When fed-up employees stick it to the man

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Covid is not over. Sure, we may have adapted as a species, but people are still getting sick, and they're still contagious. One redditor's boss threatened their employee with termination after they called in sick with Covid, claiming that they don't have any “time off or sick time” and would be fired after seven days of absence “as per company policy.” Even if OP was sick with the common flu, this boss would still be forcing their employees to work in a…

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…

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…

Signing bonuses. Health insurance. Paid time-off. A good job isn't just about the salary, and often benefits are the main draw of a job for prospective employees . That's why it's totally devastating when shady employers use loopholes to scam their workers out of hard-earned bonuses, holidays, and other promised benefits. Redditor u/FlabertoDimmadome was so indignant on behalf of their brother that they turned to r/antiwork to vent about how an Amazon warehouse was trying to cheat their brother…

Job interviews are one of the more nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing things a person can experience. To take an already stressful situation and crank up the discomfort by throwing some sexual harassment into the mix is downright sociopathic. When u/R_Rover_2013 called out her interviewer after he asked a series of highly personal and inappropriate questions, he threw a fit and ended the interview. I guess he thought asking a potential hiree about what kind of guys she likes to date was a total…

There are many unjust reasons why someone might get fired these days. You can get fired for drinking a tea before you pay for it. You could get fired because a Karen demands it . You can even get fired for simply doing what your company asks of you. However, being sick is one of the cruelest reasons for being terminated without pay.

Horrible bosses are a dime a dozen, but in certain industries, hiring responsible managers is a matter of life and death. When u/Burnandmurder and their coworkers noticed that a couple of their bosses had a habit of getting wasted on the job, they knew they had to do something about it. In OP's line of work, being sober and attentive is of the utmost importance. At first, OP's coworkers didn't have a plan for how they were going to bust their bosses . They needed proof. But then one day, the bo…

Some bosses are truly out of their minds.

The customer probably thinks, “they must really care about their customers, I guess…”
