Do you get visitors at your job?

lilswimmer · April 2012

I have had at least 5 people come in just to say hi to people who work here. Maybe it's because we are just a newspaper and most of us can get up and walk around, but I could not imagine just showing up to my friend's work to say hi.

But then again they all work at either a hospital, jail, or accounting firm.

I don't get visitors here. But I work at a youth shelter and it is a confidential location. I also work 30 miles from home.

I have, however, visited friends and family at work. I guess it just depends on hat type of business it is and the company's attitude towards visitors.

I work in an office with security so unless you work in the building you aren't coming to visit me. When I use to work retail, I worked in a shoe department and I would have friends come and just sit on the couches and talk for hours.

Yes, I personally get visitors and everyone who works here has visitors from time to time.

My daughter also comes to work with my in the mornings for about 30 minutes and then Guy picks her up from here and takes her home. Several others bring their children when they need to as well.

This office is more laid back than our home office, but even when I worked at the home office it was the same way.

If you knew where you were going and walked with a purpose you could get to my office to visit. Otherwise you'd have to call me to get buzzed in because our offices are all locked.

Now, anyone who wants to can come visit but when I worked at the office I could have visitors, but it was pretty rare. I think my sister swung by once on her way through town but that was it. I worked with my best friend, my boyfriend worked for the company and my family lives an hour away..no one was really likely to drop by.

Only unexpectedly like of they're patients or DHs coworkers (paramedics) bringing us patients. I don't really know anyone who would really want to visit me at work lol

Negative. It's a place of business, not a social hall.

Smae here. And, when they do come, I have to go out to the common area to visit (ex: cafe). My actual office has all sorts of HIPAA protected info so the only people allowed to cross the threashold are those who have been granted certification.
