once when I was waitressing I had a co-worker who was SO unfazed by rude customers and I was like “how do you do it?!” and she was like “oh, I have a trustfund- I just do this to make friends” and I think about her every day

Didn't realize how few perks we have at the office til I said "we're allowed to listen to the radio on Friday!" to a new hire in a way that can be likened to a girl of 12 saying "I got an orange for Christmas!" as her papa lay dying of gangrene after the Battle of Fredericksburg

I hate when people start a meeting with “everyone having a good day?” Yeah Tina, I’m at work, on a Teams meeting, and I’m on camera…doesn’t get better than this.

office culture is someone bringing in donuts and everyone for some reason refusing to take a whole one and cutting off 3/8 of the donut and then at the end of the day there's like 17/25ths of 9 different donuts left

bridal shower ok. baby shower, sure. but what we really need is unemployment showers – imagine you get laid off or quit your job and you throw a party and all your friends have to bring you gifts

Took my kid to “Bring Your Child To Work Day” a few weeks ago and now, any time I ask her how she’s doing, she says “Living the dream”.

Thinking a lot about a coworker who didn’t tell anyone he was retiring and just left at the end of his last day and never came back.

Spotify opened at work and I forgot my air pods at home and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (1941) began to play on max volume I'd rather it have been porn they're calling me Gladys

being productive at work is EASY with a disciplined routine: I spend the first 6 hours doing nothing at all, and the final 2 hours in absolute SICKO mode with the fear of god inside me

Today a coworker said he "challenged himself” to "old school google" something instead of using chat gpt. And that he "used to be really good at googling" and it was "hard" for him cause he "only uses chat gpt now.” He said this out loud in a meeting

I have a coworker who keeps cans of pop in her desk drawer and drinks them room temp. Tepid diet Dr. Pepper. Every day. Haunting. Concerning. Perhaps indicative of criminal behavior.

I will never forget the time that I helped interview a man for a job opening and when he was asked what he would contribute to the team he said “probably snacks”

I grabbed what I thought was a container of leftover chicken and potatoes from the fridge this morning on my way to the office, but it turns out it was actually cookie dough.
