I'm still firmly in the camp of puting a non-matching microwave in there at 5:00am anyway just to watch her try to remove it and have everyone hate her.

I think you should go on kijiji and find $10 microwaves and bring them everyday and let them get confiscated. Get there real early. By the third day it will be a war between the staff and HR.

Hmmm...could make an interesting pilot for a reality TV show.

Put a sign by it. "Please don't remove me because I look different. Don't let Trump win."

Traditional Chinese folklore says that eating cold food and drinking cold water leads to illness and death. The stakes are raised. Will she starve? Will she get sick and die? Can she outwit the evil head of HR/Facilities and their megalomaniac plot to color coordinate with the interior decorator of doom? Find out next time!

great analysis of the thread so far guys, saves a lot of people from going back to page one.

Girly, if you find a microwave and you are not close to power, I have an extension cord "donated" by another board member that you can use to power it up

Just remember, every microwave that HR confiscates is a microwave that they must dispose of. I'd bring in broken microwaves just for the sport of it.

Maybe some sort of microwave Uber or Airbnb needs to be established.

If there is a alcove for storing said microwave I will gladly give away my spare Samsung 800 watt microwave only if there is a picture of a curtain with a sign above saying "do not pay attention to the appliance behind the curtain." with proof there is a microwave behind the curtain of course

Probably the old pre-microwave standby of the thermos previously shown is best temp option.

Unless thermos violates the HR / workplace resources rulez too

Unreal....

You can show up to work and tell them you're a construction worker

There are definitely microwaves available in Bow Valley College (by City Hall LRT) -- second floor cafeteria area. Don't know how bad you want your food heated but there you go.

Matching microwaves lol. I want to be there the day that a client walks in notices that the microwave doesn't match and procedes to turn around and leave stating in disgust "this gong show of an outfit doesn't even have a matching micro wave" lol.

Furthermore how hard is it to match a microwave these days? They come in black, white and stainless.

Your HR manager is obviously a real pita. They also aparently have too much time on their hands.

When it shows up, crazy glue it down so they can't easily take it away.

There you go, play the ethnicity card on HR! "You're violating my belief system, get me a microwave or I'm calling Leah Williams "Eyebrows" Dougherty...and I want my damn chair back."

We have DRAMA!

A microwave was brought this morning and people started heating up muffins, coffee etc...
But there's a SNITCH! So the HR boss knows and asked the building to remove it. Now the microwave is sitting in HR. Nobody is claiming the microwave (would you?). Will there another snitch!?

Luckily I'm eating out this afternoon.
