When people use the term “not leadership material” they can mean a wide variety of things. It can mean that you're not suited to the organization's toxic expectations of complicity and your unwillingness to follow whatever directive is passed down to you blindly. It can also mean that your performance isn't up to standard or that you don't prioritize interpersonal relationships and kiss the appropriate rear ends often enough. “Doesn't do the things I want them to,”

You get a raise, you get a raise, you get a raise!

Everyone's been embarrassed by their parents at some point growing up. More often than not, we accept these embarrassing moments as a part of the adolescent experience. Rarely do we see children grow up harboring a desire to recreate said embarrassing moments but with the roles reversed. Here, we have a playful and wholesome moment when a now 38-year-old Redditor decided to get even with her mother by telling her how much she loves her in a public setting, something her mother used to do when t…

This job interviewer is used to seeing people with padded resumes, but even they were caught off guard by this candidate's blatant lie. It's one thing to lie about small stuff, like maybe you claim to have more experience with Excel than you actually do, or perhaps you fudge your daily responsibilities to make it seem like you were a big shot at your old job. Up next, these people shared the immediate red flags they saw upon walking into someone's house for the first time , like one person who…

Imagine getting in trouble during your first week at a new job because you didn't stand up when your boss entered the room. Who does this employer think he is, a king? You would think in this day and age, given all the cultural conversations we have been having regarding employees' rights and backward workplace behavior, that this would not be allowed. And yet, the other employees in this office, from the bottom of the “food chain” to the top, seem to feel that this is the appropriate standard.…

This worker has taken a hilariously petty tactic to get employees to reply to them. Rest assured, their boss completely hates this tactic, and the internet has informed them how dumb it is, too. Some people refer to “email jobs” as fake work. It's the type of job where you get paid a nice salary and benefits to work 40ish hours per week. Your boss probably doesn't care if you come in a few minutes late or decide to take a long lunch with your colleagues. That's in contrast with retail work or f…

Some people are relentless, but that doesn't mean you should let them have their way. This male nurse had a coworker who could not accept his desire to not be her Man of Honor at her upcoming wedding. Of course, this is a delicate situation, and the Redditor's decision is entirely within his right. Furthermore, based on how the entitled bridezilla coworker responded, it's clear that he's making the right choice. She continued to press the matter further and ended up incessantly bothering him at…

It's never too late to stand up for yourself in the workplace. This company man was the kind of guy who always went above and beyond and was never properly rewarded for that extra effort. After 11 years at the company, he was once again passed over for a big promotion in favor of a much younger, newer coworker. Finally, it was time for this employee to become disillusioned. Now, he understood what all the younger colleagues and coworkers at the office were talking about when folks were doing th…

Caught trying to return a Halloween costume AFTER Halloween... SMH

If you do your job too well, you're simply going to make everyone else look bad by comparison. Instead of earning yourself the praise you deserve, you actually just wind up putting a target on your back while everyone quietly wishes you'd just disappear and stop making all of their jobs harder by setting the bar so high. Usually, your boss won't just come right out and tell you to stop working so hard or being so competent, saying the quiet part out loud would only make them and the team look w…

This coworker has a weird fixation. For some strange reason, he cannot stop thinking about his coworker's college degree. And he isn't just thinking about it: he's been constantly bugging them about it. Up next, check out some really awkward reasons people gave for breaking up with their significant others, like one person who “ said they needed to ‘focus on their plants .’”

Always be careful with the words you say at work, folks! This micromanager was so annoyed by his employee wearing headphones in the office simply because he had to call his nice twice on one occasion. Talk about a power trip! In this day and age, nearly everyone wears headphones in offices to focus. Plus, the employee's line of work never involves serious or dangerous circumstances that would require him not to wear headphones. So when the boss told the employee he never wanted to see him weari…

Ruthless commands never inspire loyalty in an office environment

In every industry, there are things that folks outside of said industry would not necessarily want to know about. For instance, if you're eating at a restaurant and you learn that they don't clean the kitchen nearly enough, you might never want to eat there ever again. If you work at a company and you learn that the truth behind who gets promoted and who doesn't has absolutely nothing to do with merit, you might be discouraged. But like all secrets, the truth is bound to come out, and while it…
