Not a wise decision

Surely they can afford two smoke breaks

Talk smack, get whacked

*Surprised Pikachu face*

At least they dodged a bullet

Weddings are stressful enough as it is. Hundreds of hours of planning and thousands of dollars go into this one day, and if you're the bride or the groom, you want it to be perfect. Unfortunately, wedding venues are not perfect, especially churches. If you want a church wedding, you'll likely have to put a lot of time and effort into schmoozing the church for them even to consider you eligible for a wedding in their fine institution. If you can get past that point of gatekeeping, you have to ta…

Do you ever think about all the infrastructure that holds society together and wonder what Big Industry looks like behind the scenes? Turns out every trade has its idiots who somehow got to run the show and hire their idiot friends and relatives to do dangerous and critical jobs. According to one redditor's lengthy (and captivating) tale of malicious compliance, the energy sector is no exception. I don't know who needs to hear this, but you probably shouldn't fire the only person who knows how…

Ridiculous!

I do not envy anyone who has to fire others. Letting somebody down easy is a skill I simply don't have. Every time I've broken up with someone, I have done it clunkily and a bit insensitively, which is really not ideal for delivering bad news . You need to tell the other person what's happening directly, but not too directly. You need to be empathetic first and informative second. You need to make sure they cry after you fire them instead of when they're in the room with you. It's a tricky bala…

Yikes!

Everyone gets some sick satisfaction from overhearing someone talking smack about you, especially someone you've been suspicious about from the jump. When someone talks about you behind their back, they have all the power. However, when you overhear the sh*t talking, you get some of the power back and are at least able to defend yourself against their claims about you. This Uno Reverse Card puts the sh*t-talker in an awkward position because you were never really supposed to know what they felt…

There's nothing worse than getting laid off . Just kidding, there is something objectively worse than that: finding out you're getting laid off from an outside source days before it happens. Being terminated without pay is possibly worse than getting let go, but getting let go always feels somewhat slimy, especially when your department is seemingly cut for no reason. Getting laid off is like saying, “we'll give you a little unemployment as a treat.” It's seemingly innocuous, but it's just anot…

Employment can be a real piece of work. Being the underling of your boss can go sour quickly. As anyone in the workforce knows, employers are often more than willing to take advantage of their employees because they think they can get away with it. Horrible bosses believe they can squeeze the life out of their workers and continue doing so because they don't think they will ever quit. Who among us hasn't had a boss who watches our every move, making you terrified of making one error to risk bei…

Overreact much?

Sometimes things work out.

This employee was accused of claiming hours they had not worked, with the employer demanding repayment of the supposed wages under the threat of lawsuit. The employee, Reddit user u/disappoint-mint, turned to this popular Reddit subreddit in order to seek advice and share their story. They posted their story to the popular Reddit subreddit r/antiwork in a thread titled “I was fired am being told I need to repay $1,100." This
