Many stores have cameras to keep an eye on their employees, but this grocery store worker was totally failed by their workplace's surveillance system. Up next, read about these hilarious group chats gone off the rails, like one person who shared, “My vegetarian sister discovered we were all in a separate group chat... called Secret Meat Up.”

It's always challenging to entertain an opportunity from people who once rejected you. Of course, there are plenty of scenarios in which one should not allow one's ego to keep oneself from a legitimately great opportunity, especially if the initial rejection was polite and sensibly delivered. However, that was certainly not the case with this Redditor's unfortunate situation. He had a previously scheduled interview with human resources for a job opportunity that was then abruptly canceled befor…

No one wants to get booted from their job unexpectedly, but these people had some pretty embarrassing reasons for losing their jobs ! Have you ever had one of those friends who will tell you the wildest story you've ever heard, and then expect you to take their side even though they're clearly wrong? A lot of these people are just like that, displaying the most unhinged behaviors at work, and then expecting their bosses and coworkers to side with them. I know those HR PowerPoint sessions about…

We thought the titular contests of the “Hunger Games” series were just some SciFi hoopla, yet here is this eerily similar real-world equivalent: competing for the privilege of working so that you can continue to support your own survival. In fact, “Hunger Games” is a fitting name given the fact that the arena for this real-world analog was in a restaurant. Everyone who has ever worked in the service industry or retail knows that customer reviews are a total grab bag, you can do nothing exceptio…

The group chat tea is piping hot, gather 'round! Group chats are a convenient way to relay a message to a bunch of people at once, without having to sit down and message each person individually. From broadcasting a message to organizing an event, it's really got endless utility. However, you've got to be cautious with what you say in these group chats ! There are a ton of eyes on your messages, so any mistake can be quickly screenshotted and saved for posterity. Some GC mistakes turn into hila…

Some revenge stories are smellier than others.

A double-edged sword cuts both ways, and you could probably get a paper cut from a double-sided print job, too. Cutting costs might seem like a good idea, but really, you're probably just going to slice right through other important things like customer satisfaction and, by extension, your company's profit. After all, as the old saying goes…You gotta spend money to make money. Overly inflexible policies are almost certainly a double-edged sword. When you demand rigid adherence to rules, leaving…

Working with people who live in a completely different time zone than you do can become extremely challenging. You might be fine with it at first, thinking you would be able to find hours during the workday that works for both sides. But then before you know it, you are answering emails and setting up calls late at night because that is the only time you can get any work done with the other side. When an employee does find themselves in a situation like this, it is important to set up boundarie…

Is it really even petty revenge when you revoke your recently ex-employers' access to your personal software that you paid for and were only using for your work out of goodwill? At that point, you're just reclaiming what was rightfully yours, to begin with, and since the company had been effectively leasing your software license, you might as well go ahead and send them a bill for however long they had been using it, too . It's not your fault if they can't properly invest in the resources neede…

"He wasn't using headphones btw, even though the FA offered - I think he thought the wires would make him look stupid."

We've all wondered what kinds of shady things might go down behind the scenes at big companies—unethical practices, sneaky overcharges, or even just the questionable ways they treat their employees. But unless you're an insider, you rarely get the full scoop. Until now. Recently, someone on Reddit posed the question: "People who are no longer bound by NDAs, what juicy secrets can you expose?" And these ex-employees did not hold back . Over 6.4k people chimed in, sharing some of the most juicy i…

You messed with the wrong lunch

This was not exactly the ideal encounter between a boss and his employee during Employee Appreciation Week! After his office was gifted bagels for the “special occasion,” the employee got scolded by his manager for pausing his work to actually eat his bagel, as if he was supposed to clock out and clock back in all over a bagel (that they gave him!). Let's also take a moment to remind ourselves that the whole construct of Employee Appreciation Week is problematic. It should go without saying tha…

When maintaining million-dollar machines is the singular focus of your work, you'd hope that your manager would leave well enough alone and trust you to know how to do your thing. Alas, when it comes to new management, leaving well enough alone is something that is never in the playbook, a “one-size-fits-all” approach taking precedence over logical reason. This machine operator worked at an aerospace manufacturing company, executing an efficient routine by starting work early to ensure that mac…

Looks like a fun lawsuit

This person's boss had some feedback for them, but it was so vague that the employee was left baffled. Most employees have quarterly or yearly check-ins with their supervisors. It's a good way to manage expectations and address any concerning employee behavior before it becomes a major problem. This person worked on a team of scientists who seem to have some communication issues all around. This employee's boss tried to warn them that they were coming off as “contemptuous” when they spoke to th…
