Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So if one messes things up, one is probably going to have to face the consequences, that is simply how the world works, although there aren't many people who actually live by those rules. Many people in this Reddit story had to face the consequences of their actions, and not all of them did such a great job. First, there was the terrible neighbor who started the whole drama simply by being a terrible neighbor, but also because he ordered a contra…

Many companies have unexplained issues with the concept of their employees working a second job. While it is understandable that a company would want to make sure that their employees won't also work for a competitor, when a company forbids an employee from working another job altogether, that is a major red flag. A place of work should not dictate what an employee does on their time off, no matter what. The employee in this Reddit story had to deal with a lot of red flags regarding their job.…

This worker sure has a lot of patience. Imagine if you were promised a huge, well-paying order by a client … only for them to never complete the order! That's exactly what happened to this person, u/Jamespg614, who works as a spare parts estimator. The employee shared their malicious compliance story that comes with a few words of caution. Just because your boss or a client asks you to do something illegal, that doesn't make that action legal. In situations like that, the only thing you can do…

It might be hard to come to terms with the concept, but there should be total and complete trust between a manager and their employees. If a manager is unable to trust that their employees are there to do the best they can, then maybe managing is not the best thing for them. Not to say there aren't any employees who take advantage of a job, but if an employee feels like they are not trusted and are being observed with every step they take, they are definitely not going to stay at that job for l…

Who knew you could win a legal battle with the jargon you learn in a college freshman's 101 class?

Any front desk employee can tell you that more often than not, some fishy things are happening behind that counter. Even the most prestige establishment can get entangled in some ugly business. With that being said, it can be worrisome to think about the fact that many of these establishments have repeated access to extremely personal information of their clients. Like the hotel in this Reddit story. A front desk clerk wrote to Reddit with the concern that her hotel was doing wrong by its guest…

Reading the fine print of any document is tedious. You're squinting to make out the tiny letters, the verbiage is convoluted, and you can't help but feel like you're about to sign your life away at any given clause.

There are a lot of things in life that are unethical, but not technically illegal. For example, passing gas in an elevator just before getting off at your floor is disgusting, but not actually a crime. Similarly, when people sing so loud at a concert they overpower the sound of the actual band playing (I'm looking at you, Swifties), that's not technically illegal either. However, there are a few instances where illegality and wrongful behavior come together...

"Don't cave. Assert dominance."

When you're desperate for work, sometimes accepting an under-the-table job is your only option. The cash is quick, the work is flexible, and now you can add a little extra padding to your wallet on the side; but occasionally you're stuck with an untrustworthy, shady dude as your new boss. An employer that's willing to bend the rules on legally paying their employees can't always be trusted to follow the ledgers when it comes to payday.

This man's wife got sued and his reasons for resenting her are beyond valid.

Laws and regulations: how do they work? After realizing you can't just ignore the law without consequences, this clueless Kevin is asking himself that question. Legal agreements are necessary in many aspects of business, even if they are annoying to deal with. But as a business owner, you have a ton of responsibilities both to your employees and to the upkeep of the establishment. You can ignore regulations and legal matters if you want, it's your prerogative, but don't be surprised when the co…

HOA's are a pain in the rear. The idea of an HOA is great– have a collection of live-in leaders get together once a month to improve the building and the property they live in– but nowadays they rarely operate like that. In fact, HOA's are so useless that they can't even do simple upkeep without first lining their pockets for profit. One man decided to take a stand against a crummy HOA board by taking the most epic petty revenge of all time.

One person wrote, “Please, ban telemarketing,” in this thread of irritating legal things people hope will be illegal soon.

Any manager who flouts the rules is bound to learn an expensive lesson. The relationship between a boss and employee is one that has to be carefully navigated. Even more so in the case of this person, whose boss was running a rather shady business , but still chose to be a jerk to his employees. The OP wrote about their nuclear level revenge they inflicted on their boss. During a snow storm, the employer made the crazy choice to have his employees shovel the parking lot, instead of hiring a tru…

It's surprising how colossal secrets are kept for so long within companies themselves, but more so when you think about how many employees have since left said company, and kept their mouths shut. Perhaps they signed an NDA, or they're afraid that they'll be sued regardless. Maybe they don't care, or they think others won't. Either way, it is of paramount importance for the world to find out about certain (bad) things, so that individuals can work together to put a stop to them. We all play an…
