Is being a psychic medium going to be the next ridiculous requirement for an entry-level role?

Guess what, people? It's Monday again.

It happens all too often in your life that you run into stupid obstacles created by obstinate individuals who, for some reason or another have managed to lodge themselves in a position of power. Maybe they just don't like you, maybe they don't like what you do, maybe they just don't like the color of your tie, or — maybe they're just drooling at a chance to exercise what little control they have over their stupid lives. Whatever the reason, these “leaders” make it their mission to act as an

Revenge is a dish best served muddy!

Nothing receives a coordinated response quite like an overly-stupid directive, especially when that directive is passed by a superior who everyone already intensely dislikes. Usually, there has been a long road of headaches caused by micromanagement before the subordinates reach this point —so the superior has it coming. When you're in charge, it's important to be specific, fair, and rational with your commands, especially in the military — where following orders is incredibly important and dri…

All is fair in love and war, and —if you're not willing to play by the rules — don't expect anyone else to either. This salesman was confronted with the dawning, horrible truth that he was going to be cheated out of his hard-earned commission when the company he had just begun working for started making excuses about why they weren't able to pay him out. The company had foolishly set a commission structure with an aggressive exponential curve; when the salesmen joined and blew all previous sale…

I smell a lawsuit coming...

There's no way this is legal.

Here's a rare satisfying story about a horrible boss getting what he deserved!

This supervisor got a rude awakening

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you —at least in some situations. It doesn't take one long to come up with multiple instances where following this ethos to the letter would create some incredibly unfortunate situations. Well, when this guy was demoted and forced to work for a “micromanaging sociopath,” he decided to demote his workplace and automated his job with an AI; the work was still being done —but he didn't have to do it. Honestly, this still sounds like a win-win situation…

This worker found themself faced with pushback from their boss when they decided to take a leave of absence to spend time with their girlfriend, who is in hospice care with not much time left. After “a few weeks” off, their boss began repeatedly attempting to get them to come back, texting them 13 times in the course of a week, insisting that there was “no way” someone could be in hospice for that long. They go on to express in their original post (items #1-9) the pressure they felt, how their…

Does this horrible boss seriously think this NDA is enforceable?

This restaurant owner is the definition of evil...

Manifesting traits and performing actions that squarely fall within a “Chaotic Evil” alignment is not a great business strategy. You're going to open yourself up to all kinds of legal and moral pitfalls that could result in your business being “canceled” or forced to close by authorities. Surprisingly, all too many owners think they're the “big bad” of a Dnd campaign and have become accustomed to feeling immune to consequences within their spheres of influence. Well, the party comes for you eve…

Just another employer who thinks they own their workers because they pay them the smallest amount that they're legally able…
