Many people who take over a business like to make drastic changes to it in order to assert their new ownership over it. Mostly those changes come with the claim that they want customers to notice that the ownership has changed and that ‘there is a new sheriff in town’. The main problem occurs when they make massive changes to an already successful business, without taking into account the thoughts and feelings of all the regular customers who already loved the business as it was.

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…

One store owner played with fire until they got burned… Resulting in them losing their entire business. But hey, let's start at the beginning, shall we? OP relayed the infuriating tale on Reddit, the place where employees worldwide come to complain about their entitled bosses. OP was working at a mall and was supposed to work a shift, but got told to 'go home' when they arrived. Weird, OP thought.

'Don't take advantage of a nice thing or it may go away', said u/tKLogicTA, who revoked his employees' privileges after they managed to finish 400 bags of chips in 3 weeks.

I remember the absolute shame and frankly, heartbreak (I was 16, and very dramatic) I felt when I was called by a manager and promptly fired after being accused of fighting with his wife on the job. The story goes as such: I was looking for a job while I was in high school. I was not a very good student and didn't attend any of my classes, so there were weeks I would stay at home, instead of going to school, and boy was it boring . Eventually,…

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the owner of this store decided that his situation was deserving of frantic action. OP explained how he walked into work one day, only to find all the chairs were missing. Apparently, the owner had decided to throw them all out in order to make sure that employees were standing during break time. Yes, during their break .
