'I am being held against my will': After working a 30 hour shift, nurse calls the police then gets fired for being 'immature'

If you've ever pulled an overtime shift, you know the psychological warfare that goes on throughout every step of that OT journey.

'Ruin a department I helped create? Fine': New manager fires workers so she can hire her friends

It couldn't be clearer that this manager had zero idea what she was doing. At least that's what her employee, u/DangerPaladin55, explains in their story about the department they ran a few decades ago. Workplaces are ever-changing. At corporations with hundreds of employees, workers are hired and fired each day. Turnover is much more noticeable at small companies , though. Hiring the right person can make a huge difference. Having someone who gets along well with everyone can change the workpla…

‘You wanted to work, so work’: Young employee informs entire crew about coworker's higher salary, leading to boss scheduling employee every single weekend

‘You wanted to work, so work’: Young employee informs entire crew about coworker's higher salary, leading to boss scheduling employee every single weekend

It's only natural to get curious about how much your coworkers are making, but there is a fine line between being nosy and literally opening up the envelope with their paycheck in it. Albeit, this employee was young, but that doesn't excuse her behavior… She was in college but was working for OP, at a tanning salon in her free time, trying to make some extra cash on the side. Being the snoop she was, she opened up everyone's envelopes to see their pay. Don't try this at home, you WILL get fired…

‘You can’t delete my emails': IT employee informs coworkers he cannot retrieve old emails due to company's mail retention policy, they turn to upper management

‘You can’t delete my emails': IT employee informs coworkers he cannot retrieve old emails due to company's mail retention policy, they turn to upper management

Don't store important files in your email. There, I said it. The chances of something happening and them all getting deleted are slim, but never zero. This advice applies even more so if you are working in a company with a mail retention policy. These employees were furious when they learned from the IT guy that every email that was older than 2 years was gone, permanently deleted, and irretrievable. They had some important financial documents that they wanted to check out again, but alas, ther…

'No signed card, no room': Elderly lady refuses to sign registration card at local hotel, so front desk clerk refuses to check her in

'No signed card, no room': Elderly lady refuses to sign registration card at local hotel, so front desk clerk refuses to check her in

You know how it goes… Follow the policy, or you won't get a room. Apparently, not everyone got the memo. One elderly lady was staying at a hotel for quite some time following an operation she had at a local hospital, and the staff were happy to have her. They gave her free room service, a discount, great treatment, you name it… She got it all. But when the time came for her to reauthorize her card, she refused. Instead of signing a piece of paper and following the rules, she pulled the 'Don't y…

Nothing beats those special bonds that make work a little less miserable. Well, in this story, these coworkers became besties over their shared hatred of their new boss.

'I'll never forget the guy who asked for his steak "dry"': 20+ Chefs and waiters share the most ridiculous dishes their customers ever ordered

Who actually orders food like this? In a prompt to r/AskReddit, u/Graceful_Swan_Ronson asked waitstaff about the most ridiculous things their customers have ever wanted to eat. The resulting answers are hilarious and strange — and some are even a little bit wholesome. I have a few friends who order weirdly at restaurants, and dining with them is a delight. Sometimes I'll order a burger and fries, while my friend orders a slice of ham, a fruit smoothie, and a bowl of tater tots. It's like food r…

Update: '[I] am completely confounded': Worker claims they're unable to use Microsoft Windows OS due to their religion

There are a lot of people in this world with a lot of different beliefs, and we would do well to seek to understand and accept them. Still, there are some things in this world that just don't seem to add up to any rational sort of thinking. It's all well and good to follow a belief structure that carries a sense of morality and ethics. But what do you do when that structure prohibits you from using the tools of your trade? Is it your organization's responsibility to cater to these needs? Or is…

'That is enraging on OOP's part': Staffer snaps at colleague because of his winter outfit

This workplace definitely needs some lessons on decorum. Originally written in r/TIFU, this OOP shared an embarrassing story that made him feel ashamed of the way he dressed. However, after about a month, the OOP wrote in an update with a pretty satisfying ending. After working with underprivileged clients, you would think the OOP's coworker would know how to act in a kind and respectful manner towards her clientele. But some people view other folks as beneath them, just because they've fallen…
