These workers were totally baffled by their employer's decision that is just designed to make their lives harder. Is it dramatic to say that commuting is the worst thing ever? I know there are worse things in the world, of course. But having a lengthy commute five days per week feels like it drains you of your energy. No matter how great the job is, if the commute is too long, you may find yourself groaning each day as you head in to the office. Working in a hybrid role is great---you don't hav…

This company was great at first, but slowly became too toxic for one employee. Cultivating a professional and pleasant atmosphere in a workplace takes effort from every person in the building. If employees are happy, they'll probably be friendlier, which will make collaboration easy. When employees are dissatisfied at their job, though, cliques start to form between different branches of the business, and employees might harbor resentment towards management . After all, if management is in char…

Some people do not know how to behave in a movie theater . It seems to be an ongoing problem that's gotten worse post-2020. It's like people were alone for so long during that period that they forgot how to act once they started doing activities outside the house again. Theater patrons have never been perfect. But these days, you can expect to see a half dozen bright cell phone screens in the crowd. It's so strange that people will pay money just to go sit in a theater and stare at their phones…

The IRS are not the ones to mess with. Every American has to bend to the IRS's will. They're the ones who require us to do taxes every single year. Sometimes they'll randomly audit you --this happened to me during one year where I made under $35k, which I honestly found hilarious. Surely they could've found a billionaire to audit and rake in that sweet sweet cash, but they really wanted a little more extra moolah from people like me. That's life in America , though. You may not enjoy it, but wh…

It's shocking that this person was able to spend seven hours working on just one order. It must have been one of the greatest days on the job for u/Kolandromir, an employee at a distribution center . Package distribution centers can be absolutely massive. The friends I knew who worked at these places described how large they were and how disorganized things were. I never met anyone who stayed at one of these places long term---most people only seem to last a month or three. The turnover rate is…

This woman was a notorious food thief… until the office potluck, that is. When someone gains a nickname like “Susan the Snack Stealer,” you can quickly figure out what type of person they are. Clearly, this woman had a reputation around her office. Due to her entitled attitude, she was completely fine with pilfering her coworker's sodas, granola bars, and chocolate. When you're hungry, you don't always make the best decisions. I wonder if Susan felt any remorse after stealing those morsels. It'…

This person decided to try their luck with a customer service rep , and they picked the wrong person to trifle with. As with many customer service calls, the customer called in and was already pretty upset with the circumstances. This dude requested a technician be sent ASAP, stating that he was having trouble doing business. As a business owner, no doubt that was a stressful scenario. We all know that that customers don't care why his business is being extra slow that day. All they know is tha…

One manager was left reeling after realizing their demands were wreaking havoc . For that dude, it was way too late to change what he'd already messed up. Having a good work flow is all about knowing what to prioritize . Like if you know your boss starts their morning with a coffee and an email you send a recap email from the day before, you wouldn't start the day by calling clients and ignoring your boss. As much as we dislike thinking about it, our bosses do have important jobs (sometimes), a…

Every workplace has a day or two that goes down in infamy. Someone at the office will do something so outrageous or unexpected that it catches everyone off guard. Whatever the hilarious incident may be, it becomes the inside joke that people bring up at the holiday party for years afterward. These people wrote in to share the funniest moments they ever experienced while on the job, and there are some incredible anecdotes. One of the most shocking stories involved a higher-up being so incredibly…

There are some things in life that are perpetually irritating, like getting stuck in traffic. When you have somewhere you need to be, and the cars in front of you are inching forward at a snail's pace, it's pretty annoying. Plus, there's nothing you can do about it. It's a small thing, but when you deal with traffic every day, it might start to take a toll. This person, u/Rhelyk, had a different sort of waiting issue . They had to deal with a slow computer . Oh man. In today's day and age, when…

This sales associate was perfectly fine with breaking a customer's computer just to make his own life easier. While buying new technology, things can get confusing pretty quickly if you aren't the most tech-savvy person . If you're buying a computer in person, for example, you might go into the store knowing exactly what you're looking for. But then a sales associate starts talking to you, and suddenly they're telling you that computer won't work for you. Instead, they say, you should get one t…

This restaurant closer was ready to “prove a point.”

The relief of taking two whole weeks off, after working 100 hour weeks , must be incredible. Humans aren't designed to work that much. Yet there are numerous career fields that require 16-hour days and working straight through the weekends. Doctors, nurses, and lawyers are among the groups of employees who tirelessly devote themselves to their jobs. But running on caffeine and energy bars isn't enough to keep a person going in the long run. This person shared their own story of when they worked…

Maybe you aren't brave enough to share what happened on your worst day of work , but these anonymous workers are. At any company, the big bosses have to allow some room for mistakes. There will always be human errors as long as humans are employed. For many people, when they mess something up, their immediate reaction is to try and hide it from their boss. It seems like that worked out in some cases for these employees! What your manager doesn't know won't hurt them (as long as they don't find…

This nepo-baby got humbled in a way she never expected. If you can't learn important life lessons early in life, life will figure out a way to teach you eventually. There's a reason most people aren't fond of nepotism, or the practice of hiring your own family members to work for you just because you're related. It makes the other workers at the company, who are perfectly qualified for their jobs, wonder why the CEO's clueless kid gets a high-paid position. Even if the kid has zero knowledge of…

You want phone calls? You got phone calls . That's totally fine by this overnight worker, since they usually barely call anyone during their shift anyway. As an employee, you may see the CEO of your company just a few times. Often, you'll be introduced to the CEO when you first start at the job, so it's important to make a good impression. After all, depending on your position and the size of the company, you may just never see them again after that. Most of us just don't work one-on-one with C…
