This worker is utterly determined to mess with their bosses. As a night auditor at a hotel , they're used to the usual solitude of their work. Then one day, their bosses let them know that they were being recorded on camera. The work, u/Applejuice42, was not a fan of that, and decided to ask the internet what they should do to mess with their bosses. Bad news for anyone who dislikes being recorded: there's no escaping it anymore. Between security cameras and Ring cams, there's no point in havin…

Here's a good rule of thumb: if an employee is handling confidential information, then it's probably not a good idea to let them do their work out in the open. This accountant tried to warn his new manager that it wasn't a good idea for him to cover the front desk on this particular workday, as he was doing payroll (and was the only person in the company capable of handling payroll). It wasn't that the accountant felt “above it" in any way; he knew that from time to time, the accountants in his…

The students at this college are going to have an amazing story to tell about the first time they visited campus . College can be such a fun-filled and magical time for a young adult, but picking the right college is important. If you're a serious student who wants to buckle down and focus on school, you shouldn't pick that college that's known to be a party school. And conversely, if you're planning to party a lot and spend time on campus getting to know your new friends, you'd better make sur…

Companies have the uncanny ability to approach an issue with solemn interest and earnest, particularly when safety is concerned, carefully documenting that concern and intention to avoid that issue—giving themselves plenty of paperwork to cover themselves with should the need ever arise. Yet, as soon as the proper solution is presented and the proper safety equipment identified you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll balk and silently go for whatever cheaper model the supplier they're alrea…

The owners of this restaurant couldn't handle the truth! At this establishment, management was trying to figure out how to make their store “more professional and turn some things around.” That's an admirable goal: wanting to make a restaurant a better place for both staffers and customers alike is sure to benefit a business. However, some restaurant owners don't want to take the obvious (and free!) option to figure out what should change. They could ask their hardworking employees and managers…

There is nothing more frustrating than being told something is fixed when you know in your soul that it is still not working. Most of the time, when this happens, the item that's malfunctioning is minor, such as a sink faucet. In this case, however, we're talking about someone's car. This customer kept trying to get his vehicle fixed because he was consistently receiving error messages. After dropping $2,000 to get it repaired, he retrieved his vehicle and was specifically told that everything…

When young adults first move out of their parents' homes, many are faced with the question of whether or not they should move in with roommates. Although most people don't really have a choice, because very few can actually manage financially to live alone when they are that young, even if you were given the choice, it can be a difficult decision. On one hand, living with roommates means you are never lonely, you can make great friends and create such fun experiences simply by sharing a living…

This customer will rue the day she forgot her manners at a restaurant. She was paired with a waiter who doesn't care for impolite customers ! As a waiter, you come to realize that some customers are just impolite for no reason at all. Maybe they're having a bad day, or they act like that all the time. There's a certain type of customer who just automatically act disdainful towards workers, as the job of serving food makes them less of a person. I've never understood why you'd be anything but po…

Some people just take things far too literally for their own good. Being detail-oriented and focused will get you far in life, but there are limits, as u/AQuietBorderline shared in their story of malicious compliance. Next, read about these absolutely awful employees, like one “sugar bandit” employee who kept using his own hands to get sugar for his coffee, then left sugar trails around the office !

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…

Customer service can be really draining sometimes. This employee decides to “give back” to an entitled customer who has a lot to say.

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.…

The problem with renting is that no matter how long you've lived somewhere, you never know when your landlord might ask you to leave or serve you a notice to vacate. Outside of maybe some mutual respect, there's really nothing giving you the security that you have when you live in your own home. At that point, only the bank will come after you if you default on your mortgage. Even if you've had a long-standing good relationship, there's no telling when your landlord might flip their switch—as i…

If you want to get what you want rather than what you deserve, there are situations when it is preferable to be wise rather than righteous. The story below is an account of a frustrated car ferry worker. The original post (OP) details a previous interaction with a haughty client. The ship was preparing to set sail on a scorching summer's day. Even though the deck was nearly full and OP lacked the necessary area to carry the freight, he offered to load a little MG, if they didn't mind the strain…

No matter where you work, there are going to be some parts of the job that absolutely nobody wants to do. If you work in a restaurant , for example, you have to do some of the same chores every single day. You'll need to sweep and mop the same floors, clean the same dishes , and wipe down the same tables over and over. It becomes a swirl of repeating tasks, one after another. That's why when there's a new person on the job, the current employees and managers might take advantage of their willin…

While many of us are ashamed of what we would spend to have a minimum wage employee deliver takeout straight to our door during a summer thunderstorm, most of us will happily go online to feed ourselves out of convenience, spending far more for a pizza than any person should.
