‘That is a complete violation of my privacy’: Boss spies on employee on sick leave to make sure he is actually sick and not on vacation

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…

‘This is a major violation’: Hotel might face $70 million fine after employee discovers they keep guests' credit cards in system after they leave

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…

'Unleash your inner lawsuit': Man gets promptly fired after telling management that his girlfriend is pregnant, capturing the entire lawsuit-worthy Zoom call on video

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...

justice coworkers workers work worker employee revenge boss payback manager illegal under-the-table cash paycheck payday business reddit prison

'Sometimes justice works': Under-the-table employee gets payback when his boss shorts him 60% of his paycheck for ‘bad behavior', accidentally uncovering a whole slew of illegal business practices that send the boss to prison

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.

Update: 'He’s started a GoFundMe that... would help [with] payroll': Hair salon forced to close after manager ignores legally binding agreement

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…

'A literal fistfight almost broke out': Man puts a $31 lien on his HOA president's $20 million dollar mansion as petty revenge, preventing him from selling it until his 'debt' is paid

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.

‘The Greedy Pigs are Stealing, and the Worst Part Is It’s Legal’ : Former Employees Reveal Shady Company Fails and Secrets

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…
