This CEO is about as foolish as you can get. You don't have to tell that to his employees, like u/Chairfighter, who have to put up with his shenanigans no matter what the cost. They just have to roll their eyes and do what the higher-ups say. After that, read about the funniest sleepwalking or sleeptalking incidents people have ever witnessed, such as: “One kid shouted 'I SEE THE LIGHT!' and then sleepwalked into a wall .”

Everyone has infuriating days at work. Whether you're in the office and the technology is not doing what it's supposed to be doing, or if you are a construction worker battling the scorching summer heat, we all have rough days on the job. But what about factory workers? It's a whole different ballgame. From employees working the assembly line to drivers trying to steer the forklifts, there's a lot that can go wrong, and if someone messes up, it can be a big deal that throws off production and...

There are some things in life that just make sense… and not messing with the spicy death wires when you don't know what you're doing with them is one of them. It makes perfectly logical sense that, rather than playing “Operation” where instead of a startling buzzer sound and a light-up nose the penalty for failure is your own untimely fiery demise, you should just let the guys who know what they're doing do it. Sure, electricians get flack for being grosly overpaid for what they're actually doi…

If there's anything to learn from this story (and the comments), it's not to mess with a forklift driver. The OP was doing his usual day-to-day job of stacking pallets with a forklift. In enters an entitled sales rep, who parked his BMW on the loading dock. It was the OP's job to make sure that the dock was clear, so he chased down the representative to politely ask him to move his car to the car park. But the entitled guy was not having it. He made a snarky comment, essentially saying he was...

This employee is just following directions. If their boss's directions happen to be flawed, well, that's not their problem. You've got to act your wage sometimes. Quality Assurance is one of those processes that separates great products from those that are okay or poor. If you've ever bought a frozen dinner and found a hair in it, and then vowed to never buy from that brand again, you know how important this step is. There are some brands that you know you'll have a positive experience with eve…

For the rest of our lives, we can work ourselves to the bone every day and never receive credit for our commitment and hard work. Nobody can argue, though, that there is nothing better in the world than that moment of triumph when we are finally acknowledged and validated. The story below is of a hardworking and underappreciated CNC mechanic. OP, also known as Bobby, is the highest-producing mechanic in the company. However, it is important to note that his outstanding performance is a product…

Just because your coworker has the same job as you does not mean that they will put in an equal work effort, and that can, at the very least, lead to very complicated and nuanced situations that will keep you up at night, staring at the cracks in your ceiling — OR, if you are lucky, it can also lead to them getting fired. People like to take credit, but they don't like to work. And this case is no different… One lady was working as a senior employee at a factory, barking orders at her coworker,…

This is such a satisfying story (for workers, not bosses). One employee shared this story from a company they used to love, but which quickly went sour after a merger . Despite what managers or HR want to tell you, mergers aren't often positive developments for the current employees. U/allgoodnamestaken98 writes that at the factory they were working at, a merger caused a great workplace to tank, all because three different managers were each trying to prove they were the best. This boss told hi…

Innovation is never rewarded in the workplace. For some reason, bosses, managers, and supervisors feel entitled to the intellectual property of their employees when they're on the clock, but when an irreplaceable worker creates something invaluable to the company, suddenly it's like we're on the recess blacktop again and the school bully is trying to steal your jump rope because 'they saw it first'...

One retired lawyer spilled the beans to u/necronboy and some other factory workers back in the 90s, about 30 years ago, at a ‘End of the year break-up party’, as OP called it. This corporate lawyer recounted his most memorable case in all his years of working, and it had everyone listening with bated breath, impressed at his unique storytelling skills (hey, he is a lawyer, after all). According to OP, this was the greyest man you had ever seen, from his suit, to his hair, to his skin, and the y…

People often ponder what ‘being cheap’ looks like in a company, and it is strongly apparent that those particular people do not work in cheap companies. In too many places, bosses love to assign their employees extra work, giving them multiple jobs to do that don't necessarily fit their job description, and cheap out on hiring somebody else to do what needs to be done. Most of the time, they get away with it. But every so often, an employee shows them who is boss, by maliciously complying to a…

When the boss was out for two weeks, this company didn't make a single pair of glasses the right way. It all could have been avoided if this supervisor would just listen to his employees! Even though c-suite executives make the big bucks, they're rarely as in tune with the company as other employees. Especially in a place like a factory , the employee who works on the machines each day knows way more about the current state of things than a supervisor who lounges in a room alone all day. Even s…

The entire point of a quality control officer in a manufacturing plant is to ensure that the products aren't defective. Literally, the only reason this checkpoint exists is to weed out terrible products and prevent them from going to the client. So what is a QC employee supposed to do when their boss tells them to stop doing their job? Maliciously comply of course.

'You gotta risk it to get the biscuit' may be one of the greatest tropes of all time for risk-takers, go-getters, and people who are known for absolutely sending it. Like the football legends of yore, skydivers on their first solo flight, or the self-proclaimed ‘disruptors’ of the world, this phrase is a basically a commandment. However, what is the proverbial 'biscuit' even worth these days? Is it worth your life?

It's 2023, y'all, it's time to not take any crap from your employers. Oh, they're yelling at you and gaslighting you and making everything your fault even though they have been nothing but unhelpful, disrespectful, and just right out a jerk? Well, you stand up and GTFO of there. Stand tall, say your goodbyes, and walk on out with your head held high. You deserve better than selling your soul to a person who sees you as gum under their shoe. Sometimes it's better to work at a Chipotle with cowor…
