She was fired two weeks later. I'm picturing her slouched over in a business skirt suit holding a cardboard box with a lone plant in it.

I found out at my performance evaluation that three of my coworkers complained to my supervisor about the way I stack books. Apparently it's too hard to turn them around to put a hold slip on them. They could have just asked me not to, but no, gotta go bitch about it.

this guy at my work got laid off and they had security escort him to his car. instead of leaving, he drove into a corner of the parking deck where he thought he'd be out of sight of security so that he could try and do something on his phone (he later said he was trying to send an email to some coworkers but who knows he likes bitcoin and poo poo i wouldnt be surprised if he were trying to pull off something malicious) anyway security was watching him so they ended up detaining him and calling the police. lol he almost got arrested. anyway they had locked his accounts before escorting him off the premises and turned off his VPN access so he woudlnt have been able to do anything anyway.

I am a practice manager for a medical practice. One of my medical assistants got sucked into Amway about a year ago. She's in her early 20s and her fiance is doing a 2 year stint in the state pen for drug trafficking. She probably feels pretty desperate, and I try to help her (refer part time job openings elsewhere, etc.) but no, she is positive that per the garbage bullshit Amway hucksters dump into people's minds, that she's gonna be retired and living on her own personal island in 2 years. She doesn't make it easy, either, because she now has a thinly-veiled contempt for her job, me, and the doctor we work for. Because we're The Man or whatever, stealing her time while she makes us and not herself money. Or whatever stupid poo poo they tell people in Amway, I'm sure it hasn't changed much over the years. All the other MAs are turned off by her because she was insulted that they didn't agree to sign up under her. She drives me nuts sometimes but I also feel sad for her, because her fiance is her high school sweetheart who is a complete loser and she's hosed hitching her wagon to that dope, and she's young and naive and got taken by those Amway fucks. God I hate that company. She almost got fired after it got back to the doctor that she was complaining about how nice the doctor's home was. Well no loving poo poo, that's what happens when you go to medical school. You work your rear end off and get paid for it, as opposed to the rainbow fairy unicorn notion that you can make 7 figs a year hawking soap and mediocre toothpaste/do nothing.

Two of my coworkers got into a heated argument over Amway at my last job. I guess one guy was trying to pitch amway to the other guy's daughter at some point. Also the Amway guy would say "welcome to Oregon" every time we went outside and it was raining, so basically every time we went outside.

My buddy at work farted in front of the QA and I got sent the video. I uploaded it on youtube under the title "Filipino farts in front of a gay man." QA found out about it and yelled at me so I took the video down but he still refuses to talk to me.

At my office a girl at the front desk has been cleaning the coffee pot with the toilet brush. Apparently this has been a thing for years. Also she is the most insufferable human being I have ever met, because I think she seriously has aspergers or something. And she just has to make as much noise as possible 24/7, and does that annoying scream-yawning bullshit. She works for 3 hours at day at most. It can't be that loving tiring.

The company moved my department (mostly old alcoholics) and another department (mostly fresh out of college women) into a building together at the start of the year. One guy who was already considered weird started doing "creep walks" through the other department's area trying to start conversations and oggling the employees. Our manager has been asked to move him as far away as possible because everyone is creeped out. One of the other people in my cube hasn't spoken to me in seven months. Like, will not respond to fhinfs I say, won't start convefsations with me, etc. It's weird because she'll spend six hours of an eight hour day with people talking to her or on the phone whisper talking. I learned to not give a gently caress about this years ago due to sitting with a woman who played top 40 radio on an old alarm clock, talked to herself all day and ran a dog rescue from her desk. Still, the silence is weird and people have theories as to why I'm the only person she refuses to speak to.

My officemate hums or whistles the game of thrones or harry potter intro songs every day for a good part of the work day. You can ask him to stop and he will for about an hour then start up again. He claims he doesn't realise he is doing it.

Job performance at my company is irrelevant as the Regional Director only promotes whoever is sucking his dick, personal friends of whoever is sucking his dick, or personal friends of his wife (who was sucking his dick at work before he promoted her, married her then had her quit when corporate got wind of it). Not drama so much as infuriating bullshit.

I work in a small IT office. There is one guy who constantly gaslights other people he doesn't like and is pretty petty. He won't do it to people above him as it would hurt his advancement.

There's some right mugs at our place. There's smelly John who doesn't' have a boiler so not hot water so he stinks. He's a fat oval office too which exasperates the situation. Mad Tony who has some sort of spaccy tourettes which causes him to constantly clap his hands at odd intervals. "Bomber" who makes odd whooping noises as he walks down the corridor and farts when he sneezes, usually in burts of 3 or 4 at a time. Plus many more!

Had a CSR who always ranted and raved about God damned company video taping his every move, invasion of privacy and other poo poo like that. Thing was we had no cameras...none, nothing. After about two years of this his boss finally got fed up. We mounted a tiny blinking red light on top of an office near his cubicle and a few days later come in to find him with cardboard covering the entire top of his cubicle. Hundred and fifty people knew about the joke but the guy was loving oblivious for about a week.

My workplace: Three 50 year old racists who are bitter about everything, conversations always boil down to how somebody slighted them on the way to work in some way. one black 25 year old dude who unfortunately is the laziest guy in the entire world, I'm usually the laziest but he wins by a loving mile. Everyone throws their worst hours of the week at him though, so he works all the awkward hours because he can't afford to stand up for himself. I think he would be waaaaay less lazy if people actually started treating him like a human being. They blame everything wrong with the health care situation on him, and 90% of the time they are right, even though they super overreact about everrything, and blame him in the most racist, and most non-factual ways possible. I hate my colleagues.

My 4 coworkers Mid 40s tall, fat Englishman with gnarly teeth who can't stop thinking about futbol no matter what, it's the only thing that his life revolves around ever since his wife ditched him. Then again, I can see why his wife ditched him because he's a fan of Chubby Brown, thinks it's okay to call anyone he wants a human being, has really long nose hair and can't seem to wrap his head around why it's okay for Obama to support the UK staying in the EU. Sneezes incredibly loudly multiple times in a row and always says "x is a fookin' coont" Mid 30s Aussie guy who has absolutely no personality besides pure manners and etiquette. Overly polite but never talks about anything casually. Seems like he's actually just a human shell and underneath is probably an alien. Constantly twitches, maybe has some kind of neurological disease. His way of saying goodbye is standing in front of you, rubbing his palms together and going "... okay... well.... I'm leaving. Goodbye." and then standing there for a few seconds in silence. Another Mid 30s Aussie guy who is Catholic because his girlfriend makes him be. Constantly disparages himself, a true guilty Catholic paragon. Constantly says he thinks he's the worst employee and isn't smart but actually gets the highest reviews of anyone. Has really, really long ear hair. Constantly hunched shoulders. Late 40s French guy who is actually pretty cool and charming, plays WoW and likes Louis Vuitton stuff. Very talkative and French, but in a good way. Loves to talk about "Znoop Dohg and ze West Side, I louve ze Tupack Shakoor" I kind of worry they'd somehow find this post but I don't think anyone knows anything about me anyways.
