Yahoo Lifestyle I Can't Help But Feel Bad For These 17 Sad Souls Who Had Terrible Days At Work
If you're a modern-day peasant like the rest of us, you've probably endured a real shit day at work.
From terrible customers, to crappy bosses, to days that just don't seem to go as planned... we've all been there.
Sometimes, you just need a reminder that you're not alone in your terrible work days. Here are 17 people whose bad days at work might just make you feel a bit better about your own:
1.This person who found this sign posted in the breakroom, telling them that there is a blackout on vacation days, time off, and sick days for the entire holiday season:
"God forbid I get sick. Company doesn’t give a 💩." —u/Goodn00dl3
2.This person who was informed, about two weeks before the holidays, that they don’t get December 24 off despite this holiday schedule being up all year:
"They just told us that we don’t get that Dec 24th off and took down all the holiday schedules... They forgot one in my area." —u/Crossingthelineagain
3.This person whose muffins were eaten by someone at work, despite their name very clearly being written on it:
4.This person who found a $100 bill while cleaning up at work, only to turn it around, and...
...
"It was folded and in the grass. Looked legit for a second. Infuriating shit." —u/fluffh34d420
5.This contractor who had to throw away thousands of dollars worth of perfectly good items at work:
"This isn't even close to all of it, not even half. They've also thrown away pallets full of computers... I wish I had a truck cause I'd be donating all of this stuff, especially because my mom works for a homeless organization, which is always in constant need of donations." —u/Nelfinez
6.These contractors who drilled a little too long on the facade wall:
7.This person whose shoes crumbled into a literal powder on their way into the office:
8.This person whose shoe fell apart on their way into work and fixed it with a rubberband, only for the second shoe to do this on their walk home:
"I tempted faith and this happened." —u/redditkonto2
9.This person who had a massacre-looking spill in the warehouse:
"It looks like you ran over Fred with a forklift." —u/dmarve
It's apparently Kool-Aid.
10.This person whose $1700 bike was stolen while on the job:
"Guess I’m walking until I can save up again." —u/Ilikeweedallday
11.This person who was in Chicago for work, had to pay $65 a night for parking, only to wake up to discover this and all their work equipment stolen:
"I wasn’t even in town for 12 hours, lmao. This just pushed my trip out because my company needs to mail me equipment." —u/Bmansway
12.This person who accidentally broke the window while stressed out at work:
"I was so stressed this morning that I accidentally bumped my pallet into the window just BARELY, but apparently good enough!" —u/wafflecc
13.This person who was laid off with zero notice and found all their stuff already in a box when they got to the office:
14.This person who broke their finger at work and then got fired after the drug test, all at the end of a 12-hour night shift:
15.This person slipped on ice and tore their favorite jeans right before a whole shift at work:
"Now I gotta go a whole shift at work with my bright orange boxers on show." —u/TheAnonymousDoom
16.This person who brought muffins to work for their birthday, only to get fired five minutes into their shift due to budget cuts:
And lastly:
17.This person who made a $100,000 (and very messy) mistake at work by puncturing a tote of water based ink while unloading a dark trailer:
"The entire [tote] emptied in a matter of seconds. The trailer, dock door, and outside were turned blue. Even though it is water-based, it still has water pollutants, so the EPA had to be called in because it got into the sewer. The specialty company that was called in to clean up has spent the last three weeks digging up the sewer and surrounding ground that had been contaminated. A few days of heavy rain hasn't helped the cleanup at all. Needless to say, I had a nervous breakdown and missed two days of work. Got a call asking if I was quitting, which would possibly lead to criminal charges (I don't know if that's possible, but I know I can fire back for not having dock lights and shitty fork trucks with dim headlights). Being close to three weeks out, I can finally think back and sorta laugh at this situation." —u/M0NG00SY
