As adults, we dedicate a big chunk of our lives to our jobs, and a significant part of that time is spent with our coworkers. So it makes a world of difference when we genuinely enjoy the company of the people we share our desk (and office snacks) with. Especially when they go the extra mile to brighten everyone’s day with thoughtful gestures, like writing thank-you notes or even bringing homemade treats to the office.
If you’re one of those amazing people, know that your efforts are deeply appreciated. In fact, sometimes they resonate so strongly, they get shared all over the internet! Here at Bored Panda, we’ve gathered a collection of these wholesome moments where coworkers have gone above and beyond for each other. Find them below and upvote the ones that touched your heart!

#2 I Had To Say My Final Goodbye To My Kitty Earlier This Week And Took A Last-Minute Day Off During A Really Busy Time. I Was Worried My Coworkers Would Be Annoyed That I Was Out
But they just gave me this. Definitely broke my “no crying at work” rule.

#8 Yesterday The Owner Of My Company Noticed That My Shoes And Jeans Were Worn Out. Today He Took Me To Costco And Bought Me 2 New Pairs Of Shoes, 4 New Pairs Of Jeans, And Some Food
I started in December of 2020 after being laid off/unemployed for the vast majority of the year. I’m still trying to get back on my feet financially and make ends meet. It was such an unbelievably nice gesture. I cried and gave him a hug. I can’t wait until I’m able to pay it forward.

#9 My Coworkers All Came Together And Gave Me The Money To Finally Change My Name Legally For My Birthday
I am transgender and currently work full-time for Starbucks. I have savings but it’s never been enough to justify paying to get my name legally changed, but for my birthday this year my coworkers all came together and pooled money to give to me to get it changed! This is literally the nicest thing anyone has done for me and it certainly made me smile.

#23 A Fellow Coworker And I Burned A Checkerboard Into The Stump Of An Old Tree. We Played The First Game With Dandelion And Clover Flowers

#24 My Coworker Hand-Made Me A Screaming Goat For Christmas
We did Secret Santa at work. I put down “a screaming goat” thinking… One of those easy buttons, that would lighten the mood when things get crazy. Anyways, we exchanged gifts and my technician had hand-made me a screaming goat made of straw, complete with a screaming goat button (in its bag) and a poem. I don’t know what I did to deserve this magnificence and I am speechless!

#33 Birthday Haul From The Most Considerate Coworkers In The World
Been at a new job for 4 months and really didn’t expect anything, but I sure was wrong. Among many other perks, the owners set aside $175 and have the person’s coworkers pick out the gifts (on the clock, of course). A couple of months ago I mentioned how I love Kerrygold, but man it is expensive, so I got 2 lbs of it. Also, I was talking about how I love making pizza from scratch but needed a new peel and screen so they got that as well as a few lbs of specialty pizza flour. Lastly, I just built my first PC with the help of a coworker (so they knew all the specs), but I mentioned how I could use a little more RAM, so they got me another 2 sticks of the same kind. I guess this is what an awesome workplace is like!

#41 I’m The Only Geologist That My Coworker Knows, So He Came To My Office Yesterday All Happy And Eager To Talk About This Rock That He Found
During lunch hour, we spent a little time to look and talk about this rock. He’d found it on his parents’ grounds and thought “Hey, I know a geologist, I’m gonna bring this to work to show her”. When he told me he had the rock in his car I was ready to send him out to get it, he had the decency to wait until lunch.
