'I don't get paid enough to be a team player': Entitled supervisor criticizes employee for not being able to contribute financially to office parties

Many offices like to celebrate their employees, whether it be a birthday, a work anniversary, or even a major accomplishment in their role.

In this particular office, the OP's coworkers are having frequent celebrations, but it's starting to become a financial burden on her. No one in the office seems to empathize with her financial situation as they have significantly...

'We're not paying you for the shoddy work you did': Snow removal starts dispute between neighbors

These two neighbors have a feud that is escalating by the day. So it goes with neighborhood drama : little things can quickly escalate into issues that aren't easy to resolve. Just like with any relationship, there has to be some give and take. If you water plants for your neighbor, they might powerwash your sidewalk while they're washing theirs. Or maybe your neighbor bakes you a great casserole, so you return their dish with some fresh brownies for them to snack on. Life can be so sweet, but…

‘I don’t appreciate the passive-aggression’: Hypocritical roommate spars with tenants over dirty dishes and petty sticky notes

‘I don’t appreciate the passive-aggression’: Hypocritical roommate spars with tenants over dirty dishes and petty sticky notes

Sure, passive-aggressive behavior is not the ideal way to handle an awkward roommate situation, but sometimes, it's the most effective way to make your point heard. If the person with whom you share space has unrealistic expectations of you, you are bound to upset them. Now, if they themselves cannot meet their own expectations if the roles were reversed, then it's about time to give that person a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Oomp…

'My work-life balance is so much better': Employees discuss a four-day work week with 10-hour shifts versus a five-day work week with 8-hour shifts, sparks debate

Whether working from home or commuting to a physical spot, finding a work schedule that works for you is key. It's important to find that work-life balance.

'Only go out and plow if I tell you to': County road supervisor makes a snowy mistake during morning rush hour

This new boss was surprised that some older employees knew better than he did. That was hardly a surprising outcome to the employees, but new managers often feel like they have to make a good impression by bossing everyone around. After all, if they're hired to lead, they think that the most visible way to demonstrate that is to make changes to their workplace immediately. In reality, if they just spent a few minutes talking to their most dedicated employees, they'd probably find out which chan…

Entitled customer sends his steak back to the chef six times, chef enacts petty payback

There should be a cap on the number of times a customer is allowed to send food back to the kitchen. Once is fine and, honestly, should be enough. These people are professionals and if you constantly need to send food back, then you’re the problem or at the very least, there is a huge difference between what you’re asking for and what you want. Now, there is also plenty of wrongdoing happening on the other side of things in this thread, which was posted to Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit. We…

Karen chases customer out of store, employees lock her out with her stuff still inside: 'They just closed and locked the doors'

If there's one person you don't want to mess with, it's an EMT who has just finished their shift… EMTs are some of the hardest working individuals with a job that necessitates sleep deprivation, self-sacrifice, and trauma that reaches far, far above their pay grade. Even a shift for them that is “not bad” would be enough to send the rest of us looking for another line of work. While they're some of the nicest people, every EMT I've ever known personally gets through their job by being partially…

'He ripped us off': Following dinner at restaurant, group hands friend money to pay server, but he keeps the tip for himself

'He ripped us off': Following dinner at restaurant, group hands friend money to pay server, but he keeps the tip for himself

The tipping culture these days is something that has definitely gotten out of hand. Setting aside the ridiculous expectations that people should be tipped for even the smallest of services, even hardworking waiters and servers should be getting their money from their employers, and not have to rely on tips from customers. Still, this is how things are, and a large percentage of waiters' income is in fact, from tips. Which is why this Reddit story is so infuriating. OP went out to dinner with th…
