Being an employee means adhering to specific workplace rules and risking inevitable consequences if you don't. Included in those policies is the dress-code, which will, of course, differ depending on where you work. However, sometimes the rules aren't so clear-cut and can be left open to the employee's interpretation—for example, deciding whether or not wearing a bra is necessary. One woman faced this very problem and posted on Reddit's Am I The A**hole after receiving complaints from her new coworkers about her refusal to wear a bra in the office. She stresses that she didn't wear a bra at her previous job, her nipples weren't on show, and a sweater hid her 'large boobs,' and she was, in her opinion, entirely appropriate. Redditors, however, disagreed and argued that, although it sucks, it was unprofessional and if she didn't like the policy at her new workplace, she should find another job. What do you think?
Professional At Work
We're all taught to work smarter and not harder because time is valuable, and we've all got better things to do, right? Sometimes, working smarter means taking shortcuts that could look dishonest on the surface level, but hey, if people are none the wiser, does it matter? Like, does it reaaaaally matter? These people tweeted about the scams they pulled off at work so they could work smarter and not harder, and quite frankly, they're genius! So take some inspiration and see if you can hack your jobs, too, like these geniuses.
We've all had our fair share of "sick days," where we come up with some obscene reason to not go to work. Hey, we're not robots, we need some time to recharge. The only issue is if you keep telling our bosses that your car broke down when it actually does, they might not believe you anymore. It's never good to be the boy who cried wolf. However, sometimes there are just straight-up unexplainable and absurd things that actually cause us to miss work.
Can you think of yours? Here are a few ridiculous examples.
Every industry has their secrets. They have a certain image they look to put out into the world that may or may not align with how they actually do business. It's called 'growing your brand image.' Employees can get in a lot of trouble for revealing certain secrets and often have to sign NDA's if they're really that pressing. Don't even get us started on Disney. But not every place is as strict, and once their employees move on, they're free to spill the tea.
Most people develop close relationships with their coworkers in one way or another. When you spend eight hours a day with someone, you'll inevitably share personal issues with them, whether it's your relationship drama or family issues. Some people even have this sort of relationship with their boss if they're fortunate enough. But sometimes, your boss can share personal anecdotes with you that aren't wanted, warranted, or appropriate. Redditors shared some of 'The most TMI thing' their boss ever told them, and these horror stories are proof that real-life Michael Scotts exist way more than we'd want to believe.
If you love your job, you might be one of the lucky few who do. Whether it's because of sh*tty pay, a nightmare boss, or boring AF coworkers, some people genuinely dread going into work. Plastering a smile on your face all day is tough—and so is maintaining a resting bitch face—but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get through the day. We know that in an alternate universe, you're being paid to nap and eat cake all day, but welcome to reality, where your rent doesn't pay itself. So if your boss is a total asswipe, management sucks, and your coworkers drive you insane, these memes are for you.
Unless you're part of the small but elite club of people in the world who actually loves their job, you'll find going to work a total bummer. And that's OK because you're not alone. In fact, if you asked everyone in the world, 99.999% of them would probably tell you that if they could get paid to stay in bed and drink mimosas all day, they would. Shocking, right? So whether you hate your boss, your coworkers, your commute, or your actual job itself, these memes are for you. And just so we're clear: here at Cheezcake, we love our jobs because we get to create awesome content like this, just for you.
It is hard to understand what would drive people to start going at it right in the middle of their workspace. But I suppose that is exactly why it is so enticing. There's always a thrill in knowing you may be caught in a very inappropriate location, and possibly even have to face the consequences. Is there a fetish for this? Or do we all just like to feel a little bad sometimes?
On Reddit people are sharing their stories of what happened when they got caught having sex at work. You might find the responses quite titillating.
Sex workers definitely have an interesting career. I think, naturally, we are all kind of curious about their day-to-day. Or maybe it's more like night-to-night. Still, it is a good thing that people are becoming more tolerant and accepting towards people with all kinds of careers. We all have to pay the rent somehow, the landlord doesn't care how we acquire our funds. Whether it's by selling cars or sticking things up your.... I digress.
Anyway, even with a job as unpredictable as them, there must be times where sex workers are caught way off guard by the requests they get.
This Reddit thread capitalizes on such outlandish moments.
By now, you've probably seen the "I hope this email finds you well" meme making its way around. And in my humble opinion, it's one of the most relatable memes of all time, especially given the current worldwide situation. Whether you're working from home, working from the office, or even unemployed, one thing we know is that the email almost NEVER finds you well. Twitter users have used GIFS to depict exactly how the email finds them, and oh boy, are they accurate!
There's a subreddit called r/techsupportgore, and its name perfectly describes its content: people who fix computers upload photos of the nightmarish scenarios they find themselves in. From melted extension cords to server rooms that look like a jungle, some of these hardware disasters are so bad, you can't help but feel for the folks who have to fix them. So continue scrolling, check out the pics, and don't be surprised if you cringe to the brink of passing out after only a few of them.
We might be going through forced lockdown, but technology has allowed us to keep in touch with friends, family, and coworkers. Although it's not quite the same as seeing someone face to face, it's the next best thing and has meant that many people have continued to hold meetings over platforms such as Zoom and go about business as 'usual'. But sometimes, technology can get the better of us and bite us in the but when we least expect it. Check out these people who got truly owned by video conferencing tools during COVID-19.
Those who work in the service industry know that the customer is always right. Well, officially, anyway. In reality, customers are a pretty demanding bunch who often make unreasonable requests. Whether it's in shops, restaurants or hotels, sometimes clients demand things that push the limits a little too far. One twitter started a thread asking people to share their most unusual customer service demands and the answers are pretty ridiculous! Check out below just how unreasonable some people can be.
When you spend 40+hours in an office behind a screen, chances are that your coworkers will get on your nerves. Everyone has a bad day, whether it's because of work or stuff going on in your personal life, but societal norms dictate that we have to keep it together in the workplace and not lose our shit. Instead, it has become socially acceptable to become passive-aggressive, which is usually seen best in work emails. These phrases are ones that we can all attest to having used at some point in our careers and show how petty, yet professional you can be while still getting your point across. But here's what they really mean...
