Restaurant manager demands $50 from each of her servers' tip money, server reports her to the owner: 'She's getting fired as soon as she gets back from vacation'

This manager is going to have a hard time the day she comes back from her extended vacation. Well, that's what you get for making enemies out of nearly everyone who is working for you. Not long after joining the restaurant, this new hire implemented unfair scheduling policies that mostly benefitted her above all else. It was only a matter of time before the Redditor and her boyfriend, who also worked at the restaurant, discovered a big mistake that could get this new manager fired. Well, one da…

Update: Coworkers join forces to confront paralegal who blocks doors when he sees women approach: 'HR won’t do anything'

This group of employees wasn't sure how to handle the workplace weirdo … because he doesn't technically work with them. This person wrote in for advice using a throwaway account called u/throwRA-nonSeq. They shared that they work in an office complex with a bunch of different businesses, and there's one dude who's being an utter creep. He's being just annoying enough to really weird out the other employees, especially the women, who he seems to target in particular. But, as is often the case wi…

'They want her to [pay] $2,500.00': Neighbor fires back at HOA for forcing her to pay for landscaping area outside her property, HOA pays up

What is the purpose of homeowner's associations if not to stir up unnecessary trouble? We have seen countless stories where HOAs enforce ridiculous rules and regulations just for the sake of flexing their muscles, yet we have rarely seen a group of neighbors band together in support of one of their own, who successfully got rid of a ridiculous new policy. In this scenario, the HOA in question randomly decided to require that several members of the neighborhood replenish their decks and landscap…

29-year-old refuses to give up first class seat to pregnant woman on 10-hour flight: 'Her discomfort wasn't my responsibility'

29-year-old refuses to give up first-class seat to pregnant woman on 10-hour flight: 'Her discomfort wasn't my responsibility'

Generosity only goes so far when you're asked to give up your first-class seat on a 10+ hour flight. If you are the type of person who would willingly downgrade your experience despite what you paid for, then you are a greater person than most people are. We are inclined to side with the Redditor in this situation. She had splurged on this flight experience because she had been overworked and exhausted. It was a worthy gift to herself. When a pregnant woman's husband asked if she would give up…

'My boss just decided water isn’t free anymore': Warehouse worker shares their frustration when their boss declares employees now need to buy water

Who hasn't watched the amenities of their workplace—the absolute basics that you might expect to have in the office break room—slowly eroding? First, it starts with the coffee. If you had a machine in the workplace, suddenly that's gone, leaving a French Press. Ok, fair enough, but before long, the actual coffee they were providing is replaced with the cheapest instant coffee available that doesn't even really taste like coffee. Now, they're no longer providing milk, so everyone has to buy thei…

Employee gets petty revenge on office food thief: '[I'm] ghost saucing my coworker'

The office food thief can count their days, because this person has discovered a genius way to get back at the dude stealing their lunch. This person's coworker Mike has sticky fingers. He's constantly pilfering food from the office refrigerator , but the human resources team has thrown up their hands and said there's nothing they can do to stop him. Eating someone else's food seems really embarrassing to me: it implies that not only can you not remember to bring lunch , or can't afford to eat,…

Professor tries to drop 22-year-old college senior from class based on one absence, student claps back with receipts: 'Will you please explain the policy to my professor?'

That's why this college senior felt compelled to call him out on his nonsense. The senior was in his final semester before graduating and needed to complete this specific course for his major despite knowing that the professor was notoriously unkind and unfair. After the student got sick and had to miss the…

Coworkers stealing food from break room fridge for 6 months learn they've been eating gorumet dog food the entire time: '[They] gave me horrified looks'

It's impolite to steal people's stuff, and ultimately, they're not really responsible if what you're stealing isn't what you thought you were stealing. Besides, when you're taking things without asking, there isn't really a chance for the person you're stealing from to tell you what it is that you're stealing from them. Having food going missing from the workplace fridge is an all-too-common office frustration, driving some to go to considerable lengths in order to secure their food in the frid…

Mom defends 8-year-old daughter's right to read during family vacation, family members ask her to "reconsider": 'My MIL and FIL have spent the entire breakfast scowling at me'

21-year-old college student sabotages terrible roommate's chances at getting into her sister's sorority: 'She’ll never ever be in that particular chapter'

For those of you who know, rushing sororities and fraternities is a pressure cooker of an experience. It's also not one of those challenging processes in life that brings out the best in people. As someone who never acquiesced and succumbed to the Greek Life experience but observed many peers go through it, I can say with confidence that rushing can feel as high stakes as applying to college. So why would someone willingly put themselves in that situation? Well, socialization and social hierarc…
