This new manager did their part to break the cycle of homelessness and help out the guy camped out behind their restaurant by giving him a job. Reminds us of this donut shop manager who handled a customer's angry review. Here are some wholesome memes to go with the theme of people helping each other out.
People often find after they're hired that their job description doesn't cover nearly as much as what they're actually expected to do. Already stretched to the limit with a dwindling and under-qualified staff, this guy was asked to "do his job" so that's exactly what he did. People have different responses to being bullied at work, like this employee who prank fires themselves or this guy who stood up to his boss who didn't allow sick days.
People overlook the day-to-day frustration of working in retail, service, and anywhere else where you might come into contact with a wild Karen. Anyone who has worked a physically demanding job for very little pay has a special type of appreciation for less demanding work, and a special type of disdain for a life-long office type who's never had to get their hands dirty. This Tumblr user got to see their coworker have a learning moment.
Some of the greatest innovations at work come from human laziness. It's just not a good idea to work extra hard when you can think of a way to do the same work more efficiently. That said, don't do too good of a job or your boss might find out that you don't need to work there anymore. One or two of these definitely backfired. And a few definitely weren't as smart as the person first thought.
Who even cares if this one's fake. The imaginative conversation revolving around what one would do if their boss texted them telling them to come in, is entertaining enough. Sometimes the best course of action is to just play dumb, and act like it's the wrong number.
This rude startup company has take it upon themselves to design toilets intentionally tilted to such an angle, that workers won't want to sit on the toilet for longer than five minutes.

Unfortunately, no, it's not.

These good dogs have important responsibilities like finding things and calming people down. These dogs are the answer to the question "who's responsible? Oh boy, who's responsible?" For more dogs, here are tired dogs in awkward sleeping positions and stuck dogs who need a hand.
This prospective employee absolutely demonstrated a willingness to do whatever it takes to show up for the job. When they found themselves in the nightmarish situation of getting stuck in a bathroom stall, they proceeded to kick their way out to make the job interview. Now that's a promising display of dedication. Give this person a job!
From what we know about relationships, this would be more acceptable on the third day. Anyway, an equipment failure led to this construction worker having a very intimate first day with his new boss. For a more heroic construction story, here's one about an incompetent owner who mistakenly fired a special contractor and then came crawling back.
The workplace environment can really end up being a game of thrones for some employees. In this case, an employee tried out all their manipulative tactics on a fellow co-worker, to get a shady manager who was trying to get them fired, fired first. Definitely more of a petty revenge than a pro revenge. Sounds like a tough place to work. Everyone is just trying to get each other fired.
