Some acts of defiance are more trivial than others. This employee's power tripping manager decided to revoke his vacation, so he quit and before he left decided to give him a real confusing send off. Sometimes small revenge is all you need, like this guy who battled his work tie policy by buying the ugliest ties possible.

After demanding everyone do painstaking logs, not reading them himself, and chastising his staff during a meeting, this manager was made to look like the jackass he really was. Frustrated employees sometimes give incompetent managers a taste of their own medicine, like this guy who was instructed to guard a spill, so he did it for hours.
A bad boss can make or break a whole company. Sometimes they can even make everyone quit at once. Here's a good reminder that even if you feel stuck at a crappy job, you can evaluate your skills and may realize that you totally don't have to put up with the BS that a bad boss sticks you with daily.
There are a lot of reasons to leave a job. Maybe you get a better offer at a different place for more money. Hell, maybe the job just sucks. These people just happened to leave because they were violent, dumb, selfish, creepy and just plain stupid. For more like this, here are some dumbstruck employees sharing stories of their dumbest coworkers.
It being International Workers' Day, Talia Lavin asked people share stories of their most horrible, unfair, incompetent and downright nasty bosses. If you've ever been yelled at for having to take off work for an emergency, or been fired for actually doing your job correctly, these might resonate with you.
Do you work to live, or live to work? I'd say most of us, especially those working in service or hospitality jobs in our late teens/early twenties, will tell you that we're just working for the money. The job itself doesn't matter (who wants to be a checkout chick for the rest of their life anyway?). But some bosses take things too seriously, and mistakenly think that you'd put the job first over other things, like Thanksgiving with your family or your father's funeral. Seriously. With nightmare bosses like these, quitting seems pretty reasonable, and that's exactly what these people on Reddit have done. I applaud them for their good timing.
I really hope this kid had another gig lined up, because his potential for any sort of reference is absolutely f**ked.

"Take this job and shove it."
Six words we all wish we could say on an almost moment by moment basis. We've got episodes of The Americans we could be bingeing. This dude didn't say those precise words, but he made his point.
After quitting his job over the phone, he punched the shit out of his laptop, threw his phone, and started crying. That's why a strong work-life balance is important. Time to start putting that mindfulness training into practice.
