Oh, i'd mention, Dylan "won" the activity with his Mint Chocolate chip socks with mini red stars. He was given a toblerone.... I'm serious guys.

Were they edible socks? if they were he should be disciplined. Mint chocolate is the work of the Devil and akin to brushing your teeth with a Hershey bar. Not to be confused with Heshe bars. Heshe bars are the first trans friendly bars, long before the Blue Oyster Bar or the Blue and Pink PussyTom Cat Club....apparently

Ha! No they didn't look edibel lol, he does look a little like the joker in a pack of playing cards, goatee and all. Heshe I'll have to check into that, ? Never heard it but oh snap are you saying He/She haha got it, Beans!

This could financial hardship or workplace envy. Not everyone can afford fancy unique socks. If your coworkers come from wealthy families they can have specialty socks made. This handicaps those of lower financial situations. Envy may come about leading to work place violence or at the very least a general hostile environment. The winner could go full out beanz acting like he is above all others. Beaner knows all about socks and everyone else just throws out sock bullshit. Worse, if your workplace is full of white people there is a very real chance a mass shooting could take place. All in all this is a bad idea. People should not be judged by possessions. Everyone should get a chocolate bar for participating or just showing up.

You guys are funny but this was a serious thread. Dylan won with light green almost fluorescent socks with these tiny red stars on them. The office manager gave him one of those big size toblerone bars. I got Heshe bars refrence but others not, so not sure on seriousness of responses. I agree with Frodo it's not financially Fair and could lead to animosity rather than office unity or positivity or whatever they're aiming for

Never heard such a ridiculous thing in my life. Sounds like a Kindergarten with the workers as kids. Wear no socks in protest.

I am unsure of going against the tide of ht egroup "togetherness" as they think accountants are too isolated from each other during the day, true that, we are software nutjobs applying cost of goods sold, amortizaton, A?R with and without recourse to complex situations, usually isolated in our cubicles and such. But socks for 5 minutes will do nothing but irritate the staff, cost accounting is major concentration, you can't interact much, and they know it.
