Oh great, your least favorite coworker is in the office today. I bet just by reading that sentence, a person popped into your head. Maybe it's the dude who insists on taking personal phone calls all day long, repeating himself over and over. Or maybe your least favorite coworker is the woman who takes off her socks and shoes to rub her sore feet, leaving everyone else in the office mortified. Maybe you even have one of those dreaded coworkers who does literally nothing all day long, yet still c…

The best way to comply with your boss's silliest orders is to do things exactly as they insist. It almost allows you, as their employee, to allow them to see the errors of their ways, without actually getting any flack for it. Next, check out these home renovations that went… less than excellently, like one person who admitted, “ I redid my kitchen countertops with brown paper bags .”

Some companies don't know what they got 'til it's gone.

It's rare, but it does happen: sometimes an entire workplace quits at once. When this does happen, it's often a glorious exodus, leaving workers happy with their fresh jobs and higher salaries, while managers scramble to find new hires. It's true what they say: people will run from bad bosses as fast as they can. Having a low salary is irritating, but if you love your job, it isn't always so bad. And if you love the people you work with, those 8-hour days may fly by, making your workweek a bree…

Who among us wouldn't quit their job for double the salary ? It'd be a hard question to say no to, that's for sure. No matter how much you love your job, you could vastly improve your life with double the amount of money. Usually, when you find a job that could double your salary , you have to inform your company that they either need to match that amount, or you'll be leaving. It's not personal, it's just finances. But still, some bosses think that your loyalty to their company should be stron…

Sometimes you really don't want to see how the sausage is made. You just want that final product , and you want to enjoy it without knowing all of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that it takes to create said product. This is certainly the case at many restaurants , just as one example. You just want to sit down in the seating area and have a nice meal. You don't want to think about how long it's been since they cleaned the grease trap, or how there are probably at least 10 cockroaches or mice…

If your boss is making you grind your teeth, you're in good company. The people of the internet joined together to share the reasons why their boss has been getting on their last nerves , and there are some crazy stories out there! Some people have bosses who just don't appreciate a single thing they do . The boss is so focused on meeting their goals or delivering a project to a client that they don't acknowledge all the hard work it takes to make that happen. It can be so frustrating to work a…

"Normally, I’d do it my usual way—efficiently and with a bit of common sense."

This dude is in a really awkward situation with a coworker, and he's wracking his brain to figure out what he did wrong. In some work environments , a single person can ruin the whole vibe. It's true what they say: one bad apple can spoil the bunch. You can go from having a peaceful work environment one day to an awkward job atmosphere the next. It all depends on the attitude and the amount of grace that your coworkers are willing to offer. Because, as u/Saikasss can tell you, not everyone can…

Well, that's one way to send a message!

This worker got way too candid with their boss, and was cringing hard as they waited for a reply. There's a culture of gallows humor at some workplaces, as this person can tell you all about. Amid layoffs and a struggling department lacking leadership, morale was very low here. When basically every employee is unhappy each day and actively searching for new work, it can feel like misery is in the air at all times. This person had a funny quip in reply to their boss's email… and they accidentall…

This group of employees wasn't sure how to handle the workplace weirdo … because he doesn't technically work with them. This person wrote in for advice using a throwaway account called u/throwRA-nonSeq. They shared that they work in an office complex with a bunch of different businesses, and there's one dude who's being an utter creep. He's being just annoying enough to really weird out the other employees, especially the women, who he seems to target in particular. But, as is often the case wi…

The office food thief can count their days, because this person has discovered a genius way to get back at the dude stealing their lunch. This person's coworker Mike has sticky fingers. He's constantly pilfering food from the office refrigerator , but the human resources team has thrown up their hands and said there's nothing they can do to stop him. Eating someone else's food seems really embarrassing to me: it implies that not only can you not remember to bring lunch , or can't afford to eat,…

This supervisor is proof that you can't always trust management to make the right decisions! After making a big mess in his own factory floor, this boss made quite the fool of himself. Up next, read about these sandwiches customers ordered that were so absurd, one employee had to say, “ I forgive you .”

These HR pros wondered how employees thought they'd get away with their schemes. In this day and age, digital receipts and/or cameras will catch any workplace foolishness! Still, there are a lot of workers out there who just don't seem to care. One of the best stories here is about one creative employee who found a way to avoid working all day every day. Apparently he kept clocking in, disappearing all day, and then leaving at the end of the day. No one could figure out where he was, although h…
