‘My Old Boss Demanded I Put Domain Names on My Personal Credit Card. I Said No Problem, Then Quit.’ : Employee Sets Petty Terms When Company Begs for Domain Names They Forced Employee to Put On His Personal Credit Card

You may like your job, even be wildly good at it — but if your boss is constantly barking at you, adopting a flippant attitude and rude demeanor, then it doesn't matter. Simply put, this story is about an employee who had had enough of his horrible boss. He had been working at a construction company for a while, and his division was running a %44 profit margin which netted $750,000.00 USD a year. Within six months he'd already paid back the build-out, training, machines, equipment, etc… in othe…

‘You Want Me to Work More Hours for Less Money?!’ : Employee Get’s $2 Pay Cut as Part of ‘Promotion’ ; She Quits, Writes Up Complaint for HR, Instigating a Multi Meeting Series of Discussions, Leading To Petty Revenge

Getting promoted usually involves some kind of a raise, but in this case, it did not. A woman took to Reddit, shaming her ex-boss, who gave her extra responsibilities, which included working longer hours — for a $2 pay cut. Does it make sense? Of course not. But companies are greedy, what else is new…At the time, the employee didn't question it, because she needed the money. So even though she would technically receive less, she would still be working longer hours, therefore resulting in a bigg…

New Management Wants to Train Random Dude to Replace Essential Programmers, It Backfires

Management doesn't have any idea what you do; let's just get that out of the way. Sure good managers might be great at that higher level of planning, business relationship, and organizational-navigating junk… but when it comes to the actual production? When it comes to what you do ? It's all just numbers and words on a spreadsheet. And let's be real; it doesn't matter— nothing really matters in a modern company, so long as the money machine goes brrrr, that line on the chart goes up and investo…

Getting our bags checked is costing me my time after almost every shift

Power-tripping boss forces employees to wait up to 20 minutes after their shift to get their bags checked

Certain companies have a knack for treating their employees in embarrassing and dehumanizing ways—toxic policies ensuring that you hate every second you spend on their premises. Checking bags and searching for personal belongings is one of these policies. There's no reason for it unless you're dealing with high-security clearance. Why are you so worried that an employee is going to steal a pair of sneakers that were produced at literal slave wages?

'Update : told my boss I quit and he’s not going to pay me': Boss fabricates charges when employee quits to avoid paying them

"It's not personal, just business." companies love to say when enacting or enforcing an unpopular policy with their workforce—but it's incredible how personal it can get as soon as you hand in your notice. It turns out that power and control are actually a big part of what these employers love about their relationship with you… and they don't relish being told to relinquish that power.

"He made me go out and buy him a new pair of underwear because he said his were 'unlucky'": 25+ People share the craziest things their millionaire bosses spent money on

If you've ever worked for someone extra rich , which of their spending habits caused you to raise your eyebrows? People who have done just that gave us their input, and the answers are actually not what I expected. Apparently, lots of wealthy folks are so tight-fisted with their money that they almost live like they have no money . One person shared that even though their father is pretty wealthy, he never washes his clothes. Instead, he apparently just wears them a few times, then tosses them…

‘I Only Went Out to Lunch!’ : Karen Takes Car From Leasing Company for 2 Hour Test Ride Adding 60 Miles to Odometer, Ignores All Attempts at Means of Communication, Leading to Police Getting Involved

Like all establishments, an automobile company has rules and policies. It seems entirely plausible (generally speaking,) that people would understand a little thing called the 'rule of thumb'. AKA, the unspoken agreement. But unfortunately, not everyone is very bright. There are many possible conclusions one may come to when a car seemingly evaporates into thin air. When you disappear for two hours when taking a car out for a test drive, and ignore all of the staff's attempts at reaching out to…

It's funny how your boss will complain about the price of gas with you until you ask them for a rise so you can pay for said gas to get to work and now all of a sudden your boss doesn't think it's thaaaaaat expensive. Usually when you ask for a raise, before you even approach your boss or manager you gather all the reasons why you deserve it, show all the tangible work you have been doing, and try to prepare as best as you can to negotiate with confidence and stand your ground.

'I guess we're off then': Hardworking Hybrid Team Gets Payback on Micromanaging Boss After A Vicious Attack On Their Productivity

For decades, office employees have been prisoners of their cubicle, pretending to “work” whenever their boss walks by. Ever since the pandemic, a lot of jobs have realized the practicality of adjusting office scheduling and having their employees work remotely. Even though employees that work from home save costs for their company and are typically more productive, for some reason, companies are resistant to the idea. Perhaps they're obsessed with micromanagement? Managers either don't trust th…
