The restaurant industry is unpredictable, and there is always a high turnover rate. Employees come and go, to and fro, to here and there. Not all managers know how to successfully navigate the trenches of employment. In this case, a manager flipped out at OP for ‘telling on them’, AKA for informing upper management about the fact this boss was selling $1,000 worth of expired food to customers at a restaurant. Moreover, OP was informed that they were going to be paid on a certain day, but that p…

Venturing forth into the unknown is a challenging experience, and the comforts of the assured often keep us from starting that journey. The tug-of-war between known and unknown take place as a theme stretching back throughout human existence, with the desire for change, for “better,” causing us to seek out novel experiences—the fear of ending up worse off keeping them from pursuing them. This has been a commonly discussed topic on our site as of late, as it often plays significantly into our ci…

Sometimes, revenge can be a healthy motivator! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977 , a college student who received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Now, typically, I would not spend a breath of energy defending someone who is mad about an A-; however, the fact that the professor had no better reason for the grade and simply wanted to be difficult just goes to show that this was not a fair si…

Some might say that it's insane to demand your friend pay you reparations for getting you fired from your job after you stole from them… and that's because they're right. It is insane to think that anyone owes you anything resulting from the consequences of your own actions. This woman posted on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, wondering whether or not she was in the wrong for getting her friend fired, who she suspected was stealing from her. This friend had come over to a gathering at her h…

Never cheat on a welder!

People tend to get very close with their coworkers at each job they're at. After all, if you spend 8 plus hours each day with the same people, you spend a lot of time talking, collaborating, and getting to know each other. Even if it seems like you know everything there is to know about your work bestie's personal life, you may never see them outside of work! So it's hard to know what they're actually like, beyond the information they tell you. Some of these people below couldn't believe their…

Three cats and one crazy cat lady is a big ask.

Not only is approaching your boss and asking for a raise legitimate, but it is also inevitable, especially when you find yourself doing many more tasks than your original job description entailed. Unfortunately for OP, they were denied a $1 raise from their boss, even though they were working two job descriptions instead of one. OP had no choice but to look for another job in addition to the one they were already doing. Lo and behold, OP's company was more than willing to pay that extra dollar,…

Working overtime is basically your employer admitting they haven't hired enough people. Thankfully laws that require increased compensation for overtime end up forcing a win-win; Employers get extra coverage in peak times, and employees get better compensation for working longer, often unscheduled hours. That is, if you're not a salaried worker and don't live somewhere where these laws don't exist. This worker, luckily, was in an industry that mandated strict overtime for any hours worked over…

This mom is taking family participation a bit too far. This woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole to share her story and ask for people's opinions , but she's definitely not going to like the answers she's receiving in the comments. As the OP, u/Thick-Studio-4277, shared in her post, her daughter Penelope is 12 years old, and she has a spring show that she was performing in. The OP didn't really take this show seriously, which is a big mistake on her part! Preteens take things like that very seriously…

Traveling to customer sites to analyze defective products means traversing under a corporate travel policy. In this case, OP was given a certain allowance according to his company's corporate travel policy, which he followed vigorously. OP actually skimped out on expenses as much as possible to make sure he wasn't costing the company too much money, so he didn't even max out his allowance. That is until his boss called him into his office for a proper scolding after he had allegedly ‘overtipped…

It's all well and good to want things to be fair. After all, things being unfair—well… isn't fair. But, if you demand fairness, you'd better be well and truly sure that you actually deserve more than you're already getting. Otherwise, you might very well end up with less. Conflict emerged when this neighbor's kid demanded that he receive "half the money" from a bake sale when he decided he was bored and wanted to go home early. He wasn't even willing to stay the full duration and put in the wor…

Everyone has had that moment of panic on Zoom when you thought you were on mute but you weren't.

Sometimes, the most random thoughts are the most profound.

If you drive, you already know how many people with licenses really shouldn't have received theirs. After all, lots of folks take drivers ed as a teenager, learn the rules well enough to pass their test, and then just keep driving for the rest of their lives without getting much better at it. Check out these hilariously parked people below (plus a few clever signs designed just to tell them off). Then, read this story about a waitress whose outfit choice was questioned by the diners she was ser…

If this isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.
