'Never say that's not my job': Bad boss posts passive-aggressive signs all over the office when workers return

Now that we've made it through the week, we can all agree that it's best to ease into returning to work at the start of the new year. Throwing your employees into the deep end does nothing more than start the year off on the wrong foot. Enforcing bogus rules, policies, and mantras will only make your employees change their New Year's Resolutions to "get a new job." 

So when this employee returned to the office only to find tons of posters saying things like "never say that's not my job" all over the place, you can just imagine the feeling that gave everyone in the office. It certainly was not the intended feeling. It certainly was not extra motivation. It certainly was not a renewed sense of purpose going into 2024. No, all it resulted in was a renewed sense of contempt.
