'They hired 3 people to replace him and still shut down': Company shuts down after new management fires highest paid mechanic to cut costs

'They hired 3 people to replace him and still shut down': Company shuts down after new management fires highest paid mechanic to cut costs

More often than not, new management really knows how to dig their own grave. This new owner fired one very essential employee because the reality was that the owner had not done his homework, so he had no idea what this employee did. As it turned out, this employee was doing three jobs in one, meaning that the owner now had to replace him with three new employees. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself… It all began when a company that sold 'man cave' items was sold, and new management was looki…

'They may have fired me, but I can still access the account': Social media manager keeps 'working' after being replaced by unpaid teenager

This person couldn't believe their eyes when their job position was suddenly taken over by a volunteer . Not just any volunteer — a nepotism hire, thanks to their boss. U/fjewioafjksldfhe created a throwaway account to tell r/pettyrevenge seekers about their crafty payback on their former boss.

'I couldn't train them': New hires don't take printing job seriously, printer room shuts down, company loses over $20,000

'I couldn't train them': New hires don't take printing job seriously, printer room shuts down, company loses over $20,000

Training new employees, teaching them the terrain, and getting them used to their new work habitat is often like taking toddlers to a playground and explaining how a slide works, or monkey bars. New hires are either energetic, upbeat, and willing to learn, or they are lazy, entitled, and demanding. Let's assume the latter, and let's imagine you report your new hires' lack of care to upper management. Let's go one step further and say that upper management couldn't care less. What would you do?…

‘I was denied a raise, so I quit’: Boss denies IT employee 5-10% raise, employee quits, leading to boss paying 40% extra for replacement

‘I was denied a raise, so I quit’: Boss denies IT employee 5-10% raise, employee quits, leading to boss paying 40% extra for replacement

For some unfathomable reason, companies have a larger hiring budget than retention budget. They're willing to pay more money to hire a new employee, than they would be willing to pay as a raise for an existing employee. OP was working as a junior at an IT job for a company. During OP's yearly evaluation, they asked their boss for a 5-10% raise, which was completely fair, as they had taken on many responsibilities since the beginning of their employment. OP's boss refused, giving a bunch of reas…

‘I don’t need to train anybody; I don't work for you anymore': Boss demands employee who quit come back to train new hire, employee's refusal leads to dozens of phone calls

‘I don’t need to train anybody; I don't work for you anymore': Boss demands employee who quit come back to train new hire, employee's refusal leads to dozens of phone calls

Management often doesn't realize that when you quit, you technically stop working for them. In this case, OP was working for a security company, and one month in, already decided to quit. OP gave his manager two weeks' notice, despite the fact he didn't actually owe them that. Two weeks go by and OP's manager hadn't yet found a replacement. On OP's last day, things changed, and a new trainee showed up, less than eager to be trained. OP did his best to train the new hire, despite running into a…

'They had their chance': Post-resignation, boss begs his employee to stay longer to train his replacement, gets denied

Managerial hubris is one of the reasons employees hate their jobs. Not only are we lacking in pay, but we are enslaved to the most incompetent group of overinflated bimbos who could easily be replaced by AI– at leas the replacement would be more charismatic. But these types of managers will deny your raise and then come begging for your help. Which is it? Do you value my hard work or not?
