This certified nursing assistant got put in an awkward situation when she declined to work a shift, and her boss just couldn't accept it. Doctors and nurses are chronically overworked, and are terribly under appreciated. The very people who take care of us when we're at our most vulnerable state are often exhausted from their own long shifts. This woman is feeling that right now. As she wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, she worked eight days of 16-hour shifts in a row! Instead of treating her like a su…

I can't imagine how this boss retains any of his employees if he can't even keep the top performer on the team! If you're a great boss, you encourage your team to shine, bring out the best in people, and don't need to micromanage. If you're just an okay boss, maybe you have some flaws, but your employees just have to work around you. Then, there's horrible bosses like this guy, who are just rotten to the core, and don't care about their employees in the slightest. In this text conversation shar…

The nerve of this teen is really impressive! He's sure to be an employee his boss at the smoothie shop never forgets. When you're a teenager , your brain is still growing. You're uninhibited and think you can do anything without consequence. This guy, 19 year old Jake, is a hilarious example of this. He was really putting malicious compliance before his own self preservation! As u/RussianAnnaB wrote in the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, her boyfriend Jake had a job at a smoothie store , but h…

Negotiating a raise is always a tough conversation. For employees who have a cheapo boss and have been taken advantage of their entire career, it's dang near impossible to get what you deserve when it comes to salary improvement.

Older generations think that millennials and Gen Z have no work ethic. Obviously that's not true across the board, it's just that younger folks aren't inclined to work for jobs with no benefits, living wages, or humanity. One millennial recently got accused of faking being sick at work to get out of his shift, even though he had a fever, chills, and was violently ill in the bathroom.

We all know that feeling when you're at work and you feel like you're being watched. Well, turns out this employee actually was being spied on at all times. Her boss was looking at the security cameras regardless of whether or not she was actually in the office. First of all, let's start our breakdown with the fact that this horrible boss needs to get a life of her own. You know there's a problem when people on Reddit are recommending that OP check her country's surveillance laws. As for the wo…

The best part of this story is the image of the employee strutting into the office with a pink bow tie.

There's nothing more cringey than that sinking feeling in your gut when you hear restaurant waitstaff emerging from the kitchen with a sparkling dessert in hand and a birthday song on their lips. For some, even when it's not even their birthday, this public hooplah sends them into a fight-or-flight response.

This boss thought that all management involved was kicking back, relaxing, and letting everyone around him do 100% of the work. His employees pushed back, and made him regret his laziness with their own form of petty revenge. This guy seems like he was living out every salesperson's ideal career. He claimed that after working hard for years, he finally became the “ top salesman ” at a phone store. And now that he'd moved up to management, he planned on doing next to nothing. This seems like a d…

This one is for the employees with one foot out the door.

Any manager who flouts the rules is bound to learn an expensive lesson. The relationship between a boss and employee is one that has to be carefully navigated. Even more so in the case of this person, whose boss was running a rather shady business , but still chose to be a jerk to his employees. The OP wrote about their nuclear level revenge they inflicted on their boss. During a snow storm, the employer made the crazy choice to have his employees shovel the parking lot, instead of hiring a tru…

When a boss is as terrible at managing projects as he is at managing people, trust you're gonna suffer the consequences, whatever they may be. This employee had to work on his vacation to make up for the ridiculous amount of time lost thanks to awful management. He was working on a project for his company, of which he and his team were behind schedule. The reason for that being… his boss. He quickly realized that he was going to be the scapegoat for said lousy management, so he handed in his tw…

The boomers who raised many of us in the workforce now were taught that if you try your hardest and show the higher ups that you can go above and beyond, then you will be rewarded for your hard work. The boomers worked up their nepotism work chain, so why can't you? The funny thing about advice from boomer as that it is dated and matter of factly, expired. As us millennials and Gen Z start to take over the workforce, we see more and more that no, your hard work does not get rewarded unless you…

Private events at restaurants are often riddled with miscommunications, false impressions, and rude guests/customers. One server took to Reddit, complaining about an entitled, elitist customer she'd come across at a sports event the restaurant she worked at, hosted. Organizers of such events generally relay important information to guests, but it usually lands on deaf ears. This was such a case. She was working with colored lanyards, so she knew which guests were to receive free refills on spir…

The door isn't wide enough.

Coworkers tend to fall between three categories — A. The ‘Know it all’, B. The ‘Think’s they know it all', and C. The 'Don't know nothing's'. This employee was sure he was a part of Exhibit A when actually he fell poorly into category B. Not the practical type, he wanted to make everyone's life a lot more difficult, including the customer's. All for the sake of being right... which he wasn't, at all.
