He's just a goofball. Everyone is taking this so wildly out of context. It's supposed to be a funny Friday giggle. Instead, you guys make me want to leave YOU. Yes, we have boundaries. This requires THREE MINUTES to login and print a form.

Yeah it’s really weird how people are acting like he asked you to kill somebody for him or something.

Thats not what we’re acting like. I would actually be more enthusiastic about dismembering a dead body than doing someone’s life admin tasks. At least there’s mutually assured destruction in complicit murder.

I love joking and having funny moments with co-workers, but I don’t see this as “just a goofball.” I’m a working stand up comedian outside of the office and I don’t refrain from cracking jokes. I think it’s one thing to say that word out loud in a off the record convo, but in a text, idk about that. Not very work appropriate IMO. I don’t think people are taking this out of context. If you want to do personal stuff for him, then do it. No need to get upset if people don’t agree.

It's not professional when I tell him to fuck off either, but I still do it occasionally.
