Some people are virtuous, generous, adhere to a certain standard of morals. On the other side of the spectrum, you have the stingy, selfish leeches that seize any opportunity they can to take advantage of the first party of people mentioned. An employee was collecting money for their well-liked boss, who was feeling unwell for some time when a woman named 'Linda' decided not to pitch in. Instead of saying she wasn't going to pitch in, she just pretended that she was. OP didn't push it, and Lind…

Sometimes an inappropriate action deserves the appropriate response; it's the simple laws of cause and effect acting out their parts. This is how it was when worker u/elena247 's coworker decided to execute the clever ploy of bringing their dirty dishes to work to have others wash them. When u/elena247 discovered what their coworker was up to, they decided the appropriate response was to introduce the dirty dishes to the trash can. Sounds like a reasonable course of action to us. It's hard to i…

It's incredibly frustrating when someone in your workplace gets away with downright obscene behavior, and no one is doing a thing about it. You might think that that's what the HR department is for, but in a lot of organizations, they're content to sit on their hands and let the worst offenders get away with anything but murder—just as long as they don't have to deal with any conflict or rocking boats. As a manager, this can present an incredibly difficult problem; you can be as accommodating a…

This coworker was being such a micro-manager that this person was ready to start yelling at him.

This unfortunate receptionist has found themself in a hairy situation with their coworker! You can choose your job, but you can't choose your coworkers . This person is honestly being very kind after witnessing their coworker do something pretty concerning, because they didn't run to their boss (yet). As the OP, using an appropriately named account called u/hairgag, shared this harrowing tale to r/AmItheA**hole. The OP works as an art museum receptionist , greeting guests and selling tickets. T…

Getting contacted by an old workplace is a lot like running into an ex-lover. There's all this history of shared trauma and buried emotions of all sorts on either side. You had so much intimate knowledge of them once, but now they're a complete stranger. There might be some longing and regret but, deep down, you know it's better that you went your separate ways. This Redditor, u/AcrolloPeed, shared their story of an experience like this to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady subreddit community. The c…

Don't start your Monday without this pack of memes from people who are also dragging themselves to work once more. Every workplace has its' ups and downs. Maybe you hate your boss but love your coworkers, or perhaps you have a great team, but super annoying clients are breathing down your neck. When you all have to be crammed into the same workplace for 40 whole hours every single week, it's easy to get fed up with it all. Below are a collection of relatable memes regardless of which industry y…

The number of toxic workplaces these days might exceed infinity, but these are some of the more shocking ones we've seen this week.

The thing about taking over a business your family owns… is that you might not know anything about that business or have any of the skills and experience necessary to manage it. Couple this with an uncompromising ego and a general sense of entitlement, and you've got yourself a nightmare boss in the making. We've seen this exact scenario play out time and time again: "A new owner takes over a business that they are hilariously unqualified to run and proceeds to gut the company of its most essen…

This one is for the employees with one foot out the door.

Getting roasted on your own Reddit post is a sure sign that you have messed up somewhere. You have every chance to twist the entire narrative of a chain of events in your own story to suit your own ends… and somehow, you still manage to turn everyone against you? It's certainly not something we see every day, and if it happens to you, you need to go home and rethink your life. This worker and Reddit user shared their story to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, thinking they had a clever story…

In a divisive post, one employee asked if he was actually the bad guy for spoiling his own workplace birthday party . In the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, people usually decisively call the OP an a**hole or not. But in this case, commenters are split on the etiquette involved in this dude's scenario. The OP wrote that he's having a rough few weeks – expensive car troubles, a pounding headache, and because he forgot to take his birthday off work, he had to go in. Once he got there, he felt depresse…

There are many red flags to watch out for in relationships, but your coworkers' opinions should not be at the top of the list.

Put incompetent management and a travel budget in the same room, and this will be the result. This man's company wanted to save £80 on a work trip he had to go on, and being one of the biggest security companies in the world, they could have easily absorbed the cost, no question. But alas, someone in the head office wanted to talk a big game, and look good, possibly to get that promotion they so dearly desired. So they looked at cutting travel costs and changed OP's flight. Apparently, this per…

Entitlement comes in many forms in this life.

The correct response to an employee doing good work outside of their job title is ‘thank you’, but there was one supervisor who has apparently lived under a rock his whole life, instead getting mad at an employee who did exactly that. See, this employee was working at a construction company, his job title being related to inventory. He quickly became good at it and took it upon himself to study the company's cloud-based ERP service that they used for all internal and external transactions. He q…
