We've all had the experience of being overlooked by an employer.

Talk about getting out while you still can!

There are so many things this coworker could have done to avoid these consequences.

Contract work is for people with thick skin — just ask this person, who had to fight to get paid for their work . There's a reason freelance work has a reputation for being more effort than it's worth. It's clients like the woman in this story who make the job pretty thankless. U/No_Concept_9848 told this workplace story to r/MaliciousCompliance. As they wrote, they took on a job creating a brand new website for a client and her husband. They ran a frozen yogurt business and were looking to hav…

This person probably never imagined that a company would take their bad review so seriously. As a company, you rely heavily on your star rating . Lots of places maintain five stars, or sometimes four, but once your business has three stars or less, lots of people will avoid it just based off of that. After all, if enough people have had a negative experience at your restaurant or store, why would a customer bother going in there? Instead, they'd rather go to a place brimming with five star revi…

We sincerely hope this employee doesn't fall for his boss's desperate shenanigans.

How does this boss think that enforcing these ridiculous new rules will make his employees loyal?

This person claims that their boss is only their boss because she just decided she was the Office Manager one day, and everyone went along with it. That seems like a recipe for disaster! You'd think that after working in an industry for ten years, this woman “Kevina” would kind of know what she's doing. The OP, u/alas_vikn, shares that they work at a stone company (and they've gotten in the habit of referring to Kevina's shenanigans as “The Flintstone Chronicles”).

There comes a time in your career when you have to stand up for yourself and stop taking on too much.

Employees aren't making these bosses' workplace tasks easy — at least according to the bosses who told their wildest work stories . In many industries, the difference between a boss and an employee can be just a few dollars more per hour. In exchange for a measly little raise, one gets to be a manager at a retail or food place. You get a tiny raise and a title change, and then you have a ton more responsibilities to handle. But also, if you're a manager you do have some perks, like sneaking off…

This HR lady's blatant lie says just about everything one could say regarding the health of this work environment.

Be careful what you wish for, boss!

Let this story serve as a friendly reminder to never hire your in-laws to work at your company.

When it comes to names, this man is not playing around. Nicknames come naturally to some people, especially if you have a formal name that's common to shorten, like how many Williams go by Billy. Other people gain nicknames that match their career, hobbies, or personality instead. The man in this story from r/AmItheA**hole actually really hates the nickname he's been given by his coworker , and he finally snapped one day. The workplace tale, told by u/notmyd***name, highlights the importance of…

There are numerous workplace red flags in this story, but let's start with the fact that the boss made his problem the employee's problem entirely.

Do people really enjoy being sung “Happy Birthday” by the staffers in restaurants ? Maybe there are two types of people: the kind who really love birthday attention and want to celebrate with everyone around, and the kind who shy away from big displays of attention, like getting the waitstaff to sing for you at restaurants. We've all seen it play out. A family will come in to dine, and one person will find the waiter in private and tell them to surprise the birthday person with cake. That often…
