Most of us working in the contemporary office environment have been close, or gone way off the deep end of the point where you feel like enough is enough. You take your hand cream from your desk, have one last drink with your beloved colleagues, and leave all that’s been bugging you behind.
And then you realize you’re out in the job hunt. But while screening through the open positions, you often see something like a “fast-paced environment,” which feels totally innocent, but according to Twitter user Sophia Benoit, means “toxic.”
Sophia’s tweet amassed 34K retweets and 332.9K likes and got more people sharing signs that warn that the workplace environment can be indeed very toxic. What we consider toxic is surely a subject of debate, but you have to keep your eyes and ears open when you are about to dive into an environment you’ll stay in for five days a week.

Welcome to the land of the weird and the beautiful the ancient sceptred isles, where people drink their beer by the pints, celebrate mysterious Bank Holidays that occur several times a year, and toss their trash out the first time they see a bin. Bins are holy there and the chance to do so comes very rarely, if ever.
But according to Jessica Rose, an American who’s been living in great Blighty for the past few decades, the list doesn’t end there.
Recently, Jessica listed all the “weird as hell things” Brits do in a thread that amassed 64.8K likes and went viral with people praising how spot-on it is. Let’s get ready for the quaint and quirky ride in the land of Britons.
