manager

Here are the stories of cashiers, customer service reps, delivery drivers, service people and retail workers of all stripes who had to deal with the dumbest, most irrational, and outright furious customers to grace the planet. Man, these people suck. We understand why you'd be mad if a company actually wronged you, but to make impossible demands and turn into an abusive monster is completely out of the question. Here's a story of a cashier who talked back to a Karen and lived.

When their boss got overzealous cutting costs, this group of bartenders and servers took action right when it mattered most. 8:30 on a Friday. It seems like the natural thing to happen when you overwork your staff and stop paying them. For more, here's a satisfying revenge story of an employee ending his despicably cheap boss.

What is there to do when you're wrongfully terminated from an employer that doesn't respect you in the first place? Sure, you could just wash your hands of the whole thing, but where's the fun in that? For more times people took the law into their own hands, here are some acts of gloriously petty revenge.

It being International Workers' Day, Talia Lavin asked people share stories of their most horrible, unfair, incompetent and downright nasty bosses. If you've ever been yelled at for having to take off work for an emergency, or been fired for actually doing your job correctly, these might resonate with you.

This sounds like just a bit of a nightmarish place to work. The red flag is waving bright in this manager's idea about what employee's should be expected to do when it comes to "thank you" emails. Like, come on! 

A satisfying and well executed revenge! This guy used a well calculated approach to combat his nasty manager's toxic behavior in the workplace.

The internet is not kind to the unreasonable adults who lie to and berate people in customer service. Abusive people like this are not-so-affectionately referred to as "Karens." While we've heard many stories of this kind of frustrating behavior, we often forget that many of them have families; some who see both sides, and some who are just ashamed.

This has all the pieces of a great revenge tale! Gotta love when the employee gets back at a toxic, incompetent, and lazy manager. A well done revenge, where the manager got utterly buried. 

Lord help the customer service representative who has to deal with the customer who thinks they're always right. These stories are a mixed bag. Sometimes the insane customer gets their comeuppance, and sometimes they just benefit from their frustrating behavior. If you wanted to read more manager stories, then here you go.

Usually it's an incompetent boss who can't do their job, or a rude manager who doesn't value their employees. Sometimes it's unsafe working conditions. Other times it's outside stress, or just the work itself that's unbearable. These are the final straws people had that made them move on. Turns out, these moments aren't that rare.

Just cause you find yourself in a moment of great, impossible stress doesn't mean that the manager -- wherever they might be hiding -- is going to see you about the problem you've dug up, real or imagined. Sometimes though, when the sh*t does in fact get real, and you're not leaving some bullsh*t-stained review to diminish an establishment's online reputation, you absolutely need to speak to the manager! These are some of those stories, that capture those moments. 

We've all had our fair share of bad jobs. When you have no skills or experience, there's a good chance your only option is a position with crappy hours, brutal conditions and high turnover rate. As glamorous as "artist" sounds in the job title "Sandwich Artist," there are some clear red flags indicating the types of jobs it would behoove you to avoid.

If you've worked in the service industry you've likely encountered that aggressively disagreeable customer who refuses to reach a solution; and ultimately asks for the manager. These are the glorious stories of the moment they realized they were already talking to the manager. 

What happens when an incompetent manager threaten to fire an employee they completely depend upon? Bluffs are called.

There's not much you can do when you know something you're not supposed to. I mean, you can sit there and feel bad about it if you want.

Sometimes bosses are truly unreasonable. Sometimes a business is a total scam that takes advantage of its employees. Here's hoping that these people were able to find better jobs.
