Food company sends quality control team cheaper sauce, then ignores their warning about low quality and releases it anyway: ‘The customers won't taste the difference’

'If it ain't broke don't fix it' could not be any more clear, and yet many companies, especially in the food industry, keep trying to change things that don't need changing. Surely, every single one of us can think of a food product that we used to love, but then something about it changed and suddenly tasted disgusting. I'm sure it will not come as a surprise to know that companies do that because they are trying to reduce costs and use cheaper products. And when you use cheaper products, well…

Boss demands employee rewrite their job description with more responsibilities, but refuses to give them raise in return, employee arrives empty-handed instead: ‘I'll stick with that, thanks’

Boss demands employee rewrite their job description with more responsibilities, but refuses to give them raise in return, employee arrives empty-handed instead: ‘I'll stick with that, thanks’

If a workplace can get away with dumping new responsibilities on employees without giving them anything in return, you can bet they will give it a go. There are plenty of employees who won't notice they are being taken advantage of, and will gladly agree to more work with nothing in return. They will probably convince themselves that it is good for the experience, and at least they can put the extra responsibility in their resume, for the next job to come. If you are not interested in gaining '…

'I decided to start including the Chairman/CEO... on all emails': 22-year-old employee gets admonished by supervisor for their over-the-top email tactics

This worker has taken a hilariously petty tactic to get employees to reply to them. Rest assured, their boss completely hates this tactic, and the internet has informed them how dumb it is, too. Some people refer to “email jobs” as fake work. It's the type of job where you get paid a nice salary and benefits to work 40ish hours per week. Your boss probably doesn't care if you come in a few minutes late or decide to take a long lunch with your colleagues. That's in contrast with retail work or f…

Employee gets back from work trip only to find out their position became redundant due to restructuring, faces termination from dream job: ‘I thought I had finally made it’

Getting to do what you always wanted to, ever since you were a little kid, is something very few people can claim they achieved. Think about it, how many people do you know who can actually say they work in their 'dream job'? If one does manage to work in their dream job, they might have to work extra hard to keep a firm hand on it. You never know when will be the day your boss might get tired of you, and losing a job you actually love is a lot harder than losing a job you couldn't care less ab…

'I spilled coffee on [my company's CEO] on my first day': New hire makes dreaded first-day mistake when they spill coffee all over the company's CEO

The first day at a new job is a nerve-wracking experience. With none of the comforts of a practiced routine and familiarity, it really feels like you're totally winging it and just laying it all out there. Of course, when nerves are frayed and you're feeling jittery, it's more likely you're going to stuff something up, which is why those first-day nerves end up being rather prophetic. This worker made just about the worst first-day mistake you could possibly imagine when they accidentally poure…
