There are no winners in the tipping debate , but this dude decided to ask people on the internet if they thought he handled this the right way. As u/Thatsweatyguy4 wrote in their post to r/AmItheA**hole, they and their little brother found themselves in an awkward situation with the manager of a pizza place. Basically every human being loves pizza , so it makes sense that the brother, an intern who organized a food drive, picked the universally beloved food to serve. They planned to give a pizz…

Companies need to be careful with who they pick when searching for a job candidate to work in a managerial role, as often their choice can make or break a team. In this case, OP was an IT manager for a company that was searching for a successor to run the store in the owner's place. Soon enough, they found a 'worthy candidate', but the candidate in question turned out to be not only terrible at running the show but was also rude and entitled overall as a person. This resulted in 15 employees qu…

Why is it that so many businesses would rather lose $10 in the name of saving $1? Time and time again, extreme cost-saving measures end up costing more in the long run. This engineer left the company they worked for shortly after completing the installation of an important mystery machine (No, not the one from Scooby-Doo.) For some reason, the manager at the client's site kept their number and contacted them personally to come and rectify an error with the machine. They agreed that the engineer…

Welcome to the corporate world, where there is a ladder somewhere everybody is trying to climb and throw whatever relationships you thought had with the people there, because in here “it's just business” is the mentality. It's pretty upsetting, tbh. Millennials and Gen Z are working hard to dismantle this type of toxic workplace culture, but alas, it still seems to rear its ugly head all over professional situations. And it's even worse when the professional situation is with someone you consid…

It's as if Kevin was begging to be called out!

When it comes to revenge in the workplace, you must be very strategical. When you're trying to build a solid career, it's important not to burn any bridges on the way. You never know who you might be working with again in the future. That being said, when you get a chance for some petty anonymous revenge, it's hard to pass that up. The OP in this Reddit story got both strategical professional revenge AND extremely pretty revenge . It's very rare to get both. She had worked her way up at a brewe…

It sounds like they were just looking for the smallest excuse to fire this server.

Whenever someone is confidently incorrect, sometimes it's better not to argue with them. Instead, make sure you cover your own rear and let them do their thing… and watch the chaos unfold—just as this worker did when they got a micromanaging new boss. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the worker, Reddit user u/BrightRick. u/BrightRick explains that they worked for a catalog in the 80s. What's a catalog, you ask? Well, see, before the internet, people who were…

It's time to discuss unnecessary dress codes in the workplace.

A manager who makes exceptions only for his friends sounds like bad news. That's how u/kathjoy was treated by their boss Steve in a story shared to r/MaliciousCompliance. This OP shared that they worked at a supermarket and came down with a terrible flu. It makes no sense to go to work when you're ill. At best, you'll get five minutes of work done and spend the rest of the day drinking tea and trying not to fall asleep. At worst, you spread it to the rest of the office. By the next week, everyo…

Most people start a career as a waiter or waitress because of the money. It's no secret that servers make bank, but it's definitely not because of their minimum wage hourly rate, it's because the tipping culture in America says it's acceptable (if not encouraged) to tip 25%+ to the server on top of a restaurant receipt. So for servers who aren't making tips, why would you suffer the long hours, picky customers, and weekend enslavement? Exactly. You wouldn't.

Friendly reminder that our servers deserve better.

We all dream about the day our best friend wins the lottery and buys you tickets to an unforgettable European vacation. In this case, OP actually has this fantasy come to life when they were gifted a once-in-a-lifetime vacation from their rich friend. Who could say no to that? However, OP was in for a rude awakening when they requested two weeks off for their dream vacation and their boss subsequently took that as their resignation.

Here is a friendly reminder that illegal contracts are still null and void regardless of whether or not you signed them. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by a former employee of a popular fast food chain. After quitting without notice, the employee remembered they had signed a contract stating that if this were to happen, they would get paid minimum wage for any final pay periods. Thankfully, this employee researched their rights and knew this was illegal. They reached ba…

If this isn't a sign to start looking for work elsewhere, I don't know what is.

Everyone has had that moment of panic on Zoom when you thought you were on mute but you weren't.
