If you're not paying rent, you forfeit your right to an opinion.

When the CEO of this IT company demanded changes to his email system, he totally miscalculated the consequences.

You may like your job, even be wildly good at it — but if your boss is constantly barking at you, adopting a flippant attitude and rude demeanor, then it doesn't matter. Simply put, this story is about an employee who had had enough of his horrible boss. He had been working at a construction company for a while, and his division was running a %44 profit margin which netted $750,000.00 USD a year. Within six months he'd already paid back the build-out, training, machines, equipment, etc… in othe…

There's nothing like money and inheritance to drive a wedge between family members.

I'm all for adaptive experiences for people with disabilities… but when your only disability is that you're an absolute moron, it's kind of hard to accommodate you. Enter: This guy. The guy who didn't know that he'd need to know how to swim in order to partake in a snorkeling tour. The most hilarious part of this entire thing is that he specifically addresses the fact that he was annoyed the guide wouldn't “aid” him—what did he think the guide was going to do? Operate his arms and legs for him?…

Micromanagers are suffocating bosses who don't trust you to get the job done and certainly don't trust you to get it done right . This one in particular, ‘Sally’, was working in a company that was known for its nepotism. The upper-tier management was made up of family members and close friends. The woman who posted the story about micromanagement that led to malicious compliance shared the tale on Reddit — where she gained a lot of sound advice actually. See, this micromanager ordered the emplo…

This principal should have known better than to test the patience of this school teacher! Public school teachers already have so much on their plates, but this teacher's situation sounds especially grim. As u/Middle_Pound_822 shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, their school is currently plagued by an “overwhelming sewage smell.” It's so bad that lots of the teachers have moved their classrooms into the hallway . That resulted in the ire of the school supervisor , who responded with a petty email (…

Not everyone is blessed with thoughtful, or at least kind , neighbors. Some of us have to deal with the tyrannical sort, the people who make life difficult when it really doesn't have to be. One guy took to Reddit, sharing his infuriating experience with an entitled neighbor of his. See, he was coming home from a late shift one night, and there was no parking available because of an event in the neighborhood. Tired, frustrated, and exhausted from work, he decided to park in front of his neighbo…

Toxic workplaces love “fake” promotional roles—used to saddle workers with more responsibility and workload with a little-to-no increase in pay. They serve as an effective method for What stands out here is the impossible situation of being stuck in a terrible employment arrangement and being unable to find an exit route. People forget how much energy it takes to look for other work. When positions are limited in your sector, you can find yourself working what is essentially another full-time j…

It's pretty simple at this point: if you can't live up to your own expectations, then you're less likely to fill the position.

Getting promoted usually involves some kind of a raise, but in this case, it did not. A woman took to Reddit, shaming her ex-boss, who gave her extra responsibilities, which included working longer hours — for a $2 pay cut. Does it make sense? Of course not. But companies are greedy, what else is new…At the time, the employee didn't question it, because she needed the money. So even though she would technically receive less, she would still be working longer hours, therefore resulting in a bigg…

Divorce, unfortunately, is almost never final… whether ongoing custody battles, financial disputes, or fending off repeated slights from a crazy ex—it's going to haunt you. That being said, there are those who have come to the end of their romantic relationship who somehow manage to make things work and still be friends. Surprising, I know, but it gives me hope that some people do have the capability to be decent and rational. Well, this guy, Redditor u/Nerd_Law, is continuing to be haunted by…

Each and every one of us has a memory (or memories) from our childhood that we hold dear, a nostalgic high-water mark of the happiest moments of our lives. We could drive ourselves mad trying to attain this same sense of blissful wonderment—and indeed, some have. This girlfriend seems to be one of those people, choosing to forgo all rational thought and social decency to chase and ride the high of her youth. Who doesn't love dipping their finger in a baking work-in-progress? Reckless abandon pr…

Does Monster's Inc. really have “too many monsters,” or is this person just writing a hilarious 1-star review?

We've all worked with that coworker who completely overestimates their competency, contribution, and capabilities. Whether or not they're blissfully and utterly unaware of their uselessness is never clear, but their work (or lack thereof) makes it plain to everyone else exactly how things are. Still, this person won't hesitate to tell you how to do your job as if it's their job to do so while doing seemingly everything possible to avoid doing any work of their own. I've experienced almost the e…

This weekend broke me. No, literally. I’m as broke as it gets.
