My colleague has some trouble respecting boundaries and lies about one of our company's co-owners

Idiot coworker lies about boss's fake directive to make guy help them while on leave, guy gets the boss involved

There's nothing more infuriating than being relentlessly contacted by an annoying coworker while you're on leave. I mean, they're not even your boss, and for some reason, they feel entitled to having you do your work for them. This goes to another level when this coworker lies and makes up a story about how they're contacting you because the boss asked them to. This is a hard reach and easily verified by asking the boss themself. This is exactly what Redditor u/ver03255 did when a new coworker…

The Karen of my building told me her keycard isn't working. Demanded I fixed her keycard. So I did...

'I changed all of her permissions': Raging Karen complains to facilities manager that her keycard isn't working, he revokes her access

Imagine complaining about your keycard as a pitiful means to get attention… When the facilities manager, u/ImThe1Wh0 , had to deal with this raging Karen and her "Karen-in-Training" he was careful to comply with their every demand. "Karen-in-Training" had issues with her key card access after u/ImThe1Wh0 deleted her unassigned card while completing a key card audit. Raging Karen decided that she also wanted to complain and have problems with her (perfectly fine) card too. Because who wouldn't w…

'Don't get fired': Funniest Office Memes for Coworkers That Get a Little Too Lit at the Company Christmas Party

People love to drink with their coworkers because it combines two parts of their lives that are always in conflict: professionalism and acting completely unprofessional. It is a truly deadly combination when fellow employees are fueled by alcohol. It's an even more huge debacle waiting to happen when that booze is provided by their employer and nobody has to pay for anything. Ergo the annual office Christmas party . As the most devastatingly inappropriate spectacle of the year, every business's…

TIFU by accidentally calling my boss "mom" during a meeting

Guy accidentally calls his boss "mom"

In a hilariously embarrassing mistake, that they're going to be thinking about for the rest of their lives as they lie in bed trying to sleep, this worker accidentally made the brutal error of calling their boss “mom.” I think it's pretty safe to assume we've all been in a situation like this at some point in our lives; who hasn't called a teacher “mom” or “dad” in grade school? But the situation plays out a little bit differently when you're an adult working in an adult workplace, the adult co…
