Well, that's one way to send a message!

Looks like a fun lawsuit

"I asked for what was required of my position and did just that the remainder of my time there."

When a worker tried to report some concerning workplace issues, they didn't get the reception they'd hoped for. If you reported something wrong in your workplace, would anything change? At some jobs, the answer would be an immediate yes. But at many workplaces, pointing out issues isn't going to make you any friends. There's a good chance that management already knows about them, and aren't willing to change them. So when an employee rocks the boat, it gets the supervisors worried for their own…

"He screamed, I mean screamed, ‘You agreed to work on this project weeks ago!’ I repeated his words verbatim."

This boss has an odd incentive structure, and it is not at all favorable towards his hard-working employees. When you go to an interview at a movie theater, I imagine they ask you about your customer service qualifications or your background working in retail. They probably don't ask how much snow you can shovel… these employees had to find out the hard way that it was part of their workplace requirements. U/SparkleFritz had a boss who insisted that when it snowed, the employees should be the o…

Great managers empower their employees, while bad managers like this just try to bring them down a notch. It's a fact of life, and one that this person found out while they were still a teenager. This person worked as a technician at the automotive department of a chain store. At just 18 years old, they were relegated to some of the easier car tasks. That included things like “maintenance checks like wiper fluid and tire pressure, easy stuff,” u/MrTyroneTheCat explained. After you check out thi…

A throwaway line in this person's story was drawing some major side-eyes from those who read it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Too many workplaces disregard this rule , and try different strategies that do nothing but annoy their workers. If you have a hardworking employee who gets all their tasks done and is loyal to your company, that's a benefit to the company. But some bosses refuse to leave good enough alone. Instead of finding an actual issue to fix, they've decided to bother this empl…

If you're an employee putting in extra work at your company to excel, typically, you're going to expect some kind of reward for your efforts. We're not talking about some boring pizza party or a jeans pass for the office; we're talking about a raise, a bonus, or some other monetary value that shows that our company values our efforts. That's how you create employee retention. Well, this entitled boss seems to think otherwise. This employee worked at a Fortune 200 company and was one day in a co…

The majority of workers fantasize about taking business trips. You are free to follow your own career path and see different cultures around the globe. Nonetheless, when an employee travels only for work, it is customary, if not required, for the company to cover the necessary costs to ensure the worker enjoys a pleasant stay. So, how would you respond if the business declined to cover necessities such as food? The story below is an account of a frustrated worker. The original poster (OP) descr…

Providing customer service is never an easy task for a number of reasons. The hardest part is the fact that you cannot predict who you'll run into or what type of attitude they're going to have. The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP), who is employed in retail, was hit with threats over a $1.63 charge. But rather than standing with OP and protecting the worker from the enraged client, management decided to stick by the client and reprimand OP for suppos…

In the corporate world, there are unwritten rules that need to be adhered to. If, for whatever reason, you decide to deviate from the norm, you should be prepared for the hits that will inevitably come your way. The following story tells the account of the employee who decided to stand up for himself in front of the company's managers. The original poster (OP) had been employed by the same business for a considerable amount of time. Even though he might be very talented in his field, the compan…

Some phrases from the business sector become ingrained in our minds forever. You are familiar with those vague proverbs that essentially advise you to get over yourself, but they do so in a polished and professional way. I came onto a post made by a frustrated employee on Reddit while perusing the site. The original poster (OP) goes into great depth to express his displeasure, which helps us as viewers better understand the reason why he has been driven to the point of no return. I felt compell…

This manager has some audacity for placing blame on their employee!

Bad bosses can't have their cake and eat it too!

It's often said that HR is never on your side, but is merely there to maintain an equilibrium that will prevent the organization from opening itself to vulnerability or liability. They are there to manage the “human” resources of the company, and—well, that's you . Still, in instances where you're dealing with someone in the organization—be it a boss, coworker, or other party—who is so incredibly off base with their actions or reasoning, then it just makes sense to go to HR and help them see yo…
