Anyone who's worked a bunch of jobs in their lifetime has likely experienced a volatile work environment at some point, but these stories from a recent r/AskReddit thread are seriously next level. I doubt many people have had to deal with the head of a rabies-infested javelina on their first day of work, or chase down some disembodied lobster tails running around a grocery store. Whether these tales of employment are totally shocking or all too familiar, anyone can relate to that moment where you think 'damn, I don't get paid enough for this shit.'

Karens demand to see the manager. Apparently Hank Hills threaten you with violence if you don't fetch 'em. Imgur user AWoodenMan, who admits to adoring King of the Hill, has made quite a case that Hank Hill is a villain where engaging with workers is concerned. We didn't want to believe it, but the proof is in the screen caps. The Texan is not nice to anyone who is just trying to do their job.

Recently, there have been a few conservative executives warning their employees that there might be consequences if Obama was reelected. The Koch brothers even sent employees a list of candidates they supported. While not strictly illegal it is at least ethically questionable.
Turns out on June 6, Mitt Romney led a conference call with the National Federation of Independent Business where he suggested that tactic to the bosses in audience. The advice in question begins at 26:00.
"I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections. And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, I hope — I hope you pass those along to your employees. Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision and of course doing that with your family and your kids as well."
