Blame it on his roots, he came in with his joots.

These workplaces found out the hard way that you can only push your employees so far before they snap.

There are certain people in life who enjoy inserting themselves into situations where they are clearly not wanted. This coworker was invited to the Redditor and his wife's wedding as a courtesy, but she decided that it was important to her to assist in the planning despite not taking into account the tastes of the bride and groom. She honestly sounds like an absolute nightmare to deal with. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/Nachtjaeger68 , and let's just say tha…

This employee tried over and over to tell their boss that they were making a mistake . Some bosses just always want to think they're right. U/Ars-Torok had a great malicious compliance story to tell, and while it's a long story, it's totally worth the read. The OP writes that while rising through the ranks of this company, they worked with a few different bosses. One was a great boss who could solve anything… and the other was Steve. Steve was the kind of boss who thinks they are right 100% of…

Can you imagine having this much leverage and not using it to your advantage? It's almost as crazy as a company not keeping any records of important documentation like their entire directory before laying off most of the company. Oh, wait… both of those scenarios are happening here. This Redditor was laid off about a year ago in a very unceremonious fashion. Essentially, most of the company was laid off at once with 30 minutes' notice at the end of a work day. It doesn't get much more savage th…

This boss tried to bluff , only for their employee to call them out on it. While things didn't go to plan for the boss, their employee, u/exie610, got some amazing revenge. Some managers have no respect for individual jobs. Instead, they'll insist that alongside your own job, you can also do the work of four or five other people. Why do one job excellently when you can do five jobs badly? At some companies, things are always run this way, either because the boss is a penny pincher, or because m…

This story will be familiar to anyone who has worked in service or retail, with both entire industries being plagued by employers who require you to show up early—without being paid for it—or finish tasks after closing after being automatically clocked out when the doors locked. Managing these businesses isn't much better, earning only moderately better pay while being made to work more unpaid hours that actually pushes your earning back down to (or below) minimum wage. Combine this with chroni…

Have you ever been in a situation so bizarre you were sure there must be TV cameras somewhere nearby? This bewildered customer recently had that experience, and it has commenters in a tizzy trying to figure out what was going on. In an era of constant content, pranks are a popular way to make videos cheaply and easily. Even if they're not from official TV shows, you could run into TikTokers or other content creators who want a few quick reactions. That's even worse, in my opinion, because at le…

Employees in customer service should be paid considerably more for the number of things they have to put up with on a daily basis… and minimum wage just isn't cutting it anymore. In this case, OP was working the front desk of a hotel, and described her experience with a Karen guest as the worst she'd ever had, and that's saying a lot, considering OP has been in the business for over seven years. This particular lady's arrogance outweighed anything that OP had ever encountered. Throughout Karen'…

If you mess with things that you don't understand, you're going to make one. There's a reason why any leader worth their salt knows to listen and observe when they join a new organization rather than wildly making changes to feed their own ego. Yet, so many managers make the mistake of not doing this, seeking to make their mark on the organization and justify their salary. They might not even have any relevant experience with the industry they've moved into, yet they think they can just walk in…

There's nothing like a table full of Karens to make your first shift as a waiter the worst shift ever.

Any time you take a stand against your company, it feels like standing up to the elementary school bully. Sure, maybe they had a growth spurt before everybody else, but that doesn't make them the boss of me! However, in the adult world, things are a lot more complicated and it's not as simple as telling the bully that you're going to give them a wedgie in front of the whole class.

As a parent you want to teach your children to turn the other cheek; to not give into petty squabbles because you want them to be above that kind of negativity. All a grudge does it make you feel worse and does nothing to your “enemy.” However, that is easier said than done. We are all humans who feel real human emotions, and some of those emotions are frustration and anger. If someone is being a complete jerk to you, it's very hard to just “ignore” them. The desire to feel justice is very very…

This man can't decide if he should quit peacefully or expose the toxicity.

When you've been stuck in the interview process for too long, it starts to get exhausting. Slapping a new smile on everyday, answering the same 3 questions, and thinking of how to spin your greatest weaknesses into positive, work-related gibberish feels futile. Sorry Patricia, my greatest weakness is not my overly strong work ethic… my weakness is an entire box of Little Debbie Shortcake Rolls.

Doing the same exact task over and over again is not how most employees want to spend their days. Sure, most jobs involve some form of repetition. But this person's boss kept insisting they do the same exact inventory count over and over indefinitely, so it's no wonder this employee got so fed up. This person ended up filling out an anonymous survey where they spilled the beans, and as folks in the comments helpfully noted, please remember that no survey from your workplace is every really anon…
