Pod Rules

As most of you know, I work in an office comprising many pods. My pod is the ultimate pod, and every man and his dog wants to join. In the last couple of months we've welcomed a new member - known as IT Helpdesk - and I'd like to comment on his loyalty...or lack thereof.

When a person is a member of a pod, or indeed, any club, society or elite group, there must be an element of exclusivity. Joining the pod necessarily means that you take on the manners of said pod, and act accordingly. IT Helpdesk has committed the following crimes since joining:

1. Regression to old Pod - that's right, not only does he consistently enter and converse with his old pod, but he also joins in on their 'pod meeting' on a weekly basis.
2. Misdirection of Interest - a Pod member must retain a constant state of disinterest to the goings-on of other pods. Conversing with other pods in an inquisitive manner is just not on.
3. Misdirected loyalty in general - when your pod decides to slag off and laugh at the expense of other pod members, your interaction is required. Defending, and covering up for, other pod members is a crime of such a magnitude that it may be unforgivable.

In short, IT Helpdesk needs to keep these basic rules in mind and change his disloyal ways. As we're populating the most popular pod in the office, a replacement member won't be hard to come by.

Consider this your first warning.
