Viral Thread: Worker Fired For Being Late For the First Time, Coworkers Take Action

A worker was fired for being twenty minutes late on their first time committing the offense. According to this viral Reddit thread, their angry coworkers have taken action and vowed to be late every day until the manager gives up and the worker is rehired.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/No_StopItStepbro, who shared the story of what was happening in their workplace. They then proceeded to post a lengthy update in the comments (Items #9-10.)

Other readers weighed in with their experiences and advice.

"In my last job, I was late one time in 6 years," shared user octobereighth. "It was a massive snowstorm. I left for work at 5:00 and was at my desk at 9:05."

"I didn't get fired, but I got a stern talking to that day, and the mfer actually wrote it into my annual review. That being on time was a performance goal for the next year because I was five minutes late one time in a day that took more than four hours to get to work."

"Imagine firing someone for being 20 mins late," remarked CsrfingSafari. "Not only are they potentially in financial peril with paying bills etc, but co-workers now have to do the job a person down. Honestly, some managers should be loaded into a cannon and fired into a break wall due to their short-sightedness. Good luck hope it works."

Funniest Hinge Fail Memes We Saw This Past Week

Hinge has definitely started to become more and more popular in the scary world that is dating apps. Tinder seems to be the place for hookups and hookups only, there isn't much room to show your personality on your profile, and the app doesn't necessarily promote a, "Find a relationship through us" vibe. We don't take issue with this business model at all, some people just want that hookup lifestyle, but the older we get, the less we come across those people. At least in our humble experience. So that's where Hinge comes into play.

 

When using Hinge you have no choice but to be yourself. Unless of course, you are a very skilled impersonater. Building a profile is exhausting enough, with all of the prompts, and questions,  you may as well just answer honestly. But, also, don't get us wrong, even though Hinge has become more popular for stable relationships, the app definitely has its fair share of weird exchanges, and characters. Luckily we've compiled a list of both.

"Secret Shopper" Spills the Tea On What Retail Evaluations Are Really Like

When a PhD student took on a gig as a "secret shopper" in order to get some "extra cash" they were shocked at how dehumanizing the evaluations were. They often found that the evaluations weren't in any way measuring how helpful or personable the workers actually were and instead focused merely on the retail worker's ability to upsell and force customers to buy products that they didn't really want or need. This, unfortunately, is commonplace in a lot of sales-based roles and companies will even fire employees for not lying to customers.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/DishsoapOnASponge, who shared what they experienced with readers on the popular sub in a thread titled "Recently started as a mystery shopper and honestly can't believe what is expected of these employees!"

Readers weighed in in the comments and shared their own experiences.

"I was once mystery-shopped at a Petsmart by someone who asked for help finding food and toys for her guinea pig," shared Rainyqueer1. "We had a great interaction, talked about guinea pig needs, nutrition, etc."

"80% on my mystery shop score because I forgot to ask the GP's name. My bad I guess, but…wow, I'm glad my retail days are over. I just don't care what your rodent's name is."

"I got fired from bb [Best Buy] years ago for failing a secret shop bc i did what was right for the customer," commented user ch4rding. "Good on you for realizing it's a toxic system."

Employee Always Early, System Says They're Late, Boss Freaks Out

A worker was called into their manager immediately called took them aside and warned them that they were accruing a sizeable number of tardies. The thing is… the worker is always early. However, when the clock-in system fails, they end up clocking in late.

If you've ever worked anywhere that uses a system like this, then you know how strict employers can be about NOT clocking in early -lest you earn overtime and throw off their carefully budgeted labor costs. No, you must wait until precisely the moment your shift starts clocking in, but, on the inverse side of things, you'd better not even think about finishing your clock-in even a minute late.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/spraynprayin. They shared their experience with readers to vent and seek advice, which they were more than happy to do in the comments.

"Report them for wage theft due to their app not accepting your real clock in time," suggested user LooseSignificance166.

"This," replied user kirshi3. "A company payroll clock system not working properly 100% of the time all the time is NOT an employee's responsibility to deal with."

"My clock in process is 5 steps that take on average 3-8 minutes to complete. I show up on time, then spend those 3-8 minutes clocking in. It's not my job to begin working early because of a process I don't control."

"OP should indeed submit records to the labor board of every time they've missed out on pay because of this, otherwise the company won't learn."
