In my review, my manager marked me down for not doing the thing. I reminded her that I had wanted to do the thing but that she barred me from doing it. Her answer was that that in retrospect it would have been right to do the thing and I was at fault for not doing it anyway.

Got caught with another girl at work weighing our heads on the office postal franking machine to see how much it would cost to airmail them to the US. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A man I worked with screamed & threw his pen across the office because I’d sent him five emails in one day, which he said was too many, & then came to give me a lecture on email etiquette & flooding people’s inboxes (all of my emails were replies to emails he’d sent me that day)

I got told off for eating a banana. I wasn’t eating it inappropriately, it was just inappropriate that I was eating a banana around a male colleague… 🙄

I called a snr civil servant friend of mine “mate” in the office before giving him a lift home. His immediate subordinate threatened me with a written warning for disrespect (my friend thought it was hilarious and called me Mate loudly in every meeting with that person forever)

In a video shop 20 or so years ago, I turned off Gladiator and put on a different film. The Assistant Manager gave out to me because Gladiator was the only film he wanted shown in the shop. When it ended he put it on again. Every day.

I couldn’t unlock the office door with the key my manager gave me. I then got lectured about wasting her time – all whilst she tried to unlock the door with the same key… and it didn’t work🙃
