No one cares how good or bad you write or talk, or however much education you have, none of that matters to a single employer on every job site!
Do me a favour, then, and stay away from
my work sites... Good writing, good speech and good knowledge matter to me, my crews, my engineers, and our 17 million customers.
Firstly, if you work in a place where folk need to be reminded the fridge doors must be shut then either 1) you are in a very unfortunate set of circumstances (colleague wise) and the only note that needs writing is your CV/resignation; or 2) you need to buy a new fridge.
And secondly.....?
There was a firstly, so there should at least be a secondly....
Whether a fridge door or something else, it's still just asking politely people to stop something being a problem.
I don't think there's a single workplace in this country where people wouldn't need reminding of such things. Same for all the H&S posters everywhere, since those are all things you'd expect people to know anyway and are almost certainly things they've been trained to do, yet there are still posters about working from height or lifting boxes correctly...
"Tier 3 escalation" is what I imagine boomer Colin's and Karen's call the threat level above tutting and muttering.
Oh, you mean you made it up? It's not actually a real thing? OK, I'll just disregard it, then.
As for this whole 'Boomers' rant - You'll find that it's actually the subsequent generations rebelling against the solid, structured Boomer work ethic that has led to the self-entitled millenial attitude, which subsequently birthed the modern woke culture. Boomers are barely even around any more. The woke are mostly the kids of Gen X and Gen Y, bu there are not a few of those Gens who are also adopting the wokishness and self-entitlement for themselves.
As is, there's nothing wrong with having your own desk, as it lends a degree of consistency and stability to your workplace. Otherwise every day is just a lefty liberal woke bun-fight over the good desks and then cry-bully bitching about the office bullies who always win them.
Work lockers become necessary (industry-dependent) as you progress along the career path and acquire various books, kit and associated accessories, at least until you're senior enough to get your own private office.
Tea and coffee is nice if you like it, but not something to begrudge others if you don't. Plenty don't like the brands provided and bring their own. What's your issue with that? Not everyone works within practical range of a woke coffee bar serving double-grande-cappu-frappu-mocha-chocca-chino-chai-soy-latte....
I already said. Notes that point to rules are less effective than a single note that briefly reminds your colleagues to respectful to others. I mean, they are paid to work, not to close doors, right?
You said it's been proven - Do you have any proof of this?
Moreover, what "rules" do you think are being pointed out here, exactly? At worst, it's pointing to the common courtesy and social convention of not being an inconsiderate *****.
Simply saying "be nice" does nothing to address
any specific problem. If it did, we'd not have stacks of books thick with all the laws of the country, there'd just be a plaque with those two words.
If it did, we'd not need Black Lives Matter, or any of the other movements that seek to address specific causes.
This thread is about language and effective communication - Telling people stop doing wrong does nothing unless you also tell them what they're doing wrong.
Regarding this fridge door, why not adjust it so the front of the fridge is higher than the back of the fridge and gravity will assist closure. Some fridges have adjustable feet but you may have to fold some cardboard and lay it under the front.
It doesn't work if the door has too much weight in, such as being recently filled with milk, or if it is open beyond the balance point which is usually around 30º.
But more importantly, why does an environment have to be designed to cater for, pander to and encourage the behaviour of a few people being lazy, careless and inconsiderate? You should raise them up to your level, not drag everything else down to their lowest common denominator.
