New Study Finds Employee Morale Drastically Improves After Watching Coworker Throw Fit
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN—According to a study published Wednesday in the Journal Of Management, the morale of an entire workplace typically improves dramatically following any instance in which employees witness one of their coworkers absolutely losing it and throwing a fit right there in the office. “It turns out that whenever someone at a place of business gets fed up to the point of raising their voice or begins vigorously and loudly typing on their keyboard as they have a tantrum at their desk, everyone else who works there starts to feel a little bit better,” said industrial psychologist Glenn Hardt, explaining that the study measured self-reported levels of happiness among employees immediately before and after a coworker sighed heavily, slammed his or her laptop closed, and stormed out of a meeting. “There may be a few stunned looks at first, but this behavior is soon followed by a flurry of eye contact, half-suppressed smiles, and then sustained, measurable improvements in mood among those still present.” The study went on to state that workplace morale plummets to its lowest point when a fellow employee is promoted.
Just happened here. Yup, I’m having a much better day!

There is some truth in this. I once got a colleague (an idiot) so mad and me that he challenged me to fight him in the parking lot! This was in from of our company founder and president. That certainly made my day!

Did you call him a Zionist prick?
Admin, I have a talent for pissing off idiots that is unsurpassed (except perhaps by you). I don’t have to call anyone names. I taunt them with the truth. It works every time 🙂

I think I will walk down the hall and lose my shit right now, for the good of the organization of course!
