work

The world of retail work is full of mistaken customers, like this Karen who thought an employee was a line cutter, but it's pretty clear that at many institutions, the people running them also have very little clue of what exactly is going on. In this case, one employee who couldn't care less foisted the Pokémon duties onto some random kids, and when management found out they just thought "oh crap we better pay 'em."

When confronted with the issue of people locking themselves out of their apartments on the weekends, this manager wanted to avoid paying overtime by passing the burden onto their own tenants. The policy was unpopular. As it so often happens with incompetent managers, their plan backfired.

Having a saltwater tank isn't as easy as throwing some salt and water together in a jug like it's Kool-Aid and calling it a day. Karen wasn't having all this "responsible pet owner" talk, so this employee stepped in to show her exactly what she'd need to take care of a starfish. Of course, Karen didn't take kindly to this employee who didn't want her to slowly torture a starfish to death. Will the Karen customersof the world ever learn their lesson? Doubtful.

Karen should've just told the truth from the start, and also not put so much effort into making her coworker's life on the job, miserable. But no, Karen insisted on maintaining a personal vendetta against her coworker, and also lying about a back injury. Well karma came around to collect in the form of perfect timing. The very coworker she dragged down ended up spotting her at the pool hall that an injured person most certainly wouldn't be frequenting. 

It's funny how that works out. Sometimes the people who truly aren't the tech savvy ones assume that they know everything about how the technology is supposed to work. In this case though, it's nice to see that the boss didn't end up being a total monster, and if anything, by the ending it was nothing but nice wholesome vibes. 

The internet stood in judgement of this intriguing case, wherein an overzealous wife of an employee vastly overestimated her powers. Managerial duties don't transfer via osmosis, but she sure felt like she had the authority to get free meals for her friends and fire a waitress who got in her way. Sometimes people's partners have a hard time with reality, like this Karen military wife who demanded salutes or this Lying brother who covered up the fact his wife was the breadwinner.

Getting used to a new work dynamic can be stressful, and this new employee decided that they wouldn't be bullied into participating in free donut day. Instead of just blowing the thing off, they thought to make their point more clear in the form of middle finger donuts. For some more office shenanigans, here's an employee who annoyed their coworker with plants.

After this guy's coworker bullied the office mom to get his way, he stepped in to make sure his coworker's selfish pizza plan didn't come to fruition. The world has its fair share of entitled people and their wild demands, and a whole lot of people who get inadvisable but satisfying petty revenge.

Sure, the get 'er done mentality is an effective way to motivate yourself to complete tough jobs and long hours, but when it's used by your boss to justify lowering you on a backhoe over the side of a cliff, you're entering safety failure territory. Anyone with a physical job is regularly tempted or ordered to take scary shortcuts in the form of safety failures that would make OSHA faint. Gotta admit, jacking a car up with a plastic chair doesn't really seem worth it.

Man, oh, man, it sounds like this particular management team was terribly detached and clueless. They continued to send in uniformed representatives, as their company was proactively losing money, and wasted a whole lot of time when they could've actually resolved the issue. All that it took to set the whole thing in motion was one employee strictly following their contracted hours. 

Oh boy, what we have here is a brutal demonstration of blatant dishonesty. It seems like this woman's friend is waving all kinds of red flags, and wouldn't be the ideal person to end up working with. With that being said, she decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community, and they seem to be in agreement that she ultimately made the right call. 

Work isn't exclusively blood, sweat and losing tools. There's also a lot of ground to cover regarding your lazy incompetent manager and making it harder for newcomers. The work grind takes its toll. That's why some work memes for the hustle as well as the bustle can rekindle a burnt out spirit. 

The internet's never been in short supply of people dishing out gnarly stories of maniacal managers and the righteous revenges that ensued. With that being said, what fun it is to come across a new subreddit dedicated to calling out management for being uncool to their employees. Check out another ridiculous manager story with this lazy Karen manager who let everything fall to pieces. 

In this world, stories of incompetent managers and entitled Karens aren't rare. There are dumb bosses like this manager who suspended an employee and then expected them at their next shift. In the apocalyptic world of entitled Karens, there are tales like this military wife Karen who demanded salutes. But when the two are one in the same, things can get especially ridiculous. At least this one had a happy ending.

This factory thought it could get rid of an employee but keep their game-changing program. It looks like they thought too fast. For another story of an employee getting the better of an ungrateful company, here's an ungrateful psycho boss that got instant karma.
