Indoor_mom's joke about Slack notifications and grizzly bear attacks.

If Your Out Of Office Reply Has More Personality Than You Do At Work, These 118 Posts Are For You

Working in an office can be a genuinely dreadful experience. Working from home has its own problems too, don’t get me wrong, but at least the fridge is entirely yours, and nobody’s waiting outside the bathroom door.

In an office, you’re sharing a kitchen with people who microwave fish, sharing a bathroom with people who take personal calls in the stall next to you, and sharing an entire day with someone who somehow schedules a meeting for the exact moment you sit down with lunch.

It just piles up. Enough small annoyances stacked together and suddenly you’re fantasizing about quitting over something as small as a stapler.

These work posts are funny because every single one of them is painfully true.
