Letter From An Office Outlaw
March 8, 2025​

Before I begin, Happy Women's Day!

So, we've had quite a lot of solid shares written up on Office Outlaw this first quarter. Not only that, there were some pretty interesting posts from members of the community.

A special thank you to @Impulse for helping me write this and adding the memes.

Most Wanted Threads of The Quarter

The US and Israel just struck Iran ​ Author: @1974Mustang Section: The Saloon I debated whether to include this one in the newsletter, but it’s a major topic that people naturally want to discuss. 1974Mustang shared news about recent strikes involving the US, Israel, and Iran, and members jumped in to talk about what it could mean geopolitically. No meme for this entry for obvious reasons.

Sharpest Shots of the Quarter
It was difficult to pick a single post to discuss, so this quarter's sharpest shots are mainly focused on notable discussions or even series of discussions that didn't quite make the most wanted threads list above.​

1. "I guess you could say there's a boss in all of us..." @FrankImawn shared multiple updates with the community about the situation with the old CEO he used to work for. After many in the community deduced that his old CEO may have some rather... unprofessional feelings toward him, he realised that he unfortunately may have even more board of directors gunning for his groin soon.	2. "Ok so I bought this natural ADD / concentration supplement from iHerb This entire thread had some pretty good responses in terms of using supplements for concentration. Many different members came together and shared their own experiences across 3 pages.
3. Weekend Quiz: Volumes 1-5 @sir top has been posted these quizzes every weekend. They usually have a mixture of questions regarding the forum, sports, and pop culture.	4. "Now i am enjoying myself as i want to do." There was a thread about respecting your elders, or rather not respecting them just because your elders. In this thread, @payal23j shares her experiences on this matter.

Trick Shots From Office Outlaw​

We receive suggestions and feedback regularly from the community on how to improve the forum further.

One thing we've noticed is that there are many members who, but don't say much on why they upvoted or downvoted a suggestion.

What we want to say on this is to not be afraid of voicing your opinion, especially in the case of downvotes. It helps both the members and the one making the suggestion to hear different opinions. It also helps us make a final decision as well.
