If this isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.

Just like Daenerys Targaryen “kind of” forgetting about the iron fleet… these bosses forgot that this guy was included in their group chat, using it as a means for discussing firing the worker in three weeks' time, once they were caught up with the delivery workload.

The concept of monitoring an employee's bathroom breaks is perhaps the biggest waste of management's time.

Fleeing a toxic workplace is like dealing with a bad breakup. It's tough to muster up the courage to break it off and even if you finally do, the Ghost of Cubicles Past may follow you into your next job, lurking around every corner, poisoning references, and tainting every good interview. Although, even if you're trying to run away from bad bosses in your closet, leaving your current job is harder than you think...

It's amazing how ego-fueled denial can make an employer wait until the last moments of your notice period before attempting to reassign your tasks and replace you. It's probably not surprising, though, given that this exact attitude and lack of care are probably what made you want to leave your job in the first place. Still, this happens time and time again—as evidenced by the sheer number of stories posted about it online. You might even have some stories and experiences of your own of dealing…

Sometimes, in the effort to save $1, you lose $10—like when you buy an older bicycle, but it turns out, with all the work needing to be done to it, you should have just bought a newer one instead. Life's like that sometimes, and if you're trying to dig up ways that employees are screwing you to save money, you'd better be darned sure you're not actually screwing them, or else that might cost you—big time. When the administration tried to tell this teacher that she was having her hours docked fo…

Here's a friendly reminder that the words "mandatory" and "requested" do not mean the same thing.

This is what happens when an absent boss gives her employees unclear instructions.

Traveling for work purposes certainly has its perks and its drawbacks. On the one hand, you get to see new parts of the world, network to expand your business, and get a break from your normal day to day life. On the other hand, you may have to travel with colleagues who you don't necessarily get along with… just like this person, u/scootindog. After sharing her story originally to r/AmItheA**hole, the OP added several updates in the following months. You can also check out her replies to quest…

“He honestly didn't do much besides hover, bring bad energy and make terrible suggestions,” this employee writes in a story about their irritating former boss. As u/RahbinGraves told to r/ProRevenge, they didn't care for their bossy manager's behavior. The OP writes that they were working at a hardware store making a pretty low wage, yet still doing a lot for the company.

It doesn't get more insulting than this.

No matter how much we love our jobs, we're probably not expecting to be at them forever. Gone are the days when you started working down in the mines at 11 years old and spent the rest of your days until retirement there—or until the black lung took you. No, despite the children's yearning, they're no longer sent into the mines, and we're not expecting to work at the same place forever, either. Fortunately, many of us have the privilege of being able to seek greener pastures, probably only to f…

Some may call this going out in style and some may call it missing the point.

Some disgruntled workers are spilling the secrets of their worst coworkers ever. Some folks just aren't meant for work environments. It seems like there's at least one person at your job that makes you wonder, “How did this person ever get hired?” If they're anything like the people in the stories below,

This company pulled a classic bait and switch on this poor employee. Some companies will do anything to appear like they're treating their employees well, while in reality, the employees are pretty miserable. One example is the “unlimited vacation” benefit that some workplaces offer. They lure you in during the hiring process, telling you you can take as much time off as you please. But in reality, you still have to get the time off approved by your boss , and face the guilt-tripping they'll tr…

We all have that one coworker...
