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.

Walmart Wants Me To Pay Them For My Comfort
I live in the south where it's going to be 90°-100° for the next two weeks (at least) and I work in a non-air conditioned warehouse. They want ME to pay a billion dollar company to be able to wear shorts. Only on weekends too because, ya know, it can't get hot Monday through Thursday. Absolutely ridiculous.
If You Can Scroll You Can Roll
Hope You Guys Can Relish This Note

“Time Theft”
The managerial mindset. Why not ask why someone would do such a thing, instead of putting up signs all around the bathroom? All the managers here are [jerks] who rarely respect my 30 minute break time, let alone be kind or empathetic. If I’ve learned anything working in food service or any job, it’s that unhappy workers are unproductive workers.

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.
