Management often concentrates all of their efforts on one area, meaning that they put the bulk of a couple of jobs onto one employee, risking it all. You have got to hand it to them, as it is quite brave of them to so boldly assume one person will WANT to take on so much responsibility, and then that they will be able to want to continue with it consistently. So the saying, ‘Don't put all your eggs in one basket' definitely applies here… One manager who (shocker) did not know how to do his job,…

Think about your team, the grouchy manager (who most certainly did not think of the team himself) bellowed. This was a simple manipulation tactic he liked to apply when employees got a little too 'independent'. What a generation, he must have thought while rolling his eyes. 'Dare ask for one shift a month off back in my day and you would have gotten fired.'

From the very beginning, things just weren't ru…

One boss was forced to sheepishly backtrack after initially refusing to give a worker one week off once their wife gave birth to their newborn baby. Management really outdid themselves with this one… It seems ridiculously unfair to think that some bosses will not willingly give their workers requested time off, especially when it is well within the workers' rights to receive it. In this case, u/P4ddyC4ke, the OP, told the story of when his boss told him that because they were short-staffed, OP…
