Office

Karen power tripped a little too hard and made a big, unpopular authority flex. It just so happens there were a lot of employees around to maliciously comply with that authority she brandished so haphazardly. Misuse of authority can backfire, like this VP who got canned for pulling rank.

On the one hand some of this is completely understandable if you go through a serious operation, but that doesn't excuse the nasty, entitled tone at all. It's the wildest thing that people expect other people to go out of their way to be nice to them, when they can't even be bothered to act vaguely decent in the first place. 

Every workplace has a little drama now and then, especially in the startup world. You may also be familiar with those "super fun" theme rooms that usually have video games or ball pits that have become the mark of well-funded upcoming tech giants (looking at you, Google). As design writer and educator Chappell Ellison demonstrates, it turns out drama and ball pits don't go well together. Unless you're trying to be funny, then it's a perfect match!

Getting used to a new work dynamic can be stressful, and this new employee decided that they wouldn't be bullied into participating in free donut day. Instead of just blowing the thing off, they thought to make their point more clear in the form of middle finger donuts. For some more office shenanigans, here's an employee who annoyed their coworker with plants.

If you thought your boss was bad, think again.

This lady has filed a harassment complaint against her superior for imposing a dress code that's stricter than a Amish private school.

"No straps, hats, sandals, cleavage, back out, lace, and even (and I quote) "cultural head wraps."

Now she has come to work each day in an outfit that fits the guidelines of Big Boss Lady's dress code, but in the MOST ORIGINAL way possible.

Might be time for yet another dress code...
