Every workplace has some kind of group chat, and you'd assume managers would check the members before spreading information about someone getting fired beforehand, but alas, in this case, they did not. OP found out that he was going to be fired in 3 weeks after his boss forgot that he was actually included in the group chat. OP was working as a driver for the company and had been accused of breaking something that according to him, was already breaking since he had started working. The reason t…

A stoppable force meets an immovable object—the makings of any classic story—like Batman, only not quite . Well, in this case, you end up with a broken baseball bat and a couple of angry idiots who have met their match with an indestructible hunk of metal. Redditor u/AQuietBorderline posted this story to r/ProRevenge about a group of college engineering students tasked with creating a mailbox that was virtually indestructible. This is exactly the kind of thing that needs to happen when a couple…

This person is trying to share their amazing vacation plans , but their family is acting utterly bizarre about it. Vacationing is a real privilege. Lots of people never travel further than a few states away due to financial constraints or workplaces not giving much vacation time. So if you do get the chance to travel — and travel by plane to a pricey amusement park , in this case — you'd be crazy to turn down the opportunity! In the story they told to r/AmItheA**hole, u/Safe_Ad_6111 has some in…

Work culture is changing, slowly. However, the boom mentality of putting work above anything else in your live is still somehow clinging on to some companies. OP has been working at this job as a a personal care attendant supervisor for about a month now but has come to a the frightening realization that this job is 24/7. When he interviewed for the job he was told that it was not 24/7, however you will be expected to be on call at least once a week. OP has worked these kinds of jobs before and…

Just like Daenerys Targaryen “kind of” forgetting about the iron fleet… these bosses forgot that this guy was included in their group chat, using it as a means for discussing firing the worker in three weeks' time, once they were caught up with the delivery workload.

Every so often, you come across a landlord tale that actually turns out alright for the tenant in the end. This update was posted to Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit by u/Upbeat-Poem-1284 , who shared that after putting in several requests for almost a year and after several attempts at completing those repairs went wrong (see the original poster for details), the Redditor and their roommate decided to stop paying rent. According to OP, it is within the tenant's rights in their city to withhol…

"Would you be so kind…"

Nothing beats the satisfaction of watching a reckless driver get caught at the same red light as everybody else

Ooooh baby, if you're in need of a satisfying petty revenge story, then you have come to the right place! There is nothing like a little DIY karma to really get the blood pumping. The OP here took down a Facebook group troll and man, was it *chef's kiss*! The Facebook group that OP is talking about is not mentioned, but she says that there is a man in the group claiming to be a professional “religious educator,” however all he does in the group is spread hate. The woman, having actually gone to…

Serotonin for the Monday blues

For those of us who love some zest and spice, it’s always difficult eating at that relative or friend’s place who refuses to add even a grain of salt or dust of pepper to their meals. These people have clearly never used their tastebuds before, and it shows. Still, it’s worth acknowledging that this is a rather pretentious thing to think; you should always just be grateful that someone cares enough to cook you a meal at all. Cooking is an investment of time, and—unlike some ingredients—time doe…

We've all likely been on both ends of an “I Don't Work Here Lady” story. Look, everyone makes mistakes but not everyone has to make these assumptions. Some of these stories range from assumptions made as a result of a customer being a good samaritan, a customer's attire being strangely similar to that of a store's employees, and an entitled Karen's main character syndrome. Keep scrolling below for this fresh collection of “I Don't Work Here Lady” stories. For more, here are some top petty stori…

Working in food service changes your view of the profession forever. Most people only experience restaurants as a guest. You sit down, have a lovely meal brought to you by a waiter or waitress , and don't have to lift a finger as you dine. But once you tie on that apron and work as a server, you're on the other side of the experience. You have multiple tables of people who need you to take their order, deliver their food, and cater to their every whim. It's nonstop! And it basically turns into…

The concept of monitoring an employee's bathroom breaks is perhaps the biggest waste of management's time.

Fleeing a toxic workplace is like dealing with a bad breakup. It's tough to muster up the courage to break it off and even if you finally do, the Ghost of Cubicles Past may follow you into your next job, lurking around every corner, poisoning references, and tainting every good interview. Although, even if you're trying to run away from bad bosses in your closet, leaving your current job is harder than you think...

It's amazing how ego-fueled denial can make an employer wait until the last moments of your notice period before attempting to reassign your tasks and replace you. It's probably not surprising, though, given that this exact attitude and lack of care are probably what made you want to leave your job in the first place. Still, this happens time and time again—as evidenced by the sheer number of stories posted about it online. You might even have some stories and experiences of your own of dealing…
