As the holidays draw nearer, I'm sure all of us are wishing we could just skip ahead and take our vacation already. Unfortunately, the 9-5 life doesn't just take a backseat as soon as December hits, so most of us are still slogging away at our desks (though perhaps with some Christmassy music playing in the background).
However, the luckier ones amongst us have already ditched their offices and are off galavanting around the world in search of some winter sun or much-needed respite from the daily grind. And, while they're away, they almost certainly don't want to be bothered by us schmucks who are still tapping away at our laptops and taking constant phone calls.
One guy named Roy recently made this very clear in his 'Out of Office' reply, which a colleague of his screenshot and uploaded to Reddit in a since-deleted post.

The message began quite cheerily:
"Hi there!
"I know, I know. You got an immediate reply. And You were all like: “Ah! So he CAN answer mails!”
"But alas, dear writer. I am off to a sunny island with the two people I love most. No, not Luke Skywalker and Jimi Hendrix. My wife and my son!
"Nothing but a week of sun and quality time with my two favorite people."
But then, it took more of a philosophical turn.
"It’s the recipe to happiness," Roy said. "I highly recommend you try it. With your loved ones, I mean. You can’t have mine. That’d be freaky."

And then he riffed about the usual hassles of trying to contact people when they're on holiday...
"Anyway. I won’t be replying to you. Usually people write they have no access to mail or phone and we all know that’s a lie – they just don’t want to reply. I am however deleting outlook from my phone for the week and roaming is off, so I literally cannot be contacted until I am back, which will be Tuesday, December 11th."
... Before going straight back to his humorous philosophies:
"I look forward to replying to you then …unless I get eaten by a shark or something.
"If that does happen, then it’s OK. The shark would be eating a happy meal.
"I only ask you remember me as a kind man who loved vegetarian curries and death metal and whose autoreply made your day a little less ‘winter is coming’ and a bit more ‘island in the sun’.
"Have a great week!
"/roy"

Unfortunately for Roy, Tuesday, December 11th has now been and gone - which means he's back at work, slogging away like the rest of us and catching up on those 472 emails he missed in the few days he was gone.
But we can only hope that he had a lovely time on holiday, eating vegetarian curries and spending time with his two favourite people. Unless he did get eaten by a shark, of course. In which case, RIP Roy - you seemed like a great guy.
A boss has ignited fury amongst social media users after messaging an employee who was enjoying their vacation.

Some bosses are great, meanwhile, others could write a book on how to not interact with their employees.
While having a bad boss can cause a great gossip session, they can also really damage morale around the workplace.
And one time you don't want to hear from them is when you're using your paid time off... Yet some overstep the mark.
Like this example.
The controversy began when workplace expert Ben Askins shared an anonymous text exchange between a boss and an employee.
The boss initiated contact by stating: "Hey just a quick one, can you take a look at the presentation I just sent you, they need tidying up before the pitch tomorrow. Slides 73-78 in particular are the priority."
When the employee did not respond promptly, the boss followed up with: "Did you see this message?"

The employee, who was on vacation, responded: "I'm on holiday remember? We've just got off the plane and we're on our way to our Airbnb now."
Despite this, the boss persisted, emphasizing the urgency due to a rescheduled meeting: "I know, but this is important, but the meeting has been brought forward, and we need to sort this out."
The employee explained their inability to assist: "I haven't got my laptop with me, and we have plans this evening."
The boss's response was dismissive: "You don't have your laptop? Why on earth not? Can you find somewhere to jump online? It won't take long."
Maintaining their stance, the employee suggested delegating the task to another team member.
The boss countered: "It would take too long to get someone else up to speed. Please. I really need you to do this. We have to win this one!"
Emphasizing the importance of their pre-planned family time, the employee stated: "I booked this week off months ago and I'm with my family. I can't just abandon our plans to go looking for somewhere to work."
The boss retorted: "Right, good to know where your priorities are."
The employee concluded firmly: "Yes it is with my family."
Ben Askins praised the employee's response, highlighting the boss's behavior as unacceptable.
He remarked: "It is just so obviously incorrect."
Askins further criticized the lack of contingency planning: "If you've not arranged that, then that is your fault."
He emphasized the necessity for employees to disconnect during vacations to recharge effectively.
“As a boss you can’t just keep badgering people. I know it is tempting and easy with WhatsApp, but you’re just going to make people leave,” he explained.

He added that employees need time to disconnect in order to actually do good work.
“Terrible from start to finish,” he said.
And the internet agreed - hard.
One person wrote: "1st rule of vacation or any time off: Don't take your work phone; if work has your personal number block or ignore calls."
A second person said: "If the boss knows which slides needs tidying then he should just tidy them himself."
A third added: "These people are too soft! Not only would I not read the messages until I’m back at work, I would’ve blocked them the day I finished anyway."
An employee has taken to social media to reveal how they quit their job over text after being asked to come into work over Thanksgiving - despite their boss approving the vacation time.
The worker shared the heated text exchange with their boss on Reddit, where other social media users couldn't quite believe the lack of respect being shown to the former employee.
Sharing screenshots of the exchange to the discussion website under the username 'binthinkin77', the ex-employee captioned the post: "Finally decided I’d had enough of my P.O.S. boss on Monday, & damn did it feel good."
The start of the thread starts by their boss - named Mike - messaging the Redditor to say: "Hello, Sophie has just quit and we are already short-staffed.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it looks like I’ll need you to come in on Thanksgiving."
Credit: Reddit/binthinkin77
In response, the ex-employee stated firmly but calmly: "Unfortunately I will be out of two visiting family, as I told you in October. You approved it, and I am unable to change my plans, I'm sorry."
Clearly irked by this very reasonable reply, the boss responded saying: "I don't appreciate the tone. We had enough staff in October and what I said no longer applied. Again, I apologize but I'll need you here for Thanksgiving."
And not appreciating their boss going back on their word, the employee firmly replied: "That won’t be happening. Speak to me like that again and you’ll be really short-staffed."
"You're about to get yourself into some big trouble," the boss replied. "Cooperate or you may find yourself here on Christmas as well. Got it?"
Credit: Reddit/binthinkin77
This threat was clearly enough for the Redditor, who replied: "Yeah I'm not sure how I put up with your s**t for almost a year. I quit. Good luck finding someone though!"
The Reddit post has since received over 90,000 'upvotes' and more than 7,800 comments from fellow users.
One person commented: "Shows how much they [employers] believe we need them. This is why health insurance is tied to employment in America. They want control."
A second backed up the ex-employee, writing: "I thought the tone was fairly respectful considering they wanted you to come in on a previously agreed upon off day."
Sharing another story about the same boss, 'binthinking77' said: "What’s ironic is he has the worst 'tone' speaking to his employees out of any boss I’ve ever had. One time he literally emailed everyone that he was taking a week vacation during our busiest time of year the day before he left, because he 'needed a break from all of us'. It’s insane looking back now."
And responding to those commenters who believes the story was fake, the original poster replied: "It is 100% real. I know it’s easy for tons of internet skeptics to come on here and tell me my story is fake but I’m literally living this, and I have any and all the evidence that this is real."
Thank goodness this employee is now a former employee! Remember, your boss doesn't own you!
An employee found himself in a difficult position when his boss told him to cancel his vacation, and he offered the perfect response.
Vacation days are one of the simple pleasures in life - you work hard all year round and then get to ignore work for a little while, maybe even in a different country.
As a boss, a quick way to get into your employee's bad books is by agreeing to vacation requests and then taking them back at the last minute.
For any bosses out there... don't do that.

In this instance, the text exchange between the employee, identified as Noel, and his boss, Nick, has sparked outrage online after being shared by Michael Sanz, a business owner and outsourcing expert who often hears about workers' experiences with difficult bosses.
In the viral conversation posted on TikTok, Nick informed Noel that his scheduled time off for the following week had been canceled due to another staff member resigning. Nick claimed it would be "all hands on deck" while they searched for a replacement.
"We can push back a few months. I’ve advised HR it’s now changed for you. Appreciate your understanding," Nick wrote, seemingly without considering Noel's prior commitments.
Reacting to the exchange, Sanz commented in the video: "This guy sounds like a tool. He’s automatically canceling leave without any conversation."
Noel explained in his response that he couldn't cancel his leave as he had already made arrangements for his brother's wedding in Bali, with flights and family commitments booked seven months in advance.
Despite this, Nick audaciously suggested reducing Noel's leave from three weeks to three days, questioning what he could possibly do for three weeks in Bali.
Sanz criticized Nick's response, stating: "Not sure what you can do for three weeks in Bali haha," noting that the boss appeared to be treating the situation lightly.
Noel expressed his frustration, stating: "It’s a family trip, we haven’t been together in years and I haven’t had annual leave in 3 years. It’s also no one’s business how I spend my leave."
The final text from Nick, reiterating the cancellation of Noel's leave, was condemned by Sanz as "appalling," prompting Noel to decide he no longer wanted to work for the company.
In a bold move, Noel informed Nick that he would begin his leave "from today" and would reconsider whether the company, which failed to respect his boundaries, was where he wanted to work.

Sanz praised Noel's handling of the situation, emphasizing that workers should not have to justify taking their annual leave.
Following the incident, Noel reached out to Sanz to thank him and his followers for their support, revealing that he went ahead with his Bali trip and returned to find management distant. He subsequently found a new job with better pay.
A man has taken to social media to recall quitting his old job after his boss told him he couldn't have three weeks off for his honeymoon.
Sharing the incredible yet infuriating story to Reddit's 'Malicious Compliance' subreddit (dedicated to those who follow instructions despite knowing they will cause harm), user 'WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch' titled his post: "'Reconsider working here if I want to take a honeymoon? OK!'"
The Redditor explained that he used to work for a manager who seldom checked his emails and "spent a lot of time 'playing golf with clients'" - we all know the sort.
Well, a whole eight weeks prior to his wedding, the Redditor explains that he requested three weeks off for his honeymoon. He added: "EVERYONE knew I was getting married, [my] manager even congratulated me on the engagement when it happened.
"I had 5 weeks vacation accumulated and didn't think it would be a big deal," he writes, especially as he was letting his superior know weeks in advance.
However, he reveals that he received a "vacation request denied" email comes in from the company's "time off" system.
After receiving the email, he explains: "I emailed manager following up, left voice mails, and after a week he finally replied to an email."
That email read: "Look, we need dedicated people, if you think you can take 3 weeks off for a vacation, you need to reconsider your position here."
The Redditor explains that his manager said all this despite the request clearly stating that it was a vacation for his honeymoon.
Rightfully putting his future wife and his own life ahead of his job, the Redditor replied with: "No consideration needed, my last day will be . Let me know about transitioning duties."
Credit: Ngampol Thongsai / Alamy
Following this, HR set up an exit interview and told his manager to set up a transition of duties meeting for those on the team.
However, his manager never set up a transition plan, leaving the whole team in the dark.
One week after leaving the company, the Redditor explains how he received a call from his boss, in which he asked: "Are you planning on coming in this week?"
After explaining to his former boss that he no longer works for the company due to his vacation request being denied, his boss said: "How about giving proper notice and transitions?"
The former employee responded by telling the boss: "HR asked you to develop a transition plan and to attend my exit interview. It's not my fault you don't read all your emails."
After hanging up and blocking his ex-boss' phone number, the Redditor reveals that see sent an email to the HR department of the company asking: "Should I be worried thinks I still work for him?"
He then explains that, in the fallout, his old boss was fired from the company after higher-ups realized he hadn't been fulfilling his managerial duties and he'd actually be playing golf alone - not with clients.
For our heroic Redditor though, he revealed that he found a new job with a nice new pay bump - and was able to go on his honeymoon for the full three weeks.
This story clearly hit home with many other Reddit users, as it has received more than 29,000 upvotes in just two days, as well as over 600 comments.
As one commenter perfectly said: "Never give an ultimatum you're not prepared for the other party to take."
Ah, office life. It's one of the most monotonous existences on the planet. Within four walls, you and countless others are trapped in front of computer screens - the highlight of your day most likely being a trip to the communal kitchen to have a slice of Andy from IT's birthday cake. This often results in passive-aggressive notes. Whether they're telling off a colleague for failing to flush (yeah, that happened in my office) or simply threatening war if someone dares steal one of your all-important energy drinks from the refrigerator. So to celebrate them for what they are, which is often hilarious, here are 30 of the most passive-aggressive office notes the internet has to offer.
[post_page_title]The Date[/post_page_title]
Now, while it's often said that you should never sh*t where you eat, office romances and flings are all part of the course of large numbers of people spending a lot of time together. But not all office dates are necessarily romantic... No one wants to eat an out of date can of food. But this office worker took this note as an opportunity to reveal that they were "Forever in the friend zone." #TinyVolin

[post_page_title]Printer Problems[/post_page_title]
Life in an office can be soul-destroying at the best of times, so when a vital piece of equipment like a printer stops working, rage levels can be higher than normal. It's the worst kind of jamming. Hence this hilariously passive-aggressive note. Come on! Sing with me. "Don't worry... bout da ink... cuz everything you print... gonna turn out white." This gem was captioned: "Found this at work today."

[post_page_title]Sensitive Workers[/post_page_title]
In offices, people are often underpaid, and when they are offered pittances of pay rises, or see other workers getting promoted ahead of them, it can make them more sensitive than most to the little things. Clearly, these guys had decided that enough was enough, and whoever was subject to their rage posted this passive-aggressive note. It was captioned: "Walked past the It office door and noticed a new sign."

[post_page_title]The Trend[/post_page_title]
Anyone who has ever had their lunch eaten by a coworker knows how devastating it is, especially when it's the end of the month and money to buy a replacement is tight, which is why many office workers resort to labeling their food. But this practice doesn't necessarily go down well with everyone, hence this extremely passive-aggressive meme about Kevin the sandwich.

[post_page_title]Comic Sans[/post_page_title]
Now, I don't know about you, but when I learned how to use a computer in the early noughties, the font of choice for just about everyone was Comic Sans. But these days, it's mostly associated with primary schools, hence this note... "Please don't use Comic Sans - we are a Fortune 500 Company, not a Lemonade Stand." Well, like I said, in office environments, even the smallest of things can drive people crazy.

[post_page_title]Flush Gate[/post_page_title]
Shortly after I began my current job, a company-wide message was sent after someone dropped off a giant steaming turd in the ladies and didn't flush. The person who sent it told them to flush, and needless to say, not a single woman stood up. Yikes! Clearly, however, such a passive-aggressive message merited an even more passive-aggressive response in this office.

[post_page_title]DON'T TOUCH MY MUG[/post_page_title]
Aside from discovering an unwelcome and most likely smelly present in the office bathroom, another problem faced by workers is discovering that there are no mugs left in the kitchen, which is what resulted in this hilarious exchange. To be fair to this guy, he probably just wanted to guarantee his morning coffee, and I can't blame him for that.

[post_page_title]Making Your Own Fun[/post_page_title]
Because office life can be so monotonous, sometimes workers take just about any opportunity to make their days a little brighter. Like by leaving a paper trail for their coworker who was nowhere to be found... This hilarious series of notes was captioned: "Leave the office For 10 mins." It's a good thing that this person was only gone for 10 minutes because their coworkers seem needy AF.

[post_page_title]The Philosopher[/post_page_title]
Sometimes, when you're stuck in an office, you can't help but think about the bigger things. Will this be your life forever? Doomed to stare out into the windows of other offices and wondering if their occupants are just as miserable as you are? Well, it turns out that even if you reach depressing conclusions, it doesn't really matter, because as this printer note says, in the grand scheme of things, everything is temporary. This picture was captioned: "The office philosopher."

[post_page_title]The Pen[/post_page_title]
Whoever invented company-wide emails probably regrets it by now because sometimes, when a worker thinks "enough is enough", they can be a little too trigger happy and email dozens of people about the most innocuous things... like a missing pen. This picture was captioned: "An email went out around the office about a lost pen. This appeared in the break room the next day."

[post_page_title]The Dishes[/post_page_title]
It's only common courtesy that you clean up after yourself - even if your office has a cleaner. Personally, I think it's only right that the cleaner and the CEO are treated with the same amount of respect. So this is a passive-aggressive note that I completely stan. This picture, which hilariously frames reality, was captioned: "They just don't."

[post_page_title]This Is Glorious[/post_page_title]
It only stands to reason that the lower the maintenance costs of the office, the more money there will be for employees - even if it's for something as simple as allowing them an extra drink at the Christmas party, so I am in favor of this note. But I'm also in favor of the hilarious sticky note conversation which took place below it. This picture was captioned: "New rules for posting notices in the office."
[caption id="attachment_4045" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]DEBBIE[/post_page_title]
Sometimes when there is a notorious office theif, extreme action needs to be taken to stop them in their tracks. Like, for example, labeling every lunch to let Debbie know that none of them belong to her. This picture was captioned: "Apparently Debbie has a bit of bad reputation around the office refrigerator". No sh*t, Sherlock!

[post_page_title]Sarcasm[/post_page_title]
As we've learned by now, when you have to spend a sizable portion of the week in an environment you most likely don't like around people who you probably aren't a fan of either, you'll do anything to pass the time. Even if that means chuckling at your own sarcasm. Clearly, somebody couldn't help themselves. This picture was captioned: "Sacarsm at the office."

[post_page_title]Dave's Drinks[/post_page_title]
Clearly, offices are home to many fridge wars, and Dave came up with a hilariously innovative solution to let his colleagues know exactly which refreshments were his. This picture was captioned: "I Don't Know Why I Can't Stop Laughing At This." Let's just hope that there wasn't an intern in the office called Dave that day, or else there would have been Hell to pay.

[post_page_title]A Brazen Thief[/post_page_title]
Now, while I'm no thief (seriously, I once accidentally forgot to pay for a piece of bubblegum in the 90s and returned it to the store later that day), I imagine that one of the first rules would be, y'know, not getting caught. Although, admittedly, this person's makeshift replacement is pretty hilarious. This picture was sarcastically captioned: "I believe we have an office thief, damn."

[post_page_title]Mr. Cricket's Funeral[/post_page_title]
One of my standout memories from high school was when my history class bizarrely decided to hold a funeral for a bee that had terrorized us - a bee we fondly named Jimbob (posthumously), and it turns out this office held a similar ceremony... This hilarious scene was captioned: "Housekeeping at my friend's office missed a dead cricket. It has since snowballed into a full-on memorial."

[post_page_title]Don't spoil the milk[/post_page_title]
Until I worked in an office, I'd never experienced the disgusting horror of drinking expired milk. Imagine: you are tired, bleary-eyed, and after taking your first sip of coffee, you notice that something is up, only to discover what resembles cheese flakes floating around it. The horror! This amusing way of trying to solve this extremely infuriating problem was captioned: "Spoiled milk, spotted in my office."

[post_page_title]A Glorious Troll[/post_page_title]
While trolls are problematic most of the time, sometimes, they can be hilarious. Either because they are messing with known bad guys, or simply making a dull office environment more entertaining. Case in point... "I am alarmed." Yes, door. You are, indeed. Cute eyes by the way. This picture was captioned: "Possible troll in the office?"

[post_page_title]These post-it notes[/post_page_title]
If we've learned one thing from this list, it's this: the cardinal office sin is stealing a coworker's food, but despite this, it seems to be a problem the world over. This picture calling out multiple office fridge thefts was captioned: "The office fridge today." Now, if I worked here, I reckon I'd be asking HR to stage an intervention!

[post_page_title]This historical device[/post_page_title]
Technology has changed astronomically in recent years, making office life, for most, a lot easier, which is why this phone, complete with a wire which would make its usage tricky, was subject to a hilarious passive-aggressive note. This picture was captioned: "My office refuses to take down this non-operating antiquated piece of equipment, so I did the only logical thing."

[post_page_title]Jesus is watching you...[/post_page_title]
When there is a large number of drinks seemingly on offer in an office, the temptation can be overwhelming. After all, who will notice when one goes missing? Well, the answer is Jesus. The son of God will notice. "Jesus stood and sad in a loud voice, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink." Well, clearly he's not watching these office workers in the way they expected...

[post_page_title]Complaints[/post_page_title]
While everyone should be open to criticism, some people take it a lot worse than others. In fact, they're willing to threaten death by bombing at the mere prospect of professional critique. This picture was captioned: "The first thing I noticed about my dad's office." This is definitely enough to put any sane prospective employee off working here!

[post_page_title]Logic[/post_page_title]
Most offices have more than one lunch because people tend to take a break around the same time. Where I work, it's typically between 1 and 2pm. That's why it's a good shout to have more than one microwave - so people can eat! But not in this office, oh no. For some bizarre reason, despite having an electrical problem which prevents the use of more than one microwave at a time, they have two.

[post_page_title]The dishwasher isn't Brian[/post_page_title]
We've seen a lot of office theft on this list, but not so much when it comes to office laziness in the dishwashing department, so to emphasize that it too is an epidemic, here is another hilarious example in passive-aggressive note form. This picture was captioned: "Note About The Middle-Aged Man Named Brian." Yeah, Brian must have been pushed one dish too far to write this, that's all I'm saying.

[post_page_title]This fiend[/post_page_title]
And last, but most certainly not least, is this absolutely vile creator who decided to cut an office cake in the most awkward way possible just to annoy their coworkers. All I'm saying is that they better have had a good reason! This picture was captioned: "Walked Into The Office Kitchen To Find This." Okay, yes, you can do what you want in an office, but as this list proves, it will not be without consequence.
