I always refer to my teenager as my “in-house tech department.”

I’m amused, but also it’s not a bathroom I will ever have to use…

It’s funny, and also the most Australian thing I’ve seen in a while.

Wait, there are enough random snakes around that they have an actual sign for it? Has this ever happened to you before? Do enough other places have this issue too that it’s a standard office supply catalog sign or did it have to be custom made for your company? Also what kind of snakes?

Thank you for asking these questions as I was also wondering the same things!

These are standard signs at my workplace, every department has designated snake handlers so we can remove them. I have heard this was a brown snake but im not 100% sure

Off the charts level of Australian, right there. I mean. An excellent idea I’m sure. But just very, very in line with my expectations of Australia.

I’m so curious what the qualifications are for that job. I mean, other than a CV that says, “great with snakes”.

I wonder if it’s like safety officer at most companies… whoever can get suckered into it/wants to look more involved in the hopes of promotion.

Wait a second, when I volunteered (got volunteered) for an extra position at work, they only gave me first aid/CPR training…I want to be the snake handler!
(I mean, there are poisonous snakes where I mountain bike, but the only time any kind of snake got into our office it was a grass snake and was less annoying than the geese that occasionally storm the lobby, but still)

Ah, ok, one more question: Do you get to keep the snake?
