Boss Forbids Use of Work Truck, Surprised When No Work Is Done


We've all had penny pinching bosses who ask too much, but sometimes they set themselves up for failure. It's not a lot of fun to have a boss who tries to enforce contradicting rules. He didn't really give these guys a choice, and to top it all of, went totally incommunicado. Here's one where management illegally banned overtime pay but IT got it all back.

Right after high school, my friend and I were looking for practically anything to make money and his older brother told us about a job he once had working for this guy washing windows.

Text - Now, this guy owns what appears to be a semi- legitimate business, he has a full shop/garage where he stores cleaning products, big fancy tubs that use sonic waves to wash blinds in and a new (at the time) work truck.

Text - Fast-forward about 5 hours and he calls one of us to ask how things are going, how many jobs we'd finished and if we needed help to get any completed. We explained that we'd been sitting in the shop all day waiting for him to come in so we could get started. Well, at this point he goes fucking ballistic and starts just tearing us up one side and down the other about wasting his time/money and blah blah blah. "Why didn't call me!?" "Who else is there?!"
