hello all

inspired by a reddit thread, does anyone have any juicy work drama going on right now

Other departments kept using our milk which we pay for ourselves so we asked the building manager for our own fridge and put a lock on it.
Incredibly petty but we never run out of milk anymore and other departments actually buy their own now.

I've just had a positive covid result and because a colleague is going on holiday tomorrow there will only be two instead of three. I can't work from home.

Someone took my red swing line stapler, so I now have a case of the Mondays and will probably burn the place down

I'll go I work in this team , the weirdest bunch of people , there's drama ALL THE TIME one female , think really glamourous type , hair never out of place , comes from a very naice rich family but takes ridiculous risks and flirts outrageously with another collegue who acts like the leader ( he isn't we are all peers) he's harmless enough bit too good looking for his own good .hes also a flirt but we think hes possibly in the closet... the worst in the team is a bloke who is a complete stoner , totally under the influence, does nothing but get the munchies , scruffy as hell, is allowed to bring his pathetic dog to work ....who has huge anxiety issues

Anyway , we drive round in a van , solving mysteries and shit.......

Yikes! Grin

I’m one of two assistants to my boss and the last to join the team.

Anyway, the other assistant and my boss both smoke and are making a lot of work decisions while on fag breaks together. So I took up smoking to join them, it was horrible and I couldn’t bare it so I managed to convince them we should all stop. But they carried on behind my back and now my colleague gets to go to Paris with our boss and I have to stay behind.

The good coffee ran out LAST WEEK. We've been promised fresh supplies since Friday. It's now Wednesday and we're still drinking the emergency cheapo Nescafé that comes in a massive catering can. At this stage it's basically a Human Rights violation.
And STILL the good coffee has not arrivedAngry
