Good bosses know how to manage their staff. Great bosses, however, know that they should lead by example, inspire their team, and cultivate a healthy workplace culture. Oh, and they know to swiftly shut down office drama instead of adding fuel to the fire.
Some work nonsense continues to haunt you for years to come. And it can be therapeutic to spill the tea. A bunch of emotionally weary employees opened up online about the pettiest, most toxic, weirdest drama that they ever experienced at work. It’s frustrating beyond belief to know that someone had to go through all of that nonsense.

Not really a drama, I picked up work from a colleague. Phoned him to get the back story. 5 minutes after the call, an email was sent to all staff from his boss saying not to call this colleague as he was busy. Never spoke to him again by phone/email/face2face. Petty I know but I loved it.

Had someone try to passively call me out in a 50 person teams chat without saying my name. Me being the person that I am messaged back in the same group and said if she was going to talk about me to the group not to be afraid to use my name. Went off after that..

For every colleagues birthday we would all put £2 in to get them a small cake and card signed by the team. I was off for two weeks over my birthday and so didn’t get a card or cake. When I next got asked for £2 a few weeks after I returned to work I refused and then got a cake and card the next day - it was the most awkward happy birthday song and candle blow out.

I ate a biscuit out of a pack that was on sale for 20p for workers in staff room 10 minutes before I brought it and was treated like a shop lifter.
