This employee thought she was pulling off some malicious compliance, but in the end, she just made things worse for herself.

Never mess with someone's sleep schedule!

Every workplace (especially nowadays) comes with its own issues. You can find yourself as a part of an understaffed team, in a toxic environment, with an awful boss… the possibilities are endless. The one sure thing is you never get proper compensation for it. If you call in sick, you're gonna feel the wrath of the invisible grimace your boss is making on the other side of the phone (Assuming you're not a texter). Apparently, you're not allowed to feel unwell, because you don't have enough cowo…

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…

This producer sounds like a living nightmare.

Is there anything more satisfying than bearing witness to an entitled person facing the fact that they have absolutely no power?

I wish I could say that this story ends with the partner being kicked out of their own firm and having to pay back the $10,000 worth of tickets they stole from their poor worker — alas, that's not always the way the world works. I love a good over-the-top revenge story as much as the rest of you — the kind of story that feels like it would be right at home in the pages of a classic Detective Comics comic book; complete with exclamations “Bang!.. Pow!" as the boss is getting their behind handed…

Sometimes, you know what's best, but your entitled boss simply doesn't.

It's always annoying when you get pulled up by a pedantic manager for being five minutes late without them even taking into consideration all of the times that you have been 15 minutes early. Oftentimes, even if you're early nine times out of ten, these types of managers will still write you up regardless. One of this supervisor's team members got pulled up by management for coming in five minutes late. It got back to the supervisor's direct boss, who instructed them to audit their clock-in and…

This employee just did what they were told to do...

If you're going to try and strictly enforce a rule, you'd better make sure that that rule is actually a rule first — otherwise, you're just opening a door that you might wish you had left closed. In this case, that door is a big hairy man rocking a tight pair of yoga pants. When this new manager joined the company, they made an immediate target out of the employee's uniforms; the original poster writes that they made a particular target out of the girls' yoga pants. This caring coworker thought…

It's surprising how colossal secrets are kept for so long within companies themselves, but more so when you think about how many employees have since left said company, and kept their mouths shut. Perhaps they signed an NDA, or they're afraid that they'll be sued regardless. Maybe they don't care, or they think others won't. Either way, it is of paramount importance for the world to find out about certain (bad) things, so that individuals can work together to put a stop to them. We all play an…

When you're in charge, it's important that you lead by example, setting the tone for how others should behave, conduct themselves, and work towards the business's goals. At this point, you're probably picturing a stoic, strong, silent, and hardworking; those are the qualities that society has taught us a leader should possess. But the reality is that a lot of “leaders” are lazy, petty, vitriolic, and prone to emotional outbursts. They're not in charge because they're a knight in shining armor a…

It's not every day that you get a chance like this thrust upon you—a chance for everything wrong in your life to suddenly sing to the symphonic rhythm of poetic justice. Well, this tech guy got exactly that chance when their boss told them that they needed to increase their sales with “No Exceptions.” This tech guy was working for an internet service provider as tech support when, one day, their boss came in and bizarrely told them that they needed to get their sales figures up. The tech guy wa…

There's something to be said here about following through on promises. When this company promised this worker a raise a year ago and then refused to follow through, all they were doing was stacking dominos that were ready to fall. It doesn't take that much effort to follow through on promises so it's hard to imagine what these idiots were thinking here. It doesn't seem unfair to expect a promised raise, especially in light of their contribution to dramatically increased production. Honestly, it…

This man-child sounds like the ultimate nightmare!
