Coworker sends entire office into fabricated crisis looking for “missing” item she hid to teach one worker a lesson: ‘I honestly don’t know whether to be annoyed or just baffled’

I'm all for a good prank once in a while. You know what I'm not for? Doing more work than I'm already doing, Emma. Some of us are trying to survive this endless cycle of meetings, emails, and last-minute requests without losing our minds, but apparently, you decided our time would be better spent running around solving a mystery you created for your own amusement.

Imagine a manager so determined to prove a point that they deliberately manufacture chaos, sending multiple people scrambling to fix a problem that didn't even exist. That's Emma—corporate puppet master, part-time scavenger hunt organizer, and full-time headache. Instead of doing her job, she spent days watching her coworkers tear through records, panic over "missing" items, and slowly descend into frustration, all because teaching a "lesson" was somehow more important than actual work.

No one should take themselves too seriously. Life is hard enough as it is. You know what's also hard, Emma? Work is hard—so maybe try keeping your petty ego games to yourself next time, because the rest of us have enough to deal with without you treating the office like your personal playground.

Whatever lesson Emma thought she was teaching, the only takeaway the rest humanity got is that some people will invent problems just to feel important. Corporate life is already a mess, Emma—thanks for showing us your self-esteem is, too.
