‘You Better Come In to Work!’ : Entitled Nepo-Baby Boss Attempts to Force Employee to Work on PTO and Paternity Leave, Leading To Calculated Malicious Compliance That Even the Boss's Dad Couldn’t Get Him Out Of

‘You Better Come In to Work!’ : Entitled Nepo-Baby Boss Attempts to Force Employee to Work on PTO and Paternity Leave, Leading To Calculated Malicious Compliance That Even the Boss's Dad Couldn’t Get Him Out Of

When you're an entitled 22-year-old 'Nepo-Baby' manager, it's likely you won't know what the significance of having a kid is. This boss in particular really had it out for his employee who was having a baby, as he continuously denied him PTO, for the entirety of September, when the employee's wife was due to give birth. The employee in question was fed up, and decided to maliciously comply, sending in a request for PTO and paternity leave in October — which was approved by the night manager, an…

'I confronted my manager, and began to formulate my plan...' : Employee Learns She Will Be Fired and Replaced Following Office Gossip, Company’s Plans for New Position Fall Through, Leading to Immediate Petty Revenge

It's absolutely mind-boggling that some companies are dumb enough to approve a new hire (from within the company) to replace an employee, without alerting said employee of their firing. How awkward. This is what happened in this very humiliating case for a young worker who was trying to prove herself. She heard via office gossip that the company had someone in mind for her position… while she still had the role. Apparently, they felt ‘Shelby’ would be a better fit. Things didn't exactly go acco…

‘You Messed With the Wrong Cosplayer’ : Entitled Lady Insults Cosplayer on Online Fandom, He Plays Ultimate Long Game of Revenge, Leading To Her Losing $25,000 Prize in Social Media Contest

‘You Messed With the Wrong Cosplayer’ : Entitled Lady Insults Cosplayer on Online Fandom, He Plays Ultimate Long Game of Revenge, Leading To Her Losing $25,000 Prize in Social Media Contest

A portmanteau of the words ‘play’ and ‘costume’, cosplay is the act of dressing up in a fictional character's apparel. While adorning this character's costume, the cosplayer oftentimes adopts their persona and mannerism. Let's be clear, a lot of effort is put into this recreation of a character, so the last thing you'd wanna do is insult the person who does it. Personally, I really admire the dedication and the zest that people have for it. It's not just a costume — it's an art, a performance.…

‘Fine, No Problem. I’ll Clean the Floor.’ : Bossy Manager Treats Overworked Employee Poorly, Giving Him Extra Duties That Are Not Part of His Job Description, Leading To Malicious Compliance

The service industry is pretty volatile, as the environment is not exactly a professional one. If you've never had a job in this line of work, let me tell you, you are not missing out. What goes on behind the scenes ain't pretty. For some weird reason, managers in restaurants generally seem to be on some power trip. Their ego quickly outgrows their head, leading to repetitive conflict. u/Dio_bean took to Reddit, sharing his own experience with a terrible manager who instructed him to do a ‘deep…

‘Union Rep Was Being Unhelpful on Purpose’ : Employee Receives Unfair Formal Warning for 3-Week Medical Absence Given by Unprofessional Manager, Resulting in Malicious Compliance by Means of Appeal

You haven't experienced the true face of humanity unless you've worked at one point or another in customer service, and yes, that includes retail. The fact of the matter is, you can't indoctrinate someone for minimum wage and expect them to actually give a hoot about the job. It's not a secret, customers know this, management knows this, heck the workers themselves are well aware. Now, of course, there are the outliers, the people who care about their employment, the ones who make an effort to…

‘Does It Look Like I Care if My Car Gets Hit?’ : Entitled Lady Double Parks Cart in Handicapped Spaces, Bystander Plays Vigilante, Ultimately Blocking Her as Revenge

We all believe that if we witnessed something terrible taking place, we'd certainly take some sort of action to help the person in trouble. Then why are there so many videos rampant online showing what psychologists like to call ‘The Bystander Effect’? For those of you who don't know, this term, otherwise known as ‘Bystander Apathy’, is when something happens right in front of you and a bunch of other people's eyes, yet none of you step in or do anything. Why? For some weird reason, the presenc…

‘I Reported Him Straight After the Phone Call’ : Boss Accuses Wrong Ex-Employee of Reporting Use of Pirated Software, Leading to Petty Revenge

It's really easy nowadays to pirate software, which is probably why everybody does it, including big companies that can easily afford to buy the original. Of course, there are those anti-pirating-angels, who wish to wear their halos for all to see — which begs the question, why (besides taking cash into account) don't we download the genuine version of the software? Why are we so quick to dismiss it? The reason is actually pretty simple. You can't run the stupid thing without an internet connec…

‘I Think You’ve Made a Mistake’ : Terrible Boss Adds Extra Workload on Employee, Won’t Pay More, Leading To Delivery Time Delays and Malicious Compliance

‘I Think You’ve Made a Mistake’ : Terrible Boss Adds Extra Workload on Employee, Won’t Pay More, Leading To Delivery Time Delays and Malicious Compliance

First, I think it's important to mention that the employee in question was a teenage girl. The job in question was being a newspaper carrier. And the boss in question was a complete and total idiot who thought she could cheat her employee out of a proper wage. When you're a kid entering the workforce (If I may call it that), you are probably going to be taken advantage of, salary-wise. Today, being a paperboy isn't as prevalent as it was back in the day before we could access the News on any an…
