An employee recently shared how their entitled coworker slid into their DMs asking to borrow clothes for her sister's wedding so that she could save some money. The employee was new at the company and had barely known this coworker for barely a month, but thinking she was doing a good deed, she agreed to let her borrow one outfit. Now she's using this story to warn others to not befriend their coworkers on social media.

In a company with unlimited PTO, you'd think taking a day off would be a no-brainer. But for one woman working in engineering, every time she takes a well-deserved break, there's this one coworker who's always quick to make a comment about it in front of everyone. Her coworker seems to think that unlimited PTO is a personal challenge to his work ethic, and he’s not shy about making it known. Especially on company-wide meetings.

Management doesn't always make the best decisions for their team. Next up, read about some outrageous HOA rules that'll make you roll your eyes, like one that decided “They want a $10 fee for overnight guests.”

"I spilled coffee onto my clothes. Never make that mistake again. I brought brownies in. Never do that again, people could have allergies."

Being a Chatty Cathy is a blessing and a curse in the workplace. On the one hand, people do tend to enjoy the humorous personality in the office as well as the person who's simply easier to talk to than most. That being said, if you're the type of person who cannot read social cues or understand when a conversation should end, your coworkers are going to avoid having to chat with you at all costs. We feel for this Chatty Cath y because it does not seem like things were entirely her fault. Other…

Usually, newly hired employees are given a break during their first week. The first few days are typically about getting settled in, meeting your coworkers, and adjusting to the company culture. However, here, we have a new hire who was almost immediately tasked with buying donuts for everyone at the company. Apparently, there were two annoying coworkers at the office who chose different people each week to pick on and bother incessantly until they gave in and got everyone donuts. You would thi…

No one likes a lunch thief, especially if it's the boss's nepo baby son. This employee worked in a small office of about ten people, so when it became clear that there was a lunch thief among the team, it was pretty easy to figure out who the culprit was. However, to ensure that there was proof, the Redditor had a plan. He brought blue food dye to work and left a few drops in a coworker's half-eaten yogurt. This coworker had complained that the mysterious lunch thief had eaten almost all of her…

Whatever happened to keeping your eyes on your own paper, Karen? This entitled coworker thought it would be a good idea to confront another employee on her team and give them a hard time about the frequency of their breaks and the lack of extra responsibilities they take on at work. It turns out that the Redditor was going to the bathroom frequently because of a medical condition that HR was already fully aware of. As for the extra responsibilities, this was an intended line that the Original P…

"After that every morning when Bessie comes in she throws her tantrum screaming about how lazy young people are, no one wants to work, all the usual boomer greatest hits."

Every naive employee has to learn how to create boundaries with one's coworkers. A professional work team is not a sorority no matter how much someone may try to create that dynamic. If you find yourself trying to be one of the cool kids at work, take a minute to step back and remember that this is not high school and you likely do not need your work relationships to overlap too much with your friendships outside of work. Of course, there are exceptions and there are plenty of work environments…

If your employer failed to correct a mistake in your contract, that's their problem, not yours. This hire began his new position and realized that there was growing resentment from some of his new colleagues. Why, you may ask? As it turns out, everyone else in the office had to begin work at 8:00 am sharp, while the new guy was regularly waltzing in at 9:00 am. That's not because the new hire was always running late, as some of his coworkers likely suspected. He actually thought he was followin…

Change is inevitable, no matter how we try to escape it or ignore it by burying our heads in the sand. The thing is, change is also pain, as whenever something new is to be learned, there is always going to be a process of failure and adaption and a loss of the comfortable and familiar, which is why people might try to avoid change in the first place. We can then conclude that, by associative properties “change is inevitable” and “change is pain” can just be simplified to “pain is inevitable”—b…

Why do boomers want the next generations to suffer just as much as they did?

Regardless of whether or not you have a car, driving with a carpool to work can be a very positive experience. First, you can save time by using the carpool lane, not to mention it is much better for the environment. Second, you can save a lot of money by not paying for gas alone. But perhaps the most positive thing you can get out of carpool is the company. It is greatly beneficial to have someone to talk to, gossip about topics you can't discuss in the office, and simply bond beyond the work…

Incompetency is a disease. Get well soon, Karen.
