This boss doesn't care what his employees think, he wants to drive go karts with them. Go karts are so much fun that it's hard to blame u/tee_ran_mee_sue's boss for wanting to visit a racing track. Though you can find them at amusement parks, go karts aren't just for kids. Adults can live out their speed racing fantasies through these zippy little cars. You and a bunch of your pals can hop into the go karts and race through a tire-lined track to your heart's content. You know who doesn't care f…

When you start to feel yourself becoming the unappreciated cornerstone of your company, it might be time to consider other employment. Your managers might act like they have their ducks in a row, but they always seem to forget who's the one lining 'em up. If you have ever worked for a boss who never recognized your value in the workplace, you can probably relate to this next story.

Most days in the workplace are ordinary and routine, so when something out of the ordinary happens, it can make for a memorable shift. These people know that all too well — they replied to u/Murkantilism's question, “What is the craziest thing you've seen somebody do at the workplace?”

It doesn't seem like the management of this hospital was abreast with the issues within their team—that is until this nurse made them very aware of what was going on after being unable to endure her toxic coworker any further. Living with a coworker who is determined to catch you out at every turn is impossible. These narcissistic, psychopathic individuals will stop at nothing to ensure that they report you for each and every procedural technicality, no matter how exaggerated, minor, or flat-ou…

When a coworker is out to get you, it's not a simple task to evade them. Not only are you trapped in the workplace with this person, seeing their scowling face everyday, but it's not like you can just pressure them to quit. Or can you? In this case, one woman dealt with a vindictive workplace enemy by pulling an uno reverse on them, exposing their terrible work ethic and forcing them to face their lies.

It's often said that no one will appreciate the job you do until you're gone, and we've yet to see evidence otherwise. It's like being in the driver's seat of a race car; as long as you're driving that car, people will attribute the car's best performance to be owing to the car itself. It's not until you leave the team and another inferior driver takes your seat that people will realize how truly terrible the car is… and that your efforts were making the car appear better than it actually was.…

Office camaraderie is never stronger when you're pitted against an annoying coworker or boss . It really brings people together to know that you're both subject to the whims of a jerk who you can't do anything about. There are certainly better ways to build team camaraderie , but you work with what you have. This malicious compliance story comes from u/flavius_lacivious, who worked at a manufacturing plant in the shipping and receiving department . Unfortunately for them, they were surrounded b…

Imagine having a coworker so terrible that when you get a new management role and poach the members of your old team, your old HR manager actually gets mad at you for not poaching the awful one. That's a scenario that boggles the mind so completely it's hard to imagine this scenario actually playing out in real life. Yet, that's exactly what his manager reported experiencing in a story that they shared on Reddit. In their account of events, they tell how—a few months after leaving their old job…

A software support employee was surprised when their client accused them of not doing any work. But the employee definitely got the last laugh. Each workplace handles employee vacations differently. At some jobs, there are enough of your coworkers on hand that you can delegate your tasks for a few days while you soak up the sun on a beach somewhere else. At other places, you're expected to try and do extra work beforehand to prepare, and still other places will just let your work wait for you d…

If you were ever to get dismissed from a role for a serious infraction, it would be common sense never to use that role as a reference—yet, doing so speaks to the delusional fantasy world you must live in that got you into trouble in the first place. Whilst working as a retail manager, there was one person I ever had to fire for misconduct. Surprisingly, when that person then applied to our competitor months later, they used me as a reference… without giving me as much as a warning first. My re…

C-level management seems to forget that their ‘family’ of employees is really only working so they can get that money bag every two weeks. Despite their lofty claims that everyone's on the same team and needs to reach company goals, a lot of workers are starting to refuse to do more work unless they're financially compensated– as it should be!

These employees were baffled by the things their coworkers said. As you grow up, you realize that the public education system doesn't teach us everything — and in fact, plenty of people believe myths or are misinformed about things for years. U/see-bees decided to query the r/askreddit community when they asked, “What's the stupidest thing you've had to explain to a coworker?” In the comments, people roasted their coworkers, sharing the funny things they've said.

Bosses who insist on arbitrary dress codes are so annoying. Sometimes, dress codes are really important: for example, if you work in a hard hat area and need proper protective gear, or if you work in fast food and need nonslip shoes for those greasy floors. Those make sense. But this person's bosses seem to just like messing with their employees' wardrobes for no reason other than to have a power trip. U/Devils_av0cad0 wrote to r/Maliciouscompliance with an awesome tale of workplace compliance.…

Of all the many frustrating experiences that are waiting for you when you arrive at work, there is arguably none greater than a coworker who refuses to pull their weight. Without fail, their dragging of the chain will hold back the rest of their team, who will have to pick up the slack if they have any hopes of keeping projects on track and hitting KPIs—keeping the ever-watchful roving eye of management looking elsewhere and the team's heads off the chopping block. Still, after weeks, months—ye…

Working with insufferable coworkers is tantalizing on its own, but when your raunchy, abrasive colleague starts to test your patience with crude jokes and terse taunts, it's hard not to go full vigilante on them.

Every workplace has that one room that you can sneak off to to be on your phone. No matter how small your workplace is, there's a hidden corner for you to lean instead of clean , or to scroll your phone instead of having to answer the phone . You can take a minute just for yourself to collect yourself, have some water and a snack, and pretend you don't have 6 hours left of work. It's the little things that make a difference. It's good to take care of yourself, because we all know that lots of p…
