Humanity has been trying to come to terms with the unique existential despair and cultural idiosyncrasies of working in an office for about as long as offices have existed. One of the latest and greatest coping mechanisms is this chaotic Facebook group where roughly 200,000 people pretend to be colleagues in a completely dysfunctional office.

Much of what goes on in this group is hilarious, but it’ll be especially appreciated by anyone who’s a fan of The Office or who loves to commiserate about office life in general. Scroll on and see if you recognize your office life in any of these absurd situations!

I have never understood this. Don’t fight each other, team up and beat the s**t out of HIM. He was cheating on both of you. Sisters need to stick together, not tear each other apart. Don’t you understand the concept of divide and conquer? Because that’s what men who tomcat around town do. They live seeing women fight each other over them. Don’t give them the satisfaction, gather together and give them the boot up their asses.

I knew it going in, then forgot it was a joke because it seemed so real. I sadly know people like that.

    The group itself seems to be quite an orderly place, the chaos that it fosters notwithstanding. The rules include demands that members stay in character (as oblivious office workers) and stay on topic when they post. It’s easy to understand why these rules are important, as the group has nearly 200,000 members and gets thousands of posts a month.

    More interesting is why the group exists in the first place. More than just a roleplay exercise, it seems like a place where people cope in some way with the frustrations of their office lives. What is it about office life that has made so many people dread it and create works of film, art and literature to address it?

    A survey by Monster.com reported that 26% of the workers they surveyed about office life would rather get a painful root canal than work in their office. Workers resent commute and parking costs as well as the time they spend.

    Everybody knows that the best fish fryers are beer-drinking Catholic men on the Fridays of Lent.

    The problem isn’t just a modern one - the movie Office Space was made in 1999 and the American version of The Office wrapped up in 2013. But the lockdowns of recent years have had their own special impact on our perceptions of office life. Many people have realized that their work can remain unchanged or even improve when they do it from home. That same Monster survey indicated that 38% of the workers surveyed claimed they would consider leaving their job if it mandated working from the office even a single day per week.

    Wives will be notified, but husbands will not. Got it.

    Working for home has shown some workers that offices can reduce the quality of their work. Large offices can be distracting, they can lack privacy, and can introduce a potentially unwanted social dimension to work. Meanwhile, we can enjoy all of our preferential comforters at home.

    The first company I worked at after my apprenticeship* did a yearly 3 day trip for all employees + partners and children. All inclusive with hotel stay, breakfast, lunch and dinner and cool entertainment. The first year we were at an outdoor theatre, the second year was a castle ruin reserved just for us with a renaissance fair and medieval tournaments and my last year there it was a kind of indoor playground with a really cool… what‘s it called? Like „flying“ islands under the roof where you could jump/ climb from one to the other and such things. We call it „climbing garden“. I loved that company. *an apprenticeship in Germany is 3 years of learning a trade in a dual system where you work at your company for 3 days a week and go to school the other two days. You get paid for it and have all the usual „benefits“ (eg health insurance, 30 days paid vacation etc)

    I walked into our small overheated unventilated staffroom today and a woman was eating very smelly fish. I am allergic (not serious anaphylactic style allergy, but a lot of fish make me sick) I vomited in the sink. I was embarrassed and apologetic and cleaned it up. She complained about me using cleaning products while she was having her lunch. Actually put in complaint about me! Luckily she didn't know who I was and some woman in black trousers was a bad description.

    Dear Declan, I hope this email finds you well. I would like to emphasize that the Department of Labor strictly forbids employers from prohibiting discussion of salary and benefits among colleagues. Abiding by federal law in these matters is crucial to ensuring your freedom from hefty fines and a possible prison sentence. Thank you for your attention.

    I am a janitor and even my salary is better than that. I get a case of Diet Pepsi and a small bag of M&Ms every month!

    Why is Maelynn paying more attention to Brandon's toilet habits than her own job? That's the real question.
