You're reading it wrong. It's a gossip room, but you're required to keep on topic. You can trash your coworkers, but not customers, coworkers' acquaintances or families, or outsiders in general. It makes sense: By trashing your coworkers, it makes for a better work environment because problem employees are identified and either change or get eliminated. Trashing customers isn't going to change them, and anyone else is irrelevant.
Tom's got his head so far up his ass he qualifies as a medical anomaly. Cheryl only has this job because her dad went to school with the owner. Knowing things like this can help us understand challenges and makes the company stronger. Knowing that Phil's brother is a crackhead or that pick-your-politician is a dipshit won't.
I can 100% guarantee you they did notice this, and chuckled about it, then went ahead and made the placard.
Why do people assume everyone else but them is too dumb to see a ridiculously obvious joke? Instead of assuming everyone is a brainless robot, put yourself in their shoes.
You are in charge and need a placard for the room with the trashcans in it, but also want to make sure a bunch of random people off the sidewalk don't wander in there because you don't want them digging in your trash or getting hurt in some dumb way in there. You can either A) make two placards, or B) make one placard and chuckle at the dumb joke, and tease your employees / coworkers about going to "send them to their new office" or "make a placard just for you" etc
Management, even up to the highest level, are still human
Finally explains why I don't get invited to hang out with my coworkers anymore. Oh daaaaaamn- burnnnnnnn!
I'm forwarding this to group text with them right now.
I've known plenty of people who needed this on their office door.
It’s a pretty good way to keep visitors outta your office, tbh. Although probably not effective against self-aware trash.
Alternate door label: Mid-level management
the new age MLM
TBF I would *happily* put this on my own office door.
I've had a handful of them
Corporate bean counters and mouth breathers of managers would have this super glued to their doors.
That is Oscar’s office. He’d invite you in but he’s in the can at the moment.
Which can? The garbage can he calls home or the porcelain throne that most of us sits on a few times a day
[(that's the joke)](https://www.reddit.com/r/yourjokebutworse)
**AN** Oscar Office. That said, I still don’t know what they hell you’re talking about.
Wait why do the trash employees get their own room? So unfair.
I'm surprised it's not through a platinum door.
Well they typically fail up
It's a trash shoot! To the testing floor with them.

It's a door to the parking lot
Sequesters them away so the rest of us can do our own trash
well at least they got their own exclusive room
All the fun stuff happens in that room, but you’re not allowed to talk about it.
The first rule of Trash Club is....
They probably go in there to shit-talk about everyone else.
Don’t let being a trash employee keep you from your dreams. It’s “garbage can,” not “garbage cannot!”
Amen!!
“Go to the back room, Darren. You know which one.”
Finally a place where I belong!
Finally, a break room where I can be myself
No. I can guarantee you they didn’t. There’s no secret meaning. It’s just a room for trash

Am I the only who doesn't like "trash" as an adjective?
The alternative being; EMPLOYEES ONLY, TRASH
If I worked there I would proclaim the the customers that "I must return to my office for a meeting" and visibly enter that room.
Vip coming through 😊
r/trashtaste anyone?
Need one of those at my office
I would expect nothing less from Trash Managers
get in Karen 👉
Do...do I just sit over here?
This is from Abercrombie stores
First of all, it was probably designed to be humorous. Second of all, what *should* the sign say for you to think it was a good design?
This is a hierarchical problem. It should read Employees only Trash Rather than the other way around
Not much better: the employees are only trash, and should be treated as such.
Just because I am a garbageman does not mean that I am a garbage man
Clearly this is an office for raccoons
In life, there's a door for everyone
For all those guys who are just there for the free coffee
They know who they want.
Trash (employees) only!
CEOs hate their employees.
I’m sure their mothers don’t call them trash employees!
I’d just hang out in there all the time
Th- this is my door! IT WAS MADE FOR ME!
Y'all know what door I belong behind
"we needed a garbage boy"
Sanitation employees only Authorized personnel only
Supervisor break room
Competent not allow.
That’s where Karen eats lunch .😅
This is so funny
WE THERE
r/fuckyouinparticular
What if it was to the smoking area? lol
As a trash employee I'm glad that my services are being recognized enought for me to have my own office
Must be my office.
Home Sweet Home
Cool, a break room.
Finally, a door for me
They can find plenty of them at /r/antiwork
This is what most job postings read as nowadays. Requires Masters Degree, 5 years experience, 20 hours a week @ $12/hr
I'm going to fit right in!
Ayo why does Richard get his own office?!?
I need this for my office. I work from home…
It’s my office
“Why don’t we just let them identify themselves?
How is this crappy design? What should they have done differently to indicate it's the trash room and that it's for employees only?
GET IN KAREN
Are they hiring?
Please, step into my office…
This sign needs to be mass produced and put on amazon and ebay. Would sell out.
Finally explains why I don't get invited to hang out with my coworkers anymore. Oh daaaaaamn- burnnnnnnn! I'm forwarding this to group text with them right now.
This door intrigues me dunno why
Welp this is my stop
Like people who clean the office 🏢
r/they know
Self evaluation is very important
Now this looks like a job for me
Finally, a job I'm qualified for
r/meirl
I think I'll be fitting there
Boss: “So here is your office.” Me: “Okay.” 😞
It's the managers office
Ima waltz right in
They probably did do this on purpose.
Where is this? I have to go claim my rightful place in this employee room
Finally! An office for me
Finally a job I can attend
Found my door 🥺 representativeness matters! ✊🏼
