This hardworking employee used their jilted past to fuel a resignation fire that would burn down the entire company, taking this lazybones, absentee boss with it.

This person really knows when to walk away from a job that's no good for them anymore. They happen to have impeccable timing! Some managers at retail stores will do the absolute bare minimum. A lot of them have been in retail for ages, and they feel they've earned the privilege of getting off the sales floor and cocooning themself in a back room to goof off for their whole shift. It's apparently their prerogative to do so… but their employees aren't happy about it! Instead of getting help from…

This restaurant was so strict that these workers just couldn't take it anymore. There's only so much you can ask from someone before they finally call it quits and decide to find employment somewhere better. Next up, there are a ton of bizarre things for sale online , like one person who's getting rid of their “Free rooster… I'm scared to go near him, he's aggressive towards people.” What a deal!

What are the professional rules on “take-backsies”?

Training the new person requires an endless supply of patience. They're going to have lots of questions, make a ton of mistakes, and they'll take up a lot of the time that you've set aside to do your own work. It's also really rewarding to train a new person if they're learning at the right speed. But this person wasn't happy about their trainee. U/ForceAccomplished890 was training the person who was going to replace them! They knew that their boss really disliked them (never a good position to…

Most people in this world fall into two camps: Those out to make things better for everyone and those in it for their own gain and to meet their own ends. Sure, this concept sounds quite reductive (it is), and the reality is things aren't quite so black and white… It's more than likely people will play to both sides depending on their current needs and motivations. Still, ultimately, I maintain that if you distilled people down to their true purpose and intention, you'd find the original statem…

This is your sign to ask for that raise, and don't you dare lowball yourself!

Have you ever messed up at work before? A lot of us have, whether we let a project slip through the cracks, forgot we had to give a presentation, or even forgot to mute our mics during a video call. We're human; it happens. But what about a fail so bad your coworkers still bring it up years later? Or a work fail so embarrassing you had no choice but to change jobs? These are the kinds of mistakes that become office legends, the stories that get told and retold at every company gathering. Imagin…

Sometimes, enough is enough.

You'd have to be pretty uncaring, have a lot of audacity, and think that you have absolute control over someone to think that they'd be willing to do the same job with a 30% cut to pay. Heck, even if the worker was willing to take the pay cut, you'd have to know that they would probably be looking for work elsewhere and reducing their output. While this would be common sense to most of us it apparently wasn't to this employer who probably looked something similar to a “surprised pikachu” meme w…

When you go into a new job and realize immediately that you're not going to be happy, is it better to quit on the first day or give it some time?

Sorry boss, the damage is done.

Bad bosses can't have their cake and eat it too!

Greedy companies are gonna greedy, but karma still gonna karma.

So you're stuck at an awful job, and you can feel the pressure of it starting to build up. Day after day with an overbearing boss, or maybe you have the world's worst coworkers who won't stop bothering you at your cubicle. Some bosses refuse to respect your time off, meaning you're constantly checking your phone and emails even when you're off the clock. You start to daydream about quitting . Maybe you start looking around on job sites to see what's out there. If you don't quit soon enough, you…

When someone ruins what could have otherwise been a great job for you, there's no better feeling than helping them on their way to unemployment as well. This worker made the tough decision to leave a job they loved due to the unbearable attitudes of the workgroup's executive directors, who had a propensity for taking credit for others' work and rewarding themselves for doing so while deriding those workers who had actually done the work for them. After being accused of underperformance in what…
