Woman leaks co-workers wild text messages: sounds like harassment

A text exchange between two co-workers has gone viral, revealing how few boundaries some people have when it comes to work.It used to be that when you finished work, you left the building and you were done for the day and, unless someone wanted to call your landline, you weren’t contactable.These days people can call, facetime, text or even slide into your direct messages on social media, making maintaining boundaries increasingly difficult.Aussie employees recently won the right to ignore work messages and calls outside of working hours, within reason and depending on their role and expectations.However, it is still blurry about what is acceptable or unacceptable from a co-worker, and a woman’s text exchange has proven that.Kait, 25, a retail worker from the United States, posted a series of screenshots on X revealing the bizarre messages her co-worker had been sending her.“I made the mistake of loaning a co-worker money and now it has been non-stop asking for money, rides and food.No one in management will do anything about it,” she said.The text exchange started with the co-worker asking to borrow $7 and Kait sending her the money.Then, the requests kept coming.“Could you loan me $10 or $15, and I’ll pay you back Monday and the $7,” one message reads.When Kait replied, “I only have $3 to my name right now,” the co-worker didn’t relent and proposed a new deal.“Could I have the $3 I sent back to you on the Saturday?
