In what world would looking at anyone’s private journal be okay? I can’t think of anything more invasive and cruel to do to a teenager than reading their diary. You really shouldn’t be reading anyone’s diary unless you’re trying to figure out the cause of their demise, ala Laura Palmer, or you’re reading diaries that …

Employee curates desktop plant collection, gets annoyed when coworker continually ‘takes care’ of them: ‘My pothos got repotted [and] my succulent got moved’
It is amazing what we can get attached to when we spend enough time in the workplace. Maybe there is a specific kind of stationery that gets ordered for the office that you are fond of, or a dumb decoration you keep on your desk that is one of the few things you look forward …

Company forces hardworking remote employee to return to the office; employee does half as much work in the office as he did when working from home: ‘I probably put 10-12 hours of work in per day, because I could squeeze it in anywhere.’
He was the poster child for successful work-from-home employees, and they took it away from him. Spring 2021 was probably one of the most productive times in my entire life. I was a junior in college and had 18 credit hours, which is a lot more than I had in basically any other semester. I …

23-year-old employee requests 37-year-old boss stops standing over her desk, has to comfort him when he starts crying: ‘God forbid a girl tries to set a boundary’
A good boss should be setting boundaries, not trying to break them. When somebody assumes a managerial role in the workplace, that comes with a lot of responsibility.

Manager places 4ft Christmas tree on employees desk, protests when she calls HR to get it moved: ‘The lights are constantly blinking in my eyes’

Employee whispers all day long at his desk, having full-blown conversations with himself about things unrelated to work: ‘He was arguing with himself over his personal life or people he knew.’
This is almost as bad as having a whistler in the office. There’s nothing worse than having a coworker who is annoying in a way that you can’t quite call out without breaching professionalism. If you’re a higher-up, you have more leeway to tell your employees that they shouldn’t sing under their breath in the …

Entitled expectant mother demands coworker give up her desk so she can have it despite coworker reserving it: ‘You’re young, find another’
You probably have somewhat of a special attachment to your desk. If you have an assigned one, you’ve probably made peace with it. You notice that it’s the closest one to the bathroom, so that’s nice. You like how your seat is always at the right height and there’s an outlet nearby. You have your …

A nice, peaceful working area is essential for productivity. People feel so much more inspired when they’re in space that makes me feel calm and safe. In many ways, we are like fish in a fish tank.

‘Clearly I’m employee of the year’: Gen Z corporate worker hilariously details how she makes herself at home in the office
By this point, I think it’s fair to say that we have all internalized the idea that each generation is very different in the workplace. A common argument for one of these differences is that in comparison to their older co-workers, young people do not want to work anymore. However, there is a subset of …
