Some people love their jobs. Others will be sitting at their desk today . . . visualizing the day they finally quit. And if you're in that second group, do you have your eye on anything in the office you'll take with you?
A woman is going viral for saying that when she finally left her toxic job . . . she stole her OFFICE CHAIR. She just wheeled it out when she left, and jammed it into her car . . . and nobody said anything.
She justified it like this: "In my mind, I figured that I had been sitting there . . . taking years of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse . . . so I'm going to take my chair and [eff] off."
But she didn't actually get away with it. She said she got an email the next week telling her that she needed to bring the chair back. So she did . . . and she called that experience "really embarrassing." (Warning: There's UNCENSORED profanity in her video.)
After the video went viral, she asked her followers what things they took on their way out . . . and it sounds like a lot of people got away with stuff, although most of them were a little less obvious than an office chair.
Here are some of the best responses . . .
1. Someone who worked at a kitchen company took two Japanese knives.
2. Someone suggested not waiting until you actually quit. Quote, "The key is to take just a little . . . every week."
3. Someone took an overhead projector for their theater room.
4. Someone said they worked at a museum, and before they left they printed themselves an annual pass with an extended expiration . . . entitling them to free entry and 25% off at the gift shop. (I guess they REALLY like museums.)
5. Someone said they took some tools. Someone else took a calculator.
6. Someone who worked at a coffee shop says they took "the heavy metal chalkboard that they had to write quotes on."
7. Someone joked that they got away with . . . their self-esteem.
8. Someone said they took "two other employees," which may be the most impactful "theft."
