What screams "unprofessional" in the workplace?


  1. Yelling. I had a boss years ago who thought it was appropriate to close his office door and yell at employees. He was shocked when HR paid him a visit and explained this was not acceptable behavior.

  2. Taking a dump in a co-worker's trash can. This actually happened at my wife's office. Several times. Yes, the person was fired when management found out who it was.

  3. Unsolicited political opinions

  4. Not proofreading emails to clients and vendors. It's downright fucking embarrassing. Below is an example of an email my office manager sent to a vendor that I was copied on: >PLEASE REMOVE DANIELLE SMITH FROM YOUR LIST. SHE NOT LONGER WORK FOR PSC. >PLEASE SEND ALL CORRESPONSE REGARDIG PRODUCT TO DefinitelyAChick Note: Names have been changed

  5. Lack of communication. Especially when its a small company.

  6. NON-STOP FUCKIN' TALKING WHEN YOU WERE HIRED TO DO A THING THAT ISN'T NON-STOP FUCKIN' TALKING! I'm looking at you, Markus.

  7. I know a lot of people meet their future spouses in the workplace, so I'm not necessarily against workplace dating, but I am against people who continually fish off the company pier. I work in a company support department and my female, mid-30s colleague is dating our 24 year old student admin assistant. They get into weekly fights to the point that she's actually tried to communicate orders to him through me, because they "aren't talking." When they're on a break, she'll start a flirtation with a man outside our department, only to ghost him a week later, expecting me to deal with them if they call for support. I've told her I was done with being put in the middle of her nonsense, so now she ignores me and I'm thankfully left out of the drama. My boss won't do anything about it and I already have plans to leave next year.

  10. Replying to patients' negative google reviews with a long, patronizing rant in which you publicly release so much personal, insurance-related information that it may potentially be a HIPAA violation. Hello, former employer. Glad I left after 5 days.
