Man’s Lunch Habit Makes Coworker Uncomfortable

A man’s simple lunch habit has caused quite a stir in the workplace. Packing notes of affirmation from his wife in his lunch, coworkers have teased him but it wasn’t until a new employee, Jimmy, joined the group that things got complicated. Jimmy lost his wife a few months ago and seeing the man receive notes from his wife hit a nerve that reminded him of his late wife. Another coworker suggested that the man ask his wife to stop putting notes in his lunch, but he refused. The resulting argument has caused tension in the workplace, and the man’s friends are urging him to be more empathetic towards Jimmy. Find out how this situation unfolds.
