If you read the original poster's title as ‘Hitachi Fun’ instead of ‘Hibachi Fun,’ like me, you were expecting a very different thread.

What should you do when your boss demands that you stick to your rostered hours after you've been working heaps of overtime to try and keep things afloat? Do exactly what they asked, of course. It's always nice to rack up a few hours of overtime here and there to get a bit of extra coin, but having to do it week on week is a sure way to burn out. Rather than rewarding your employer for understaffing the team, sometimes it's best to let things burn a little bit to get a little more support — esp…

Patience is a virtue — so states the proverbial phrase — but in a modern world, that idea seldom comes into actual practice. Everything is happening so quickly, changing so suddenly, that waiting or trying to be patient often means that it's already too late. We've all been trained by the idea of “missing out” into giving in to each and every impulse; when, retrospectively, if you don't miss the thing you “missed out” on… did you really miss out at all? I say this having just repeately

Revenge is a dish best served salty!

An epic tale of revenge via scorched earth policy.

There's no worse result to shopping for a new car than getting stuck with a lemon from a shady dealership. When this happens, you can be out of pocket thousands of dollars and still end up with a faulty vehicle. That is… unless you can get the dealership to own up and take the vehicle back. Redditor u/DeusExPir8Pete shared this story to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, telling of how they managed—with sheer obstinance—to get the dealership to take the car back and issue them a full ref…

Some executives are all about sales, insisting that profits will increase exponentially if they sign on more and more clients. They offer the greased-up salespeople absurd bonuses for signing new clients, at whatever the cost, without bothering to make sure that those contracts are actually going to be serviceable at those rates—or profitable in the long term. And, let me tell you, you don't know pain until you've worked at the servicing end of a company that has made this mistake, impossibly t…

A mother has to do what a mother has to do.

Giving someone instructions that you don't actually want them to carry out is foolish and bound to make you look like one when they follow through with your commands. It's crazy how common power-tripping bosses use this tactic, thinking their power is absolute over their subordinates. They risk everything on a single ego-fuelled order, daring their workers to call their bluff, only to be surprised when they do. This worker shared their experience working for a boss who frequently would wield th…

This bully is going to regret some of his decisions. Sure, what the Redditor did was harsh, but you know what’s worse? Being relentlessly bullied for years. In our book, this dude got what he deserved. The hero who got his much-deserved revenge shared his story via this thread on Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit after it was originally posted on the AITA subreddit. Our only real concern here is that the bully might discover that the Redditor had something to do with this. OP should not have wi…

If you’re in need of a workplace story with a happy ending, it doesn’t get much better than an entire department uniting with the goal of ousting their boss. The fact that it was a success is one thing, but the fact that the Redditor managed to get herself a promotion (her former boss’s position, no less) is another. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/ProRevenge subreddit, and if you’re currently stuck in a job with an awful manager who lashes out and threatens you and/or your coworkers, feel…

There are plenty of petty revenge stories out there, but rarely do you come across a true revenge tale that ends with someone getting both fired and arrested.

Local parking enforcement agencies might be the root of all evil. Whether it's the local transport agency, council, or city government, as soon as that organization is responsible for parking, you can guarantee they will use bogus tickets, blatant hypocrisy, and outright bullying to ensure they can bleed as much money as possible from the population. But I should clarify that I'm biased here. If you've been reading these posts for a while, you might already be aware that I have a particular bon…

Some people think that their continued manipulative or abusive behavior will go unchecked. Often, they've been getting away with it for so long that why would they have any expectation otherwise? Well, whether it's finally writing an attitude check that's too big to cash or simply pure karmic justice… it catches up with you eventually. This horrible manager finally got her just deserts for her continued harassment and micromanaging of a team member. The team member had joined the company in a l…

A Karen and a plane, name a more iconic duo… The frequency that the two can often be found together is regrettable. Having some entitled and insane individual with you when you're locked in a pressurized cylinder hurtling through the sky at nearly 600mph (for several uncomfortable hours) is not an ideal situation to be in. But it must be something about that uncomfortable situation of flying that causes these emotionally infantile people to lose their slightest semblance of sanity. You know Sam…

A long-time housekeeper was used to putting up with her harsh boss, until her boss decided to entirely ignore her wedding day. As a housekeeper for 8 years, this OP was quite experienced putting up with Karens of all kinds. She dealt with Karen clients, as well as her boss, who could be “super rude and snotty." Despite this, the OP didn't mind her boss much of the time – she was just doing what she needed to do to get by. The entire time, she was watching a revolving door of employees, but she…
