One bitter employee who faced challenges at their workplace decided to take matters into their own hands. They used to love working at their job. They had a great relationship with their boss, got their work done, and always felt appreciated. If there was an issue, they felt that their boss would find a way to accommodate them. Help was a two-way street. But when new management took over, things changed. The boss was demoted, and someone new was hired to take his place. She was less lenient, bu…

This story is about (drum roll, please) new management and the silly demands they make in order to make a statement at a workplace. They stroll in, head high, title in check, scanning employees to see who will break the easiest. Who can they push around, and who will fight back? Well, one employee was not having it with their new boss. The employee was an engineer for the company, and they had one mandatory team day at the office. OP wasn't feeling well, so they informed their boss that they wo…

More often than not, new management really knows how to dig their own grave. This new owner fired one very essential employee because the reality was that the owner had not done his homework, so he had no idea what this employee did. As it turned out, this employee was doing three jobs in one, meaning that the owner now had to replace him with three new employees. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself… It all began when a company that sold 'man cave' items was sold, and new management was looki…

New management just always seems to mess up the thriving environment they arrive in, taking senior employees for granted and playing with their wages as if salaries are part of a game. This manager was only two weeks into his new job, and already wreaked the type of havoc that can result in mass resignations… He told one of the senior employees, OP, that he was cutting three hours of work out of a shift because he had looked at the cameras and seen that OP wasn't ‘working’ to his standard. OP h…

These employees jumped ship en masse after new management dug their heels a little too deep in the ground. One worker led the rest of the employees who worked as technicians to another company. The result should have been obvious to the new manager in hindsight, but hey, 20/20 always comes after everything goes to shambles. What happened goes as follows… OP was working as the foreman at a food distribution company with a fleet of about 100 units total. The company hired this new guy who had no…

One boss had to lie in the bed he made when he yapped at the wrong employee for leaving a shift just three minutes early. I would like to see the expression on his face when he looks in the mirror and has to answer the question that will hopefully bug him forever more… Was it worth it? Before I get ahead of myself, I ought to start at the beginning. The OP, u/irritatingfarquar, was working at a water company for a whopping 25 years, when new management came into the picture. OP was good at his…
