If you comply with company rules, then you're all set and good to go, right? Well, not always. Sometimes your circumstances change, and what I mean by that is there can be a metamorphosis, a transformation, from old, to new, to ugly. In even simpler terms, new authority sucks. One person got a set of instructions, hot off the press, that didn't resemble the instructions they were used to in the past, and those instructions led to a whole lot of cash being extracted from company expenses. u/Impo…

On the one hand, you don't want to be a cog in a machine, on the 9-5 grind, wondering why you ever wanted to work in corporate, but on the other hand, you really don't want to work in healthcare, where the hours are long, the work demanding, the patients rude, low pay, poor benefits, and know-it-all bosses. These are some of the complaints I heard from my own friends who were going through a particularly grueling residency when first becoming doctors. According to them, they over-idealized the…

We have this ideal that we hold that professionals will help us with our issues in a non-judgmental and unbiased manner—when that's often never the case. The reality is that these people are people, too, and have their own biases, flaws, and personality quirks that, on some level, prevent them from giving us the same type of care we'd receive if they were a blank slate. This means that, depending on who you are, what issue you might have, and what healthcare professional you're seeing, you migh…

Lunch boxes with locks were created for a reason, and that is to keep lunches safe from potential thieves. When working at an office, employees often complain about other workers stealing their lunches. You don't always hear about their boss eating them, but in this case, that is precisely what happened. OP explained how he was working for an orthopedic surgeon who claimed he had 'no time' to get lunch; so the obvious solution was eating his employees' lunches. Duh, right? It seems like a bizar…

This worker has every right to be furious at their (now former) employer. As u/lbo1000 shared to r/TalesFromYourServer, the management at their job has been treating them unfairly, and with this newest humiliation, they knew it was time to find work elsewhere . As the OP writes, their place of business has an issue with last-minute callouts, but the OP claims they aren't part of that problem. Instead, over the past 6 months, the OP has never called out of work, and rarely shows up late. But the…

Sometimes your actions to prevent something can bring it into existence as if you're unknowingly fulfilling a prophecy of your own making. That's what happened to this boss, who attempted to keep their workers from taking sick days by demanding they get a doctor's note only to have the doctor recommend them to take more time off than they would have in the first place. This is a common experience we've all probably had ourselves or witnessed at some point in our working life. A lot of organizat…

It's always awkward to try and parent someone else's kid, but this woman thinks she did the right thing by asking her brother to make his kids behave . U/C_E_Ki wrote to the r/AmItheA***** subreddit with an important question regarding her family. She writes that she and her GF hosted her brother, his wife, and their two young kids , both under age 5. The OP writes that she was never crazy about the idea, as she and her brother never seem to get along that well when they hang out. But after the…

Critical care units at the hospital can be a bleak place, but one post-punk ICU nurse has one way to keep everyone smiling: his elaborate mohawk. Some people were just born to bring color into the world and Zach is no exception, expressing himself every day at work with the mega-fin on his head and colorful bursting designs. At the beginning of the pandemic, Zach struggled to find ways to keep his own kids at home entertained so to pass the time (and have some fun_, he shaved his head into a 6"…

We love family dysfunction, but this one has truly sparked some debate.

This woman really is a Christmas miracle.

Flemjeans?

He got baited by the master.

Always nice to see toxic management put in check.

Well played by the doctor.

Seems like a fair call out.

Absolutely not the typical stomachache.
