When one employee stated the obvious, this radio station manager was incensed. Working at a radio station seems like a really fun job. The poster of this story, u/nothingbeast, confirms that, writing that the job was great, but the people were “just terrible.” Their job involved a ton of different tasks since it was a small radio station, but since they enjoyed the work, this employee didn't mind going above and beyond. Trouble often arises when managers assume that their employees will keep up…

You never know when speaking a foreign language comes in handy. Sure, it's useful when you're traveling to another country or when you're trying to communicate with someone who doesn't speak your primary language. However, it can occasionally save you from unexpected problems. Here, we have a Serbian employee in an English-speaking office who accompanied their boss to a meeting with a Serbian business. The employee overheard the businesspeople speaking in their language about how they were esse…

A waiter lost out on hundreds of dollars, but the restaurant's owner acted like nothing was wrong. It's poor management decisions like this that lead employees to quit… and this person did quit on the spot after being treated badly. Some people move from serving to managing and completely forget all the actual problems that waitstaff encounter. It seems like once the apron is off and the newly-appointed manager works on spreadsheets or takes naps in the back office, they stop caring about their…

Apparently, the biggest threat when you're going camping is that you might spot a Karen or two lurking around. This Karen decided it was well within her right to shame another camper for having a nice portable heater to keep him warm on a relatively cold evening. Not only did she overhear him discussing the heater, but she also followed him all the way back to his camper and tried to barge inside and take the heater from him. Eventually, the guy's family saw the commotion and gathered to defend…

One former employee was bitter towards their old job, and rightfully so. You know when you're putting in a lot of overtime, basically pouring your heart and soul into a job, only to be rewarded with minimum wage? Who am I kidding, of course you do. Everyone has worked at a toxic company at one point or another in their lives. And unfortunately, not many of us get the chance to get back at them after we move on to better things. This employee, on the other hand, got their chance. When they had w…

If a place of work requires a dress code, they should provide with the clothes, simple as that. An employee should no go out of their way to find something to wear for a shift, and they definitely should not be reprimanded for not having the right clothes on the odd occasion. The need for uniform is truly understandable, but surely a customer would care more about getting a good service from an employee, than about the color of their shoes. In this Reddit story, an employee had to deal with the…

After accidentally buying a lemon , this person had to practically go to battle with their car dealership. No one ever said it was easy to buy a new or used car. There's tons of information to research about each model, and when you arrive at a dealership, you'll then have to deal with the salespeople. They want to put you in the priciest car with all of the fancy add-ons. But some shady sales associates go even further than that, as u/functi0nalPsych0path found out just after buying their vehi…

No one really wants to work overtime—if you say otherwise, you're lying… or have something else at home that you're avoiding. Who on earth would want to spend a moment longer at work than they had to? Of course, there are exceptions to this—that sweet time and a half pay can be pretty sweet. Still, you'll be rolling your eyes when your boss asks you and weighing up whether or not it's actually worth a better paycheck when you're sacrificing all that time doing things you'd rather be doing. This…

One piece of advice anyone should follow when starting a new job is – get absolutely everything in writing. When you go in to interview for a role, both you and the interviewer might bring up important details on the job and its conditions. If you want to make sure you are actually going to get everything that is talked about, you have to get it all in writing. The employee in this Reddit story should have followed this piece of advice. In this Reddit post, he describes a situation in which he…

It's a great feeling to know that your boss is going to be absolutely lost without you. If the circumstances with which you are leaving your company were at all contentious, there is at least a sliver of satisfaction knowing your former employer will be totally confused and will have so much trouble finding a decent replacement. Of course, it's much healthier to part ways on good terms and with a sense of professionalism. That being said, if your boss fires you because you were providing too ma…

Some folks enjoy stirring up strife and mayhem. We all know who these folks are, even though it may sound harsh. However, what do you do if you encounter those people? Do you give in so as to avoid a confrontation, or do you approach the Karen head-on with courage and confidence? The story that follows relates to the account of a clever father who decides to confront the grocery store Karen directly. The Original Poster (OP) had visited a grocery store with his baby daughter. To pass the time w…

Getting fired stinks, but tricking your new manager into firing you so that you can walk away to your new job with a generous redundancy payout has to be the best way to get let go from a position. That's what this employee managed to do, playing along with their new boss's apparent plot to get rid of them and ensuring that they qualified for a cushy redundancy payout that would see them well compensated. When their new boss started, this IT Manager found themself the target, quickly realizing…

These people could hardly hold back their laughter after overhearing some odd conversations . They say that kids say the darndest things, but so do adults who are chatting in public, thinking that no one can hear them. It’s one of life’s joys to yap a little while you’re on the subway or in an elevator. Maybe there are people around you, but they’re strangers, so who cares if they overhear you? When I am that stranger, I always listen in to other people’s conversations . Maybe I’ll never see yo…

They say every breakup is unique. That would be true if these anecdotes serve as any indication. Sure, there are the standard reasons why people split up: infidelity, different life goals, timing, location, etc. And then there are these folks who shared their breakup stories via the following r/AskReddit thread. Some of my favorites include the girl who was dumped because her now ex-boyfriend got a dog and realized he couldn't balance the two. Then, there is the person who got dumped because th…

A lot of folks are not in touch with reality . They just live in their own blissful little bubble, unaware of life's hardships. These people are usually wealthy. Money can help you solve any problem, or ignore almost anything. Got kids? Hire three nannies ! You're working too hard? Just take a long vacation and then earn more money! See, it's so easy! On r/askreddit, u/mouldygoldie asked people to share the most severe cases of being out of touch with the world. There were some hilarious exampl…
