There's nothing worse than going to a bar and encountering a group of intoxicated people being disruptive and picking fights with anyone who crosses their path. This was exactly the scene one customer found himself in, sitting next to an entitled and drunken Boomer, whom he quickly dubbed a "Karen." The customer, a regular at the bar and friends with the bartender, shared his story of that chaotic night and the Karen's satisfying karma. The Karen in question was causing a scene, screaming and a…

You don't have to be a lawyer to know that a contract is one of the most important concepts humans have come up with. You also don't have to be a historian to know that it is one of the first social concepts humans have come up with. It is a massively important social construct that has allowed communities over the centuries to build and live in peace and so it should not be taken lightly. When one first starts a job, the very first thing they should be doing after accepting it is to sign a con…

How many times do things need to go wrong in order for bosses to listen to their employees? This painter tried to warn his boss that using water-based paint on metal would cause the metal to rust. Of course, he was not only ignored, but his boss was insistent that he follow her orders. Well, the painter decided to comply but was smart enough to get it in writing that he was ordered by his boss to use this specific paint. Let's just say it was not the right time for his boss to flex her authorit…

Being able to leave an honest review on anything is one of the most beneficial tools of the internet. Building a community that wants to share their experiences for the sake of other people is an advantage that we should appreciate much more than we do. Take your workplace for example. In many companies, there are hundreds of employees who go through their work day in the offices and have a working relationship with coworkers and management. When an employee leaves, they should have the opportu…

Just because something is technically allowed does not mean you should do it. Tell this to most toxic bosses in the workforce. That's exactly what this credit union employee did. Unsurprisingly, she was the only worker on her team who had enough of a moral backbone to refuse to trick customers and collect unnecessary lawsuit money. This new policy was pitched by a spineless Karen coworker, who found a loophole in state policy and exploited it to no end. When this employee refused to take part i…

Well, we're at work. Now what? Faced with a daunting pile of tasks on our desks, we find ourselves procrastinating, desperate to do anything else to delay our responsibilities. It's a familiar scenario: you sit down on a Monday morning to tackle that project or report, but somehow, you end up scrolling through anything but work. The clock ticks and your to-do list remains untouched, growing more intimidating by the minute. But what if you could transform this procrastination into a brief, refre…

Honestly, has upper or regional management ever volunteered to fill in for a weekend shift? This wouldn't be the first time that an upper manager pulled something like this, going with the old “you have to make sacrifices to go along with your rank” and ignoring the fact that they're not actually paying their “manager” the industry standard for their role, let alone enough to match the gravitas that they're placing on it. Further, they're conveniently forgetting the fact that they're a manager,…

Always document everything!

For this worker, the only thing more infuriating than being underpaid was finding out that others were making much, much more money. In case no one's told you lately, you should discuss your salary with your coworkers. Even when—no, especially when—it's very awkward, you should still bring it up politely. You and your coworkers may benefit from it. If you all know what you're making, you have the ability to question your bosses about your value to the company compared to others. Higher-ups don'…

Bold is the coworker who calls out, then posts their beach day to their Instagram story. Why people do this baffles the mind. Why would you call out of work sick and then go out on the town, leaving a digital footprint behind you? Or worse still, the person goes out to their own workplace, as if their boss will welcome them with a big smile instead of a writeup . The bosses of Reddit decided to reveal the craziest things that their worst employees ever did in response to u/RoryC's question. The…

Just because something seems standard does not make it justified. This employee was told that because of the school policies in their district (they work in the education sphere), they needed to re-apply for the positions they had been working in for the past year. But don't worry: it gets worse. They were also informed that this time around, they will likely have trouble because of “seniority.” So, this employee reacted like any sane person would in this situation; they thought, “What is the p…

Every employee wants to prove themselves in their workplace, if not for their own sense of accomplishment, then so they can prove to their managers that they are hard workers and are worthy of future promotions and reinforcement. The problem is, that there is a very thin line between proving your worth and being exploited, and managers love to cross that line in order to get more out of their employees, without having to pay for it. It seems like the employee in this Reddit story has also been…

Imagine gathering for a company meeting and hearing about all the great work everyone's doing, only to be asked to take massive pay cuts. This was not exactly the greatest display of a healthy company culture. Essentially, this executive at the company, who rarely shows her face and has next to no relationship with the Redditor and the other coworkers on their team, decided that the best way for the company to remain healthy was for everyone to elect a certain amount of money to be deducted fro…

Imagine getting yelled at for simply following directions. This couple walked into a restaurant and headed over to the bar to get some drinks before finding a place to sit. When they walked up, five boomers were standing in a line, waiting for their turn, when there were clearly five open registers. The couple noticed the sign placed directly in the middle of the bar that said, 'Do NOT line up. Just come to a register, and we will help you.' So, the couple followed directions and did just that.…

After 12 years of experience, as well as an expensive Master's degree that resulted in $50k in student debt, the original poster of this story could hardly boast about her teaching salary at $25/hour.

People who go above and beyond at work often have a lightbulb moment when they realize they are being taken for granted. Unless that extra work has manifested itself in a promotion, a raise, or some kind of validation that meets the employee's desires, these workers do not deserve to give so much of themselves over to their jobs. Here, we have a phlebotomist who routinely came into work 15 minutes early until their entitled coworker started taking advantage of this. Essentially, the coworker as…
