The modern workplace is a peculiar thing. If you went on LinkedIn, you would see "adaptable" "tech-driven" "ninjas" "thinking outside the box" about how to "move the needle" after a "strategic hibernation period." But if you opened the doors to a random small business, you would probably notice a lot less "synergy" and a lot more groaning. To get an accurate picture of it, we checked X (formerly Twitter), looking for posts people shared about their jobs. Here's what we found!

You need to relax when you come home. Get a soothing sounds app and try some rain or ocean sound. Sit and just listen with headphones or earbuds. It will help tremendously. You can fall asleep to it as well. Works better than you think. I do it at lunch as well, just sit in my car and chill.

My 4 year old: "So, mommy, I have to go to school, sleep, go to school, sleep, go to school... WHAT??" I felt sad for him that he caught on so early in life.

Had one job where we worked in pairs and fairly isolated. Saw several instances where someone hired their bud to be the assistant and after the first trip out could barely stand the sight of each other.

Humans are emotional creatures. I've seen grown men and women sob at work. Happens.

Seen. Felt. My boss apologises for giving me work after 5 on a Friday. My official hours are until 6... he also knows I shut down email at 5.30 because anything arriving then is not urgent.

I have a strategy for that. 'anonymous' surveys on a controversial topic get my scores, and then if there is an open remark section, I put in something outrageous, sometimes even insulting towards management. let them come at me and snitch on themselves. No result yet...

For decades people have been wishing for a job that will just pay them for being them.

I actually did most of this once. OK, it was only about 5 years, but it was mountains, in the south of France. I made beer for a living. Sweet times 😁

My boss furious about a trojan on my computer that he put there while I was in Egypt. Once I proved that to him, he avoided me for the rest of the day. Win.

I think that people should not have to explain the gaps. It doesn't matter what I was doing, it's not relevant to this application.

Well you're getting kicked off his health insurance. Better come up with something, missy.

I, 51f, make a point of kissing my plushy giraffe goodbye in the morning. He just looks smug while I sigh and reluctantly leave... (I'm more sane than this sounds, I promise, not sure when kissing Groot goodbye became part of my morning ritual).

when I started working in 1991 the HR department was 1 person for a company of 400 people. Now it has 19 staff for 450 people

Where my mother worked, they first gave you the salary schedule to read before they would give you the application. They saved a lot of paper that way.

That's nothing. I once did a whole shift before realising I hadn't been rostered that day just thought I was.

That was literally how I felt and looked this morning after my shower sitting back on my bed. Bloated from late night snacks and some coke (cola) when getting up, and wondering W*F to wear...

I teach. The answer to the question, what are you doing over Spring Break: I have to finish my grading and post grades, catch up on email, go to various doctors appointments, get the car's oil changed, work on whatever house projects we never have time for - I need a break from my break at the end of the week!

Trying to get a better offer so I can use it to blackmail my current employer for a raise. True story...

We have a major project with an upcoming deadline so you’ll have to come in over the weekend.

And you’re in I.T. So part of your day is crawling under desks to see which cables the person disconnected with their feet, all the while complaining how unreliable the network is.

My last boss was younger than I was and acted like a son to me. A son-of-a-b***h, to be specific.

I miss some of the people. But they've invited me to their team Christmas lunch. Would it be a faux pas if I wore my pink diamante tiara that says "retired"?

I like the system of Capitalism. I can fish in a pond I don't own and didn't pay for. Use someone else's fishing pole and tackle. Keep a third of all the fish I caught and come back tomorrow to do it again.

Except you can't if they don't let you and they own the pond so you have to starve if they don't let you, and your position in that is up to who your parents are.
