There’s nothing like a little work drama to keep things exciting.
A workplace breakroom should be exactly that — a place where colleagues can congregate for a meal or to make coffee to decompress for a few minutes.
However, one frustrated worker was at his wits’ end with the company breakroom’s microwaves constantly breaking that he not only purchased his own appliance to bring into work — but he also put a lock on it. And maybe for a good reason.
After making this decision, his moral conscience might have been making him toss and turn at night because this employee took to the r/AITA forum on Reddit to ask fellow users if he was in the wrong or not.
The original poster shared that he’s a shuttle driver and there are often 20 of them in the break room having lunch at the same time. Putting a communal microwave through that much work means the inevitable is bound to happen — the appliance breaks.
“They broke the new one in a day and we’re not allowed to use the one in the Dispatch office anymore and won’t get us a new one until it breaks,” the OP wrote in his post.
“So right now there’s only one microwave for all the drivers so I brought in my own. Before bringing my own, I asked a bunch of people if they’re willing to split a microwave and they said no because they don’t wanna spend the money for a second microwave.”
And the fed-up employee took things a bit further by putting a lock on the newly bought microwave.
He explained that the reason he went to this extreme was because he didn’t want the new appliance to break down by overuse — especially since no one wanted to throw money towards a new one.
Many commenters sided with this worker, although they pointed out that this isn’t the way he’s going to score brownie points with his co-workers.
“NTA technically, but this might not be the hill to die on as your coworkers are going to think you’re an ass.”
“NTA you just have broke lazy coworkers. That’s it.”
“NTA they are going to be mad but you offered for them to chip in and no one agreed. I’m sure they are gonna be salty but it is what it is.”
And while some workers are arguing over microwave drama — others are annoyed with all of the pointless meetings they have on their calendar.
After finishing an unhelpful meeting, an article published in the Harvard Business Review revealed that staffers can experience “meeting hangovers.”
“A meeting hangover is the idea that when we have a bad meeting, we just don’t leave it at the door. It sticks with us and it negatively affects our productivity,” Steven Rogelberg, a professor at UNC Charlotte and author of “The Surprising Science of Meetings,” explained to CBS News.
