If you need a story of poetic justice, you've come to the right place. There's nothing like staying true to your morals and it benefiting you in the end. As if the universal karmic energy knew you deserved justice. There are many stories like that if you just know where to look— like Reddit ! A woman recently got her poetic justice after struggling at her law firm. She was a hard worker and made sure she always did her very best. She was aiming to make partner one day. Finally, it started to lo…

He'll never be rid of her after this.

Let's be honest; despite all the grief that middle managers get, surviving in that role is no easy task. You constantly and consistently receive downward pressure from owners and upper management to implement changes and pass on cost-saving measures that you know aren't going to work. To top this off, you only really ever have two choices—provide feedback to upper management; while this absorbs the stress and pressure, keeping it from being passed on to your subordinates, it rocks the boat and…

There's nothing more satisfying than proving to everyone in the office that your manager's pointless rules are... well, pointless.

Malicious compliance is one of those rare, juicy opportunities that don't exactly present themselves very often. But once you get that golden ticket, bets are out you're gonna use it. In this case, OP was one of the few employees in this world that actually liked their job. That is, until his firm merged with another CPA firm, and other managers entered the picture. These managers were the exact opposite of what OP was used to… they were heavy believers in micromanagement (we all know how that…

This food delivery guy got the oddest instructions ever — and they weren't even from his actual customer. Working in the food delivery industry can be quite lucrative if you do it right. Some delivery people can make hundreds of dollars per day between their salary and their customers' tips. Food apps like Doordash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats are so popular that it's no wonder delivery folks sometimes use multiple apps at once. If you're working for two or three separate services, you can try and c…

Sometimes the best revenge is therapy. Seriously, therapy gets down to the nitty gritty of why that horrible situation happened to you and why it feels so extra horrible. Once you figure that out, it's only up from there! Take this recent Reddit story, for example . This man was living his worst life. He was in a toxic relationship, he hated his job, and his apartment was falling apart. Things really hit the fan when he discovered his girlfriend was cheating on him. He tried to fight for the re…

It has often been said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend—and I'm not exactly sure how that's supposed to all workout. Sure, they might not like the person you also don't like, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you guys are going to be all buddy-buddy, either. With your prickly and challenging personalities, it's more likely that the three of you will all be enemies together and carry on feuding perpetually like those three brothers after they offed their ginormous-jerk parents. Speak…

When you're working on a scheduled-gig basis, holding an often desirable slot for a client comes with a certain cost, and you're likely turning away other interested parties in order to honor the standing agreement; that's why these types of agreements, while not requiring full payment upfront in full, will often require a certain amount of the total price to be paid upfront as a non-refundable deposit. This protects the service provider from last-minute cancellations that could see them out a…

When a relationship ends suddenly—unexpectedly, with less than honest acts contributing to that abruptness—it can be hard to move forward. The lack of closure or preparedness, with your entire life and routine being turned on its head, is jarring, and the continued cycle of argument and retribution festers into a toxic tug-of-war that embroils both parties in an endless external and mental conflict. Anyone who tells you they're entirely faultless and managed a clean break in the aforementioned…

Everyone has that friend in the group chat that has really annoying habits.

Be careful who you fire!

Don't tell this housekeeper how to do their job . Their boss tried, and it didn't end well. When you do something for long enough, you start to develop shortcuts to make your life easier. Maybe you have a template you use to save time while writing emails if you're at an office job. Or for those in retail, maybe you're super fast at making drinks because you're used to measuring things by sight. You get into a rhythm and try to do your job as quickly and accurately as possible. Enter this emplo…

Karen may have had some audacity, but her competitor had a spare $5K to bring her business down.

There's nothing like a ruthless Karen at a gas station getting exactly what she deserves!

One of the best perks of working from home is that you can look absolutely depraved, un-showered, and unprofessional– and nobody needs to know it! You can click through emails, study spreadsheets, and make Zoom calls, while wearing pajamas in the comfort of your home. Some bosses however– tyrannical micromanagers, that is– will insist on destroying that beautiful facade that you've grown to love and demand that their employees turn their cameras on for every meeting.
