'The shift was completely cancelled': Snow day blunder results in mass employee call-outs

'The shift was completely cancelled': Snow day blunder results in mass employee call-outs

Adults don't get to have snow days nearly as often as they should. Kids used to have snow days all the time in decades past. There was nothing better than the feeling of waking up for school to a blanket of snow coating every surface. In the past, you'd have to turn on the TV and watch the scrolling ticker on the bottom of the screen to find your school's announcement (but these days, there's an app for that). When you got to see the name of your school with the word “closed” next to it, it was…

'Every single ticket was dismissed': Serial speeder discovers legal loophole, saves thousands of dollars in speeding tickets

'Every single ticket was dismissed': Serial speeder discovers legal loophole, saves thousands of dollars in speeding tickets

This dude discovered the ultimate driving loophole and has never looked back. He's like the definition of a person who's too smart for their own good. U/treize_k had a great story to share about their father's excellent malicious compliance . Dad found a way to speed without a care in the world. We've all pushed the speed limit at some point. There are places to be, and there's no one on the road, so you decide to drive a bit faster. And on highways, people routinely go 20 or 30 miles above the…

'He prints out the receipt and... sees I left 10% [tip]': Waiter protests small tip after providing poor service to customers

It's time to dive into the tipping debate . Should you tip every time you eat at a restaurant? Many people, myself included, would say yes. It's not that we enjoy tipping, especially during these times of high inflation and being asked to tip for tons of services these days. But tipping is a necessity for waiters and waitresses, and it's a good feeling to reward someone who has done a good job taking your order and bringing you your food and drinks. But what if the waiters do a bad job ? What i…

'The install guy had to call me three times': Internet provider refuses to cancel customer's service, customer makes them drive to the middle of nowhere to prove they can't install satellite internet

One customer had a hard time getting their internet provider to understand them. When they said they were moving off the grid , they weren't kidding! Rural life is appealing to many people because of that amazing peace and quiet you find while living in nature. Isolated from other houses, cars, and buildings, you can really appreciate the quietude. Some people even love to live really deep out in nature . In places like Alaska or other very rural locales, it's common that some folks won't have…

Update: New hire pushes employees out of their job responsibilities, employees agree to 'not interfere with her work at all'

Update: 'Within a week I was getting complaints': New hire forces employees out of their job responsibilities, employees agree to 'not interfere with her work at all'

These employees were totally baffled by their CEO's recent decision. At least according to their update, they got some amazing results from a bad situation. U/ACFF has an amazing story to tell the r/ MaliciousCompliance community. It involves their bosses making a major change to their jobs, without realizing what they were actually doing. This happens so often with CEOs who barely do their job. Even though they make millions of dollars per year, some c-suite execs barely ever make it into the…

'I don't like when she's sitting in the same room as me': Guy asks 'AITA?' for making his GF get out of the house while he works

This dude lives with his GF, but in his own words he doesn't like spending time with her — especially when he's trying to work.

He also works multiple jobs , basically working around the clock. At first, he claims he asked h…
