Thankfully, this does not end well for the narcissistic boss.

This boss threatened their teen worker and accused them of job abandonment after they sought urgent medical care for a serious infection that couldn't be ignored. There's this thing about the presence of the word “urgent” when it comes to seeking urgent medical care, which denotes a certain pressing need to take care of a medical need that can't be delayed. That means that it doesn't matter what obligations or other engagements you might have, your health comes first, and you owe it to yourself…

Nothing is worse than going out of your way to do a favor for someone, only to have them throw it back in your face and reprimand or deride you for doing so. It makes you wonder why you bothered at all and is incredibly demotivating when it happens in the workplace. An employee who had been going out of their way to take care of an inefficient task during their lunch break was reprimanded for going over their lunch hour by their boss. When they informed their boss what they had been doing, they…

Entitlement comes in many forms in this life.

The unspoken rule that it's against company policy to have fun is not always so unspoken… One man completed 4 years of contract work to the US Army in Germany, and at the end of said contract, was homeless as he and his family waited for their household goods to arrive back in the States. The company authorized a rate for the hotel he would stay at in the following thirty days. He figured out budget-wise what he could and couldn't do, and took his family to visit EuroDisney in Paris, staying in…

The correct response to an employee doing good work outside of their job title is ‘thank you’, but there was one supervisor who has apparently lived under a rock his whole life, instead getting mad at an employee who did exactly that. See, this employee was working at a construction company, his job title being related to inventory. He quickly became good at it and took it upon himself to study the company's cloud-based ERP service that they used for all internal and external transactions. He q…

When a boss is as terrible at managing projects as he is at managing people, trust you're gonna suffer the consequences, whatever they may be. This employee had to work on his vacation to make up for the ridiculous amount of time lost thanks to awful management. He was working on a project for his company, of which he and his team were behind schedule. The reason for that being… his boss. He quickly realized that he was going to be the scapegoat for said lousy management, so he handed in his tw…

At what point are health and safety more important than opening in the middle of a blizzard?

If there is any way to save a dollar and lose a fortune, this has to be it. When this new owner took over this company, all they could see were their immediate costs, and they decided that getting rid of all the top-paid employees was a top priority. There was no consideration made for what those employees might be contributing and what their unique strengths might be. So when the new owner decided to frame this top earner and hang them with a whole heap of lies… they set themselves up for a bi…

Talk about effortless, am I right?

Doing your own job is tiring enough without having to do your coworker's job too. Unfortunately, the reality is you'll often find yourselves having to make up for your coworker's chain-dragging—hey, at least those group projects in school prepared us for something … right? Another unfortunate reality comes in the realization that most managers will be slow to do anything about this. Even if they say they're looking into it, you can bet on a sloth to show more urgency and keep a greater pace. No…

Getting a manager you get along with is rare these days. The workforce is filled with entitled Karen and Kyle bosses that think since they're you boss they can treat you like trash. Those jobs are the kind you have to quit as soon as possible. However, when you find upper management that you actual click with, it's feels like the sky has opened and the sun is shining down on you and the angels sing, ya know? However, how far can you go with that “click” with upper management before it's too far…

Imagine finishing school and looking to enter the workforce for the first time... Your entire life, you've dreamt about the freedom and opportunity that graduating from school will offer you—what doors will open? Where will you go? What way will the direction blow you? The answers to these questions aren't nearly as exciting as you might have hoped… none, nowhere, and wherever you can find work—respectively. As soon as you throw that cap in the air, the student loan repayments start to tick; an…

We guarantee that this toxic boss will not show up to work...

Private events at restaurants are often riddled with miscommunications, false impressions, and rude guests/customers. One server took to Reddit, complaining about an entitled, elitist customer she'd come across at a sports event the restaurant she worked at, hosted. Organizers of such events generally relay important information to guests, but it usually lands on deaf ears. This was such a case. She was working with colored lanyards, so she knew which guests were to receive free refills on spir…

The door isn't wide enough.
