'I'm not lying, I don't work here': Store manager confuses flight attendant with employee, insists that she stop playing 'tricks' and start working

'I'm not lying, I don't work here': Store manager confuses flight attendant with employee, insists that she stop playing 'tricks' and start working

This manager was clearly not in his right mind because the flight attendant he thought was his employee was wearing a completely different color than the store uniform. Of course, entitled people do not like to be proven wrong, so when the flight attendant tried to explain that she didn't work there and was a customer, the manager dug his heels into the ground and doubled down. Finally, when he realized that she was not, in fact, lying, the manager reprimanded the customer for trying to play tr…

Boss accuses employee of quiet quitting, employee responds by actually quitting: 'Here's to now making $20k more/year!'

Boss accuses employee of quiet quitting, employee responds by actually quitting: 'Here's to now making $20k more/year!'

Remember when everyone in the media freaked out at the concept of quiet quitting? This term came to prominence, of course, around the time of returning to in-person work, yet the idea behind quiet quitting has existed as long as offices have. As many typically younger folks pointed out, quiet quitting is not really doing the bare minimum; it's doing your job exactly as you have been instructed to do it while also placing boundaries between your work life and your personal life. It's a rejection…

'I really have to shake everyone's hand? Okay!': Boss makes sick employee go to important meeting to hand in doctor's note, he maliciously complies to challenge new sick day policy

'I really have to shake everyone's hand? Okay!': Boss makes sick employee go to important meeting to hand in doctor's note, he maliciously complies to challenge new sick day policy

The best way to explain to your boss why a certain policy doesn't work? Show, don't tell! Here, we have an employer who falsely accused the folks on his team of abusing the company's sick day policy with no substantial evidence that anyone was actually doing so. It was probably the classic managerial way of trying to solve a productivity issue that likely has more to do with their own managerial style and a lack of a proper number of team members than anything else. Now, if any employee got sic…

‘So it's my fault you can't save a file?’: Boomer boss blames IT employee for losing important work data, despite boss never saving his progress, leading to an office dispute

We all have people in our lives who make us wonder how they managed to get this far without having a single drop of technological knowledge or orientation. It is truly amazing (and slightly infuriating) that certain people can completely avoid adapting to necessary technological advancements, and still get so far in life. More often than not, those people end up becoming our bosses, which then leads us to be assigned the fantastic task of helping them navigate through the easiest tech stuff. Af…

'I am far more qualified': Employee loses promotion to newer coworker because of her more 'bubbly' personality

'I am far more qualified': Employee loses promotion to newer coworker because of her more 'bubbly' personality

It's easy to be underestimated when you're young in the workplace. Here, we have an employee who swears to be the most technically competent person on their team and recently trained a much older coworker who had just started at the company. When a new position opened up that the Redditor applied to and thought they should get in a heartbeat, they were denied for two main reasons. Firstly, their employer assumed she was too young and inexperienced despite having put in more years at the company…

HOA fines new homeowners for violations from the previous owner: 'The guy we bought the house from had been fighting the HOA for YEARS'

HOA fines new homeowners for violations from the previous owner: 'The guy we bought the house from had been fighting the HOA for YEARS'

There's nothing worse than being forced to clean up someone else's mess. These new homeowners assumed everything was good to go regarding compliance with HOA rules and regulations. However, just three months after buying the home, they were suddenly slapped with a ton of HOA fees for violating the bylaws. They tried to communicate that they had not made any adjustments to the house since they purchased it and therefore should not be held accountable for violations that the previous owner must h…

Step-mother won't drive 12 and 13-year-old step-daughters to dance class 50 minutes away, painting her as the villain, she wonders if she's wrong: 'Their mom's negativity changed how they treat me'

Family dynamics are always tough, even in the best of circumstances… Parenting teenagers is difficult enough when they're your own flesh and blood or they're otherwise your sole charge and are obligated to follow your direction. It gets infinitely more difficult when you have another adult who is influential in your life—especially one of their parents who is undermining you and just generally poisoning the well and encouraging them to be toxic towards you at every possible chance. You'd think…

Boss forces employee to accept $1 raise while doubling their workload, employee refuses, informs boss to take it up with their lawyer: ‘He lost it’

Don't you sometimes wish you could say whatever you want to your boss, without thinking of the repercussions? Perhaps we could come up with a workplace ‘purge day’, in which everyone could do and say whatever they wanted at work, and then all will be forgotten the next day. Some employees don't need a day like that, as they are not afraid to put people in their place, even their bosses. Take the employee in this Reddit story for example. If I were told by my boss that I have to accept a $1 rais…

'Boss had thrown the rest of my lunch away': Employee gets even with disrespectful boss after she disapproves of his lunch smell, he stinks up her office

This employee seems to think that he and his boss are friends, but let's be real: friends do not treat one another like this. Many folks in the comments section of this Reddit thread called their so-called healthy friendship dynamic into questions, even when it came to their carpooling. Some folks wondered if they even alternate or if the employee is always doing the boss's bidding. The two share an office, and one day, the boss made a snide remark about the smell of the employee's sandwich his…

‘Fine, keep the money’: School demands students pay deposits for laptops, then refuses to give the money back, leading students to keep the laptops for themselves as payback

When we were kids, we were constantly told to always listen to the adults in our lives, most importantly to our parents and teachers. We were raised in the belief that adults always knew what was right and wrong, so we should take their words as guidance through life. Unfortunately, that is often not the case, and surely now we can all think of examples of times adults were very much in the wrong, and went as far as taking advantage of their seniority over the kids in their lives, leading to ve…
