Older generations think that millennials and Gen Z have no work ethic. Obviously that's not true across the board, it's just that younger folks aren't inclined to work for jobs with no benefits, living wages, or humanity. One millennial recently got accused of faking being sick at work to get out of his shift, even though he had a fever, chills, and was violently ill in the bathroom.

When you get distracted when you work from home, managers will consider you an unproductive employee. When you work in an office, those same distractions are called “company culture”.

We all know that feeling when you're at work and you feel like you're being watched. Well, turns out this employee actually was being spied on at all times. Her boss was looking at the security cameras regardless of whether or not she was actually in the office. First of all, let's start our breakdown with the fact that this horrible boss needs to get a life of her own. You know there's a problem when people on Reddit are recommending that OP check her country's surveillance laws. As for the wo…

This boss must have attended the "Michael Scott School of Business Management" because this is a joke taken right out of his playbook and, just like Michael Scott, he let this joke go on for way too long. This employee wasn't having any of it and decided to file grievances against the boss. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit on the evening of April Fool's Day. The poster u/--Savathun-- told the story of the cruel prank that their boss pulled by telling them, in a way that s…

Instant karma is coming for these bad managers and other impolite people, whether they like it or not! In this classic r/AskReddit post, u/barrygibb first told their own story of exceptionally instant karma. Then, they asked for people to sound off in the comments with their own stories! Lots of people shared work stories , like one baker who put their boss in an awkward position after the baker decided to leave, taking their finest recipes with them. Meanwhile, other people posted some awesome…

When you were hired and they said you had a competitive salary, what they really meant was that your salary was always going to be competing with your bills. With inflation up like this and eggs costing a much as a gallon of gas, how many of us have asked for a raise in the last 3 months?

Malicious compliance can quickly get ugly and lead to you getting fired… if you're not careful. This employee made sure he had a long paper trail to cover his own tracks when the inevitable ‘You’re fired' meeting arrived. He made sure he had someone to point the finger at, and in this case, it was his boss, who didn't hesitate to throw him under the bus when HR got involved. The employee worked at a call center that had a ticketing system they used to escalate cases to different teams. Sometime…

It's nice to feel valued for your work and know that your employer understands that you're important to their business, though you might hope it wouldn't take handing in your notice to find that out. You might also prefer that this was communicated to you in a way other than through your old boss calling your would-be new employer to accuse them of “poaching." Alas, some people just don't know how to communicate properly. Maybe they never learned, maybe they just don't care… maybe they aren't e…

We hear a lot about bad bosses, so today, let's turn the tables and see why these bosses had to fire their employees for particularly outrageous behavior. Bosses of Reddit joined in to share the actually crazy reasons they had to let their employees go. In any workplace, there are going to be your share of Perpetually-Late-Patties and Fake-Call-Out-Freds. But these employees took it one step further. They didn't just toe the line, they jumped over it. I saved my favorite story for last — a stor…

We love a triumphant ending in which ruthless managers at a company get exactly what they deserve. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/baka-tari , a new manager who was brought in to oversee a team that included Willie. Willie made a comment about the uncomfortable layout of the office that rubbed the other managers the wrong way. So, essentially, they attempted to blacklist Willie and find a way to keep him from getting other opportunities in other departments. The…

With more experience comes more opportunities and better pay… Unless you're a contractor, who was ghosted by a client at the start of the pandemic that has suddenly rematerialized and requested your services once again. You might expect that you'd be receiving at least the rate that you were on previously—although it might be foolish to make this assumption without getting it in writing—and return to working at that rate. That's what happened when this healthcare contractor, u/Kind-Designer-576…

Here's a lesson to all managers out there: you don't want to make enemies with the person who has been essentially doing your job for you for over a year.

Pretty please?

Shockingly, it appears that the Gen X and Millennials finally agree on something...

Liars get on everybody's nerves, there is just something so frustrating about it, especially when you know the truth of the matter. When you hit someone's car in a parking lot, it's completely appropriate that the other person demands you provide your insurance information. It's even the law. But some folk didn't get the memo, such as this entitled executive. Yep, a coworker hit u/ohhgrrl's car, and blatantly denied it to her face. Where she gets the nerve, I don't know. In any case, OP was rig…

This guy managed to find a way to get paid during an unpaid lunch break.
