It's remarkable that these employers thought they could get away with this ridiculous new policy.

Remember when your parents used to confiscate your cell phone for not answering it? Thus leaving you with no cell phone to answer their subsequent calls with. You might not have been able to text your friends either, but not being tied to a requirement of constant communication and surveillance was freeing. It turns out that experience is not lost to the past, and you may be able to relive it (without clocking 88 miles an hour in a DeLorean.) All you need is a boss who is more concerned with ma…

Who knew that paperclips had such power? This office manager decided they were sick of being underappreciated at work. They explained how their job basically included being receptionist, payroll, office manager, assistant, etc. all in one position. Not exactly sustainable and not exactly fair. It turns out that their boss had an unruly habit of finding office issues for OP to handle, so OP developed ways to subtly get their revenge without any consequences. One way was to lower the length of th…

Have you ever gone above and beyond at your work and received no recognition for it? How about taking the initiative to fix a serious problem that's plaguing your workplace, only to turn around and be reprimanded by your boss? If yes, maybe it's time to seek out greener pastures, just as this worker did when their micromanaging new boss took issue with the fact that they were going above and beyond to fix a problem that had been plaguing the company. Some people just desire nothing but control…

There are some bosses in this world who decide when things are personal and when it's “just business” whenever the situation is convenient for them. That seems to be the case with this toxic supervisor, who did not take his employee's resignation well at all. In fact, he claimed to have found out about her accepting a competitive offer a few weeks ago. and threw shade at how she waited to inform him of her resignation until after she collected her bonus. Dude, that's what anyone would have done…

Needless to say, you should probably not apply to this one!

Scientists were astounded when a new material was discovered that is even denser than osmium: This boss's thick skull. This thread was originally posted to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit by the boss, who was resoundingly put in their place and declared completely wrong by everyone who responded. Commenters were so shocked by the boss's callous willingness to renege on promises—and so impressed with the worker's decision to quit on the spot—that one commenter cross-posted screenshots of the…

Sounds like this student needs to run, not walk, to another job!

You know there's a problem at your workplace when HR sides with a thief!

Imagine this guy becoming your boss!

Undertaking a gambit with the sole purpose of making someone else look ridiculous—well, that's a risky move. There's a good chance that the whole thing could backfire and make you look ridiculous instead. After all, you should never put down all your best monsters at once when your opponent has a trap card face down on the field. (Mirror Force, anyone?) This manager tried to use a security guard's report as an example, presumably as a way of humiliating them to get them to leave the company. Th…

We've seen some ludicrous red flags on job applications, but this one is too far.

You don't know what you've got till your employee's gone! This general manager refuses to give up after their former employee quit the team. Now, it's far too late for this, the negotiation process is long gone, and it's clear that the GM is only just realizing how much work the Redditor contributed to the team. In fact, it's more than clear that the team is completely lost without her. Well, someone has got to inform this adult that cyberstalking is not the way to bring back a former employee.…

Having too much work to do and unrealistic expectations from your superiors about that work is a surefire way to make you hate your job… and your entire existence. This will usually happen in some sort of toxic workplace environment where middle managers have been selected and promoted on their willingness to enforce any policy they're told to rather than on any actual skills in operations, administration, or management. These middle managers are more than willing to pass any pressure placed on…

People don't usually quit because their job is bad — it's because their management is bad. Bad managers can make even the best job in the world into a nightmare. No matter how fun your workplace is, if you have a boss who's managing your every moment and breathing down your neck, you'd know it was time to find new employment elsewhere. This small business made a critical mistake by not trusting their hardest working employee, “Steve,” in this story posted to r/pettyrevenge. Next up,

Just because you're in charge doesn't mean you know better or have more experience—that's not your job. It's your job to ensure that the people who know how to do that job are getting it done and have the resources and ability to do so. A lot of managers get this confused or let their gargantuan ego get in the way, and then they end up with situations like this. Bonus points in these situations apply if the experienced subordinate is also significantly younger than the manager, which will often…
