That means even if employees aren’t entirely happy with their salary, workload, or career opportunities, the people around them can still make their days at the office worthwhile.
At the same time, however, unnecessary drama, lack of support, and just poor communication in general can overshadow all the positive aspects of the job and significantly reduce employee happiness.
So in an attempt to remind ourselves to stay aware of each other, let’s take a look at a recent online discussion. It started when Reddit user Puzzleheaded_Eye8358 asked everyone on the platform to share the craziest and most inappropriate things a colleague has said to them in the workplace.

“I came up with the idea to ask Reddit this question when I was speaking with my husband about my past work incident,” they told Bored Panda. “I wanted to see what others had to say about their own experiences.”

This is a stark reminder that despite advancements in creating a more inclusive professional culture, some issues continue to persist. In fact, recruitment company CareerWallet found in a recent survey that 24% of women experience inappropriate comments in the workplace (or remotely) from managers and colleagues — more than double the figure for men.

“We are all adults and professionals. Let’s act like that and treat each other with respect. We never know what people are going through, so work should be a safe space for everyone.”

When we’re deciding how to react, it’s important to remember that “we often focus on the risks of actions, our minds going directly to the worst-case scenario, rather than the downsides of not doing something,” Gallo said. “So take time to consider the risks of not speaking up as well.”
Perhaps not addressing the behavior would violate our personal values or the cultural norms we stand for. We might inadvertently condone the comment if we let it pass or miss an opportunity to help the person understand how their words impact others.
