Work Messages We Wish We Could Say

Things We Wish We Could Say at Work (But Don't)

You know the feeling.

You’ve just received yet another passive-aggressive email. Your boss has asked for one more last-minute revision. A coworker just took credit for your idea. Your fingers fly across the keyboard, typing out exactly how you really feel—only to pause, take a deep breath, and hit backspace.

Instead, you carefully rewrite the message. It’s professional, polished, and completely devoid of the fire that fueled your first draft. The truth? It never gets sent.

But what if it could?

Unsent Out Loud: The Place for What You Didn’t Say

At Unsent Out Loud, we give those messages a home. The ones we rewrite. The ones we delete. The ones we only send to our best friend with the caption "Can you believe this?"

Work is tough. Sometimes, the only thing that gets us through the day is knowing we’re not alone in our frustration. That’s why we created a space for you to share the words you never sent—whether they were too honest, too direct, or just too much for office life.

How to Share Your Unsent Work Messages

1. Gather Your Words

Whether it’s a photo of a letter, a typed draft of a social media post, or even a screenshot of something you wish you could share, start by organizing your thoughts. Reflect on what your message means to you and why you feel it needs to be shared.

2. Visit the Submission Page

Go to unsentoutloud.com and click on the Let’s Chat icon to attach your unsent message. You can choose to share anonymously or include your name—it’s entirely up to you.

3. Add Context (Optional)

Provide a brief background for your message. What inspired it? Why were you hesitant to share it? Context can make your story even more relatable and impactful.

4. Hit Send (Ironically!)

Once you’ve completed your submission, click send and let your words find their voice. By sharing, you’re contributing to a community of people who understand the power of unsent words.

Because Some Messages Deserve to Be Heard

At the end of the day, work is complicated. It’s a balancing act of professionalism, patience, and biting your tongue. But here, in this space, you don’t have to hold back.

So go ahead—share that unsent message. Someone out there has probably written the same one.
