One former employee was bitter towards their old job, and rightfully so. You know when you're putting in a lot of overtime, basically pouring your heart and soul into a job, only to be rewarded with minimum wage? Who am I kidding, of course you do. Everyone has worked at a toxic company at one point or another in their lives. And unfortunately, not many of us get the chance to get back at them after we move on to better things. This employee, on the other hand, got their chance. When they had w…

Getting fired is not a fun experience, that is a no-brainer. Nobody likes getting fired, and nobody wants it. Most of the time, it comes out of nowhere, but sometimes you actually see it coming. Whether by listening to a hushed conversation between your supervisors or when you see a suspicious-looking meeting was added to your calendar. I always wanted to be one of those employees who dare to teach the boss a lesson when they decide to fire you. Some kind of way to say “You are going to be sorr…

If you've ever sold something online, you know that the customers aren't ideal. They text you, 'Is this available?', only to ghost you when you answer in the affirmative. Or they promise to pick it up, set up a date and a time, and then never show up. Or they actually show up with half the money and give you a sob story on why you should give them the item for free. Yes, I'm speaking from experience. One man decided to sell an old laptop he had back from his University days, posting it online,…

One boss shared what she probably thought was an encouraging tale of… making her employees work all day on Christmas Eve . I know what you're thinking: what could possibly be positive about making your employees work the whole day just before a major holiday? Many people depend on that day to travel to their family's houses, hop on a flight, or just need time to wrap up some last-minute gifts. And I know, I know, the employees are getting paid to work a full day… but it's just a nicety that wou…

Oh to be a fly on the wall when this IT director had to face her bosses… This excellent story of malicious compliance was shared by u/Barcs2k12. They write that when they were working in the IT department of a state agency, they encountered a Karen boss who was so sure she was smarter than the IT team .

Contract work is for people with thick skin — just ask this person, who had to fight to get paid for their work .

U/No_Concept_9848 told this workplace story to r/MaliciousCompliance. As they wrote, they took on a job creating a brand new website for a client and her husband. They ran a frozen yogurt business and were looking to hav…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes: at this wedding, there's no going back from the groom's big mistake. Told from the photographer's point of view, this wedding sounds like a nightmare from the moment it began. The OP, u/Icy-Reserve6995, posted a three part story . She writes that although she works as a dog photographer, she offered to photograph her friend's wedding for super cheap. She showed up before the ceremony to shoot for hours, working from 11AM until 7:30PM. However, these were no…
