‘I got cheated out of my raise’: Employee gets snubbed by boss who refuses to approve their raise, they go over boss's head and report him as payback

Unless you work directly under the company's actual CEO, it is always helpful to remember that even your boss has someone to answer to. It is quite comforting to know that if something unlawful or even unfair happens with your boss, there is always someone you can turn to. The person who wrote this Reddit story definitely remembered this piece of information, and used it, when they felt like their boss was doing something they should not be doing. OP (original poster), got this performance revi…

'Worst that happens is nothing': After getting rejected from a job, man sends an email to recruiter disagreeing with their decision, causing recruiter to retract the rejection

Every person who has even been through a job searching period got at least a dozen emails automatically rejecting them from a job. We all read the lines: 'We regret to inform you…', and we all know that most of the time, no one on the other end has glanced at your resume for longer than 10 seconds before deciding you are not a good fit. Very often, that rejection can come from job postings that are simply perfect for you, postings in which you check every single box they are after, but still yo…

'Consider this a warning [...] oops sorry, wrong person': Top 20+ baffling text messages and wrong numbers

'Consider this a warning [...] oops sorry, wrong person': Top 20+ baffling text messages and wrong numbers

Ironically, it turns our that texting can lead to some wild miscommunication… If you're a living, breathing human in 2024, you likely have an anecdote of your own that further proves this point. As for me, I cannot say that my text history has been all gone according to plan. I distinctly remember the terror I felt when I sent photos of a crush to that person and tried to cover it up to no avail. I remember texting an old friend who was visiting that I was dreading getting brunch with them, thi…

Company sends warning emails to employees who are ‘mouse jiggling’ instead of working, causing employees to look for other ways to avoid work: ‘I hope they are bluffing'

Company sends warning emails to employees who are ‘mouse jiggling’ instead of working, causing employees to look for other ways to avoid work: ‘I hope they are bluffing'

No full-time employee truly works for 8 hours a day. It is actually scientifically proven that most employees get around 3-5 hours of work done in a day, which means that most employees also have around 3-5 hours a day in which they basically do nothing. For people who work from home, it is supposedly much easier to avoid doing work, because you have no one to physically monitor you while you are meant to be working. This fact has brought on a phenomenon called ‘mouse jiggling’, which describes…

Top 20 Poorly Constructed Kitchens, Bathrooms, and DIY Projects

Every so often, one finds oneself confronting a DIY project so poorly constructed and inconceivably designed that it begs the question: what were they thinking? These baffling moments apply to public places as well. For instance, there are only so many ways to design a functioning public restroom… so why do so many of these bathrooms involve flaws like stall doors that are so exposing that one simply cannot use them? You would think someone would test these out before signing off on the project…

'We all do it, but don't TELL them': Woman spends first date listing off her date's personal information, date feels like their "privacy was violated"

First dates can be rough. You're probably using a dating app to meet up with that person based off a few photos and a couple of sentences about themselves. You're meeting someone who's basically a stranger to you. No matter how many people you share your location with, or how many friends you have on board to call you if it goes wrong, it can still be super intimidating to go on first dates . On a lot of dating apps, last names aren't available for everyone to see. But that would never stop som…

Have you ever met someone who’s so misinformed about things that you start doubting them yourself?

Yes, that’s a real thing that u/ChanceFray was told by their oddball roommate. They aren’t the only person who’s had some funny encounters with people who just weren’t very bright.

'I very sternly requested that they arrest my mother': 20+ Kids who called 911 for the silliest reasons

Accidentally calling emergency services is basically a rite of passage for toddlers. It seems like almost everyone has a story about the time they or their sibling grabbed their parent's phone and managed to call 911. It doesn't take much effort to accidentally hit that emergency button. Instead of watching a YouTube video on Dad's phone or playing games on Mom's iPad, that toddler has magically discovered that they called an emergency helpline. They're delighted to have a new friend to talk to…

‘They thought they were being smart’: Entitled diners get kicked out of restaurant after server catches them bringing outside drinks and disguise them as the restaurant's

Some people really don't have any common sense, and it shows. Or even worse, they expect the entire world to cave to their wishes simply because, and they do not care that rules are there for a reason, they just do whatever it is they want to do. Most restaurants enforce a rule that states that diners cannot bring their own food in, usually because of health code regulations, and that makes perfect sense. You come into a restaurant in order to eat and drink there, not because you want a bench t…

'How could you not foresee this?': Manager forbids security guard from letting visitors enter office without his approval, guard complies, causing manager to miss important meeting when he fails to answer his phone

Some people simply don't have common sense, or even the smallest ability to predict the consequences of their absurd decisions and actions. Unfortunately, a lot of those people end up in high management positions. That means that anyone who has to answer to those managers, sometimes has to comply with unreasonable demands they know would end in disaster, but there is not much they can do about it. Take the manager in this Reddit story for example. They decided to forbid their security guard fro…
