'No way José': Boss refuses to promote contracted employee of three years to full-time, fires him, then expects him to train replacements

'No way José': Boss refuses to promote contracted employee of three years to full-time, fires him, then expects him to train replacements

If they say they can't promote you or give you a raise but then they keep hiring full-time employees, it's time to get out of that toxic work environment. Because whether or not you're ready to admit this to yourself, the truth is they are never going to promote you, especially if you keep bringing it up and they keep doing next to nothing about it. If they were going to promote you, they would have done it already. Instead, they seem to want to squeeze as much underpaid labor out of you as the…

Coworker Gloats About His Luxurious Airport Lounge Access, So His Colleagues Humble Him by Sharing the Wrong Gate Number; He Misses the Flight

Even the most experienced traveler gets stressed out about a lot of things at the airport: boarding times, your luggage's weight, TSA scanners, and the classic worry of going to the wrong gate for your flight. These are all things that most people check (and re-check) diligently, that is, of course, unless you're a little too loosey-goosey at the luxury airport lounge.

'My coworker named her baby Strawberry Rain': 20+ cringeworthy baby names

We all know someone in our lives who made a questionable choice when naming their child. Some people like to be “original” without realizing that they are potentially scarring their baby for life by trying to be cool and different. Don't get me wrong: every so often, there's a unique baby name that genuinely works. But nine times out of ten, the bold baby names are a full swing and a miss. And guess who's stuck with that name for life? An innocent kid! Below is a compilation of some of the most…

'This is MY stall!': Karen tries to kick someone out of a public bathroom stall, starts shaking the stall and making a scene

Some Karens may run their homes, and others may run businesses, but no Karen owns the public bathroom of a local mall. Somehow, this entitled lady seemed to think otherwise despite the current occupant of said public bathroom stall. This Redditor was doing her business when the Karen came knocking on the stall door and tapping her heels impatiently. OP told Karen there were plenty of other empty stalls for her to use, and there were. However, this Karen simply could not be bothered and refused…

'I told her you might as well leave': Wendy's drive-thru manager stands up to customer's ridiculous request for a "newer" $5 bill

Welcome to working in fast food: Where the pay is low and the customers become your sleep paralysis demon. What is it about working in a fact food restaurant that attracts the biggest of both male and female Karens ? Do the neon signs say “entitlement welcome” or something? Yeah, yeah, it's not every customer that walks through the doors of a fast food place that is the worst, but, if you've ever worked fast food before, then you know it is a good portion of them. Just take this recent Reddit p…

'I ghosted a bad job offer': Candidate ghosts recruiter after getting offered $15K less per year, recruiter won't stop calling

'I ghosted a bad job offer': Candidate ghosts recruiter after getting offered $15K less per year, recruiter won't stop calling

There is nothing more frustrating in a job search than being dragged through an entire interview process only to be given a ridiculously low offer in the end. You would think this scenario could be avoided if the job candidate is transparent from the start about the kind of salary they are currently making and the kind of salary they would like to make in the new position. However, that is exactly what this Redditor did and they were still completely fooled by their recruiter. Of course, in thi…

'She blocked him everywhere': Boyfriend gets thrown out of his apartment, begs girlfriend to pay all his expenses, finally gets told off

There are people in this world who manage to convince themselves that everything happening to them is someone else's fault. These aren't the people you want to be working with, living with, or dating. Rather, these are the people you want to avoid at all costs, but sometimes, you don't know that you're dealing with this kind of person until it's too late. That seems to be the case for Emma, the best friend of this Redditor . OP shared Emma's story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople su…

'If they figure it out, you're going to get fired': Employee with three managers does nothing at work for a decade, claiming his plate is always full

The fact that this employee has managed to pull off this arrangement for over a decade is a remarkable achievement for slackers everywhere. Seriously, if he continues to make this situation work out, this dude might retire nicely one day after collecting a paycheck for doing nothing for the majority of his professional life. That might not be everyone's dream. Heck, it might not even be my own. However, you have to hand it to this guy for coming this far. At this point, you may be wondering wha…

‘GREAT! I don't want to work after hours': Beancounters nearly lose $100,000+ after abandoning clients after hours because they corners on company phones for tech support staff to save $50/month

Entry-level positions should never be expected to be available to clients 24/7– that's the work of upper management jobs who send one email a day and make a quarter million (+) per year. Life's all about balance, and when your work-life balance is disrupted, company hierarchies can get challenged...

reddit reddit-thread work work-story malicious-compliance workplace employee fired boss supervisor remote remote-employee laptop equipment company

'[Don't] waste my time': After firing a remote employee without warning, company demands he return a $500 laptop; he ships it for $850 at their expense as revenge

Working remote has its perks… but it also has its downfalls. Although you have the freedom to work in your own home (or wherever you please), it also means that upper management never actually knows who you are, which seems hunky-dory until you realize that, as an expendable employee, it's never been easier to get fired. Unfortunately for one employee, he got sideswiped by this reality in the worst way.

'He didn't touch my seat for the remainder of the flight': Kevin keeps grabbing passenger's seat, passenger gets petty by grabbing his hand with wet fingers

It takes a special kind of person to disturb others on a flight. If it happens just once, of course, we let it slide. If it happens twice, we exchange glares to let that person know they need to get their act together. If it happens thrice or even more times, it's time to confront them or, at the very least, give them a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/IndependentClub1117 , who was unfortunately seated directly in front of a Kevin. Th…

'At this point [the] Karen went silent': Coworker attempts to gaslight employee of 3-years, supervisor swoops in and puts her in her place

Work is always more difficult when you have a supervisor who isn't on your side. The toxicity that comes with a work environment like that truly brings you down each do you clock in. But when you have a supervisor who actually cares about their employees and fights for you and trusts you, then work is 100% better. One employee took to Reddit to share a story of their supportive supervisor. This redditor was working when she got a call from a notorious coworker from a different department. This…

'My husband is a lawyer': Karen tries to hit-and-run by using husband's job as an excuse despite evidence of collision

If this Karen's husband is, in fact, a lawyer, she should know that refusing to exchange your information after a collision means it's a hit-and-run. The original video was shared by @edward3jr , who unfortunately had to deal with this Karen after she bumped into their parked car. Like any Karen would, she claimed that their cars never touched despite clear evidence that says otherwise. That evidence includes dashcam footage depicting the impact and photo evidence of the aftermath. At first, th…

'Sorry, we need the coverage so you'll need to come in': Sick employee forced to come into work by disorganized manager

Let's be clear: the reason why this employee had to come in was not because of their negligence but because of the manager's. It doesn't matter where you work, whether it's retail or for the government. If you get sick, as all human beings do once in a while, you should be entitled to a day off without repercussions of any kind. However, there are still some managers out there with backward moral standards who believe that rallying despite feeling sick is a greater display of strength. We shoul…

'Enjoy a bouquet of petty little annoyances': Guy keeps talking loudly on the phone during train ride, passenger gets even

There is a certain etiquette when you're on a long train ride and in close quarters with other passengers. Talking loudly on the phone for hours on end is not up to code. If you go down that path, you can expect retaliation and feedback. It could be small such as your fellow passenger rolling their eyes or politely asking you to stop. However, the response could also be petty. In this instance, the response was severely petty. This Redditor shared all the ways in which he ensured that his fello…
