This staff member was not the only one who required adjustments and I have a fairly large team. During this time I engaged with this employee who had a disability, worked with them applying and enquiring with the DWP's access to work program etc. Speaking with the solicitor and showing him what we had before, he said it was clear my office already met the requirements under the Equality Act 2010. (With the exception of the lowered counters in breakroom, which were installed.) The improved elevator and the wider disabled bathrooms which we now have go beyond the requirements of the Act. On the subject of the Christmas bonus, through a combination of no longer having to pay for the employee who left and selling some of my personal stocks/shares I've been able to partially-fund this year's Christmas bonus. Relevant / Top Comments Commenter 1: Can you please explain how you were going to pay the staff bonuses before this staff member quit? Or was your plan all along to blame this staff member for the lack of bonus this year, even if she had stayed? That’s something that wasn’t clear from your last post, and it could impact on any potential litigation. OOP: Staff are a lot more accepting of not getting a bonus if it means that a colleague with a disability is getting the support that they need. Staff are not accepting of a colleague making demands, pushing her work onto them, refusing to come back in when everyone else did with hybrid, and then disappearing when the company has spent £17k making adjustments specifically for her. Commenter 2: I'm not surprised you found a solicitor who was willing to take your money but it's surprising your HR employee didn't tell you that you were wrong before your consultation. Commenter 3: Whichever solicitor told you that was taking you for a ride. You say the work cost more because you had to do it fast, but it seems like the deadline was something imposed on your end not anybody else's? Surely they could have kept WFH whilst the renovations were carried out? The stuff about previously not needing adjustments 6 years ago is irrelevant, people's circumstances and health changes over time. Presumably her GP and the PIP assessor knew more about her health situation than you do Commenter 4: As someone who specialised in equality act related reasonable adjustments for disabled employees, I’m still extremely doubtful that you have a case, and doubtful that the adjustments you made go “beyond reasonable” In part because you actually made them. If they were truly unreasonable, you wouldn’t have been able to put them in place.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]
