16 People Who Couldn’t Have Had a Worse Day at Work

Having a bad day at work is nothing rare, and it seems that almost 30% of employees have one of these at least once a week. But bad days don’t just happen when your mood is low and you feel like you don’t want to be there. They can also arise on days that start off great but get ruined after something unexpected happens. For example, you could be expecting lots of tips, only to receive pennies.

Bright Side wants to remind you that bad things happen to everyone every once in a while at work, so don’t feel like you’re the only one with bad luck.
