Share some office politics horror stories.
One horror story is when a colleague spread false rumors about another to get a promotion. The victim was constantly being undermined and was even accused of things they didn't do. Eventually, they left the company, while the rumor - spreader got the position unjustly.
A coworker once stole someone else's idea and presented it as their own in a big meeting. The real owner of the idea was too shy to speak up immediately. By the time they tried to clarify, most of the higher - ups had already decided to give credit and rewards to the thief. This made the honest coworker feel very demotivated and betrayed, and it also showed how cut - throat office politics can be.

One office horror story is about the never - ending meetings. People would be stuck in a conference room for hours on end, with no real progress made. Everyone was just talking in circles, and it felt like a time - wasting nightmare.

In an office I knew, there was a strange noise that came from the old storage room at night. Some employees claimed to see shadowy figures. It turned out that there was an old ventilation system making the noise, but the fear it caused was real for a while. People were scared to stay late or go near that area. It affected the overall mood in the office as everyone was on edge.

There was this time when a major project was due, and the office's computer system crashed. All the work that was not saved was lost. People were panicking as they had to redo so much work in a very short time. It was a nightmare especially for those who had put in countless hours already. To make matters worse, the IT department took forever to get the system back up and running.

In an office, there was a rumor of a 'ghost' in the supply closet. One day, a new employee heard the rumors and decided to check it out. When he opened the door, a whole bunch of old papers and files fell on him. It turned out that the closet was over - stuffed and the door was not properly closed. So every time someone walked by and made a little vibration, things would shift and it sounded like there was something spooky going on inside.

One Filipino office horror story I've heard is about a late - night worker. He was always the last one to leave the office.

Share some office hookup horror stories.
There was a situation where an office hookup led to a major conflict during a project. The two people involved had an argument that spilled over into the whole team. They couldn't work together effectively, and it caused delays. It was really bad because the rest of the team had to pick up the slack while they sorted out their personal issues. Plus, it made the office a very tense place to be. Everyone was walking on eggshells around them.

Can you share some funny office horror stories?
Sure. One time, there was a co - worker who was terrified of mice. One day, a little mouse scurried across the office floor. He jumped on his chair and started screaming like crazy. His face was so pale, and he refused to come down until someone caught the mouse and showed it was gone. It was hilarious to see him so frightened in the office.
