If you don't try to push the limits, you'll never know what you can get away with. That's apparently what these employees thought before they shrugged their shoulders and did some absolutely crazy things while on the clock. Many employees take pride in their work, and take care to show up in a nice outfit and have a good attitude. Others don't care that much. Their bosses are lucky if they show up a half hour late and are wearing their uniform. Some folks just live life day by day, and they'll…

This overnight caregiver probably had many late-night 14-hour shifts to imagine the perfect revenge against his CEO after discovering that the company was trying to hoodwink the workforce into relinquishing their right to their generous PTO policy. And that's a decision that will haunt the company's accountant's dreams for years to come after this thorough employee is finished with them in court…

Would you turn down $200k if you knew it would uproot your entire life, demolish your inner peace, and potentially send you spiraling?

It doesn't matter where you personally stand in your workplace environment; you do not owe anyone your food. This employee had a toxic coworker, who for the sake of this story was renamed Lisa. Lisa tended to look over the Redditor's shoulder at what they prepared for lunch. One day, the employee brought leftovers from her anniversary dinner with her husband. Of course, it took very little time for Lisa to notice and ask for a bite. This time, the employee didn't have very much left and refused…

These people have quit their jobs… and they have some really good reasons for that big decision! Up next, read about the exact opposite scenarios: these employees were fired on day one, for reasons like, “They are literally chasing a beaver around in their golf cart .”

This person's boss seems way too obsessed with what she's doing in her spare time. More specifically, her boss just cannot let her take any time off without bugging her constantly! Some managers are so obsessed with keeping their workplace running that they start treating the workers like they're robots instead of human beings. Robots never need a break, but humans do. Robots have no feelings, but people can be bothered by incessant demands from their bosses . That's why many companies provide…

In this world, there are two kinds of people: those who get their kicks from being the teacher's favorite and those who could care less about how they appear in the classroom. The story below is of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) was required to attend a training session with his colleagues. Even though OP had already completed a course that was identical to what his bosses mandated, he nevertheless eagerly participated. That being said, despite his regular attendance, he made a…

Another late night at the office, another doom scroll session to get you through it.

Retail workers should be paid, at minimum, $250k a year to deal with their silliest customers. Many low-paid jobs are underpaying their workers: the employees make minimum wage as they work incredibly hard and often under intense pressure from their managers. There are plenty of cushy office jobs that pay 6 or 7 figures each year, and these aren't even close to being as difficult as your average retail worker's job . Retail workers have to deal with the full range of humanity, from the super sw…

"What I'm getting from her [is] that I am being selfish and I should wait for everyone book theirs before mine."

What would your boss do if they found out you read books in your spare time? It's a pretty harmless item to have around the workplace, right? Many bosses would assume you brought that book to read during your commute or your lunch break. I'm sure many would prefer that to employees being on their phones anyway! But this person's boss found some books laying around the office, and she took that personally. This person's supervisor sounds like both a snoop and a micromanager. She went and searche…

Being fired from your job on day one should earn you some type of medal. It's a very special achievement after all. When managers are training a new employee, they expect them to mess up basically every task for a while. But you can't chock up everything to being unaware or untrained. Some things, like employees who can't focus on the job or those who berate the customers, have to go ASAP. Up next, read about a couple of the “worst lawyers ever," who got lazy when drafting a retirement document…

Requiring your employees to clock in at exactly their scheduled start time each day is guaranteed to add some extra stress into their lives. It's not as if most employees are trying to be late. Most of them are stuck in traffic or caught on a train that won't move. They rush into work as fast as they can—they might even sprint to make it!—but if they're even two or five minutes late , their boss is still going to be annoyed. All that rushing around to try to make it on time, and the boss still…

Doesn't work like that, lady

An employee recently shared how their entitled coworker slid into their DMs asking to borrow clothes for her sister's wedding so that she could save some money. The employee was new at the company and had barely known this coworker for barely a month, but thinking she was doing a good deed, she agreed to let her borrow one outfit. Now she's using this story to warn others to not befriend their coworkers on social media.
