Share some workplace horror stories.

One horror story is about a construction site where safety protocols were constantly ignored. A worker was walking on an unguarded high - rise floor and slipped. There was no safety net below, and he fell several stories, resulting in life - threatening injuries. It was a tragic consequence of the lack of proper safety measures.

In a corporate workplace, there was a corner cubicle that was always cold. Employees who sat there would feel a presence. A new girl started working there. She began to have nightmares of a pale woman standing over her desk while she worked. One day, she found scratches on her paperwork that looked like they were made by long fingernails. She quickly requested a transfer to another desk.

I once worked in an office where my boss was a bully. He would shout at me in front of everyone for the tiniest mistakes. For example, if I misspelled a word in an email, he would make a huge scene. He also used to give me tasks that were way beyond my job description just to make my life difficult. It was a nightmare. I left that job as soon as I could find another opportunity.

One horror story I heard was about the overloading of work. A USPS employee had to sort thousands of mails in a very short time. There was no proper break, and the pressure was so high that the person was constantly on the verge of a breakdown. Just piles and piles of mails everywhere, and the management seemed to only care about getting the work done quickly rather than the well - being of the employees.

In a workplace I knew, there was a case of bullying. A worker was constantly harassed by his supervisor. The supervisor gave him impossible tasks and then publicly shamed him when he couldn't complete them. This led to the worker having severe anxiety and his performance deteriorated rapidly. It was a really sad situation as he was a hard - working person initially.

In a large corporate workplace, there was a legend of a lady in white. She was said to have died in the building many years ago. Employees sometimes saw her walking in the long corridors late at night. One employee was working late and heard a soft sobbing. He followed the sound and saw a white figure at the end of the hall. He ran out of the building immediately and never worked late alone again.

A great workplace mentoring success story involved Alex and his mentor Sarah. Alex was struggling with his leadership skills. Sarah took him under her wing and provided him with regular feedback, leadership training, and opportunities to lead small projects. Over time, Alex grew into a confident leader. He led a major project that increased the company's market share by 10%. His success was attributed to Sarah's mentorship and the trust she had in him.

A common one is sexual harassment. I heard a story where a female employee was constantly sent lewd texts by a male coworker. She was so scared and uncomfortable but didn't know what to do at first. Another is racial harassment. A friend of mine was made fun of because of his skin color, with coworkers using offensive slurs. Verbal abuse from a supervisor is also common. One person I know was constantly called 'useless' and 'worthless' by their boss, which really affected their self - esteem.

There are stories of unfair labor practices. For example, some employees are made to work on holidays without proper compensation. They are given very little notice and if they refuse, they are threatened with disciplinary action. This creates a very hostile work environment.

One story is about a construction worker. He was working on a high - rise building. While walking on a narrow beam without proper safety harnesses, he slipped and fell several floors. Luckily, he landed on a large pile of sand that had been delivered for the foundation work, which saved his life but he still had multiple fractures.
