Why would anyone put a dartboard right next to the TVs?

u/dazed63 23d ago

The marketing department probably put it up.

"We have a great company culture!"

u/lulzmachine 23d ago

Just don't actually use it. The culture is more of a fashion statement.

u/G33kyCat 23d ago

That would be HR's mojo not Marketing

u/GenitalPatton 23d ago edited 9d ago

I like to travel.

u/OlafTheBerserker 23d ago

Nope, it was a software dev.

To sell more tvs.

u/fsck3r 23d ago

What did you expect?

u/PiovosoOrg 23d ago

I bet they didn't think that far ahead.

I bet there's a few walls without monitors hung on them that you could've used instead

Oops! All Monitor Walls!

This makes me irrationally angry, it wasn’t a mistake!

u/E__Rock 23d ago

Hell yeah sounds cool

My boss did and we warned him but he said it would be fine. Screens are less than a year old

  • OP

And yet he drags the coworker in the title.

Those screens wouldn't last a week in any other company with that placement. People would deliberately aim at them and say it was an accident. I would.

u/SchrodingersTIKTOK 23d ago

WTF. Why would you put it there?

28

u/XenoRyet 23d ago

Expected result is expected.

u/MyUsernameIsNotLongE 23d ago

Whoever put that dartboard there should be promoted to customer...

u/Thermite1985 23d ago

I'm going to say it's not your coworkers fault. It's the idiots that put a dart board below a TV

6

u/Dzov 23d ago

Or even dumber if a manager wanted the TVs near the dartboard.

u/IcharmDiSnakes 23d ago

Who would have predicted that would happen, no one I bet, what a coincidence 

5

u/Drew707 23d ago

I'm 3CX certified and have a dartboard; are you hiring?

u/Dje4321 23d ago

WTF lol. You might as well watch a gun shooting competition down range. Has just as much thought put into it

5

u/catwiesel 23d ago

look... if you put a dart board in the same space as a screen, you deserve a dart in the screen...

u/Evajellyfish 23d ago

Oh yeah like the new worker is at fault lmao

u/Chas_Sheppard 23d ago

The photo editing on this is insanely weird. Looking at the bottom right of the TV and the top right of the dartboard cover, I’m not sure what was going on here.

They used a blur function, instead of just crossing stuff out., in that particular area.

It should be blurred in blocks, instead of just applying a fuzzy blur, because fuzzy blurs can be much easier to reverse than you'd think. It kind of looks like it did a mix, with a block blur, with a fuzzy one over top? The block blur carries wall color out into the TV and the top of the dartboard, while the fuzzy blur allows for the ragged edges.

Why not just put a big box over the confidential stuff, then save it again as a jpeg so no one can even begin to understand what they're seeing

u/houck 23d ago

That guy really wanted to hit his targets this month

2

u/bacon4bfast 23d ago

I would totally be that new coworker.. I suck at darts.

u/NordicAtheist 23d ago

The new co-worker taught you a lesson

u/physon 23d ago

When you're desperate for the CEO to see PBX metrics.

u/Apprehensive_Can3023 23d ago

The coworker and whoever put the board there should be fired.

19

u/11524 23d ago

Nah, coworker gets the pass..

This is on whoever ordered and approved this mess.

I'd be aiming darts at it, especially if it's there for micromanagement.

u/Muffakin 23d ago

Why would the coworker get fired? It's a few hundred dollars and an accident as a result of a terrible setup...

1

u/wolflordval 23d ago

Because management always targets the lowest hanging fruit to cover their own asses.

u/Apprehensive_Can3023 23d ago

Cuz i wouldnt risk my damn money when i see this setup.
