Every single person in the world had a package misdelivered at some point. It's a right of passage to adulthood, you simply can not argue with that. But, the question of who's at fault when that happens, and who is to blame, is a completely different issue. Well, 99% of the time it's the delivery company's fault, that is why people don't like them. But on some occasions, they actually do a decent job. Like in this Reddit story, in which a post office worker had to deal not only with a Karen, bu…

Every so often, an entitled hotel guest comes along, thinking they can outsmart the front desk manager. However, time and time again, their schemes fail. It seems they underestimate the experience of hotel employees who have truly seen it all. In this particular incident, an entitled guy attempted to rent a room for two hours and then sought a refund, insisting he never used the room. The irony was that the bed was left unmade, and he had forgotten his phone charger in the room. Not the most su…

Nobody likes being late for work. First of all, because it is extremely stressful. The entire way to work is a race against time, you keep glancing at the clock like it might make time move slower, and once you get to work you need an extra 10 minutes to relax enough so you'll be able to properly work. Then you also have the impression you want to make on your boss, and being late is never a good look on you. Even so, it happens to everyone and a lot of the time it happens because of things you…

This Karen story takes an unexpectedly wholesome turn while still having a satisfying dose of malicious compliance. In this office, there's a classic work Karen—a woman who takes joy in being condescending, takes credit for others' achievements, and eagerly throws colleagues under the bus.

The business world is cruel. They take great pride in their well-known motto, which emphasizes the value of family and how they treat their staff as one large, happy family. But when the chips are down, who gets pushed aside first? Yes, exactly. Think about that for a moment. The story that follows is from a dissatisfied hotel employee.

When a fight between two customers breaks out in a place like a restaurant or a bar, there are a few ways in which that scenario could end. Either both customers get kicked out, one of them gets kicked out, or none of them. In my time as a waitress, I had to ask a few customers to leave the restaurant, and it was never a pleasant experience. Most people just won't accept that they are in the wrong, no matter how much you try to calmly explain to them what is the problem. This Reddit story is ac…

A pleasant workplace environment and a good relationship with your coworkers are some of the most important things you need in a job. Think about it, you see these people for at least 8 hours, every day, 4 to 5 days a week. It won't be an exaggeration to say you spend more time with them than you do with your own family. If you don't get along, it can really affect not only your work but your personal happiness. The woman in this Reddit story has to deal with pretty unfriendly people in her off…

So you think this job is beneath you?

Sometimes you need to quit because you're not getting paid enough for the work you do. Sometimes you are getting paid well for the work you do, maybe even over the usual market value for your position, but if the work environment is making you miserable, you still need to quit. Obviously, it's up to you, do whatever you want, but are you seriously okay with having to endure such a volatile place for such a a huge chunk of your life? One banker said enough is enough.

Working in a corporate setting sometimes means having to silently give in to senior management. Whether or not we agree with their business tactics is irrelevant; what matters is that we ease their burden by complying with all of their requests without causing any trouble. The story below is an account of a bookkeeper who works for a huge home improvement store. For whatever reason, despite the rigorous hours, upper management insisted for years that bookkeepers close and open the store. To put…

It's only natural to get curious about how much your coworkers are making, but there is a fine line between being nosy and literally opening up the envelope with their paycheck in it. Albeit, this employee was young, but that doesn't excuse her behavior… She was in college but was working for OP, at a tanning salon in her free time, trying to make some extra cash on the side. Being the snoop she was, she opened up everyone's envelopes to see their pay. Don't try this at home, you WILL get fired…

Anytime there's a contest at a minimum wage job, it seems like whatever corporate baboon who thought of the idea has never actually stepped foot into the establishment they're attempting to manipulate. As out of touch as corporate contests are and no matter how pathetic the 'prize' is, there are still desperate employees who take part in the event. But the real winners, at the end of the day, are always the C-level suit monkeys counting their bonus checks and buying yachts.

We've all heard about the underwhelming gifts companies sometimes give their employees—whether it's a questionable free breakfast, an after-hours company party where you're expected to contribute a dish, or a mediocre pen. Those in corporate America have pretty much seen it all. However, one woman discovered a significant mistake in the company's finances that could have cost them millions of dollars. Going above and beyond, she thoroughly investigated the numbers and was proven right. Despite…

It may seem trite to some, but there's a certain point in every employee's life when their fragile work/life balance begins to crumble around them and it starts becoming clear that happiness is more important than money. Whether you're a seasoned C-level at a company or a lowly intern, some jobs just simply aren't worth the emotional damage every day. Sure, we all want to put food on the table, but at what cost? Some of us just need a win… Like the guy in our next story…

Sure, we all know the basic societal niceties—say please and thank you, don't interrupt someone when they're talking, chew with your mouth closed, let pregnant women and senior citizens have the seat on the bus, etc. But when is it appropriate to stand your ground and overstep those normal “niceties?" Well, according to Reddit , it's when you're quitting. This employee made the decision to himself that he was going to quit months ago. The job was all kids of messed up internally, and he was get…
