'I decided to start including the Chairman/CEO... on all emails': 22-year-old employee gets admonished by supervisor for their over-the-top email tactics

This worker has taken a hilariously petty tactic to get employees to reply to them. Rest assured, their boss completely hates this tactic, and the internet has informed them how dumb it is, too. Some people refer to “email jobs” as fake work. It's the type of job where you get paid a nice salary and benefits to work 40ish hours per week. Your boss probably doesn't care if you come in a few minutes late or decide to take a long lunch with your colleagues. That's in contrast with retail work or f…

'If I have to talk to you again, you have to sit in time-out for 10 minutes': 10+ Employees who got fired after getting petty with their most entitled customers

Think back to your first job and try to remember how you dealt with customers. Were you the polite type who tried to solve every situation without an argument, or were you the type to bring in your manager so you wouldn't flip out on that customer? Either type is fine, because let's face it, some customers are just the worst people. They have zero respect for the hard workers in retail positions, fast food jobs, or call center reps. All these customers can think about is themselves and their ow…

Employee gets back from work trip only to find out their position became redundant due to restructuring, faces termination from dream job: ‘I thought I had finally made it’

You never know when will be the day your boss might get tired of you, and losing a job you actually love is a lot harder than losing a job you couldn't care less ab…

17-year-old student records substitute teacher's outburst at classmate: 'She threatened me with a lawsuit'

This is how you get fired, y'all! This substitute teacher stepped in while the Redditor's actual teacher was on maternity leave, and let's just say that she quickly became unpopular. Of course, it's easy for students to dislike substitute teachers, but this time, it was justified. Everyone who was getting A's in the class up to that point quickly started getting C's. She frequently went on tirades about how all the students in her class were entitled. She clearly was projecting and had an axe t…

If you do your job too well, you're simply going to make everyone else look bad by comparison. Instead of earning yourself the praise you deserve, you actually just wind up putting a target on your back while everyone quietly wishes you'd just disappear and stop making all of their jobs harder by setting the bar so high. Usually, your boss won't just come right out and tell you to stop working so hard or being so competent, saying the quiet part out loud would only make them and the team look w…

“Swifties not welcome:” Why a growing subreddit full of anti-Taylor Swift fans has become the new tabloid magazine

Taylor Swift’s diehard fans, who call themselves “Swifties,” have a reputation (pun intended) for being an intense fandom who will protect their queen no matter what.

She has never been more of a household name th…
