Workplaces affect our well-being and purpose, whether it’s engagement, fulfillment, or happiness. However, factors like lack of recognition, work-life imbalance, and toxic colleagues can turn a good job sour.
Here’s a collection of frustrating employees who test everyone’s patience.
Do it over coffee
Of course, everyone should bend over and make sure there’s always coffee for Karen.
Talk about insufferable
Though to be fair, inconsequential conversations could happen with any random person.
“I asked a coworker to count and tally up some apparel for me. This is what i got. Iām still glad she did it, but youāre supposed to make each 5th tally a slash through the previous four, in order to easily count by groups of 5 when totaling.
I assumed that was common knowledge, but maybe it isnāt.” – Reddit
“A few weeks ago I decided to grab some dinner with a coworker. I rarely go out to eat as it’s so expensive these days, but I finally decided to treat myself one night. My coworker ordered appetizers for herself, multiple drinks, a larger dinner and even dessert. When it came time to pay, we were each going to just pay for our food but she conveniently forgot her wallet and just sat there staring at me. Iām an awkward person and I really didnāt want to cover her food in the moment because it was more than I could even afford but it was such a weird situation and she promised to pay me back, so to just end the evening I covered her bill expecting to get reimbursed.
That was weeks ago and she keep posting on social media about going out to fancy restaurants or weekend trips but she always has an excuse when I ask to be paid back. I barely make a livable wage and being in the red because of her has caused me so much anxiety, I feel like such an idiot.” – Reddit
“My 2 coworkers left 45 minutes early on a holiday weekend, leaving me with all these dishes. I’m a head closer so I cannot leave until all of the work is done or I get in trouble. I’m going to be letting my boss know tomorrow when he asks why I was there an hour over my scheduled time.” – Reddit
“I don’t even mind that someone made a coffee with milk, but what bothers me is that this person left a mess behind for someone else to clean up, and no one is admitting that they did it.” – Reddit
“Coworkers used my mug as a pen holder in my absence. Finally got cold, went looking for my mug and found it like this. This is as clean as I could get it.” – Reddit
“People meet outside my office and leave chairs blocking my door. Left a note asking them to stop, note intact but door still blocked. The note says: “It’s no big deal to meet out here, but when you are done, please put the chair back and don’t leave it blocking my door. Thank you!” – Reddit
