'You really can't win with her': Top Infuriating Coworker Stories of the Week (June 9, 2024)

'You really can't win with her': Top Infuriating Coworker Stories of the Week (June 9, 2024)

Every office has an infuriating coworker, and they can really be the difference between a perfectly average day at work and the worst day of your life. This week, we have a variety of difficult team members that range from the entitled to the chaotic. The entitled ones tend to boss you around even when they are just slightly senior according to the company hierarchy. The chaotic ones, however, can be even worse, as these stories will show. Sometimes, you actually befriend your chaotic coworker,…

Fast food worker quits without notice, manager tries to get away with paying minimum wage for his final paycheck: 'The pay is still void because there was no two week notice'

Fast food worker quits without notice, manager tries to get away with paying minimum wage for his final paycheck: 'The pay is still void because there was no two week notice'

Let this story serve as a friendly reminder that giving two weeks is a courtesy, not a requirement. If you do end up quitting without giving two weeks, that does not mean you are relinquishing any other prior rights as an employee. To translate to this specific scenario, your boss cannot dock your final pay because of your choice to quit on the spot. In this instance, we have a fast food employee who used to work at a very well-known establishment famous for its donuts (if you catch our drift).…

'Use your two weeks notice to get rid of it': Administrative assistant deletes and shreds all their files

The real boss of an office isn't the president or CFO, it's actually their assistant . While higher-ups get all the glory of that job, they spend a lot of their days taking phone calls and meetings. Their assistants are often the ones organizing these, as well as writing follow-up emails, answering the office phone, ordering their lunch or coffees, and possibly even managing parts of their personal life. These administrative assistants are a force to be reckoned with: they're organized and cool…

Piano technician maliciously complies with overbearing boss's demand for punctuality: 'If you can't be on time, then don't!'

Piano technician maliciously complies with overbearing boss's demand for punctuality: 'If you can't be on time, then don't!'

Let this serve as our weekly reminder that bosses should be careful with their choice of words. Here, we have an employer who got increasingly frustrated with a piano technician for being under five minutes late on more than one occasion. Under five minutes should be considered negligible, but if an employer really feels that a conversation is necessary, there is a much better way of having it than what this dude ended up doing. He used vaguely threatening phrasing that almost begged to be chal…

'I've decided that enough was enough': Worker quits job after tactless manager tells them their 'abilities are not worth that much'

'I've decided that enough was enough': Worker quits job after tactless manager tells them their 'abilities are not worth that much'

Workers often leave their companies for better opportunities not because of the company itself, but because of bad management . The management structure of a business has a lot to do with an employee's day-to-day life. Some people have bosses who are micromanagers who want to hold their employees accountable for every minute of the day. With your boss breathing down your neck 40 hours each week while you're trying to write your emails and do your tasks, it's easy to get sick of the scrutiny. Ot…

Employee keeps running list of problematic quotes to bring up in exit interview: 'If you're able to crawl to your desk, you should be at work'

Some people dread the idea of an exit interview, but this employee has been waiting for this moment for months. Ever since she realized she was stuck in a toxic work environment, she started to keep a running list of all the problematic moments so she had her receipts. This not only made the day-to-day slightly more bearable, but the list would also protect her from any trouble since she had literally all the dirt on her boss.

Employee files complaint after boss is caught on video stealing her bag, HR sides with boss: 'She faced no consequences'

This workplace debacle pretty much epitomizes the idea that HR protects the employer, not the employees. When the evidence of wrongdoing is so definitive, it's hard to imagine the human resources department coming up with a justified reason to side with the boss. However, this team managed to side with her anyway. Here, we have an employee who caught her boss stealing her bag after work hours. Furthermore, the security cameras even captured the boss leaving the office with the employee's bag an…

'As I handed her the coffee I told her I quit': Manager demands that employee makes her coffee at the end of every shift, employee finally snaps

'As I handed her the coffee I told her I quit': Manager demands that employee makes her coffee at the end of every shift, employee finally snaps

Some managers make such ridiculous demands that one has to wonder if they are trying to make their employees quit. Sometimes, that is the case, and other times, it's just that these managers have egos and enjoy engaging in power dynamics. If this description fits your manager, our advice would be to get out while you still can. Here, we have a barista whose manager would insist on having a coffee made for her at the end of every shift after everything in the store had been cleaned up and finish…

Employee gets suspended for no reason, stinks up work truck before quitting: 'Before I returned the truck, I release 6 stinky air fresher tags in it'

Employee gets suspended for no reason, stinks up work truck before quitting: 'Before I returned the truck, I release 6 stinky air fresher tags in it'

If an employee quits after poor treatment and is then tasked with returning something, do not expect that item to be returned in pristine condition. This worker had gone through a whole ordeal with her employer after multiple coworkers were let go due to a shortage of hours (yet somehow, they were still always hiring new employees… talk about messy and disorganized!). One week, this employee was taken off multiple shifts and given forced days off with absolutely no advanced warning. She wound u…

'They triggered an avalanche of quitting': Dishwasher sends scathing quitting text to whole restaurant staff, fallout ensues

This, folks, is how to get other people to follow your lead. Not only was this dishwasher justified in calling out toxic management for their incessant outbursts, but he chose to do it in the best way: a group text with the entire staff in the same chat. And oh, what a group chat message it was! It's the kind of major confrontation that could only inspire groupthink and spark a subsequent craze of mass quitting. Here's hoping we get an update from the original poster explaining the details of w…

Employee triumphantly claps back at bosses after sending the wrong email blast: 'Everyone minus *insert CMO and director names*, it was a pleasure!'

There are great ways to quit and then there are iconic ways to quit. This former employee should be inducted into the Hall of Fame for workers who have had it with their horrible bosses. Before we get into the petty revenge itself, let's start with some backstory. This office was already a tense environment on a daily basis, with employees regularly crying at their desks and getting publicly ridiculed by the CMO and director for innocent and minor mistakes. One day, this Redditor's former cowor…

Coworker gets final raise after 10 years at the company, resigns and gets 15% salary bump at new job: 'Loyalty will make you poor'

This is what happens to companies that put a cap on the amount of raises they will give to their employees. This loyal employee had been working at his company for ten years, at which point he received his final raise. Naturally, a lack of mobility or incentive does not do much to maintain a sense of loyalty from even your most loyal employees and coworkers. This boss came to understand that the hard way, as this employee only waited to receive his final raise so that he could then leverage tha…
