Sydney offices record spike in weather related banter, as it was both ‘sweltering yesterday’ and ‘so stormy,’ today
November 28, 2024
QUALITY BANTER: Fast changing weather conditions have triggered a wave of generic weather related conversations across Sydney workplaces.
Office banter surged this afternoon amid warnings of a thunderstorm and heavy rain.
But yesterday, a heatwave sparked warnings of blackouts.
“Wow, there are so many things to talk about at the moment,” said one worker this afternoon.
“It’s really exciting!” replied another. “What a time to be alive.”
But productivity experts are urging people to avoid weather related conversations.
“They are unnecessary and boring,” says expert Lyle French. “Everyone knows what the weather is, all you need to do is look outside.”
“If you pass someone in the corridor, just say hello, or just nod your head, and leave it at that.”
