Hiring managers are really on the frontlines when it comes to catching any risky candidates that might otherwise fool a company into hiring them with a well practiced, entirely fake nice demeanor. The last thing anyone wants to end up dealing with is an employee who is only there because they have some kind of family connection. It's those family connections that can end up inviting the laziest and most entitled of folks into a company. 

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that we've encountered a tale involving a company failing to recognize one of their employees for what they're worth, and we highly doubt it'll be the last time. Fortunately though, this little emotional rollercoaster has a happy ending. Those cheap payroll departments can get to be quite spendy. 

There's a type of business that makes itself deliberately hard to navigate just so they can charge weird fees. Some companies will even hide or delay just how much interest they've charged just to bully customers into paying for late fees they didn't even know existed. Navigating the corporate landscape as one person can be an absolute nightmare, but after dealing with the absurd process of paying their own mortgage, this person realized they didn't have to put up with the nonsense. For another tale of financial absurdity, here's a guy who got hounded for a trivial debt and ended up mailing them a dime.

These customers sound like they came in on a mission to be discontented with whatever the bartender served up, and did for them. So, the bartender served them up a couple big glasses -- as per request -- of exactly what they ordered. Were they just trying to get more wine, with that little request? Maybe. 

Recruiters are in the positions that they are because they've been professionally trained to sift through the patches of candidates that are doing whatever they can to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through vivid descriptions of their professional exploits, and occasional fabrications to make their lives seem that much grander. So, if you find yourself realizing that you've been employing some of the deceptive resume tactics present in this AskReddit thread, it might be time to rethink the strategy. 

You've got to love the terribly vindictive nature of the company involved in this rather absurd unfolding of events. After they clearly lose a case that they never needed to start up in the first place, they just have to throw out some more unnecessary animosity before it's all said and done. As for the IT guy misunderstanding the bad mouse report, it can happen to the best of us. Sounds like he was merely caught up in all of his company's nonsense. For another tech support tale, check out the time that an owner fired the whole IT department, and the sabotage that ensued. 

In any system that claims it pays you based on your output, it's important to know what you're worth, and 80 cents is something most people would see as an insult. This person weighed his options and decided what a better use of his time would be. It's not uncommon for employers to make workmore difficult than it has to be, as evidenced by situations that made people go "screw this, I'm out." For more shenanigans over miniscule amounts of money, here's a dude who got hounded over trivial debt and ended up mailing them a dime.

Anyone who has a twin knows that having a family member who looks exactly like you can result in some hilarious, if not panic-inducing situations. It sounds like the dude on the other end of this interaction had no idea just how close he was to taking some pepper spray to the face. For some more humorous, twin-inspired content check out this AskReddit thread about the best switcharoos that twins were able to pull off. 

This isn't the first time that we've read a story about an egotistical manager coming into a scene, trying to make improvements around the company, and then ending up having the whole thing backfire terribly. The moral of the story here is to never mess with Sandra. Also, apparently sometimes group projects actually end up working out. 

Some of the happiest folks you might cross paths with in this crazy thing we call life, are the folks that managed to immerse themselves in the gigs that they don't even feel like calling "work" in the first place. If you're able to lock down a job that genuinely feels like it's play more than anything else, you've pretty much got the golden ticket. 

Oh man, the enforced clapping sounds like nothing short of a waking air-conditioned nightmare. These managers ended up firing the last guy they ever should've fired. From there the revenge was professional and utterly devastating. Fair to say that he absolutely ended up coming out on top. Check out another pro revenge tale with this bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

Sometimes the best way to get through to a company that stubbornly insists on not listening, is to orchestrate an en masse walkout. This particular coworker sounds like a real nightmare to share a professional working space with. 

It's all about knowing your labor laws. There are a terrible amount of companies out there in the wild that are preying on various employees that haven't read up on their labor laws. Knowledge is power, man. 

Oh boy, what we have here is a brutal demonstration of blatant dishonesty. It seems like this woman's friend is waving all kinds of red flags, and wouldn't be the ideal person to end up working with. With that being said, she decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community, and they seem to be in agreement that she ultimately made the right call. 

The internet's never been in short supply of people dishing out gnarly stories of maniacal managers and the righteous revenges that ensued. With that being said, what fun it is to come across a new subreddit dedicated to calling out management for being uncool to their employees. Check out another ridiculous manager story with this lazy Karen manager who let everything fall to pieces. 

Man, the coworker dramas will seemingly never end. You put some people together in a confined space, and you're almost guaranteed to have tensions arise at one point or another. Especially when you have entitled coworkers like the one in this story that show all the signs of having some serious boundary issues.
