The slog continues

So selfish

So irresponsible

An ode to Monday

It's usually not easy to pursue your hobbies as a career. Most hobbies are hobbies for a reason, and that reason is that they're more fun to do than your job. Often, people work years and years to ever financially get into a position where they can leave their day job in pursuit of their hobbies. However, sometimes you get a golden opportunity to switch careers that you can't pass up. For Redditor u/the_anecdotist135 , this didn't come in the form of a competitive job offer or even a concrete o…

Sometimes you have to show a boss how stupid their request is by doing exactly what they say. In redditor u/SignSavings9270 's case, the request was so stupid, they actually got written up and literally charged with “malicious compliance” in a disciplinary hearing for doing as they were told. Let this be a lesson to everyone out there with an incompetent boss —if they tell you to do something ridiculous and counterproductive, make sure you get the request in writing.

Don't you just love it when horrible bosses accidentally out themselves by being total a-holes on public forums? When u/ cupofteaf found out that their past workplace had shut down for good, they found some screenshottable gold right up r/ antiwork's alley. It was a negative, one-star review criticizing the restaurant for its bad hygiene practices and poor working conditions. The restaurant owner replied to the review with an angry rant full of empty threats and terrible grammar. Needless to sa…

Completely unfair

Taking down CEOs, one observation at a time

We see a lot of work horror stories on Reddit - and experience them in real life. I've had several bosses say disgusting things to me (one was, surprisingly, a lawyer) and have suffered from being underpaid and underappreciated for the bulk of my life. And while those plights are pretty awful, they've never straight up committed a crime against me. You'd think a business owner would want to avoid a situation like that, but according to Redditor u/Tronlon, there are, in fact, bosses out there wh…

Maybe he should pay him more? Just a thought

Making money moves

Some bosses seem to really go out of their way to be complete a-holes. What's the point of cheating an already underpaid employee out of £20? At that point it's not just about money—it's about exploiting your position of power to take advantage of people just because you can, and that's pretty twisted. One redditor recently shared a text exchange between a restaurant owner and his new employee , who had initially messaged him inquiring about missing wages. Keep scrolling to see how the infuriat…

Trying to find new employees after losing multiple staff members is tricky. You want to hire people quickly, but you don't want to onboard any rube off the street who just happened to apply. You want the job posting to come off as appealing and not desperate. Whatever you do, you don't want to say that you're "always hiring" because that's the biggest red flag in all of recruiting. Well, almost the biggest red flag. Last year, a hiring/temporary closing sign went viral . This handwritten notice…

Ridiculous!

Wholesome malicious compliance
