'Mass malicious compliance': New HR manager stops employees from their morning routines, entire office stops working extra hours

The new HR person at this company had a funny idea for getting people into the office on time. This worker, u/KiKi_BTW, shared that when they worked at an otherwise “awesome company,” a new HR person interrupted the flow of things. A lot of the workers would bike to the job each day. It can be a great way to commute: you get your daily exercise in, save money on gas, and it's good for the environment, too. But adults get pretty sweaty when they work out, and a lot of offices accommodate this by…

'[Today] is our busiest day of the year, you can’t just up and quit!': Italian restaurant greeter follows boss's advice to have just one job, boss regrets it immediately

One restaurant greeter learned a valuable lesson about how people should treat them in a work setting. When you start your first job, you don't exactly know how you're supposed to be treated by management. Some places yell at their workers, others are passive-aggressive towards them, and others have super strict rules that they stick by no matter what. Your first job teaches you a lot… so by the time you get your second job, you're a little wiser and more experienced. This person was holding tw…

'I wasn't "loyal" to this dealership': Car dealership employee quits on the spot after boss's firing joke goes wrong

This dude's former boss had an interesting idea of what loyalty meant. It's an odd query: should you shop where you work ? If you work at a restaurant, would they expect you to eat their food? Or if you work at a clothing store, would your boss be offended if you showed up wearing clothes from a different store? It depends on the workplace, but it's a bit strange to force requirements like this on your employees. I mean, don't show up to your retail job wearing the competitor's clothing… but wh…

'I've spoken with one of our experts': Retail managers band together to get back at irrational customer

The longer you work in retail, the more you realize that some customers simply can't be helped . It's not that they don't want to be helped--they usually do, and they'll let the cashier know it. But they often want things like impossibly large discounts or merchandise that the store simply doesn't have in stock. Some customers see items that are supposedly in stock online, and then they'll spend 10 minutes insisting to the cashier that the item actually is in the store. If only they'd check in…

'We don't pay you to be 2 minutes late': Retail employee discovers "interesting detail" with strict boss's plans to halt late employees

Requiring your employees to clock in at exactly their scheduled start time each day is guaranteed to add some extra stress into their lives. It's not as if most employees are trying to be late.
