This guy is having a rough day on the job . That'll happen when you continually make irreversible mistakes! At any workplace, there's always that one coworker who barely made it into work that day. They seem like they're always kind of flailing and barely holding it together. But you know what, sometimes these people are really incredible at their jobs. Other times, you wonder how this person ever managed to get a degree and a full career with the skill set they possess. It seems like u/Adventu…

The facility manager here knows that their job is to keep things running smoothly—not to bow to the wishes of every single tenant and employee. As a facility manager, u/ImTheWh0 knows that they're responsible for the entire building , and they take that role seriously. It's the kind of job that means that everything happening in that building is the manager's responsibility, including maintaining the key cards for their tenants. In my experience, building managers also tend to build relationshi…

Be careful who you lend your house keys to… This person found out firsthand what can happen when you entrust the wrong person with something so important. While on vacation, this person caught someone snooping around in their belongings . They never would've caught this woman except that they were alerted by their security system. The OP, u/No-Coat-7393, caught this person red-handed. In the old days, it was much easier to snoop around, especially if you knew someone was out of town. It's fun t…

“Everything that happens and goes wrong, is my responsibility,” this facility manager wrote about their encounter with an irritating client. Key cards are pretty great inventions. Although, if you recall, the first round of major hotels to use keycards were kind of a disaster. In the mid 2000s at some point, hotels began switching from manual keys to key cards . The walk from the pool back to the room was brutal, especially when key cards were in their infancy. While on vacation as a young kid,…

When you start to feel yourself becoming the unappreciated cornerstone of your company, it might be time to consider other employment. Your managers might act like they have their ducks in a row, but they always seem to forget who's the one lining 'em up. If you have ever worked for a boss who never recognized your value in the workplace, you can probably relate to this next story.

A guest at a hotel couldn't believe the way the front desk clerk was talking to her. She thought it was rude — so she tried to get the employee fired. There's that old saying that goes, “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar,” meaning you should be nice to people in order to get what you want. It's that simple, and it works a lot of the time! People who work in customer service are far more familiar with the kinds of customers who are quick to anger, and this hotel guest is a great examp…

One locksmith got back at an annoying customer in the best possible way — which of course the customer absolutely hated. As the OP shared in this classic post , they're a locksmith who makes keys and opens doors and car doors for customers. But at the end of one day, an irritating customer barged in shirtless and demanded service. He didn't become any less of a headache from that point forward! As a locksmith , though, the OP had most of the power in his hands. His business also had a policy th…

Don't lie to AAA, apparently.
