25 Funny Stories About Office Suck-Ups
Everyone wants to look good in front of their manager, but some coworkers take it so far that their ass-kissing is practically an Olympic sport.
After finishing up a task with their coworker at an off-site location, one Redditor was ready to head home at 4:30 p.m. — just 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. But their coworker refused to let that time go to waste, and insisted on calling their manager to ask permission for them to take off early. That decision spectacularly backfired. “You called and bothered me to ask this?” the manager replied to the late-afternoon phone call. “JUST GO HOME.”
Other Redditors have shared egregious examples of coworkers trying to suck up to their superior, with the cringiest stories including foot massages, free lunches and obnoxious fake laughter.
