People Share Their Current Work Drama That's Tearing The Workplace Apart

Work is all fun and games until someone starts stealing everyone's sandwiches. After that it's not about productivity anymore. The sole purpose of going into the office becomes a hunt for the office lunch thief.

It's amazing how passionate Carol from accounting will get when she finds her sandwich gone. And it's sort of striking how hardline pacifists will change their opinions on the death penalty when their ham and swiss goes missing from the crisper.

Our jobs are like a second family in the sense that it's a group of people who you don't get to choose to be around. You kinda just have to hope that your coworkers watch the same TV shows as you and that your boss is physically capable of grasping the human emotion of empathy. It's unlikely, but you gotta hope.

Maybe the weird thing about the workplace is that there's an intention to be professional, but when the human cracks start to show, every little ugly detail of someone's life gets magnified. Also work is boring, and running a full scale investigation on the serial toilet clogger is just about the only thing that's fun around here.
