manager

Depending on the job, it can be important to gussie up your resume with a few buzz words and projects you had a hand in, but some people take it too far. And no one wants to be in the embarrassing position of having to admit you lied on your resume to a potential employer. Hiring managers see some real wtf moments during interviews.

This person had the misfortune of hiring Karen, who found herself constantly sidetracked with a variety of intriguing excuses. After being let go, she topped it off by using them as a reference. They gave a polite, yet clear message as to their ex-employee's behavior. Sometimes new hires just can't pull it together, like these new hires that got fired on the first day.

Ah yes, here we are with a fresh revenge of the week! This time, it's a case of a manager getting in their own way with an arrogant attitude. Last revenge of the week we took a look at fifty employees vs. a greedy business. That was fun times. 

Now, here we are. It sounds like this manager was rocking quite the presumptuous attitude, when it came to how they regarded the importance of their employee's job. Specifically, they basically adopted the view that it didn't matter. We're talking about an employee that worked as a sales engineering sales rep. Turns out that's actually pretty important to maintaining the flow of a company's functions. 

This person was told that they should be aware of their work schedule even when they receive a schedule change with absolutely no notice, so they took their incompetent manager's advice to heart. While this seems like a lot of effort just to get under the skin of your annoying employer, it seems like it totally worked and it's kind of awesome. Here's a time when an employee got back at their horrible manager by giving them a uniquely confusing schedule.

The timing of this particular decision by an employee to cuss at their water bottle, proved tough. Apparently, the manager was walking by right when they cussed at the water bottle. Oops. 

Sometimes it feels like there's no justice in this world, but other times the truth pulls through. After this person was fired for some BS they didn't do, they started a chain of events that eventually got their ex employees out of a their own jobs. Here are some employees who actually did some dumb crap that got them fired on the first day.

Imagine being denied a promotion because you're deemed unqualified for a job you already do. Sometimes, when work is unfair enough, overworked employees can revolt by literally just doing their job description. When people apply themselves they can become lords of efficiency, opting to work smarter and not harder.

When confronted with the issue of people locking themselves out of their apartments on the weekends, this manager wanted to avoid paying overtime by passing the burden onto their own tenants. The policy was unpopular. As it so often happens with incompetent managers, their plan backfired.

We've seen our share of stupid managers and incompetent owners, and things never seem to change. This guy had the misfortune of having his job bought out by a bigger company, but knowing the rules, he managed to outlast his crappy manager.

People deal with their fair share of ignorant bosses, so it's incredibly satisfying to see an employee who's in the right win something, like this overworked employee who revolted by doing his exact job description. And to prove that your boss is being a complete hypocrite is icing on the cake.

It can be really frustrating to realize your boss is a goddamn moron. Some bosses are just good at hiding the fact that they have no idea what they're doing, but some are not quite so good. Don't get us wrong, many bosses are competent, but these ones really let the stupid cat out of the idiot bag.

This new manager did their part to break the cycle of homelessness and help out the guy camped out behind their restaurant by giving him a job. Reminds us of this donut shop manager who handled a customer's angry review. Here are some wholesome memes to go with the theme of people helping each other out.

People often find after they're hired that their job description doesn't cover nearly as much as what they're actually expected to do. Already stretched to the limit with a dwindling and under-qualified staff, this guy was asked to "do his job" so that's exactly what he did. People have different responses to being bullied at work, like this employee who prank fires themselves or this guy who stood up to his boss who didn't allow sick days.

Incompetent power-tripping managers can get themselves into some really stupid situations, like this boss who demanded a special contractor be on call 24/7 and ended up with a $10K invoice. In lucky situations, incompetent managers get called on their BS and have to actually deal with the ramifications of their actions, rather than pushing the burden onto their employees.

This insecure manager nicknamed "Bob" made it his personal mission to get a hard-working and efficient employee fired. Things didn't work out at all for said terrible manager. Bob manages to get himself escorted out of his own job.

This manager went and tried to make an example out of an employee by bringing their report to the attention of everyone else in the office. Thing is, they weren't ready for the employee to fight back. And when they did, and ultimately told the manager how they'd been copy-pasting the same thing for two months. Sh*t really hit the fan. You know the revenge was real brutal when the manager ends up quitting.
