You'd generally expect your position on the pay scale of an organization to accurately reflect your contributions and experience in the role. Unfortunately, this usually isn't even remotely close to being the truth.

Is friendship refundable?

As Kanye West once said, "How could you be so heartless?"

Hopefully, this sergeant will thaw out his attitude before the next time he asks for a favor from someone he has been treating like absolute garbage. It's really not that hard to be nice to someone—or at least decent—and deciding to hate them for a petty tribalist reason, like being a fan of a rival sports team or a member of another branch of the military, is downright insane. It's the kind of thing that works ok as a low-budget melodrama TV show plot or between two kids on the playground—but…

These people have some tiny little gripes to share. This week, we scoured the r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit for the best (and craziest) slightly irritating moments of this week . There's plenty to complain about in this world. From receiving a birthday cake that's way more questionable than you ordered, to getting stuck with the world's most annoying rideshare driver, people had some wild things to share. Check it out below! Then, click here to read about this bumbling roommate who needed his o…

When you’re a kid, you tend to think you can be anything you want to be, even a dog.

Power to all the workers who have had enough of lying customers getting their way. This guy is one of them. As a delivery guy, u/Motor-Corner4861 shared to the r/doordash_drivers subreddit, they had an encounter with a liar that was quite memorable. The OP writes that they got an order for a burger place, and drove the order to the customer. They actually remembered this dude, due to a name that was out of the ordinary. The OP thought the transaction went smoothly, which was reinforced by an ex…

This is what happens when you put a cap on income and employee benefits!

Management naturally steers towards less actual work by ordering employees around rather than stepping up and doing what is needed for the role. So it isn't surprising when some employees begin holding a vendetta. This corporate manager got his own personal annual goals and sent them off to OP, his employee, adding to his long list of responsibilities. Every year, the manager would unfairly get a bonus for OP's hard work. In order to deliver results, OP had to leave his desk at times, even the…

Remember that one kid from your high school English class who treated everything like it was a complete joke—to the point of cruelty—never taking or accepting responsibility for any of his actions? Yeah, well, that kid could have very likely gone on to become someone's manager or open their own business. Now there's a terrifying thought. It's like George Carlin famously put it: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Well, this bar owner and…

No one ever wants to have these types of conversations. Getting fired is one of the worst feelings out there, and not everyone handles rejection well. While most people doing the firing probably don't want to, they still have to deal with the crazy aftermath. As these people shared in their stories below, some folks just loose their entire mind when they're let go from their job. One particularly glorious tale is a brother and sister who were both working at the same restaurant when the brother…

Receipt reimbursement systems in companies are much more complicated than simply giving employees a hard per diem. In this case, OP was working on an off-site short-term project (that in reality lasted about a year) in Singapore, and he was allocated $60 per day for food expenses. On average though, OP was actually spending about half that amount. As the project went on, the customer's client began raising some issues, and OP was told to take the client out for dinner and some drinks. His manag…

Getting fired from a job where you didn't work is a bit like losing a race you weren't entered into in the first place; it's really hard to be upset about it when you didn't even know you had something at stake. This customer shared their story of witnessing another fellow customer ending up on the wrong end of a stray Karen's fury when they visited a “Wall of Marts” during a trip to the United States. They share their surprise at realizing that the people they had read about in “People of Wall…

At what point will HOA members freely admit that they solely exist to cause trouble that didn’t need to exist?

You know it's ridiculous when the cost of the request exceeds the actual overpayment!

Prepare to witness to one cafe manager's incredible story of the worst employee ever, a man incapable of working safely and efficiently for even an hour. As the OP told to r/StoriesAboutKevin, they had just hired a 26-year-old man to work at this small cafe. Things already weren't off to the best start – Kevin showed up 90 minutes late to his very first day of work! Somehow, this manager let his brand new employee work his first shift. Slowly but surely, Kevin managed to screw up literally ever…
