Comment preview: Dude that sucks, my coworker was being passive aggressive and I chose toignore and go about my day. Fast forward two weeks. I got called into hr abruptly and questioned about 'the incident on the 23rd' which I seem to know-nothing about. Turns out Trevor f ....

Comment preview: There was a truck stop near my work that had a restaurant and a kind of antique novelty store out front. THere was always some bizarre stuff there that we checked out, but never bought. One day I was sitting in our workspace and I saw the most abominable l ....

Comment preview: Ok, not going for the other answers, like going to her or your boss. Passive aggression in the office 101: the CC. CC your replies to her unnecessary critique to other heads, maybe your manager for example. She sass you about color choice on that one chart ....

Comment preview: It sounds like you took every opportunity to be passive aggressive and clingy and that your boyfriend was trying hard to treat you like an adult even though you weren't acting like one. You sound like the typical insecure girlfriend who finds a reason to f ....

Comment preview: I would not like to work with this person. Expects to be given only fun/high-importance tasks in a new job without having proven themselves first, then demonstrates why it wouldn't have been a good idea by complaining about everything and passive-aggressi ....

Comment preview: I mentioned a few things below, but here's another story: A meeting was scheduled with my boss and several coworkers for 11am. About 10 minutes before that, I run to the restroom, thinking I have plenty of time to spare. As I'm walking back to my office, a ....

Comment preview: I work in direct patient care in a psychiatric facility when one of my coworkers suddenly called a patient a whore. Yelled it right in her face in front of myself and other staff. I wrote her up, because I don't think it was right. Fast forward a few wee ....

Comment preview: I was completely unaware of this until I started dating my current girlfriend a couple of years ago. She would mention how she was being "skinny-shamed" at work, and I just sort of shrugged it off at first, not really understanding what she meant. Maybe ev ....

Comment preview: An ex-coworker of mine had this happen to his daughter. She met a "boy" she met online somewhere. It turned out to two men and a woman. They lured her into the car then held her against her will. They kept her strung out on heroin and crack for the ne ....

Comment preview: No. But if I go to work pissed off and start snapping at all my coworkers, you can bet your ass I'll be in my bosses office getting "coached". If I go to a party and act like a frustrated child you can bet your ass people are going to say dude wtf and walk ....

Comment preview: A coworker whose last day is today just sent out a mass email with "thank you"s to several people in the company. It's one of those types of emails where I'm glad I'm not called out, because, wow, if I didn't think he was an asshole before now, he definite ....

Comment preview: * Too many things to choose from, but I would have to say that I loved, loved, LOVED working on her VO script with the rest of the writing team. Those were some of the most hilarious meetings of all time. So many people pitching funny jokes! * The story ....

Comment preview: (1) People who treat maintenance and administrative support staff like they are not their equals, or like invisible slaves. These are some of the most important people they work with and someday they will need one of them to save their asses. (2) People w ....

Comment preview: Its a great tool, a good cop or similar will use everything to his or her advantage and CCTV is brilliant. I use the CCTV in work to my advantage all the time. If I'm likely to be assaulted, I make sure I do all the right things (passive defensive body lan ....

Comment preview: Everyone else here seems to like what the wife did, but to me that was *way* overstepping bounds. Nicole may have deserved to be fired, but OP's wife stuck her nose in his professional life in a very unprofessional way, and did so out of jealousy. How is t ....

Comment preview: a few things: - actions speak louder than words, and if she really wanted to pursue things with you, she would not be so 'unavailable'. - move on to other girls, and stop being her lapdog in the workplace. you sound like you eat up everything she says, do ....

Comment preview: I think it's inevitable to reach this point. To me it's a sign that you've become very specific about what you like and want everything to be an investment, instead of just adopting whatever's trending. 95% of what's out there doesn't interest me, not beca ....

Comment preview: As a woman I've had to work more, produce more, and meet far more brutal deadlines and achievement metrics. I get the harder projects, the more challenging deadlines and I'm also often the person saving projects, but I have had to fight tooth and nail for ....

Comment preview: I agree. Morally, I don't see how you can continue to support a recommendation of his character (especially in a lawful/governmental capacity!). My partner just went through the process of becoming a permanent resident, complete with obtaining character r ....

Comment preview: I consider sexual harassment to be an *active* thing. You're doing something to or toward another person. Wearing clothing is *generally* a passive thing. While someone might find it offensive, its not *directed at* another person. That said, I can think o ....

Comment preview: While not the worst, 'Gamma' was pretty bad. A middle-aged whiter than white female coder who along with her husband had converted to Hinduism, changed their names to Indian names and went around being all pious and devout and put-upon, sort of pre-Rachel ....

Comment preview: A little late to the party, but I'll share a story: I worked at a company from 2012-2013 for about 15 months. I have recently started working there again. The employee roster has changed some since I was last there, so to some I'm the newbie and to other ....

Comment preview: I don't think straight people realize how often they constantly broadcast that they're straight. It doesn't even take a direct question for this whole thing to come up - "now I must awkwardly either present my homosexuality to this person directly or awkwa ....

Comment preview: Congratulations on your improvement! I went through a similar trajectory, though with better luck and more breaks than you got. It's impressive that you were able to break out of substance abuse with no social support. I think the fact that your improve ....

Comment preview: Letting them get away with it is benevolent sexism. Studies have shown that men who reject benevolent sexism are viewed as misogynist by women. Basically if you stand up for yourself it's going to cause a bit of a fuss, but maybe it's the right thing to do ....
