'[In trouble for] NOT bringing homemade cookies [to work]': Man deals with CEO making ridiculous baking request

Baking cookies out of the kindness of your heart for coworkers is one thing, but being forced to bake them by your CEO is totally out of control. A Redditor shared his story online and received an influx of shocked reactions from other users. He explained that he occasionally bakes cookies for people working at the two office locations owned by his company. During a recent visit to his company's secondary office, he showed up without any cookies.

The workers there filed a complaint against him to the CEO! The CEO told him he needed to correct the issue by bringing them cookies on his next trip over. He says he'll only bring cookies for the secondary office if he can do the baking during company time. He said, "I was ordered to make them by the CEO so it's business time now." He's not wrong! Redditors who've responded to his post are totally on his side. Being forced to bake cookies turns a kind favor into something beyond annoying.
