Why would anyone do this? It would be very outing

So Sheila and Ian had been having an affair. Maggie had known all along, but instead of telling anyone had been using it to blackmail Ian into getting a promotion. So, Maggie bags the promotion ahead of Clare who is more qualified but a bit of a pain. Clare goes mental and throws Maggie's stapler across the room and smashes a window. Of course Ian knows why, but can't say incase Maggie outs him. He lied to senior management and told them a seagull flew into the window and signed Clare off on long-term sick. Maggie's got the promotion but now has to sit by the broken window which she claims is giving her an arthritic neck.

John was late for work and got Molly to log in for him.
She put a jacket on the back of his chair and mug on his desk. Get this.
NOONE FOUND OUT.

That’s Karma, Maggie

Someone ate the sandwich that belonged to Ross.

You can have this one for your article. I used to help myself to the milk on occasion but didn't always put a pound in every week.

Ah, what a lovely daily mail thing to say!

Someone opened the boss's sandwich his wife made and put some post it notes inside it! He wasn't happy when he bit into it 😂

There’s definitely some buzz around the office lately! Word has it that Sam from marketing and Emma in finance have been spending quite a bit of time together, sparking rumors of a potential office romance. It all started when people noticed them grabbing coffee together a little too often, and the whispers have only grown since they were spotted leaving a team happy hour together last Friday. Everyone’s watching closely to see if there's more to the story, but neither of them is giving anything away just yet.

On a different note, there’s been some tension in the leadership team. Rumor has it that the new project manager, Lisa, isn’t seeing eye to eye with our department head, Paul. They’ve had a few heated discussions in meetings lately, and people are speculating whether Lisa’s innovative approach is ruffling some feathers in the more traditional leadership ranks. Whatever’s going on, it’s definitely adding some drama to the usual office routine!

Work drinks, intern (male) starts getting too forward with female staff. Partner steps in to tell him that's enough, and intern swings at him, stumbles and lands in a heap on the floor.

A long time ago a colleague took pity on another single colleague who needed some DIY doing they couldn't do themselves. Colleague 1 volunteered their husband to help out colleague 2. Husband and colleague 2 end up having an affair, colleague 2 confided in me that husband was leaving colleague 1 at the weekend to move in with her - I had to work with both of them, then fake shock when our manager rang the team who were off duty to let them know colleague 1 wouldn't be in for a few days as her husband left her for colleague 2 Confused this was over 20 years ago and afaik they're still together

Two people just got sacked for embezzlement. Major gossip but not really a secret though, they got perp-walked out past everyone.

Tattletail · 10/10/2024 22:46

Someone swapped Derek's sandwich for a brick.

LeavesOnTrees · 10/10/2024 23:23

Boss was into design, so got a new white corian sink worktop in the kitchen / bar area. Some people didn't wash up their dirty coffee cups so the lovely white sink and counter got stained.

Do you think there might be two office romances afoot? Lisa and Paul sound like quite a fiery pairing!

Oh there was loads where I used to work. It was an old building and there was one particular area said to be haunted. It was used as an old equipment graveyard and very creepy so hardly anyone ever went there.

Anyway, Joe and Jane were having an affair, both married to other people. One day someone walked in on them in the haunted store room having some “alone time”. They claimed that Jane was frightened and ran into Joes arms out of fear. Word was that she thought she’d seen the ghost, but it was just Joe putting the willies up her😁

Another one was a much disliked person who somehow got promoted to manager. She refused to promote anyone already in her team after that. If a position came up she’d take care to write the job advert in such a way that none of her team had the necessary qualification, think along the lines of asking for a Geography degree for job as a health and safety manager. Her team got increasingly pissed off by this, and one by one left. Then she found out the hard way that neither she, nor anyone on her shiny new team knew what the fuck they were doing, and she got the boot after 20 odd years working there, having been carried by her old team the whole time.

Someone used up the last of the teabags on a Friday and said nothing. Monday morning was a disaster.

True story.
