One worker's life hack for free babysitting is driving his coworker up the wall. Sometimes your personal life can really get in the way of your work life.

At times, you might feel guilty for the burden this puts on your coworkers, and hopefully you work with your manager or HR to resolve the…

We all have that one coworker who seems like they can do no wrong in the boss's eyes . Maybe they're constantly napping, but the supervisor just cheerfully walks by without noticing. Or maybe they constantly leave work early without an excuse, but the boss couldn't care less. Or, if you're like some of the people who answered u/Virtual-Bunch-9131's query to r/AskReddit , maybe your coworker went to further extremes and still didn't get the boot! It can be totally infuriating to work diligently…

"They ended with 11 new complaints over the course of a week (not even counting the ones from years past from past employees who also left because of him)."

When asked to choose between a single work-sponsored lunch or a permanent raise , why would you ever choose the lunch? It's a long-running joke that companies love to provide pizza Fridays instead of doling out much-needed raises (which could, in turn, let employees buy their own pizza, or you know, more important things in life than that). The company only has to shell out a few hundred dollars for a pizza party, and it does raise employee's spirits for a few hours while their stomachs are ful…

No one wants to get booted from their job unexpectedly, but these people had some pretty embarrassing reasons for losing their jobs !

A lot of these people are just like that, displaying the most unhinged behaviors at work, and then expecting their bosses and coworkers to side with them. I know those HR PowerPoint sessions about…

Some revenge stories are smellier than others.

Looks like a fun lawsuit

This person's boss had some feedback for them, but it was so vague that the employee was left baffled. Most employees have quarterly or yearly check-ins with their supervisors. It's a good way to manage expectations and address any concerning employee behavior before it becomes a major problem. This person worked on a team of scientists who seem to have some communication issues all around. This employee's boss tried to warn them that they were coming off as “contemptuous” when they spoke to th…

Remember going to a video rental store to pick out a bunch of movies? Long before streaming services and YouTube, if you wanted a movie night, you'd head to a movie theater or a video rental store. You could rent a bunch of movies and pay for them by the day. You'd gather all your friends, watch that new movie together with a bowl of popcorn, and then return it ASAP to avoid paying too much for the privilege of renting a video. Eventually, a lot of these stores began renting video games, DVDs,…

You don't always get the chance to go absolutely crazy at your job, and this person decided to embrace it. They were told to print a frankly absurd amount of papers out, and they did it with gusto.
