‘You're bringing tension to the office’: Employee confronts new hire after they refused to listen to her training, new hire claims they can figure out everything on their own

In every scenario, there can be more than one way to do things correctly, especially when it comes to work. Not everyone, even if they have the same role, does everything in the exact same way, and that is completely reasonable. Every employee finds their own rhythm and methods to do their job, and as long as the job gets done well, there shouldn't be any problems. When a new hire comes in, it makes sense that they would turn to their coworkers for guidance, but it is not a necessity. If they f…

'Are you kidding me?': Dentist of 8 years expected to train new hire, quits after learning employee makes the same salary with zero experience

After remaining loyal to a company for several years, what would be the final straw for you to call it quits? If you don't have any work drama, the most common answer is probably for a better salary elsewhere. Lots of employees boast about job hopping in their early career in order to reach a desired salary. Some even claim that it's the only way to significantly increase their earnings, as a lot of jobs don't give regular raises, and if they do, they are hardly enough to keep up with inflati...

Trainer scolds new hire in front of entire office, causing the new employee to file their resignation, manager steps in: 'Give it another two weeks'

Training a new hire is an important job not only because you are in charge of getting them familiar with their new job and responsibilities, but also because you are their gateway to understanding everything about their new workplace. That means that the way trainers treat new employees, and the way they act around them is going to be all they know of the company at least at the beginning, so you'd think they would want to make a good impression. Not the trainers in this Reddit story, they coul…

Beancounters Foolishly Refuse to Pay an Employee's $15/Annual Dues, End Up Getting Charged $100 for Required Training As a Result

In some fields, continued education is a requirement. As we all know, knowledge is a powerful thing, so to remain updated and educated in the specificities of your career is to remain at the top of your game in the workplace. With education also being a 'luxurious' expense, this kind of cerebral maintenance isn't something that's prioritized by the beancounters in the backroom.

‘I went back to the station and quit’: Senior firefighter quits after 7 years after being written up by demanding manager

‘I went back to the station and quit’: Senior firefighter quits after 7 years after being written up by demanding manager

Paid or unpaid, it seems like the best workers always get terminated. I see this a lot in my line of work… People who work hard don't get a return on their endless commitment. Why bother putting in lots of effort if it goes unappreciated? It seems as though managers don't know how to keep their employees happy. This firefighter was volunteering at a local fire station for seven years when he finally had enough of upper management and their ridiculous demands. From asking him to work 28 twelve-h…

'The most satisfying moment of my life': Data-entry worker fires a 'Florida Man' before he can finish his new hire paperwork

This new employee just didn't have what it took to succeed on an oil farm . One oil farm employee worked as a data entry specialist, and encountered this new worker who absolutely refused to take orders from her. Her “orders” were just filling out basic paperwork… but somehow this Florida Man thought that that was emasculating to him. Not to mention that the OP was just 17 years old at the time, which just gave this Florida Man more reason to be angry with her. As people in the comments noted,…

'They stole my boss's wallet on camera': 20+ Employees who got fired as fast as possible

Getting a new coworker at your job is always interesting. Some people you immediately click with, others you don't, but either way, you're going to get to know them as you begin to work together.

That's truly impressive! And it doesn't even seem to be that uncommon. You learn this is especially true f…

'She was trying to steal': Scammy Karen tries to use a fake '99% off' coupon to swindle the cashier, gets pinched by the cops instead

It seems like we're always getting email promos for 10% off or 20% discounts to our favorite retail stores. Very rarely, you see a 40-50% sale and only when a store is going out of business do you catch anything higher than 75% off. That's why when one cashier spotted a Karen waltzing into their store with a 99% off coupon, they smelled something fishy.

'I ripped those bags out of her hands': Greedy Karen steals all of the food at a company event, leaving nothing for the others and making enemies in the process

Sometimes a company will have little shindigs and events to thank their employees for a job well done. Even though every employee would prefer a raise as a ‘thank you’, we'll take what we can get, even if it's just free food and more time spent with people you see nearly every day of the week. In this case, one employee took the free food concept a little too far.
