Just wondering if any of you shake hands with everyone at work?

We shake hands every morning and shake hands with everyone when we leave. It felt weird at first but it makes everyone at work feel like friends and family. Let's be honest these are the people we spend more time with than our real family!

lol

anyway so do you shake hands or not?

You're all one step away from rubbing penis's tbh

How many people do you work with?

Where do you work and what is your company responsible for?

Try and get a job shaking hands with people. I haven't seen shakey-hand-man for a while now... maybe there's an opening?

Honey catches more flies than vinegar.

These are people we spend 40 hours a week with. I'm not condoning homosexuality but you might as well attempt to get on with these people.

Well in this building give or take there is 30-50 of us.

I work for a hosting company so it is hardware/networking/software etc..

yeah i do it with mates at work after finishing a shift, more for a sorta "job well done" kinda feeling, nothing wrong with it

Azagoth · 29 Jul 2009 at 18:00

Not all, it's ever so slightly weird. It's nothing more a quick "Ow at mate, hows thay doin'" for us.

Does seem a bit odd... However, I normally shake hands with friends that I have not seen in a while... Every day with work colleagues is a bit odd... Is it a company policy or something?...

memyselfandi · 29 Jul 2009 at 18:00

We tend to only shake hands when you are meeting unknown people at meetings. I have worked with people though who would greet their "friends" every morning by shaking hands.

Damn where do you lot work? In places where there is nothing but hate?

It isn't healthy to shake hands with everybody where I work.

the nurse in charge of the shift always goes around and says thanks for your hard work today at the end of their shift. it sometimes feels fake, but when you get it and its sincere its quite nice really.

We start the day with Good Morning Mrs Stretton, Good Morning Everyone.

Afternoon: Good Afternoon Mrs Stretton, Good Afternoon Everyone.

The children always seem to sing it as well!

I would see doing that every morning and evening very fake, i shook hands with everyone when i first started and when i first meet them.

It'd make me feel pressured if i had to do that everyday for everyone in our office...
