It’s great and I wouldn’t have been able to have a dog otherwise, back when I still went to the office.
I understand, if there are many dogs it can cause problems between them. My previous job requires all dogs to stay in the room and not run around freely.
Of course, if the dog is misbehaving or colleagues have allergies, then it’s simply not possible. If it’s a big company they could have a dog daycare.
Hell yeah I would love that. As long as it was made sure that there was no one at the workplace who is allergic or scared of dogs or something
So fire people because they have allergies?
Lmao noooo I mean don’t invite the dog if someone has allergies
No, just broadcast thinly-veiled resentment at them (in my experience having been the person with allergies in that situation).
I absolutely love it cause it’s such a fantastic break from the stress and frustration of working. Dog comes in and you just get to chill out and pet a dog for a bit while getting paid for it. But I could definitely see it being annoying if the dog was yapping all day or just being annoying. I haven’t had a bad experience tho.
One or two well behaved dogs and it’s awesome.
Not acceptable at all. But bringing a cat would be just fine.
What a nightmare
No work would get done because of all the cats on keyboards!
Our dog comes to our restaurant everyday. she’s either upstairs out of the way or in the back patio during service. When she is in the back patio, the amount of people who stop to pet & spoil her is incredible. At the end of service her job is to clean the floor of spilled food, she is quite skilled. She also cleans the street around the terrace seating onnour way home. She’s old, fat & happy. She’s the best.
Sounds to me like an absolute nightmare, putting many dogs together ensures some of them won’t like each other and will create a bark fest, triggering other dogs to bark too. Dogs might be pack animals, but their pack is with its humans and it will try to protect its pack from other packs
We did a “bring your dog to work day” at my workplace and this is pretty much how it went. By noon, all the dog-bringers had taken their pets home.

Berlin is not common for Germany. It’s really uncommon in Germany to have pets in offices.
I’m all for it. Any problem dogs won’t be allowed back in, and it’s nice having man’s best friend in the office.
No way. I don’t want my clothes and computer covered in dog hair. I don’t want my fingers licked. I don’t want to smell dog breath or wet dog. I don’t want to look at my coworker’s dog taking a shit or peeing on the carpet, nor do I want to smell it.
Hard no for me. People feel way too entitled to bring their dogs everywhere. Your being a pet owner doesn’t mean everyone else also has to love and want to be around your dog. I’m afraid of most big dogs and if I had to routinely encounter them at work, I’d be looking for a different job. I’m also very allergic to them and despite taking allergy meds every day, I’d be miserable with dogs in a shared space I couldn’t escape.
Hard to imagine a dog wearing safety boots, hardhat, hi-vis vest and safety goggles while also having completed the proper safety training to enter the jobsite
I love dogs, but I have OCD, and their fur is a huge trigger for me. It might be my biggest one these days. Some people have allergies.
I think unless it is a service dog and you need the dog with you at work, leave the dog at home.
I’ve allowed it during overtime as long as all the people in the office were ok with it and no one could tell there were dogs there later. It becomes more problematic during normal business hours.
Dog owners are some of the most entitled people in the world. I swear the invention of those green dog poop bags was terrible for this planet because everyone bags the dog poop, ties it shut, and LEAVES THE BAG on trails or sidewalks or in bushes. JFC people, be responsible for your pet!
I used to cut grass for the city, I feel this comment 100% and don’t get me wrong I think dogs are beautiful animals but holy shit their owners can be the worst, if you don’t want to pick it up what makes you think I want it all over my face and clothes? And yes, leaving your dog’s fecies in a bag just makes matters worse dumb arse, take it with you!
Thank god not everyone does this or you’d see millions of them everywhere. There’s definitely the odd deranged dog owner who thinks it a good idea to – instead of cleaning up the dog shit – package it such that it does not ever decay.
I’ve got a tendency to pick these up and throw them out because otherwise I’ll be looking at them for months.
One dog in my current line of work is too much already usually. However I always love it and makes me happy to give my attention to a pup. But I’d say in general no. Too many cooks.
