Talk about a savage way to go! This Redditor was offered a job on a military base that required him to relocate to Japan. However, after just one week, he was let go with barely any explanation. He hadn't even gotten a chance to execute his central responsibilities in the position since that first week was largely about getting settled and doing minimal training. Instead, he was dismissed with next to no explanation. His boss told him there would be other jobs on the base so it's not like he wo…

Why is it that when employees quit, they usually have to stay at their job for at least another two weeks, but when they get fired, they leave the same day without any additional work? Those two weeks since you hand in your notice and until your actual last day are always extremely awkward. Everyone at the office knows you quit, and basically have no interest in working with them anymore, the actual work you do feels pointless, and your manager is probably trash-talking you behind your back. Is…

This Karen, a cheapo haggler, decided she didn't feel like paying market value for her bathroom remodel after haranguing her contractor for months over every nickel and dime, but this ultimately cost more than just a couple thousand dollars, it would cost the integrity of her entire house.

This boss clearly enjoys messing around with his soon-to-be former employees on their last days. Whatever happened to being professional and leaving things on a strong note? It sounds like this dude has yet to put two and two together and realize that his manipulative and outright cruel tactics are the main reason why one employee after another is quitting on the spot. The original poster (OP) of this thread explained that after giving their two weeks' notice, they overheard their boss telling…

What do you do when your neighbor expects to use your Wi-fi for free?

Diving into the belly of the beast

Imagine reaching the end of your final two weeks at your mediocre job you can't wait to leave and learning that your boss knows your new boss. To make matters worse, not only do they know each other, but your current boss feels comfortable threatening to inform your new boss that you are the type to slack off on the job. Of course, this isn't exactly true. This employee had just been slacking off and doing the bare minimum over these last two weeks because who goes above and beyond when they're…

Neighborhood feuds are never fun to be a part of but they are endlessly entertaining when you yourself are an objective third party. Here, it's obvious who was in the wrong, but at least the resident didn't allow his neighbor to walk all over him. For context, the resident in question hired construction workers to help with his roof project for his elderly father, who lived on his property. He had notified his neighbor well in advance about the construction work, and his neighbor agreed to allo…

The reality is that everyone has a short fuse once in a while and is therefore bound to have an unnecessary and potentially unprompted outburst. We suppose that it's human nature to snap… within reason, of course. For instance, who hasn't had a friend get snippy with you when clearly you intentionally or unintentionally struck a nerve? Usually, when this happens, you can take a step back and both parties can assess what led to this momentary meltdown. However, sometimes these moments do not hap…

Would you bankroll your father if you got a good enough paying job?

In her husband's defense, the joke was funny; it was just extremely poor timing.

In today's episode of "Boomer Karen Strikes Again," we have a neighborhood drama that's almost too ridiculous to believe. This time, our entitled Karen, armed with decades of self-righteousness, decided that her idea of a perfect Sunday should be everyone's idea of a perfect Sunday. So, what did she do? She went on a mission to enforce "quiet Sundays," marching up to not one, not two, but four of her neighbors, demanding they stop mowing their lawns immediately. While most of us are just trying…

Managing a team is just as much about protecting your employees as it is about ensuring that they are following the rules. People seem to forget this all the time, as pressure from higher-ups can sometimes promote other ideas. Then, of course, there is the power of the big ego. Never underestimate a manager's ego guiding their form of leadership and disciplinary action. When ego governs a manager's decision-making skills, that manager is far less likely to take care of the people of their team.…

Talk about a manager who acted out of turn for no good reason. Here , we have a dude who was threatened by the fact that one of his bartenders at their pub helped bring in a ton of much-needed new staff members who were all his personal friends. Why was this problem? The manager was worried that they would all gossip behind his back and plan his demise. Sounds pretty paranoid and dramatic but that's exactly how this guy seemed to be wired. How did he act on his fears? Well, he decided the best…

People say success is about hard work and determination, but they could say the exact same thing about revenge. Here, we have a former employee whose ideas were quite literally stolen from their boss at the time. After getting fired, the former employee would go on to buy the company years later and demote the former employer who wronged him. It's the kind of workplace triumph one dreams of, so one can only feel a sense of second-hand fulfillment reading about this decade-spanning revenge plot.…
