We spend a big chunk of our work day communicating with each other. Meetings, emails, phone calls, presentations... All this writing and talking generally keeps things running smoothly, but sometimes it takes just one message to turn everything upside down.
Charging your phone is considered a theft of electricity. If you take too long in the bathroom, a manager will conduct a "smell test" to check for a number 2. Employees must stop crying before returning to work. These are just some of the delusional and unhinged signs workplaces have had the audacity to put up.
People have been sharing the wildest signs and notes they've come across on the job. From the passive aggressive, to the rude, and the downright hilarious, Bored Panda has put together a list of the best for you to scroll through instead of reading yet another lengthy work email.

#37 My Boss Leaves "Love Notes" For Us Every Time Someone Makes A Mistake

My Boss Leaves "Love Notes" For Us Every Time Someone Makes A Mistake
It's just so petty to take the time to write a note for everyone to see instead of just addressing it with the person who made the mistake. I've only been working here a couple months and this is how many notes she's written so far.
