Employee of the year goes to…

That kid is going to resent her aunt for the rest of her life after this.

High school can be the best times of your life if you have the right friend group. But as we all know, teenagers can be fickle with their friendships. Sometimes a group of friends who have been close for years can all turn on one member of the group to kick them out, which is quite painful for the person stuck on the outside. However, this r/pettyrevenge poster is still stuck in his high school days, even five years later. He's thinking of their high school friend, who ended up having a lot of…

Every so often, we come across a satisfying story about a boss getting what he deserved! Sometimes, you have to be willing to walk away in order to truly make your point known. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by an employee who shared that after messing up over a year ago on the job, his boss was still threatening to fire him constantly. It got so bad that the Redditor went ahead and applied to a much better company. When he got the position, he first felt gui…

When someone has done you wrong, the best thing to do is to walk the other way with your head still held high… but it's certainly more satisfying to scorch the earth behind you as you go. When faced with the bullying behavior of their Karen boss, this IT guy realized he had enough and quit, seeking greener pastures—but, he also decided to (metaphorically) set fire to the building on the way out the door, scheduling a mass company-wide email to be sent from his boss's email address that exposed…

People have a habit of deflecting their own problems onto other people. If you own a business and don't schedule or hire enough people for a holiday weekend, that's probably your own fault—and your own problem to resolve. Still, it's pretty common for business owners and managers to turn around and blame workers for not being available at the last minute when they already have plans. This worker shared their experience on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, sharing screenshots of an exchange that oc…

A pair of travelers are certainly not going to be friends anymore after this disastrous ending to their trip . Some posts on r/AmItheA**hole require a lot of nuance, but in this story shared by u/Spare-Possibility750, commenters nearly unanimously said the OP was a huge jerk. These two women, the OP and her friend Emma, traveled to California to see the sights and snap a bunch of photos. The OP writes that they were staying with one of Emma's friends, and it seems that Emma or her friends coord…

Relationships with landlords are often rocky, unstable, and riddled with undertones of ego, making it difficult to solve issues when they inevitably arise. In this case, OP was living in a large old Victorian house that was converted into about 4-5 individual apartments. The issue that arose was an exhaust pipe that was melting away thanks to the landlord's incompetence when he was installing the HVAC system. The landlord hadn't called a professional, opting instead to do it all by himself. Whe…

One of the worst parts about working in the service industry or retail is “blackout” dates—where no one is able to take days off—these always line up with precisely the days you'd want to take off. Holidays, long weekends, and anytime between Christmas and New Years—pretty much any time you might want to see family or friends (who are all off work.) These have all been deemed as days where all hands are needed on deck due to high volumes of trade. But the worst part about blackout dates?.. Hypo…

This must be a particularly messy office.

Call centers often demand employees hit a certain number of calls per day, even when that isn't the actual goal of the company. In this case, OP was working at a call center for a collection agency, whose main target was to collect debts, generating revenue for the company. OP was doing really well, but sometimes they missed the daily target, and managers would dwell on their call count, instead of taking a look at the numbers OP was generating for the company. OP found out that the company was…

There's drama going down at the Wawa air pumps (and if you live in New Jersey, it's just another day). This driver shared their story of their run-in with an utterly infuriating woman who felt entitled to skip waiting in line . U/turtlesh0es wrote to r/pettyrevenge with an excellent tale from the air pumps at a store nearby. They went to fill up their tires — although the OP had an air compressor, they didn't want to wait for the slow machine, and chose to go to the gas station instead. While a…

At this point, "you up?" is more desirable than half of these!

We've all had that dream where we're wandering around school, trying to find a classroom . In the dream, maybe you're in your old middle school or your college campus , carrying your backpack. As you wander the halls, they all look the same and they stretch for miles. Maybe you enter a room, but it's not the right one! In this nightmare scenario, you're late for a test and cannot possibly find it. Then, you wake up in a cold sweat, thankful to know it's just a dream. Well, not this person! I gu…

We have all had to deal with having to deal with a roommate's significant other.

When you give notice to your job, it's usually done to let your workplace know that you intend not to show up anymore—like that's the whole point. You're not saying, “Oh, yeah, feel free to keep me on the roster when it's convenient for you.” You're saying, “I'm leaving now, and I intend never to return. Good riddance to the lot of you.” Like ending any relationship, there's a chance that either party may not cope so well with the sudden change. Still, when it's your ego-maniac boss having a de…
