Personally I don’t mind, but I find it problematic mostly because not everyone can be around dogs, be it because of allergies or past experiences.
This is actually really common in Germany. Not generally in big firms, but the whole office complex where my company is based in Berlin, declares itself dog friendly and you can just bring them in.
Berlin is not common for Germany. It’s really uncommon in Germany to have pets in offices.
I would find it awkward if not only my colleagues but also their pets would suddenly be in my home. I would need to wear pants and I don’t even know how everyone would fit in here. There’s not enough space.
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.
Not acceptable at all. But bringing a cat would be just fine.
What a nightmare
