It comes as no surprise that at most companies, management tends to periodically enforce tone-deaf rules that can make employees feel undervalued. Sometimes that comes in the form of a new organizational structure, altered schedules, or reinforcing certain ways of doing things that employees know with certainty do not work. However, it comes with the territory of working at a company where management is largely absent but weirdly strict. In this case, we have a pharmacy that shall not be named…

Never count on your boss to give you the emotional support that you need. This employee was having a particularly difficult time working with another manager, who happened to be responsible for numerous staff members quitting. When the Redditor finally had enough as well, they decided to give their notice to their boss, with whom they normally have a healthy and professional relationship. However, when that meeting finally happened, OP was disappointed to see that the boss did not seem to care…

If this isn't a sign to start looking for work elsewhere, I don't know what is.

What a way to go out! Imagine working in a toxic environment, but just keeping your head down and going through the motions—you need the money, after all. But then one day BAM some realizes the full toxicity of the company and you finally get the justice you deserved. Well, that is exactly what happened to this guy on Reddit. User @Ha-Funny-Boy posted to the subreddit r/pettyrevenge , however we think this is more like a justice served situation. The poster said that he had agreed to a salary-e…

Giving someone instructions that you don't actually want them to carry out is foolish and bound to make you look like one when they follow through with your commands. It's crazy how common power-tripping bosses use this tactic, thinking their power is absolute over their subordinates. They risk everything on a single ego-fuelled order, daring their workers to call their bluff, only to be surprised when they do. This worker shared their experience working for a boss who frequently would wield th…

Employees working in sales commissions will tell you that the environment is pretty intense, and with good reason; you often come across workers who will do anything to get ahead. Such as this employee, who noticed that a relatively new coworker of hers was about to close a massive sale, and swooped right in to grab the customer for herself. The coworker in question, OP, caught her red-handed, and immediately told her as nicely as he could, to back off. She assured him, as snakes often do, that…

People love to stick to policy just as long as it benefits them and their ends. It's surprising how quickly an unchangeable, steadfast rule will change just as soon as it no longer serves the powers that be. This is extremely common in workplaces where workers are told that something must be so because “it's policy” or “the process.” Like wearing sandals to work

Many people during their college years take a job to cover their expenses while they study for their eventual full-time career. For example, you don't need a 4 year degree to wait tables or deliver pizza, so you pick up this kind of service industry job while you continue your education in something that does require multiple years of education like a doctor or lawyer. Yes, that's right, even future lawyers work in service industry while they're in school (except for like rich nepo-babies..). A…

Why is it that the people who do the most work never seem to get noticed? This is 1000% the definition of a toxic working environment, and yet there are still tons of managers and bosses out there who wholeheartedly follow that. As if your job is only to make them look good, and if you stop trying to make them look good then you're fired, but if you work harder to make them look good, then you can stay right there exactly where you are with no promotions or raises and definitely no acknowledgem…

When it comes to being pregnant in the workplace, there have been many laws constructed around it. If we're talking working on a construction site with heavy materials and potentially dangerous conditions, there is definitely limitations to what you can do or should do as a pregnant employee. If you work in a less physical labor job, then the laws a very different. Pregnant women can work a lot longer during the pregnancy and the laws make sure that they have that available to them. However, to…

Gamers tends to have a bad reputation. The boomers simply see the kids that would be glued to the video games and procrastinate doing their homework and never go outside. So when they hear an adult say that they are a “gamer," many think that this is a person who is anti-social and will not get any thing done because they will be too busy on their consoles. However, that is simply not the truth when it comes to adult gamers. Sure, adult gamers will also spend a lot of time gaming, but they are…

Life is already hard being an introvert. Humans are pack animals, but when you're an introvert you just want to be left alone. You have your few core people that respect your boundaries and those are the only people you want to hang out with. Why do you have to go and be socials with a bunch of strangers all the time? Or for that matter, why do you even have to go and hang with your coworkers? Shouldn't there be a divide between work and play anyways? This is the argument one introvert employee…

A company that rhymes with “Yaco Dell” has a strong cult following for its Tex-Mex menu items. People are obsessed with their speciality items—so obsessed that they forget the company is owned by one of the largest money-hungry corporations who fight to keep minimum wage as low as possible. So is it really that surprising that the management at “Yaco Dell,” which is usually employeed by teenagers, is toxic? An employee working as a new shift lead recently shamed their manager in front of all of…

Sometimes the amount of audacity upper management has is unbelievably astronomical. Like, how is that even possible? Welcome to the world of *~capitalism~*. It's not like the old days anymore, however, where people took the abuse of their managers and bosses because they needed to put food on the table for their family of 10. No. Now we are choosing uncertainty and peace over abuse and security. For instance, one woman on Reddit recently posted asking if she should put any extra effort into her…

It's absolutely mind-boggling that some companies are dumb enough to approve a new hire (from within the company) to replace an employee, without alerting said employee of their firing. How awkward. This is what happened in this very humiliating case for a young worker who was trying to prove herself. She heard via office gossip that the company had someone in mind for her position… while she still had the role. Apparently, they felt ‘Shelby’ would be a better fit. Things didn't exactly go acco…

Name one thing better than being able to epically quit your soul-sucking job and shove it in your toxic boss' face with an epic one liner exit? Seriously, how freaking satisfying. Recently, a welder went to Reddit to share their epic “mic drop” moment when quitting. It all started when they went to their supervisor to enquire about a small raise they had previously discussed as a potential prior. Apparently, this manager decide to respond with toxicity and Karen-level tantrum. While the employe…
