Some people come to work not to make friends but simply to get the job done. A few employees even went as far as placing shady notes on the backs of their chairs, warning colleagues not to bother them.

The TikTok account of a financial services provider called Access Bank (@myaccessbankplc) uploaded a video on the social media platform showing how some of its employees were reading their colleagues' minds.

While sitting at their desks, each employee had a shady note attached to their chairs. Here is what the notes said:
