I was once hired as an “unpaid” marketing intern in exchange for college credits. The role required me to work 20 hours a week, spread over 4 hours a day. During my first week, the woman who hired me assigned a task that would clearly take 6-8 hours to complete, all within the same day. I politely informed her that while I would do my best, it was unlikely I could finish it within the day’s deadline and asked if that would be acceptable.Her response? A cold, “Excuse me?“I reiterated my concern, and she abruptly ended the call. Minutes later, I received a WhatsApp message from her stating that I no longer needed to work there. Within the hour, she contacted my professor to inform them they had “let me go.” I ended up in tears on a Zoom call with my professor, who was supportive. As a result of the incident, my college blacklisted the company for future internships as they were clearly unprofessional.

Fg Bob from sales. No one can stand him, but we will never, ever see the end of him because he makes us so much money. I’m talking top salesman in the US ten years running in a highly competitive industry. SO MUCH MONEY, but such a jackass.-Bob is misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, hates democrats, hates all non-christians, hates black people, hates mexicans, hates asians.-Bob thinks Obama is a muslim terrorist planning to blow up the white house.-Bob thinks all the girls in the office need to report their dating/sex lives to him. Bob also thinks that girls who date are whores, and girls who don’t date are frigid.-Bob has two adult sons. When his sons start dating an ‘undesirable’ woman (feminist, asian, jewish, whatever), he bribes the woman to dump them. Bob takes great pleasure in telling us how much money it takes each woman to be convinced.-Bob wants to set me up with one of his sons. This would be hell.-Bob chooses to make long, loud sales calls in my office, despite having his own that he rarely uses. He then quizzes me on what sales techniques he used during the call. Fk off, I’m not in sales and I have my own work to do.-Bob recently tried to shame the new receptionist for not having a good relationship with her son. It’s easy to be a parent, easy to make your children love you, etc etc. He wasn’t pleased when I pointed out that one of his sons is currently no-contact, and the other is just using him to bankroll his new company.-Bob thinks he has the defining knowledge on everything, but especially nutrition. He likes to criticize what people weigh, what they bring for lunch, etc. Bob is diabetic and about 75 pounds overweight.-Bob thinks divorce is a sin. Bob is on his third marriage.-On the business side, Bob likes to make promises that are impossible to uphold just to sell the product. Then he vanishes and makes the rest of the company deal with these customers with unreasonable expectations.F**g Bob. Glad I switched departments and don’t have to talk to him as much anymore.

It’s no surprise that with people spending so much time atwork, their colleagues play a rather significant role in their well-being. Talking about such a role, the MSU Foundation Professor of Management in the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University, Dr. Russell Johnson, pointed out that “Quality interactions and relationships are incredibly important at work, especially given the increase in team-based and interdependent work (for instance, completion of core work tasks requiring coordination and inputs from multiple employees).“Oftentimes, an employee’s supervisor and coworkers are the ‘face’ of the organization for them, and the quality of their interactions and relationships with coworkers ‘spills over’ to color their attitudes toward the job and organization more generally.“For example, higher quality relationships with one’s coworkers are associated with higher job satisfaction, stronger commitment to the organization, better job performance, more citizenship and cooperative behaviors, less deviant behaviors (for example, taking longer-than-necessary breaks, stealing office supplies, verbal abuse), and lower turnover.”

Had this one old lady who was obsessed with working hard. I got zero idea why a woman would be so loyal to a corporation that paid her minimum wage.You’d have a little rest like drink from a bottle of water or just have a brief chat with a colleague and she’d flip out saying you’re lazy and get a lecture about how important it is to work hard.Turns out she ended up getting fired and lost out on all the bonus’s the corp gave because they hated her.She taught me a valuable lesson. Corps never give a c**p about how hard you work. Work hard enough so no one has to pick up your slack but otherwise just work for your money and that’s it.Don’t give it your all, just do your job and that’s it. Never do extra unless they are willing to pay you more.

The expert continued to note that people’s need for relatedness, as well as the need for a sense of belongingness and connection to others, are key psychological needs, which—when met—can make individuals more intrinsically motivated, productive, and innovative.“When people have a close and genuine connection to one or more coworkers, it satisfies their need for relatedness. This can be a replenishing experience for people, which ‘fills up’ their mental and emotional energies at work, which gives them more resources to allocate to their work tasks,” he explained in a recent interview withBored Panda.“Also, as mentioned above, our immediate social environment at work is essentially a proxy for how people view the broader organization. So, when you like your coworkers and have positive experiences, it ‘spills over’ to more positive attitudes and behaviors directed at the organization. For example, people don’t typically quit to escape organizations; rather, they quit to escape uncivil and prickly coworkers and bosses.”

My manager at a mall gift shop once invited me to a party at his place. “Who’s going to be there?”, I asked. “Some friends, maybe 5-10 people, no big thing” he replied. “Sure,” I said.Arrive at his place. No cars out front, it’s quiet. Lights are on though. I ring the doorbell and Manager answers and lets me in. “Where is everyone?” I ask as I enter, as I notice there’s hardly anyone else there. Except for one couple, both dressed to the 9’s.At this point you might be thinking it was some sex thing, but no, it was worse.They pitched me Amway.I got a job at Wal-Mart a week later.

I worked for a very wealthy attorney whose son was convicted of being a serial r***st. The whole family treated people terribly, everyone around them was there to be used and discarded.The fact that the son was actually convicted and publicly shamed happened only because the severity of his crimes was so egregious that the courts couldn’t ignore it and the family couldn’t overcome the victims' statements the way they ran over everyone else. The son’s defense in court was a window into the way this family treated everyone - the victims were at fault, because they were trying to get something from him. My boss viewed everything that way, he saw his employees as money sucking expenses and instantly discounted any work they did as unimportant, unskilled, worthless. Worst boss ever.

The same way good relationships with co-workers can have a positive influence on an employee, bad ones can have one, too; but a far less positive one. Many people know that few things are more aggravating than having to deal with a co-worker you despise on a daily basis, be it because of their annoying habits, their jokes you find borderline sexist, or something else, for that matter.Discussing the way working with someone you are not that fond of can affect a person, Dr. Johnson suggested that dealing with anaggravating coworkerplaces a heavy tax on people’s ability to control and regulate their behavior.“Each of us has a pool of cognitive/attentional resources, which are needed to process information cognitively and execute actions behaviorally. When we are able to rest or experience respites, this pool of resources replenishes (much like filling up a gas tank). However, when we engage in challenging cognitive and behavioral activities (for example, suppressing thoughts, regulating emotions, fine motor control requiring high vigilance), it drains these resources and, if it continues unabated, we can soon find ourselves depleted and unable to take further action (until the pool replenishes).”

I had a boss who tried to overrule my bonus structure within the first month of her employment. She stole a presentation I created and presented it as her own. She asked me to finish my degree and the company would pay for it from our scholarship fund… which turned into her lying to our president and me screaming at both of them (I was a single mom with thousands of debt because of them). She once told me that she could make me chauffeur her children around if she wanted to, because she was above me. She asked the president to fire me after I transferred out of her department.Now, reader, you might assume she was evil (she was) and malicious (indeed)… but she was also as dumb as a box of rocks. This woman couldn’t tell accounting from hieroglyphics if her life depended on it.When I finally quit that job, she requested an exit interview to which I ever so politely declined and wished her ill.

An egotistical manager who drowned himself in far too much aftershave. Lied about everything, claimed to forget conversations, what was said during conversations or make something up entirely. Flipped between the worst micromanager (that didn’t have a clue what was going on the majority of the time) or disappearing for the majority of shift, which was preferable tbh.

“An aggravating coworker, unfortunately, elicits several demanding activities that deplete people’s resources, including emotional control/suppression (for instance, suppressing feelings of anger, frustration, and anxiety from being treated in a rude or threatening manner), cognitive rumination (victims worrying about whether they are somehow responsible for the aggravating treatment), and problem-solving (thinking of strategies to somehow stop or avoid the mistreatment),” Prof. Johnson continued.“Note that these activities are in addition to the ‘typical’ cognitive and behavioral activities that an employee is required to engage in to complete his/her core work tasks. Thus, having an aggravating coworker can quickly leave employees feeling emotionally, mentally, and physically depleted.”

CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCHCRUNCHcrunchcrunchHe had the literal worst takes I have ever heard. Not like, political stuff. Just objectively wrong things. Provably wrong. It was infuriating because our cubicles pointed directly at each other, so I had unfettered access to the flow of stupid.I eventually popped and quit after two years, and didn’t have a job lined up or anything because he actively made my life terrible for 8 hours a day.

According to Dr. Johnson, some research suggests that experiences in the social domain at work (for instance, the quality of interpersonal interactions and relationships) aremore importantthan experiences in the task domain at work (for instance, task autonomy and skill variety) for employee well-being and productivity.

Coworker who trauma dumped to gain sympathy and pity. Everyday was a new excruciating story about her horrible abusive childhood, beatings from her boyfriends, house fires, family member dying from d*s/gun violence. A lot of her life was tragic but a lot of it was her making herself responsible for some terrible people.After every tragedy, there would always happen to be a Gofund me or an office collection to help pay for funeral/repair/god knows costs. I don’t think she was actually grifting on purpose but she probably realized early on in her life if she talked about tragedy in grisely detail, she’d get some type of handout. I think she only managed this for so long because we worked at a non-profit with a very high turnover rate. She had the perfect sympathetic audience that wasnt around long enough to call her on her st.

My cousin.I worked at Pizza Hut and she was hired after I was. I hadn’t seen her often and didn’t know her well (not real close with most of my family, much as I love them) so I didn’t know enough to warn my boss.She is the most petty, narcissistic, angry, confrontational, evil little b***h I have ever met in my life. Nothing is ever her fault, she’s always the victim. Will straight up lie to your face ABOUT THINGS YOU WERE THERE FOR.She’d throw fits in front of customers, throw things, scream, curse, etc….she didn’t last very long, and her boyfriend was trespassed from the property for getting in the manager’s face and threatening him.I’d like to note that manager was one of the kindest ,most badass men I’ve ever met and he could definitely have wiped the floor with the asshat if he had just a bit less patience.

We called her Pizza Thumbs. She was morbidly obese, and didn’t like showering, so she didn’t. The smell that came from her and her cubicle was disturbing, sour milk mixed with old body odor, it turns my stomach thinking about it. Coworkers would purposefully take wide detours away from her desk to avoid the smell. She was mean and kind of an a*****e, but wanted attention, so she would sneeze, as loud as she possibly could, about 4 or 5 times in a row. It was disturbing and we were pretty sure sneezes 2-5 were fake, for the attention. One day in a meeting, she was picking the scabs on her arms…and eating them. I thought my coworker was going to vomit on the conference table. We would get food often at work for the whole office, and the unwritten rule was, if you weren’t in line before her, you weren’t eating. Not because she would take it all, which she would also do, but because she would lick her fingers and then continue to touch the food, hence the name Pizza Thumbs. Tear apart slices, lick thumbs, continue to touch more slices with said licked thumbs, and leave those contaminated slices for everyone else. I’m pretty sure we threw a party when she got transferred to another location.

We work for a lot of wealthy customers.We started working for a client last year who thought they were wealthy.Hands down the biggest d**k head ive met in my life.Still owes us nearly 20 grand.Total prick. Driving round in financed cars, likes to act like money is irrelevant and it doesn’t matter if its just wasted. Then doesn’t pay bills.Looking forward to the day he loses his high paid job and his financed world comes crashing down.

My current employer.. she’s a very nice lady and caring as well. Problem is she has untreated ADHD and will not take her meds because she’s “fighting it.” She gets really loud when she’s excited. I’ve had to shut her office door. She is very scattered and disorganized. I have sat with her countless times to show her the folders I’ve created on her laptop in order for her to locate clients and remember what they need. I’ll be in the middle of a task and have to drop what I’m doing to start another task of “equal importance.” She spits food out on her keyboard. We have an 80 pound office dog she can’t handle which I take out and work with.. love that dog but just another interruption. Problem is I’m paid very well and she’s very generous with the bonuses. I’m not going anywhere.

I’m a teacher. The first district I worked in was a mess, and my coworkers and I were pretty miserable in general. Part of the problem was that we had to share classrooms. For instance, I taught one period per day in another teacher’s main room, while the other two periods (block schedule) were in my main room.The teacher whose room I had to use once a day was a control freak and what I would classify as a “high-conflict individual”. Everyone who had to share a room with her ended up complaining to administration because she would confront you during class and in front of students. And it was always over stupid s**t. For instance, she accused one teacher’s class of stealing her pens. She once got angry with me because she thought my students were moving her textbooks…? They weren’t; she was just paranoid.I’m so glad I got out of there years ago, but I still feel for whichever poor teacher has to share a room with that woman.

Someone who’s both a compulsive liar and a one-upper. Whenever someone is talking about a positive or negative situation they are in, whether in professional or personal life, he will always try to muster up the most obviously made up story just to show that his life is better or worse depending on the situation.

I worked for a miser of man in his restaurant for 2 whole days. He was so stingy he wouldn’t even let employees charge their phones. My breaking point was while I was washing my hands (which you should do anytime you touch a dirty plate before going back in the dining room) he grabbed my wrist, turned off the water and yelled, “YOU WASH TOO MUCH!” I left about 20 minutes later and never looked back.

I had two people throw me under the bus for things I clearly didnt do. Luckily management didnt believe them and asked for my side of the story. They wanted my job because it “paid more” but in hindsight i was severly underpaid and overworked. I promptly asked to work out of a different location. The added 10 minute commute did so much for my mental health to not be around those people. I dont work there anymore but i know they still work in the same industry as me.Anytime we hire someone new at my current office I pray that it’s not them.

I once worked with a woman who smoked. A lot. And she smoked horrible smelling cigarettes. You could smell her in the elevator hours after she had left… blärgh.

At 21 I worked for a very weak male project manager who would turn to jelly the moment a women was involved. He was often very distracted and once when he didn’t lock his computer I saw most of his work time was spent on a messed up custody battle with his (ex?)wife.He was also quite the coward so he’d send me as a sacrificial lamb to very contentious situations to see how much I’d get beaten up before he got involved. He is the most pathetic manager I have ever worked for and when we had meeting showdowns when female managers would try and pin their team’s non-performance on me - not only did he do nothing he rebuked me when I defended myself expecting me to take it as junior staff and make his life easier.It all came to a head when after many of these situations I told him I would never ever assume responsibility for something I didn’t do which he didn’t like. This was after I’d repeatedly protected him with clients when he’d gone AWOL so I pushed for a transfer to get away from him.I hate weak managers and I will never work for someone that takes the title and the money and doesn’t step up and do the job.

We were on-site doing a presentation for a customer. Going around the room for introductions. He cut me off to correct me while I was introducing myself, and then proceeded to monologue without interruption for 90 minutes.

Ugh these OBNOXIOUS people in my cubicle room who are LOUD AF AND WON’T SHUT UP. It’s not even work related, just ignorant rambling about how foreigners need to “go back to where they came from” (even though the ones talking are minorities themselves??), crazy s**t about witches casting spells and demons possessing people, causing illness, and about how they don’t believe mental illness exists (THEY ARE LITERAL THERAPISTS IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION!!!)I’m extra sensitive to noise and prefer silence, I get overstimulated easily and it causes raaaage (in case you couldn’t tell lmao).

I once had a manager who insisted that our team was “a family”. To her that meant she was way too involved in everyone’s personal life to an inappropriate level. It got so bad that when I was going through a divorce that she would regularly text my ex and keep him up to date on what was going on with me. I had to file a complaint to HR just to get her to stop. She ended up having to formally apologize and sign some form saying she would no longer text the partners of any employees that had not given her written permission to do so. Of course she used the fact that I filed a complaint to HR as a reason to bash me to the entire team and every other manager in the company. Unsurprisingly when lay offs started in 2020 I was in the first round to go.I still keep in touch with some of the people who work there and this woman still bashes me even nearly 6 years after I reported her.

A former manager, let’s call her Adi, at my first “real” jobAdi only became a manager because she’d been there for like 10+ years and had no idea how to be a manager.She was rude, self centered, know it all who didn’t know it all, and heavily favored the 3 other women who were her minority as well and constantly got onto the other 3 of her group that weren’t her minority and women over every single thing. I remember once she tried to reem a co-worker and I for taking a 61 minute lunch instead of an hour when SHE STOPPED US IN THE HALLWAY to talk to us about a project we were working on while going back to our desk.The worst experience I had was a 1 on 1 I had with her in which she was moisturizing herself during our talk, and then kicked off her shoes and started rubbing lotion all over her feet. When we got done talking, she reached over to shake my hand and got extremely offended when I refused to reciprocate.Thank god I got out of her group, and then onto bigger and better jobs in my field and career.

The guy who always took credit for everyone else’s work, but mysteriously disappeared when it was time to actually do the work. A true Houdini of the office.

A project manager who coudn’t manage a pissup in a brewery. He’d keep giving you more work, even though he could see you were already running at max capacity. He’d then laugh at you when you complained or tried to put him in his place.He also added his academic postnominals to his signature. Even when signing delivery notes or creidt card slips e.g. John Smith MBA, BSc, DipIS.

Worked with a guy who refused to wear deodorant. It was a high maintenance job so he would smell HORRIBLE. He was also super racist and would lose his temper over miniscule things.

I can nottt top my brother’s. His manager was a felon (HOW?) who had made a run for it after being arrested for elder and child abuse. One day, he wasn’t working when he was scheduled and it turns out the police from some other state finally found and arrested him.Plato’s Closet hires fugitives on the run lmao.

“Tracey”.“Tracey” was fat, ugly, had a screeching voice, a bad attitude, and nasty body odour.“Tracey” ‘accidentally lost’ all the passwords for every system other than the main one we used, meaning that if any calls came through to her for any of the other systems she had to pass the work on to the rest of us. Why the supervisors tolerated this, I have no idea.“Tracey” would claim ignorance on how to perform a process that was everyone’s responsibility. When she picked up the phone to someone who needed that task to be done, again - she would fob it off onto one of the rest of us.Tracey would shout and swear across the entire room. Tracey would trash-talk the supervisor and, when told to just log off and go home, simply refused. Again, why she was not disciplined for any of that, I have no idea.F**k you, “Tracey”.

I worked with a guy that called himself chuckles, because “you better keep me laughing”If I had to guess he works at a gas station now or is in prison.Also i worked with one guy that stabbed himself through his own hand on a cutting board so he could leave service early.I imagine he is dead from self inflicted knife wounds.Both guys were really bad at cooking.

I feel lucky my worst coworker was sweet, just annoying af. She ate lunch at her desk and liked smacking her lips and talking with her mouth so full you could barely understand her. And she never, ever shut up. She also never washed her hands after using the bathroom, so her incessant habit of manhandling any food you brought in and cutting it in half (or quarters if it was already halved, or eighths if it was already quartered, she could never take anything without splitting it) was not only obnoxious but disgusting. She also cleared her throat about twenty times a minute, and I’m barely exaggerating.I try to give people a lot of benefit of the doubt when it comes to intelligence because intelligence takes so many forms, but she definitely tried me. Her car got broken into while she was at the gym. They got away with her entire purse because, and I quote, “of course I left it in there.” Not “of course” as in “god, of COURSE I just had to do that,” nope! “Of course” as in “well, that’s just what you do at the gym, duh.” She also accused a local “Asian” restaurant of serving magic mushrooms because “they had this weird poster in there about ‘Space: the final frontier.’”.

An overachiever! 🤣 I am serious she came into the office for the first time and introduced herself as an overachiever! I sat there and told myself, oh s**t I am not going to be in this job for long.

A man who exploited me at work, in addition to eating my lunch.
