For context, the entitled coworker who had to wait because of a delayed flight was, in fact, the pilot. Our hero, the OP who tricked him into waiting for two hours, was part of the crew. You think the pilot would know when his flight is delayed, right? Wrong. That just shows you the VIP entitlement complex this man has. But for real, he deserved it for doing this...

Traveling memes for workers who desperately need a vacation

These employees jumped ship en masse after new management dug their heels a little too deep in the ground. One worker led the rest of the employees who worked as technicians to another company. The result should have been obvious to the new manager in hindsight, but hey, 20/20 always comes after everything goes to shambles. What happened goes as follows… OP was working as the foreman at a food distribution company with a fleet of about 100 units total. The company hired this new guy who had no…

This long-time employee was wise beyond his years as he let a new hire try to make changes in their company's warehouse . He knew that you can't always make people listen to common sense. Some people just want to be correct 100% of the time so that they feel powerful. Instead of wasting his breath on arguing, this long-term employee just shrugged his shoulders and let the manager handle it his way. New hires often feel like they have something to prove. Especially managers---they think that sin…

Entry-level positions should never be expected to be available to clients 24/7– that's the work of upper management jobs who send one email a day and make a quarter million (+) per year. Life's all about balance, and when your work-life balance is disrupted, company hierarchies can get challenged...

When employees are struggling to get a raise, fighting for overtime pay, nitpicking for a day more of PTO, it really grinds their gears when the out of touch boss asks THEM for money. However, as we all know, the audacity of C-level management and supervisors knows no bounds.

When you want to get the most amount of food for your money, it's time to head to your local all-you-can-eat buffet . Going to buffets was always a treat when I was a child. When you walk into a buffet, you're overwhelmed with the delicious smells and dozens of food choices. Whether you want roast turkey or green beans or cheesecake, an all-you-can-eat spot is bound to have a massive selection. I always loved getting both mashed potatoes and fries, and dipping the fries in the mashed potatoes.…

This dude got the deal of a lifetime , and he did it completely by accident. One day, this guy went to wander around a big box hardware store to check out their lawnmowers. When you're making a big purchase like that, it helps to see the machines in person, instead of just relying on the internet. This guy found an especially great deal, because the store's display lawn mower was up for sale. As with lots of big purchases, usually you have to check out several stores and be prepared before buyi…

When you're desperate for work, sometimes accepting an under-the-table job is your only option. The cash is quick, the work is flexible, and now you can add a little extra padding to your wallet on the side; but occasionally you're stuck with an untrustworthy, shady dude as your new boss. An employer that's willing to bend the rules on legally paying their employees can't always be trusted to follow the ledgers when it comes to payday.

'Don't take advantage of a nice thing or it may go away', said u/tKLogicTA, who revoked his employees' privileges after they managed to finish 400 bags of chips in 3 weeks. Let's start at the beginning. OP opened a shop about 10 years ago, where he was working as a full-time mechanic. As time went on, he allowed himself to lay back a bit and relax. Taking on a more entrepreneurial role, he began broadening his horizons, acquiring more properties and businesses. He still made sure to visit the s…

Quite some time has passed since I've last been fired, but the mortifying memory remains carefully carved into my awkward brain, still causing me to shudder when I think about it. I'm sure I have told this story before, but for those of you who are new, I shall suck up the embarrassment and retell it. Back in my tyrannical teenage years, I was looking for a job. Sixteen at the time, I wasn't actually all that tyrannical. I liked to think I had the guts to do anything, but the truth is I was act…

Companies want as much productivity as possible, claiming that they want to attract the best and brightest candidates—not that they're going to pay those candidates what they deserve. If they accidentally do manage to land one of these workers, they'll wish they hadn't when the new worker arrives and shows everyone up, sparking an internal dilemma and drawing jealousy, ire, and suspicions of the mediocre veteran workers. If you do this, there are chances that you won't find praise and will, rat…

Have you ever been so good at your job that you get rewarded by having more responsibilities throw onto your plate? The more efficient you are in your job, the more likely you are to be doing the work of several other employees. Naturally, being an invaluable employee would never earn you a well-deserved raise, but in this case, one man figured out a loophole in order to get paid for the amount of work he was doing.

Getting injured at work—while terribly unfortunate—is basically a “Get Out of Jail Free" card, which ensures your workplace isn't going to cross you or try any funny business any time soon… at least it should be. Any employer in their right mind knows that if an employee gets injured in the workplace, they should stay well clear and follow the advice of medical professionals and let the L&I claim play out. Even after the employee returns they know they'll likely be safe from anything action tha…

Getting a good job is nearly impossible these days. One man learned that in today's America, you gotta be a little ruthless, a little dastardly, and extremely cunning in order to get everything you want out of a job. In this case, OP was a minimum wage worker who was living with his parents who hacked the system with a little white lie...

The bad part about an unpaid lunch break is there's a whole hour in the middle of your day that you're not getting paid for, meaning you're stuck at work for that much longer before you finally get to escape the prison and go home. On the other hand, the great part about an unpaid lunch break is there's a whole hour in the middle of your day that you get to yourself to eat your lunch, get out for a walk, and worry about other things in life outside of your to-do list and your boss's whims. Of c…
