Strangest Workplace Complaints of All Time
NBC New York reported on a study in which managers were asked to name the strangest workplace complaints they’ve ever received.
If you’d like to avoid being a defendant in an emotional distress lawsuit filed by your fellow employees, I suggest you avoid the following complaint-triggering behaviors:
- Co-worker “eats all the good cookies”
- Co-worker “wants to check me for ticks”
- Co-worker is “magnetic and keeps de-activating my magnetic access card”
- Co-worker’s “aura is wrong”
- Co-worker reminds me “too much of Bambi”
- Co-worker “smells like road ramps”
- Co-worker is “so polite, it’s infuriating”
- Co-worker “breathes too loudly”
- Co-worker is “trying to poison me”
- Co-worker “spends too much time caring for stray cats around the building”
- Co-worker is “personally responsible for the federally mandated tax increase”
