'People were driving along the shoulder in order to get ahead of the traffic': Top Tales of Instant Karma

'People were driving along the shoulder in order to get ahead of the traffic': Top Tales of Instant Karma

Jojo Siwa, Chappell Road, and Taylor Swift sure have plenty to say about karma, but don't we all? The funny thing about karma is that you really can't predict when it's going to strike. For instance, how many times have we all witnessed someone driving recklessly on the road without any legitimate consequences for their actions? Because of this fact, we have to embrace when karma does come back around to haunt the entitled people of this world. So the next time you see a selfish driver avoiding…

New hire discovers mistake in contract that benefits hm, refuses to budge and adjust start time: 'My colleagues are all 8am until 5:30pm. My contract is for 9 to 5pm'

New hire discovers mistake in contract that benefits hm, refuses to budge and adjust start time: 'My colleagues are all 8am until 5:30pm. My contract is for 9 to 5pm'

If your employer failed to correct a mistake in your contract, that's their problem, not yours. This hire began his new position and realized that there was growing resentment from some of his new colleagues. Why, you may ask? As it turns out, everyone else in the office had to begin work at 8:00 am sharp, while the new guy was regularly waltzing in at 9:00 am. That's not because the new hire was always running late, as some of his coworkers likely suspected. He actually thought he was followin…

Manager refuses to approve employee's time off despite them providing a replacement, employee informs manager he has a choice: ‘Accept either my vacation or my resignation’

There are so many rules protecting the employer from employees doing whatever they want, but it is time to protest that there are not enough rules protecting employees from their employers. If an employee informs their employer of their time off, two months before it is due, there should absolutely be a rule prohibiting the employer from saying no. Employees should be allowed to use their time off whenever they want to, and if they bring it up a sufficient time in advance, employers should have…

'You can either work with me, or I walk': 18-year-old discovers that car dealer won't negotiate car price despite their strong evidence for the asking price

Can a car dealer haggle a price with a teenager? This car dealer barely even tried, as u/rattlesnake501 explained. It can be really tricky to know how to negotiate a car deal. There are various different websites that can tell you how much the car should be worth based on its age, mileage, and other factors, like if it's been in a crash. But just because you show up to the dealership with these facts in hand, doesn't mean that the car dealer will actually agree with you. If your paperwork says…

HR Manager demands IT employee automate system to approve all requests, accidentally exposing sensitive data: 'That decision was automated away by your request'

Change is inevitable, no matter how we try to escape it or ignore it by burying our heads in the sand. The thing is, change is also pain, as whenever something new is to be learned, there is always going to be a process of failure and adaption and a loss of the comfortable and familiar, which is why people might try to avoid change in the first place. We can then conclude that, by associative properties “change is inevitable” and “change is pain” can just be simplified to “pain is inevitable”—b…

'I'm moving out': Parents adopt daughter's high school bully behind her back, leading to the 16-year-old cutting off contact with entire family

Fostering or adopting kids in need of a home is one of the most honorable things a family can do. If every family could open up their home for one kid, the world would definitely be a better place. But even if a family does adopt a child, it only means the hard work has just begun. Even if it seems like the hard part, the adoption part is just the beginning, as now the family has to work together to make sure their new addition feels comfortable and happy in their new home, while also making su…

Lavender picking neighbor gets told off by homeowner

You're not supposed to take things that aren't yours—this is something that is ingrained in us from a very young age (or at least it's supposed to have been.) We were all taught that taking Little Jonny's red ball out at recess without his permission wasn't ok. Although we might still hold a grudge against Jonny for being a tattle tale (we were going to give it back), it doesn't change the fact that some valuable lessons were learned. These lessons and new-found boundaries should have stayed wi…

Boss gets rid of everyone's remote days but then keeps working from home himself: 'He always makes excuses'

Whatever happened to practicing what you preach? This boss genuinely thought he could get rid of everyone's only work-from-home day each week, only to never abide by the rule himself. He always found an excuse to message his team at least once a week saying he had appointments or needed to stay home for his kids, blah blah blah. Look, we are sympathetic to the fact that people have life commitments and families to take care of during the week. That's why remote work can be beneficial for everyo…

Company demands job applicant purchase their product as part of their assignment, applicant refuses, accusing the company of scamming: ‘I will not partake in this assessment’

Finding a new job is an annoyingly scrutinizing process, and the biggest pain in the whole ordeal is probably the assignments companies tend to give their applicants. While they are a necessity, as they can supply a workplace with a rather good idea of their candidates' abilities, they are a lot of work for the candidates themselves. One assignment is fine, but when one looks for a job, they probably end up completing dozens, if not hundreds of assignments before actually securing a job. The co…

New manager gets rid of chairs and makes employees stand for full shifts even when there are no customers: 'We now have to stand for 8 hours'

People who sit behind a computer all day working from home tend to think that their struggles are the center of the universe, but the truth of the matter is that the real hard workers out there are the ones who have to be on their feet during the entirety of their shifts without sufficient breaks. Here, we have a team of employees at a "gift shop/information center" who have to endure standing for their eight-hour shifts for no good reason other than that's what their new ruthless manager think…
