Having a terrible day at work can be frustrating, overwhelming, and even demoralizing. Whether it's a challenging project, an annoying colleague, or just a series of misfortunes, sadly, there are plenty of reasons you might feel like you're a failure.

But as Sigrid and Bring Me The Horizon sang, "It's just a bad day / Not a bad life." And one of the ways to recover is by venting online. So we at Bored Panda decided to remind ourselves that the universe hasn't conspired against any of us. From time to time, everyone runs into some (undeserved) adversity.

Continue scrolling to see all the messed-up nonsense people have had to deal with on the job! And when you're done, see more fails previously posted here.

I've lost my faith in humanity. What we do defines us and this is what we do. We are not stewards of the land or caretakers. We are a blight. We are just vultures picking at the carcass of a dying world.

I Work As A Valet And Make $3.85/Hour And I Received This As A Tip

I Work As A Valet And Make $3.85/Hour And I Received This As A Tip

AyeBenji Report

Getting dealt a bad hand at work isn't the end of the world. Especially for content employees. According to Annie McKee, Ph.D., who is a best-selling business book author and advisor to top global leaders, from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to government officials, those who are engaged with their jobs and colleagues work harder — and smarter. But that's quite rare.

"Far too many couldn’t care less about what’s happening around them," McKee wrote in Harvard Business Review. "For them, Wednesday is 'hump day' and they’re just working to get to Friday. And then there’s the other end of the bell curve — that nearly one out of five employees is actively disengaged. These people are sabotaging projects, backstabbing colleagues, and generally wreaking havoc in their workplaces."

Got Fired For “Telling The Boss How To Do His Job” When All I Did Was Say “We Can’t Obstruct A Fire Escape”

Got Fired For “Telling The Boss How To Do His Job” When All I Did Was Say “We Can’t Obstruct A Fire Escape”

Sudden_Chard8860 Report

"Disengaged, unhappy people aren’t any fun to work with, don’t add much value, and impact our organizations (and our economy) in profoundly negative ways," McKee explained.

"It’s even worse when leaders are disengaged because they infect others with their attitude. Their emotions and mindset impact others’ moods and performance tremendously. After all, how we feel is linked to what and how we think. In other words, thought influences emotion, and emotion influences thinking."

McKee thinks it’s time to finally blow up the myth that feelings don’t matter at work.

"Science is on our side: there are clear neurological links between feelings, thoughts, and actions. When we are in the grip of strong negative emotions, it’s like having blinders on," she said. "We focus mostly — sometimes only — on the source of the pain. We don’t process information as well, think creatively, or make good decisions. Frustration, anger, and stress cause an important part of us to shut down —the thinking, engaged part. Disengagement is a natural neurological and psychological response to pervasive negative emotions."

However, it’s not just negative emotions we need to watch out for. "Extremely strong positive emotions have the same effect," McKee said.

"Some studies show that too much happiness can make you less creative and prone to engage in riskier behaviors (think about how we act like fools when we fall in love!). On the work front: I’ve seen groups of people worked up into a frenzy at sales conferences and corporate pep rallies. Little learning or innovation comes out of these meetings. Throw in a lot of alcohol and you’ve got a whole host of other problems."

So it sounds like having your suspenders stuck in your chair every once in a while can be actually quite beneficial.

Actually, depends on the place and reason for being fired. I worked for several years in a bank's processing center. There was one guy who was stealing money from the bank (normally if a deposit slip total was off by $10 one way or the other we just used a bank over/short slip, but he was using altered slips that placed the difference into his personal account). When he was caught, he wasn't even allowed back into the building past the security checkpoint, and the supervisor and HR rep packed his stuff.

When I got let go from my last job for a total b******t reason, my office manager had already packed up all my personal belongings and handed them to me during our meeting with HR. Worst part is my co-worker texted me earlier that day and asked if I was alright and she told me what the office manager was doing. Needless to say, I was VERY upset in that HR meeting....

Had this happen last year. I put in my 2 weeks notice, which I actually let them know 6 weeks in advance that I was leaving. That gave them plenty of time to hire and let me train someone new. About 2 weeks after I gave them the notice I clocked out on Friday afternoon and everything was normal. When I got to work the following Monday, my personal items were no where to be found. When I confronted them turns out they were locked in his wife's car. I lost my s**t and quit on the spot. That was not the first time she had gone through our personal items. Needless to say, they cannot keep employees. Since I left, they have gone through 12 people for my position. I just laugh now.

It is common in the tech industry, in order to minimize risk to code, data or IP. That said, our company always had security accompany the person so they could pack up their own things, two or more weeks ((depending on seniority) paid as well as all accumulated vacation. We then organized a nice little party or send off, unless the person was fired because of unprofessional behaviour.

I'd need more context to this to "judge". Yes, some employers are just a******s and do s**t like that, especially in the US. But also some employees are not really angles and do things, or behave in a way, that makes it necessary to immediately terminate their employment and not let them in to pack their stuff.

Any civilized country has labour laws that make it illegal to terminate employment (unless criminal or deliberately harming company) without either advance notice or equivalent in pay. Usually time and amount based on seniority.

Over 2,000 Pounds Of Fresh Pork Being Rejected By The Walmart Distribution Center Because The Sell By Dates Occur When Their Stores Are Closed For Thanksgiving

This product will still be safe to eat for the next 15 days but they won't even attempt to sell it. This will end up in a dumpster today.

OTTER__VOMIT Report

Since nobody can prepare for the unexpected (just the way they can react to it), it isn't surprising that workers worry about other things.

"One could argue that today's employees are as equally stressed as their predecessors, but for different reasons," said Jodi Chavez, president of Atlanta-based Randstad Professionals, a segment of Randstad US, which provides finance, accounting, HR, sales, marketing, legal staffing and recruitment services. "They fear having their jobs outsourced to another country, have anxiety about how best to work alongside new technologies such as automation and robotics, have increased financial pressures with rising student loan debt and late retirement, and feel pressure to be 'on' and answering e-mails 24/7."

In difficult times, you need to find an internal reserve of energy and hope to help you make your way through. In other words, you need to tap into your resilience.

"Like so many other human traits, resilience can be woven into the fabric of one’s being (nature) and/or it can be learned (nurture)," career and business coach Marjie Terry said.

"One’s natural disposition may lead them to always look on the bright side or to look for the silver lining. For others, with an accumulation of life experience, they develop a resilience perspective and realize that, as the old saying goes, what doesn’t break you makes you stronger. They develop an ability to recognize that it’s important to keep going even when life hands you challenge after challenge—they develop perspective."

Sometimes, there really isn't much else we can do but endure. And laugh!

I honestly saw the picture and thought it was the last day of school (where some schools let the kids throw all of their papers as a celebration) before I saw the caption. How does this happen on the first day though?

We had a cork board at work where employees could leave “compliments”/happy note cards about their fellow co-workers. Terrible idea for morale. There are employees who choose not to socialize, or cannot due to anxiety, shyness, or introverted nature, and it hurts them as other employees may see them as unfriendly when they aren’t. The people who don’t socialize/act friendly will never get compliment cards (or Valentines etc) and that sucks. IMO a stupid and unfair system as not everyone is the same levels of energy, friendliness, socialization, etc.

What was the boss supposed to say? Couldn’t the employee just find out how much it would cost to replace the plant at that approximate size? Was there some emotional attachment because it grew from a mango they ate? I don’t understand the problem here.

Has anybody noticed that the majority of people being drug tested tend to be factory workers? None of the upper class people are subject to this. Congress, who passed this legislation, is exempt, also people like judges, CEOs, etc. I got in trouble with my company after being sent for a drug test after injuring my finger. When I got back, I told HR "I'll put my p**s up against management's any day." I got away with that because I was in a good union.

If I had clocked out, then it's on the manager. Unless he wanted me to clock back in and unless he was providing my transportation home. That was on him

Ffs, just buy a pint of ice cream, rather than telling everyone just how much you, "love coffee".

I once worked in a call center where the head of the department would often provide a special lunch for us. We could also eat at our desks. One time when they bought pizza and wings, my manager, who had desk behind me, sat down with his food...and immediately spilled it all over his keyboard. I felt so bad for him, but I was glad it wasn't me!

I'm surprised the bike was still there with the way this bike is locked. It wouldn't take more than a few seconds to take that wheel off.
