Imagine your flight is hours late , and suddenly, someone announces the one person who is at fault for the delay. It would be awkward, and everyone waiting to board the flight would be livid. That's what happened to one pilot who thought he was better than another airline employee. Being a pilot can be a glamorized job, and clearly this dude thought that meant he could be impolite to everyone around him as a result. The OP, u/SolidFlow, shares that they worked to refuel the aircrafts and make s…

This CEO takes his business super seriously---and what he says, goes. CEOs like this guy are one in a million. At many companies, the CEO is just some random dude who has his photo on the wall, and you'll never actually see him in person. At other places, the CEO comes in once a month or so to make themself known, chats only with other higher-ups, and leaves the office again by 3PM. None of this seems good for morale: it lets employees know that there's a job at their that pays 7 figures and in…

Bosses tend to think that the rest of the workforce is contractually obliged to bow down at their feet. Whether it's the fancy suits or the overly dressy shoes, anyone in a position of power over their subjugates feels entitled to a certain level of respect in the workplace– even if they haven't earned it.

This dude clearly didn't listen to the automated message telling customers they'll be recorded during the phone call . He paid the price for that mishap! Working in a call center is a grueling job for lots of people. Just look in the comments, or at some of the many posts to r/talesfromcallcenters, and you can get a peek into the life of a call center rep. Basically, these employees clock in and take dozens or even hundreds of calls per day. Depending on their place of business, they're probabl…

If you're late, you're late — and your boss might not care about your excuses. A baffling thing that some people do is tell you that there are no excuses for your actions. Then, they still want you to explain yourself. So the conversation will start by your boss demanding to know why you're late. You then say that you were late because you had car trouble , or perhaps your nanny cancelled last minute, or any other good reason for not being on time. Even the best employees in the world won't mak…

This person learned an interesting tip from about getting what you want as a guest. As u/badgermann writes, their wife worked at the “central switchboard for a group of resort hotels in a tourist area." While you're vacationing, you want everything to run smoothly. Instead of dealing with the humdrum of daily life, all you really want is to be sprawled out on the beach with a good book and no responsibilities whatsoever. However, if you have traveled on vacation even a single time, you know tha…

Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it. After a weary and sleepless night, hopefully this glass manufacturing plant owner has learned the right lesson. If you've ever seen anyone perform glassblowing or watch an artist create a figurine out of hot melty glass, you know how hot this job can get. Glass doesn't like to melt until it's a nice toasty 2700–3100° farenheight. Anyone around these operations needs special protective gear and certifications to ensure everyone's safety…

After moving to a new country, this dude kept getting phone calls from random callers . These days, most of us get a few random calls a day, but our phone often lets us know they're robo calls. That way, we don't have to answer them and talk to a robot or someone trying to steal our life savings. However, this person had a more complex situation on their hands. They got a new phone number , but the previous person who'd had that number didn't bother to tell his clients about the number change.…

High school can be the best times of your life if you have the right friend group. But as we all know, teenagers can be fickle with their friendships. Sometimes a group of friends who have been close for years can all turn on one member of the group to kick them out, which is quite painful for the person stuck on the outside. However, this r/pettyrevenge poster is still stuck in his high school days, even five years later. He's thinking of their high school friend, who ended up having a lot of…
