This CEO is about as foolish as you can get. You don't have to tell that to his employees, like u/Chairfighter, who have to put up with his shenanigans no matter what the cost. They just have to roll their eyes and do what the higher-ups say. After that, read about the funniest sleepwalking or sleeptalking incidents people have ever witnessed, such as: “One kid shouted 'I SEE THE LIGHT!' and then sleepwalked into a wall .”

Boomer manager reprimands employee for failing to complete a task, despite him providing no guidance on how to do it, employee quits on the spot: 'This is why you are on the verge of bankruptcy'

Employees who decide to quit their terrible jobs often face the dilemma of – on what terms do they want to leave said jobs? Sometimes, all you want to do is tell your soon-to-be former manager just how awful it was working for them, and air out all the reasons they made you hate the job. However, you might not want to burn any bridges and leave on bad terms, because you never know when you might run into those people again, or if you ever find yourself in need of something from them, so saying…

‘Why won't you fire the dude?’ Manager discovers employee is stealing money, informs owner, only to be blamed for not stopping it and have the stolen amount deducted from their pay

‘Why won't you fire the dude?’ Manager discovers employee is stealing money, informs owner, only to have the stolen amount deducted from their pay for not stopping it

Although we love to judge managers here, being one is not an easy task. It is challenging to be responsible for multiple employees, as each step they take reflects directly to their manager. So when we hear stories of managers taking a hit because of something their employees did, we do feel for them, as we know that some managers are just trying to do their jobs as best as they can, just like the rest of us. When the manager (OP, original poster) in this story discovered one of their employees…

‘The CEO didn't like it’: Remote employee gets reprimanded after his daughter appeared on camera during a late-night meeting, leading employee to reconsider his position

Do you remember that one viral video in which a reporter reports live from his office and then his kid comes in the room, followed by their nanny, who panickly drags the kid out of the room, all while their father apologizes profusely to the viewers? If not, I largely advise you to watch it, because it is hilarious. I am bringing this video up because we could all relate to what happened in the video, and the humanity everyone showed in it. Since working from home became such an intricate part…

'Don't sing Happy Birthday to me: Steamrolling employee intentionally embarrasses her coworker, gets put in her place and publicly shamed by HR

We all have that ONE coworker… you know, the one who likes to push everyone's buttons, gets on everyone's nerves and seems like they intentionally dance on a razor's edge over HR technicalities. They're entitled as heckin' heck and it's as if their agenda and opinions are the only ones that matter in the workplace. I like to call this type of person an ‘extroverted steamroller’.

‘You're not my boss, don't question me’: Micromanager accuses employee of undermining his authority after they ask for help, employee quits and walks out mid-shift in response

‘You’re not the boss of me' is normally a sentence you would hear a child tell their parents or friends. You would not expect to hear this sentence in a workplace when a boss tells it to one of their employees. Yet, there are managers out in the world who behave like literal children in their workplace, and nobody bats an eye. They love their power, hate relinquishing control, and sometimes just bully their employees for fun. Take the boss in this Reddit story for example. OP (original poster)…
