Some bosses don't trust their employees to work remotely, even when it's a necessity. This is especially true if the boss is a micromanager. They can't stand to let their employees have any autonomy over their days. If they let their workers do their jobs remotely, how will they know if their employees are actually working? Sure, they might get all their work done (or even be extra productive!), but if the boss can't make sure they're working exactly eight hours, they won't like the remote-work…

Snow days are a lot of fun when you're a kid, but less so as an adult. As a kid, you may get to skip school and spend all day building snowmen and sledding down snowy hills with your friends. But as an adult, a snowy day means you'll have to shovel out your car and head to work on slippery roads.

Snow season is upon us in the northern States and like they do every season, some residents seem to have forgotten the importance of appropriate snow-gear. Somehow every year, there are procrastinators (who are apparently incapable of checking the weather forecast) that are neglecting to make appropriate arrangements for the upcoming snow days. Karens everywhere are ready to accost their local minimum wage workers, morphing into their final form as the rudest, most entitled customers in town.

This service tech is used to driving to jobs in different neighborhoods, but they weren't prepared for this weather. In any job, if your boss has your back, it makes your life a lot easier. However, many managers think that their employees are always trying to be sneaky or deceitful. They have no trust in their decision-making abilities…even though they presumably hired them for such qualities. This person, u/EmuExternal6244, shared a story from a snowy day on the job. As a lead service tech, t…

Some bosses don't believe in excuses. They have a zero tolerance policy for latenesses or absences, as if they're managing robots, and not human beings. If you've never worked in the food service industry, let me tell you a secret: snow days are often incredibly busy times at restaurants of all kinds. It seems counterintuitive---after all, if the roads are closed and temperatures are in the negatives, who's going to want to go out for a burger? What happens, though, is that people lose power an…

This move was a headache from start two finish for one small moving company. One of the movers shared their story to r/MaliciousCompliance---and it is a perfect example of that! The OP, u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC, writes that they worked at a tiny moving company, usually tackling one job at a time with their boss Mike. OP writes that the work was demanding, but it was worth it, because most people were truly grateful for the helping hand. Not everyone can move their own belongings, and even if you can,…

This company laid off a bunch of people , and the remaining employees are not thrilled about the downsizing decision. No employee wants to be part of a company that's a sinking ship. If the business you're in starts downsizing and letting people go, it can create a ripple effect. The remaining employees will be walking on eggshells around their bosses, not knowing if they'll be the next to go. And with their coworkers leaving a gap in production, some people are sure to be burdened with additio…

If you do something badly enough, you might not get asked to do it again. This dude was just trying to be a good neighbor — but he could tell when his good deeds were unwanted. Growing up near the Rocky Mountains , this person and their family had to deal with snow a lot. Luckily for the OP, their dad owned a snow blower. Instead of shovelling, which takes ages, they could just take care of the snow without pulling a muscle. Plus, in a snow storm, shovelling can be futile anyway. All your hard…

What the boss says, goes, even if the jobs takes hours. This guy was just doing what the boss said, down to the letter, and his adherence to the rules ended excellently. Lots of entry levels jobs require you to sign off on some rules before you begin the job. And one of those rules usually says something along the lines of, “The employee will complete additional tasks as needed.” With that phrase, bosses have the leeway to get their employees to do almost anything under the guise of “additional…

A new guy in town learned to be careful what he asks for from his neighbors . As u/Doriantalus shared, they grew up on a dariy farm, where they have a typical farm lifestyle . That means waking up at the crack of dawn to start farm chores — cows need to be fed and milked at specific times of day, so it's important that the farmers are consistent. The OP's dad sounds like a really nice guy. OP writes that each winter, he would wake up before chore time — around 3 AM — in order to plow every neig…

This woman was incensed that a teenager would dare to snowboard around her, but she didn't know who she was speaking to. Snow sports can be a great source of entertainment during the winter months. Instead of being cooped up inside, you can head to a ski slope or mountainous area and strap on your skis or snowboard . It's a wonderful way to get some fresh air, exercise, and adrenaline. Naturally, many trails for snowboarding or skiing are public areas — you have to share the space. This Karen a…

Don't ever mess with someone's parking spot — especially not when you're as brazen about it as this woman was. U/notanotherdonut shared their story to r/pettyrevenge, and it truly lives up to that name! The snowed-in Redditor writes that on a wintery day , they decided to clear a parking space for their BF, so that he'd have a place to park after work. The OP writes that it was no easy feat. It took them hours to dig the spot, and mere seconds to get it stolen by an uncaring neighbor. Luckily,…

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Snow shoveling is a grueling task, and one that basically no one wants to do. On r/pettyrevenge , this OP shared their own tale of revenge, served cold, to an annoying neighbor . However, the commenters are completely split on who is the jerk in this situation. Disputes with neighbors can be messy, especially when it comes to shared spaces like a parking lot or street parking. Plus, as some commenters pointed out, there are different sorts of rules depending on where you're from, and the severi…

These neighbors aren't going to be on friendly terms after this guy's ice cold revenge! “It was a cold winter day,” writes u/topathemornin. They told this excellent tale of very petty revenge, and as they claim, there was about 8 inches of snow outside, with temperatures dipping into the negatives. The OP began shoveling out their two cars. They dug out their own SUV, and then also shoveled a second place for their wife's Prius. The trouble started after the OP and their wife made a trip in the…

“Don't bother to prepare for the winter storm” is this guy's motto.
