Working from home has changed the way that businesses operate, but micromanagers everywhere are rolling in their graves over the fact that they can no longer survey their employees like they used to. Micromanaging bosses are absolutely livid that their crew can work from the comfort of their home, proving that they are 10x more productive without middle management watching their every step.

All this over a screw?

One has to wonder if the boss was willing to take the same pay cut!

When are we going to get the 4 day work week situation dialed in? What will it take to wipe Mondays off the work-week map? It seems like ever since you graduated, you can help but count down the minutes until Friday at 5pm only to waste away 1/3 of your weekend on Sunday afternoons when you're stressing out about starting to work again. It's a vicious cycle. Maybe if you had 3 days to do your weekend chores (party, drink, socialize, vacuum, groceries) you'd be more rejuvenated every week. But n…

People love to stick to policy just as long as it benefits them and their ends. It's surprising how quickly an unchangeable, steadfast rule will change just as soon as it no longer serves the powers that be. This is extremely common in workplaces where workers are told that something must be so because “it's policy” or “the process.” Like wearing sandals to work

Even long-time servers are upset when entitled people throw a fit. It's always unpleasant, and it never gets any easier to be screamed at by someone. Even for this server, who's been in the industry for six years, a Karen managed to spoil their mood. As u/ravioliwizard shared in their post to r/TalesFromYourServer , “It all started when a woman asked for a side of butter…” The Karen immediately began to fret over her butter, even though the server had barely left her table. Then, the OP says th…

When you get distracted when you work from home, managers will consider you an unproductive employee. When you work in an office, those same distractions are called “company culture”.

Have you ever entered a workplace, friend group, or any social group and been warned to watch out for one particular member? It's an unfortunate aspect of our social nature; we always need a group or individual to be “othered” to feel like we're “in." While it's important to keep an eye out for red flags and not make yourself too vulnerable to possible exploitative behavior from these people (if what people say is true), it's just as important to form your own opinions. You might find that this…

At some point in your professional life, you have most likely had a fantasy of seeing your boss get fired.

You can't enforce rules that aren't there!

Have you ever worked for tips before? When you work a job where tips are your main source of income, that becomes the primary focus of each day capitalizing on how to get more tips. In some cheapskate states, restaurants are allowed to pay you LESS than minimum wage because it's expected that you'll be making more in tips on top of that, thus making restaurant work a minimum wage job again. * huge eye roll * As everyone knows, that's not guaranteed...

This boss must have attended the "Michael Scott School of Business Management" because this is a joke taken right out of his playbook and, just like Michael Scott, he let this joke go on for way too long. This employee wasn't having any of it and decided to file grievances against the boss. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit on the evening of April Fool's Day. The poster u/--Savathun-- told the story of the cruel prank that their boss pulled by telling them, in a way that s…

Many say it is unwise to mix your everyday friends with your work friends. Why is that? Recently, a woman on Reddit shared a perfect example as to why you should. She had recently attended a gala as a +1 for her friend and had a lovely time, so she thought she should return the favor when her work threw a gala. She brought her friend as her guest, and her friend absolutely humiliated her in front of her boss. The reddit poster says that her friend grew up rich and that she didn't really have to…

When you were hired and they said you had a competitive salary, what they really meant was that your salary was always going to be competing with your bills. With inflation up like this and eggs costing a much as a gallon of gas, how many of us have asked for a raise in the last 3 months?

When managing a business, it's best to ensure you understand how things go before making any big decisions. When your subordinates point out that your amazing shiny new idea isn't … you'd do well to listen to them and not let your ego push you into what could be a huge mistake. This thread was posted on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by Redditor u/Absurd-n-Nihilistic, who shared their story with the popular community. They tell how their new manager had joined the company from a diffe…

Here's a lesson to all managers out there: you don't want to make enemies with the person who has been essentially doing your job for you for over a year.
