‘Jobs these days [hate] on introverts even when they actually do their job well’ : Mechanic with outstanding workmanship gets poor review due to being an introvert, which causes his raise to be cut

Life is already hard being an introvert. Humans are pack animals, but when you're an introvert you just want to be left alone. You have your few core people that respect your boundaries and those are the only people you want to hang out with. Why do you have to go and be socials with a bunch of strangers all the time? Or for that matter, why do you even have to go and hang with your coworkers? Shouldn't there be a divide between work and play anyways?

This is the argument one introvert employee has for his management right now. He recently had a work review that would have been outstanding if it weren't for the comments saying he wasn't social enough. This man is a nightshift bus mechanic and doesn't really need to speak with anybody to do his job well—and he does his job expertly well. So what's the deal? Is he really getting a poor review just because he doesn't want to socialize while at work? He also mentions that the work "social" environment is toxic and all the do is talk badly about whoever isn't on that shift that day. He doesn't want any part of that, why should he get punished? His review determines the percentage of a raise he gets, so now he is getting punished financially just because he is an introvert.

'Welcome to the bare minimum': Sneaky supervisor lies about shift change, so employee decides to act their wage

Although this boss thought he was being sly, he actually ended up making a long-time employee "quiet quit" their job. 

Imagine you work the same exact shift for nearly a decade, and then suddenly, your boss wants to change your hours. That was what happened to u/Badwolf2012, who shared their tale of this slow-moving catastrophe with r/pettyrevenge. Their boss basically told all the workers that they could take a vote to determine the best new work schedule to abide by. But he didn't even follow his own rules, and his workers clearly noticed the shady move. 

The OP took to the comments section to answer questions, and promised an update in the future. We can't wait to hear more about how the department is slowly deteriorating — the OP definitely needs a new job, though. 

Then, check out another bad boss who did basically nothing at his job, leading his employees to stop doing anything extra to help him out. 

'AITA for telling my boss I don't trust him anymore?': Boss hits interns car, then gets majorly upset when intern won't park near him anymore

This intern might have ruined their relationship with their boss, with one person scolding them, "This was very immature on your part."

Being an intern at a company involves a lot of meeting new people, doing tasks you've never done before, and learning about an entire field of work. This intern isn't exactly getting along with their boss, and they seem to be leaving a bad impression, too. 

As u/FabulousLikeHer posed to the r/AmItheA**hole community, they had a car accident with their boss in the company parking lot. It wasn't just any car — the OP has a sports car, which they write that they saved up for. One day, their boss managed to sideswipe the vehicle, leaving the OP with a dented car. After going through insurance formalities, the OP tried to park a little further away from their boss. Their boss took major offense to that, though. In the comments, no one could agree who was the a** in this situation, but the OP notes that just writing out the whole scenario helped them find clarity.

'If I see them, I bin them': Coworker brings personal dishes in from home to make coworkers wash them, they end up in the trash

Sometimes an inappropriate action deserves the appropriate response; it's the simple laws of cause and effect acting out their parts. This is how it was when worker u/elena247's coworker decided to execute the clever ploy of bringing their dirty dishes to work to have others wash them. When u/elena247 discovered what their coworker was up to, they decided the appropriate response was to introduce the dirty dishes to the trash can. Sounds like a reasonable course of action to us.

It's hard to imagine the audacity of this terrible coworker to walk her dishes from home so that her coworkers could wash them. Going through that much effort just to avoid effort is unfathomably illogical. It's really hard to fault this worker for dumping these dishes straight in the bin.

When u/elena247 shared their story to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, it received a warm response from readers who were bewildered by the coworker's actions.

'Expect surprise visits from me': Boss enforces strict no phone policy filled with ridiculous typos

It's hard to be taken seriously as a manager when your messages are overflowing with typos and misspellings. If you expect your employees to follow rules, you can't have those rules read like straight-up gibberish. Moreover, if you expect your employees to be careful with their tasks, you should probably consider, I don't know, spell check. Some of these typos are so egregious a 5-year-old could spot them.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/Such_Recover_777, who provides some more backstory in the comments section after posting the photo of her boss's ridiculous message. Once again, it just goes to show that managers can be incredibly tone-deaf in their messaging and can lack even an iota of self-awareness in their rules and practices. Not letting people listen to music with headphones as they're completing tasks? Not even letting them take out their phones when they're on break? That's not a workplace; that's a prison.
