Some people are under the impression that the rules don't apply to them, especially at hotels. One person described their experience at a 'no kids' hotel pool area they were at. Another guest had showed up with her kid in tow, and the kid was playing with Star Wars toys which he happily spread around, annoying other pool-goers. The person who witnessed this decided (according to them) to pull a Karen move, even though technically, they weren't really being a Karen. They were simply right. They…

Enforcing a dress code on employees is a tale as old as time. And in some cases, I get it. You knew what you were getting into when starting working there. Other times, I don't get it. That is, when managers are inconsistent in terms of their expectations. One day they say this, the other day they say that… Who is to know what is right? This server was completely at a loss after being kicked off shift for not complying with the dress code… Even though two weeks prior, they had been told that th…

Gee, thanks.

One dude named Steve was a hardworking employee who went above and beyond for his company. He ended up working there a long time… 10 years, in fact. After so much time, Steve was the most senior employee outside of management, and also the best at what he did. What happened? What always happens. A micromanager who couldn't appreciate a good employee, and had to make the office feel like detention. Even though Steve was training new hires, working extra hours, and helping out with other departme…

Oh, to get super sassy at work… We all have that one coworker that just brings out the worst in us. Usually, our pettiness comes from a place of reason. Have you ever had to teach someone a lesson after they proved time and time again that they were lousy workers? This manager got really feisty after her cashier kept arriving 3 hours late to work (yes, you read that right) due to getting her hair and nails done. You would think she'd be fired for being consistently late in this manner, but appa…

Why are micromanagers allowed to manage people, systems, or anything at all? Who put them in charge? They need to be fired, asap. One employee was fed up with their strict office administrator who wrote them up for being 22 seconds late without notice. Suddenly I feel better about my own managers… 22 seconds? Is that a joke? Apparently not. The reason that this employee was late was because a stopped train was literally blocking their car in a rural area on their way to work. As soon as they go…

Guess I'll stay bad at my job

Imagine you pick up a new hobby for yourself after work, and let's say it's a manicure. You buy the kit and work hard at making your nails look good and presentable. Some time and effort later, you feel good enough to help out your friends, whose nails are also hopeless. But first, before you hang out with your friends, you bring it to work, because you don't really feel like driving home and then going out again with your friends. You quickly realize that it was a mistake to bring said kit to…
