Managerial hubris is one of the reasons employees hate their jobs. Not only are we lacking in pay, but we are enslaved to the most incompetent group of overinflated bimbos who could easily be replaced by AI– at leas the replacement would be more charismatic. But these types of managers will deny your raise and then come begging for your help. Which is it? Do you value my hard work or not?

Working for a company with a dress code can be exhausting. When you were hired, you had your own style, but now you have a closet full of cookie-cutter outfits that a blind librarian might wear to a funeral. Lame!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! It's common saying that this office place has clearly never heard of. After hiring a secret employee to find the weak parts of this business, the higher-ups made a huge mistake. The OP shared their story to r/pettyrevenge, but in my opinion, this is definitely pro-level revenge . They had the opportunity of a lifetime to show their office place exactly how important they were. Even the strategy the OP had – take 2 weeks vacation ASAP, let the pieces fall where t…

The internet can't agree on this couple's dilemma: who has the rights to their computer room?

Have you ever snoozed your alarm for the 40th time and wondered if your job is really worth getting up today? If you're -once again- willing to sacrifice your career for a few extra moments of sleep, you might have a permanent case of the Mondays.

Who knew that paperclips had such power? This office manager decided they were sick of being underappreciated at work. They explained how their job basically included being receptionist, payroll, office manager, assistant, etc. all in one position. Not exactly sustainable and not exactly fair. It turns out that their boss had an unruly habit of finding office issues for OP to handle, so OP developed ways to subtly get their revenge without any consequences. One way was to lower the length of th…

When are we going to get the 4 day work week situation dialed in? What will it take to wipe Mondays off the work-week map? It seems like ever since you graduated, you can help but count down the minutes until Friday at 5pm only to waste away 1/3 of your weekend on Sunday afternoons when you're stressing out about starting to work again. It's a vicious cycle. Maybe if you had 3 days to do your weekend chores (party, drink, socialize, vacuum, groceries) you'd be more rejuvenated every week. But n…

When you get distracted when you work from home, managers will consider you an unproductive employee. When you work in an office, those same distractions are called “company culture”.

Every office has that coworker with the noisy chair.

We love a triumphant ending in which ruthless managers at a company get exactly what they deserve. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/baka-tari , a new manager who was brought in to oversee a team that included Willie. Willie made a comment about the uncomfortable layout of the office that rubbed the other managers the wrong way. So, essentially, they attempted to blacklist Willie and find a way to keep him from getting other opportunities in other departments. The…

Being a corporate suit is like being a hamster in a cage. Your life is pretty plushy, but at the end of the day, all you do is run around on that little wheel of yours, while you mindlessly imagine what it's like in the real outdoors. The corporate cage turns nepo babies, rich folks, and country club members into feral wolves, while it turns the rest of us into handsome blonde rodents with a 2 year life span . Hang in there, Hamtaro, the wheel will keep spinning even when you stop running, so p…

Hey Siri, how do you say, "I quit my job, I have no money, please don't rob me" in Spanish?

It seems like every time you clock in a little piece of you gets eaten away. Work has that effect on people, especially in the corporate world. Just because you “spice up” your cubicle with pictures of tropical vacations doesn't mean you're any closer to getting that week-long PTO request approved. And just because you do excellent work in your department doesn't mean you're going to get that raise– in fact, your boss will probably just give you more work to do as a reward for your success. If…

Commuting to work must be the biggest waste of time known to man. You sit in traffic on the freeway for 45 minutes with a stale drive through coffee in your hand, meetings to panic about, and road rage in your heart . Now imagine if your office was only 10 steps away from your bedroom? 20 steps away from your kitchen and fully stocked cupboard? Not only do you have full access to all of the luxuries of home (snacks, good coffee, comfortable pants, and your pets), but your "commute" takes about…

The number one rule in any work environment: be kind to the receptionist!

This dude told a hilarious story of email insanity, writing, “I witnessed this astounding IT meltdown around 2004 in a large academic organization…”
