A friendly office step challenge seemed like a great way to encourage movement, boost morale, and even earn a half-day off work.
But like any workplace competition, things got competitive fast.
A few employees were pushing their limits, tracking impressive step counts, and engaging in some lighthearted rivalry.

Naturally, this raised a few eyebrows.
Not everyone was on board with that interpretation, and when a coworker questioned the fairness of it, things got personal fast.
One employee (u/GalaxyGarlic) reported the dubious walker to the higher-ups but is now wondering if they went too far for a silly contest.
So they went to the AITA page on Reddit to ask what the internet thinks of the situation.
