    ...that was a retelling of a nightmare?

    With a hint of the dross we now accept as reality TV and the way it chews up and spits out the very people the crowds and viewers delight in morbidly viewing in the first place?

    I don't particularly watch TV, but I have occasionally caught an episode of Jeremy Kyle and managed to feel both a sense of horror at the spectacle with a slightly shameful smugness of "Oh well at least my life will never descend to being on that show..."

    I'm glad it's off the air but inievitibly it will soon be replaced with something equally horrific.

          My problem with the Jeremy Kyle show is that I tend to have it as background noise. When they start swearing, they mute it, and hearing the sudden silence think that there is something wrong with the TV.....

            Re: I assume...

            I have never succumbed. A couple of years after coming back to Blighty from the Land of the Long White Cloud I was working during the day so daytime TV did not impinge upon my consciousness. Then my hands started to go wrong and I got signed off for two weeks sitting in a chair, not using my hands. So no computer, a paperback on the arm of the chair (because I couldn't hold it) or radio/tv.

            I developed a horror of daytime TV and never have it on during the day apart from sporting events. Then it goes off again. This was the mid '90s so before Kyle's time. Before satellite/cable tv as well: Reruns of Murder She Wrote and the shopping channel.

            I now have one less joint in each hand than you do, a notch in each hip (illiac crest) and reasonably usable hands again. At least I'm not on really strong NSAIDS 24/7 any more.

            Mine's the workstation with the bluetooth trackpad instead of a mouse, for my hands. Computer mice are very bad for them.

            Wrong. Some of us have fully functional shit filters and words like "Jeremy" followed by Kyle or Vine tend to trigger them. Far from being impossible to miss, for us it's almost inevitably a blind spot, forcing us instead to focus on less trivial matters such as how many wallpaper seams there are on the south wall and the quality thereof.

          I suspect that it was this week's events, including an unfortunate death by suicide, which actually inspired the column at this time, which does make it in rather poor taste.

          As a critique of horrible exploitative tv shows, at another time, it would have been an excellent and amusing column, but, I'm sorry, it is somewhat inappropriate and potentially hurtful at the current time.

              Re: Poor taste

              Possibly the first real example of the genre - and I haven't forgotten Aristophanes, whose comedies were censored by taking place at a religious festival - is Gargantua et Pantagruel by Francois Rabelais, fl. mid 1500s.

              It's a big book and much of it won't mean much to people who haven't studied the period, but it contains vast numbers of very bad taste jokes. And Rabelais was a Franciscan friar and a medical doctor. He apparently thought his patients would benefit from a good laugh.

              1. Michael Wojcik Silver badge

                Re: Poor taste

                Rabelais was certainly an important Renaissance example, though there are loads of less-famous ones.

                Bakhtin's Rabelais and His World is the classic study of this genre of comedy, the grotesque as a mimesis of the carnivalesque social mode. Since its publication in the mid '60s there have been many exegeses ad critiques, of course - Stallybrass & White's The Politics and Poetics of Transgression is a particularly noteworthy critique of Bakhtin's optimistic view of the radical-political force of mocking an established social order - but it remains an important treatment, and probably the single best critical accompaniment to Gargantua et Pantagruel.

                Aristophanes is also a good reference. Other well-known pre-Early-Modern European artists of the grotesque / carnivalesque include Chaucer (e.g. the Miller's Tale) and Apuleius (the Golden Ass). I note the Wikipedia article throws in authors such as Homer and Ovid, but I think that's too broad; the Odyssey and Metamorphoses have monstrous characters but don't mock social conventions or display many other grotesque tropes.

    Hot desking

    Hot desking is high on my list of Very Bad Ideas. It's inflicted by people whose working lives involve lots of meetings and visits to branch offices upon people who spend the entire day in the same seat staring at the same screen.

    I've worked in a couple of investment banks so crowded that you'd run the risk of spending the day sitting on the floor if you arrived late. Or you might find a vacant desk in the far reaches of the room, only to incur the implacable hatred of the neighbouring workers for being a foreigner who's stolen the desk of the person they're used to sitting next to.

    Working from home is supposed to facilitate hot desking. What actually happens is that you're sold a job on the basis of "WFH one or two days a week", but after a while the management reverts to its bums on seats addiction, and you can only WFH with prior permission, which will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. So they cram in more desks, to the point where you can only lean back in your seat by agreement with the drone who's sitting behind you.

    1. Robert D Bank

      Re: Hot desking

      agreed. That combined with open plan where you always have some noisy tw4t at the other end of the orifice talking loudly to their mobile or anyone they hope will listen. WFH is a pleasure by comparison, and much more productive, for me anyway. And losing the commute through London is a major plus.

    2. macjules

      Re: Hot desking

      So agree. There is one worst though: "Agile working". While hotdesking is simply about you finding a spare desk in an office where only 89% of employees are ever expected to turn up, agile working is about providing for that 89% of space in the sure knowledge that you require a higher percentage of employees to turn up. It is described as:

      Essentially, it’s about working from wherever you choose – be it a workstation, breakout space, quiet area or even a ‘third space’ workplace (such as a café or at home).

      It is a disruptor in that it ensures that teams should not sit close to each other, which could engender cliques in the desking system. In its latest format Agile working is now linked to a smartphone app, which you need in order to find the nearest available desk, enable your staff telephone number to switch to that desk and ensure that you are "discoverable".

      At a nursery level it is known as 'musical chairs' and, not surprisingly, companies that employ Agile working tend to have a very high turnover of staff.

      However, being a contractor, hot-desking for us is the norm IME. On current project, about 20 engineers across various different systems with about 16 desks normally available. Also a seperate hot-desk area for people visiting from other offices, so that their delicate sensibilities aren't offended by outbreaks of technological tourettes.

        I first encountered it because someone at my employer at the time (I guess the person with elfin safety somewhere in his job description) was mildly unhappy that its office space was violating the law, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

          Equally ( or more) vague recollection was that the space was a calculation rather than a measurement. So any floor area -useable or not- can be included and divided by the number of users. This included space under radiators, doorways and so on.

      All was going smoothly (although disliked by mostly everyone) until some guy usually working at a client's premises had to spend a few days at the office. He got there and chose a nice place near a window. And did so the next day.

      The place he chose was used everyday by one of the directors (who where also supposed to hot desk, at least in principle)-

      At the end of that week the company announced a change of policies and reserved a small area for people coming in one day or another while everybody else got fixed places.

    Who actually wrote that?!?

    I got half way through and had to check that it wasn't written by Verity Stob!

      Re: Who actually wrote that?!?

      I've noticed similarities between Alistair's and Verity's writing styles before today. Have they ever been seen in the same room at the same time?

    Hot-Desking is my favourite policy, ever!

    Contrary to just about all the other commentards, here, I think that Hot-Desking is, in fact, the very best and most amazing policy, ever, simply because it is trivially easy to detect prior to joining a company and, upon detection, it is consequently trivially easy to turn down that position and walk away -- maniacal cackling optional.

    Other, more subtle forms of "resource abuse" are harder to perceive during a simple fly-by of the team's working quarters.

    Hot desking joy

    My soon to be ex employer implemented this particular form of contempt for the minions a year ago. It certainly is a pile of shit and feels very demeaning. Especially as they claim that there will be sufficient desks without asking us to work from home on a regular rota. AC as I haven't left yet.

    Thank-you, a new portmanteau for describing my workplace.

    It also occurs to me..

    There may well be offices where staff arriving and leaving have access to sufficient storage for all the stuff they use and adequate desk space for while they're using it, and a method for transferring stuff to and fro.e.g Piles of current paper files and handwritten case notes that are all required in various sequences for short amounts of time. But I've visited a few and have never, yet, seen one.

    I guess that paperless office I've been hearing about for decades could make it workable. if ever..

    no 20 cm alligator clip on your AC cable?

    with enough spring power to mimic a 20 foot real alligator. Ah, you haven't lived and were barely connected.

    "Oh, try again. State your name." Reply with 'Menachem Begin', relax muscles, go all tranquil, heart rate slows, meditate.

    "State your age." Reply with actual age, lock up all internal muscles, blood pressure spikes, heart races, skin turn beat red.

    "State your age." Reply with '517', go all yoga, peaceful, tranquil...

    The worst part

    is that so many people that watched and appeared on Jeremy Kyle believed in the bullshit that are polograph tests. Despite them not being admissible as evidence in court. But then we can also blame Jeremy Kyle and the producers for exploiting that fact.

      Re: The worst part

      We all seem to have a deep wish inside us for a way to make sure that "the truth will out". For Justice. (Unless we actually are the bad guys and also acknowledge it - there probably aren't too many of these, self-deception works for the rest).

      Once it was God's all-seeing eyes.

      Now it's Kyle's lie detector test.

    Jeremy Kyle show?

    Didn't even know there was such a thing as the Jeremy Kyle show (or a Jeremy Kyle) until this week's events all over the news. Doesn't sound like I've missed anything.
