'I won't sign, come back later': Deputy project manager costs company $250k

'I won't sign, come back later': Deputy project manager rejects requests and ignores emails, costs company $250k

Working in logistics is an underappreciated job — this person's work wasn't appreciated until everything started going off the rails. When roles switch around in a company, things around bound to slip between the cracks. Especially when there are bosses like this guy, the deputy project manager on an Australian pipeline project. As he stepped in to replace the regular project manager , he didn't quite know who was responsible for which tasks. The OP of this story writes that their regular proje…

'I've decided to park it legally': Home owner singled out by HOA for their old car, parks car right at neighborhood entrance

'I've decided to park it legally': Home owner singled out by HOA for their old car, parks car right at neighborhood entrance

This neighborhood HOA must really regret picking a fight with this driver. As u/wra**ehole writes in this great malicious compliance story, their HOA was seemingly targeting their car. Why? Because it's a bit old, about 30 years old to be exact, though the OP claims it's not an eyesore. Clearly, their HOA thinks differently. HOAs are supposed to improve the communities they surveil, but they've garnered a reputation for being nit-picky about every little detail of a person's property. You might…

'I sent all these voicemails and screenshots to my module organizer': Group project leader refuses to give all members equal credit for coding project

Group projects only work if everyone involved has to be accountable for their portion of the work. But as you'd know if you've ever had to do a group project, that's not usually how it goes down. Professors seem to love group projects — maybe it's less work for them to grade if they make all the students work together. Some teachers will claim that working in collaboration with your fellow students can make you a better leader or communicator. College isn't like the real world, though. If you h…

'Fine, I'll leave you alone': Teacher gets even with team of students, they miss MVP project deadline, fail program

'Fine, I'll leave you alone': Teacher gets even with team of students, they miss MVP project deadline, fail program

Though the days we fretted about exams are far behind us, we can still remember the bitter taste in our mouths as we bit our nails, staring gloomily out into the distance through our dorm windows, the background noise upping our stress levels. Being a student sucks, we get it. But that's no excuse to disregard someone else's time, much less a mentor who isn't actually receiving any money for doing their job. In this case, an IT mentor volunteered to teach students code, IT, and MVP. The team of…

20+ Crafters who tried to be aesthetic but instead created the arts 'n' crafts projects of nightmares

Not everyone is a professional artist, though – some people just make art for fun and entertainment, while others do it for the 'gram. Inspired largely by the proliferation of Pinterest crafts for every holiday imaginable, these folks tried their hand at DIY art. After all, how hard could it be…
