If you sense red flags on the first day, you should know that things are unlikely to improve.

Every so often, we come across a satisfying story about a boss getting what he deserved! Sometimes, you have to be willing to walk away in order to truly make your point known. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by an employee who shared that after messing up over a year ago on the job, his boss was still threatening to fire him constantly. It got so bad that the Redditor went ahead and applied to a much better company. When he got the position, he first felt gui…

When someone has done you wrong, the best thing to do is to walk the other way with your head still held high… but it's certainly more satisfying to scorch the earth behind you as you go. When faced with the bullying behavior of their Karen boss, this IT guy realized he had enough and quit, seeking greener pastures—but, he also decided to (metaphorically) set fire to the building on the way out the door, scheduling a mass company-wide email to be sent from his boss's email address that exposed…

Or maybe you missed a flight. Whatever it is, you tend to keep it brief and hope for the best. At least that's the usual consensus. However, there are some employees who work for toxic managers who don't trust their excuses and pry for more and more proof of why they are missing work. Well, when they do…

In what universe is mocking your employee's low salary a good idea?

As annoying as this coworker was, this employee's freakout was wildly out of line.

Be careful what you wish for!

Every so often, you get to re-enforce your own boss's strict rule back at them.

It's remarkable how you can feed a toxic boss the exact same rhetoric they fed at you.

You'd generally expect your position on the pay scale of an organization to accurately reflect your contributions and experience in the role. Unfortunately, this usually isn't even remotely close to being the truth.

As Kanye West once said, "How could you be so heartless?"

This is what happens when you put a cap on income and employee benefits!
