Get a load of the audacity on this office food thief! This woman was muddling through the sleep-deprived existence of raising a new baby, while working a job, and as it turns out, dealing with the antics of an office food thief. Eventually, the office food thief's blind greed boiled over to such a point that they were opening new packages of food and leaving the wrappers around. The woman had enough, and took her revenge with the help of a nanny cam. Smooth move.

This person was told that they should be aware of their work schedule even when they receive a schedule change with absolutely no notice, so they took their incompetent manager's advice to heart. While this seems like a lot of effort just to get under the skin of your annoying employer, it seems like it totally worked and it's kind of awesome. Here's a time when an employee got back at their horrible manager by giving them a uniquely confusing schedule.
Never know when you might wake up and just not have it in you to tackle the day. Maybe you're emotionally spent, and in dire need of a day to regenerate health across all fronts. Maybe that one sick day is the world of difference you need to get back on the work grind with necessary energy. If that sounds like it could be the case for you, or even might be in the future, these bits of "fake sick advice" could come in handy.
Twitter user @mo87mo87 started a thread about work email fails, and people were quick to offer their excruciating experiences. Many of us have lived to regret sending off an email or text without taking the extra minute to make sure it's without typos. Nothing compares to that moment of profound panic right when you hit "send" and realize what you've done.
Many of us have found ourselves in the middle of a job we didn't like because we failed to ask the right questions during the job interview process. It's essential to use that job interview to ask worthwhile questions of your own. These might help with a framework for what to ask.
What a ride. And that's what makes this the latest revenge of the week. We've got a greedy business owner blinded by a ravenous hunger for more money at the expense of hard-working employees, and then we've got the employees: a crew of 50-some people that come together and show the power of teamwork in the face of an unjust obstacle. Good stuff.
When the topic of raises came up, this store manager decided to send out a company-wide email forbidding employees from openly discussing their salaries. The problem there is that that violates labor laws, and this genius decided to put their policy into writing. An unfair boss can be the source of drama and justice, like this security guard who go the last laugh or this manager who tried to fire an employee for following the rules.
This employee's boss ended up getting burned in the long run as result of his own BS. Specifically, he stopped the very deserving employee from getting a promotion because he didn't want to worry about hiring for the night shift position. Well, the boss' self-motivated laziness ended up contributing toward his downfall in the long run.
Imagine being denied a promotion because you're deemed unqualified for a job you already do. Sometimes, when work is unfair enough, overworked employees can revolt by literally just doing their job description. When people apply themselves they can become lords of efficiency, opting to work smarter and not harder.
People that have worked as pizza delivery employees are dishing out their strangest experiences while on the job. Whether it's opening the door to scantily-clothed lunatics, or being greeted by a dude with a literal ball python, you never know what kind of curveball that job might throw you. Working as a pizza delivery guy puts you on the frontline of navigating people's weirdest habits, to get them their damn pizza. Sounds like a fun job.
Twitter user @delia_p started a thread on what the actual meanings behind various corporate catchphrases are. The corporate world can inspire all kinds of deceptive lingo and forced written pleasantries between people that'd just as much rather never say anything to each other. The following can serve as a potentially helpful and hilariously relatable list of what some of those corporate catchphrases actually mean, next time you read one in an email.
Interviewing for a new job can be a terrifying and soul-draining process. We put ourselves out there and try to do a decent enough job at selling ourselves to a willing company. Sometimes it goes well, and sometimes you leave the room with a sour taste in your mouth, convinced that you'll never be seeing that person again. These job interview memes speak to the struggles of the job interview process.
Twitter users are sharing the strangest things their coworkers say. It could be something as simple as an enthused "good morning" from a coworker that always seems to wake up on the right side of the bed, while you are busy cursing the daily morning grind. Or maybe, it's genuinely puzzling nonsense from clueless coworkers that has you scratching your head. Some of these might ring a bell.
Some days are easier to adult than others. If you ever wake up and reach the bold conclusion that it's time to call out sick from work, you might find yourself getting very creative when it comes to hatching up an excuse. Some people have no limits when it comes to the "reasons" they're calling out sick from work.
Working for a big company can be weird. The lack of oversight can be strange, like this guy who was never told to do anything and stayed on for months. What gets extra strange is when the company starts to tank. Bosses stop responding to emails, the stores themselves begin to degrade, and people stop showing up. Here are people who know what it was like to work for a big failing company.
This security guard found themselves in a terrifying, potentially life-threatening situation with an employer that wasn't going to budge. Eventually, things shook out in their favor. Sometimes employees take a more direct approach, like the way these workers responded to their boss saying they were unqualified for their job.
