In the harsh and unforgiving world of work, one of the best ways of coping with it all is having solidarity with your coworkers. Admittedly, this isn't always easy, but at the end of the day you probably have more in common with them than you do the big boss. This is especially true when it comes to getting penalized. In most jobs, nobody is truly safe from an impromptu firing and often favoritism and office politics can play a role.

This is something that has come to the viral attention of Twitter recently, after one daughter shared her father's workplace antics. Claiming he had been caught sleeping on the job but managing not to get canned because of it, he apparently texted a former colleague who had been fired for the same thing, telling her to sue. Most people felt they had no choice but to respect his attitude. Everybody deserves a chance.
