Guy Accidentally Becomes Ghost Employee With No Work to Do After Boss Gets Fired

Every underachiever has the same dream job: one that doesn't require them to do any work . Achieving this sort of career in doing absolutely nothing is pretty rare, but stumbling into one completely by accident is the stuff of fairytales. This is precisely what happened to u/jerichomega , who recently confessed to r/antiwork that they basically won the job lottery. After their direct manager got the boot, OP had no one to answer to and miraculously, no one has given them any work to do for seve…

Shady Boss Tries to Get Away With Wage Theft, Employee Hits Him With Genius Response

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…

'Baby Boomers Only': Business Owner Insults Gen Z Former Employees in Desperate Help Wanted Sign

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…

Newspaper Manager Refuses to Pay Overtime, Reporter Maliciously Complies and Abandons Murder Scene

Some bosses will literally hurt their own business before paying their employees what they're owed, and this redditor's story is a perfect example. When u/Longjumping_Bad9555 requested compensation for working sixty hours of overtime, their manager refused, arguing that the hours hadn't been authorized prior to the request. The thing is, OP was a reporter for a newspaper—the sort of high-paced job that doesn't often come with enough downtime to put in an OT request while chasing a news story. S…

'We are professionals and that is what's expected of us': Horrible Boss Demands Employees Work 60+ Hours Per Week

You can only work so many hours every week before you crack. While some think 40 hours a week is a back-breaking amount of working hours, others must tolerate 50-60 hours of weekly work to stay afloat financially. In my opinion, that's when you start getting a bit loopy. If you're working nearly every day without any breaks, you put yourself at risk for long-term health issues and general distress. If you have no time for loved ones or hobbies, then what is the hard work really for? Some people…

Employee Welcomes Customers to 'McDondald's' Folllowing Manager's Unreasonable Request to Follow Script

Sometimes the only way to make a job less miserable is to turn it into a game for yourself, or to have a little bit of harmless fun with customers. That's exactly what one redditor did at their McDonald's job, and the customers loved them for it. Sounds like a win-win for both employee and patron, right? Well, that's not how management saw it. Instead of praising their employee for being such a big hit with customers, the boss demanded that the employee follow the official corporate script to a…

Tutoring Company Forbids Students From Drinking Water Because 'They've Had Spills'

When you're a kid, you always have arbitrary rules thrust upon you for stupid reasons. In elementary school , we were only allowed to wear hats on Fridays, which as a hat girl, I found ridiculous. How is wearing a hat any more distracting than not wearing a hat? I would understand if hats were banned in order to prevent the spread of lice, but they weren't! They just wanted to restrict our freedom a bit more. Sometimes, teachers and educators can circumvent rules that are unfair. My 3rd-grade t…

Underpaid Worker Gets Berated by Boss for Salvaging Perfectly Good Food From Dumpster

When I was a teenager, a certain upscale grocery store chain in my hometown got exposed for dumping bleach into their dumpsters (usually full of perfectly good food) to prevent people from dumpster diving. When I found out about this, I was dumbfounded. Did they really think the sort of people who could afford to shop at their bougie grocery stores would immediately stop shopping and start rummaging through their dumpsters the moment they found out they throw away perfectly good food? No, obvio…
