Work is an inseparable part of our lives, whether we like it or not. And sometimes it is difficult to handle all situations happening in our workspace.

In most companies, there are areas for everybody’s use. One of them is a fridge in which all employees keep their food (and not only). But sometimes that food disappears. And it can be hard to find the thief. For this reason, it is worth to sign your things or keep them hidden so that nobody can reach them. And this applies also to other personal items which shouldn’t be available for your colleges.

However, it may happen that someone steals your ideas or projects. In order not to throw yourself off balance, always add your name to the things you work on and don’t be afraid to say that something belongs to you.

People have the tendency to leave their things behind. This includes trash, dirty dishes but also papers, documents, or personal items related strictly to work. The best way to deal with this type of people is to leave a funny note (or a “real meme” as on the photo above) to make people alert to their bad habits. By that, you will make a funny joke on someone and at the same time make him or her aware of his or her mistakes.

When There Is Something To Be Fixed

Both remote and stationary workers know the problem of broken equipment or problems with apps or software which need to be fixed. Sometimes it can be difficult to request a repair from people responsible for it. They either have no time or are too lazy to fix the problem, which may seem insignificant to them. The best way to keep sanity at work in such situations is to make a humorous note, post a funny photo or picture on social media which will motivate staff to work.
