"How Should I Phrase This Question?"
Sun Jul-11-21 06:51 AM by SuiteLady

  

          

I have posted here several times about how my current employer is a pet friendly environment and how much I don't like it (8 people currently bring 9 dogs in with them at my current place).

Now I have two offers for new positions at other companies expected in the next couple weeks. How do I ask if it is a pet-friendly environment without a) offending the person I am asking (some people don't like people who don't like pets, whether they bring them to work or not) or b)them thinking I am asking because I want to bring my pet to work with me?

I tried Googling this but I just found articles about how to make your office pet friendly, and articles about the pros & cons of a pet friendly environment. One con listed was that you can lose some good candidates. I can attest to that!
