We’ve all had that one older coworker who doesn’t know what is appropriate and inappropriate to talk about at work. They will say their inner thoughts, no matter how offensive and hostile, and other coworkers will let them get away with it because «They’re old» and «They don’t know any better.» In a perfect world, …

Lazy coworker brags about having free time at work on social media, hardworking coworker tattles to management: ‘We never have a slow MOMENT at work, let alone a slow day’
We’ve all had one of those coworkers who doesn’t do what they’re supposed to do. If you’re on the same level as someone, it’s easy to notice that one or two people are carrying the bulk of the work, while another employee is twiddling their thumbs and getting the same pay/credit for doing much less. …

Worker leaves his phone on the back of a work truck, blames coworker for driving away and breaking it and wants him to pay half: ‘He left his phone in a stupid place’
It’s always awkward when you break something. Who hasn’t been at a party where a glass was broken? If you haven’t, then you haven’t been to a party. And I’ve been that person who has shattered glass when I certainly did not mean to (who means to?) You do your best to immediately apologize and …

Factory employee rejects coworkers’ invitation to hang out after work 10+ times, gets angry when they stop inviting her to hang out: ‘You guys never invite me to anything. I’m always the one left out.’
We all have different levels of closeness with our friends. I have some friends that I see multiple times a week, others I see at least once a month, and a handful that I never really hang out with one-on-one. It’s perfectly normal to realize after a couple of times hanging out with somebody that …

Entitled coworker tattles on her coworker to HR for not inviting her to his wedding: ‘She filed a complaint saying I was being «exclusive» and «creating a hostile environment by leaving people out.»‘
You cannot assume that your coworkers are your friends. If you are a lonely person who doesn’t have that many friends, it can be tempting to constantly ask your coworkers to hang out with you outside of work. After all, you spend so much time together anyway. That must mean that you’re building a bond …

Manager scolds employee for saying ‘sure’ instead of ‘yes’ when he asked him to do a task: ‘I told him to do something, it’s a command from his manager, not a request.’
Every boss expects a different level of formality from their employees. I know a lot of Southern people who feel disrespected if they’re not addressed as «yes sir» or «yes ma’am.» On the other side, I know Northerners who get incredibly offended if people call them «ma’am» because it makes them feel old. In general, …

23-year-old forces her coworker to constantly cover her shifts because she has a boyfriend and he’s single: ‘I figured you’d be fine with it since you don’t have a girlfriend or kids to worry about.’
There’s nothing worse than a coworker who walks all over you and a manager who lets it happen. I don’t miss the time in my life when people would beg me to cover their shift and act like I was a bad person for not being able to do so. It’s challenging to plan your …

23-year-old refuses to participate in her company’s Christmas in July party because she doesn’t want to buy a gift for her 19-year-old coworker who she hates: ‘I just can’t justify spending money on her’
Secret Santas are fun if you’re doing them for people you want to hang out with, but they’re a pain if you have to do them for someone you have a transactional relationship with. I enjoyed participating in Secret Santa with my college friend group because we didn’t have enough money to get great gifts …

Woman spies on ill coworker at home to verify he’s unwell, mistakes him for his neighbor and tries to rat on him: ‘He immediately calls HR and lets them know’
Spying is not usually a good idea. We all do it sometimes, admit it. We look at the Instagrams of people who used to be in our lives so we know what they’re up to. Maybe we even type their names into Google to get more detailed information on their potential whereabouts. We’ve all craned …

Employee asks manager to repeat himself during virtual meeting, manager screams «NO!» at him: ‘Now I’m completely checked out’
This might be a hot take, but nobody does a better job because a superior is constantly screaming at them. If you’re continually being criticized, no matter how well or poorly you perform a task, you’ll likely feel like trying hard is a fruitless endeavor. There’s a difference between talking loudly, as people from different …
