”Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself."

Want some coffee? No problem.

"Be careful what you wish for. You may just get it."

Every employee needs to draw their boundaries with coworkers. Sometimes, you get along with folks well enough that you're more than fine hanging out outside the office. However, other employees prefer a strict separation between work and life, and regardless of how other people think or feel about it, that decision needs to be respected. Here , we have an employee who had to draw their own boundaries within the work day itself. After a year of spending lunch with coworkers in the break room, he…

Karma always finds those who deserve it.

"You don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake."

When you're planning the biggest event of your life, what is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime event, it's important to make sure you actually get to the planning part of it and not just leave essential parts to chance… this, coming from someone who is notoriously poor at planning beyond the end of the week. If you want to go on a trip that is going to require you to take time off work, you should probably make sure you request the time off work first so that you're not stuck with an already booked…

This consultant is adamant that she should be allowed to wear whatever she wants to work. Too bad her coworkers don't feel the same way! Up next, read about these people who had some rough days at work, like one person who revealed they " Just lost thousands of dollars worth of product at work . Most likely getting fired.”

Being a team player means supporting your coworkers when it's appropriate. It does not mean doing their job for them. Here, we have a fully remote Karen coworker who had the audacity to ask an employee, who had to work in-person every day, to print multiple PDFs and scan them as one document for her. Now, the purpose of this was to combine these PDF documents into one, a task the employee pointed out could be via Adobe. He even wrote out clear instructions for how to do this from home, but the…

There's nothing worse in the workplace than being stuck with a slothful coworker who refuses to do any of their own work and is constantly asking you to help with their workload, meanwhile you know that if you were to refuse to help you'd just be seen by the rest of the workplace as “unhelpful” or “not a team player.”

Up next, this IT employee didn't have to disrupt a retail store with their work, but a store manager refused to help until, “A cashier bursts into the room, panicked… lines are getting backed up.”

Work-life balance is obviously a struggle for many adulting employees, but most of them would not make the egregious error of agreeing to live with a coworker. This Redditor luckily didn’t even go so far as to move in with his coworker Jim, but the abstract conversations they were having about the idea felt like a done deal to him. So when the original poster (OP) ended up getting invited by his sister to move to a much nicer neighborhood, he kindly told Jim that unfortunately, the timing was n…

"‘Per our conversation on (that date), you advised me to find other employment so I did.’"

It doesn't matter where you personally stand in your workplace environment; you do not owe anyone your food. This employee had a toxic coworker, who for the sake of this story was renamed Lisa. Lisa tended to look over the Redditor's shoulder at what they prepared for lunch. One day, the employee brought leftovers from her anniversary dinner with her husband. Of course, it took very little time for Lisa to notice and ask for a bite. This time, the employee didn't have very much left and refused…

"What I'm getting from her [is] that I am being selfish and I should wait for everyone book theirs before mine."

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.
