‘I had a very misogynistic boss’: 'Good 'Ol Boy' manager finally gets busted for taking credit of female employee's work thanks to the IT department


The work culture might be changing these days in a more positive direction, at least in work edict. However, it still has a very long way to go and even when you just think back to the early '00s, we were still dealing with some pretty serious injustices in the workplace. For example, how women employees were treated. Harassment aside, they also just weren't taken seriously. It was extremely unfair and usually ended up with many females quitting or just never getting the justice they deserved. 

One woman on Reddit recently shared her story of defeating misogyny in the workplace and it is simply *chef's kiss*! She worked in a company in the early oughts that was mostly employed by men. And not just any old dudes, but extremely misogynistic men who believed women didn't belong in the workplace because they were too "emotional." (Even though testosterone is the hormone that makes anybody emotional and men are packed chalk full of that, but that's for another discussion…) She wasn't the revolutionary type and just kept her head down while she worked. Unfortunately, her misogynistic boss made sure he got credit for all the hard work she did and she didn't get any say in the matter. 

However, one day the president had a question about some numbers that she wrote, but he didn't know she wrote them. So he called in her toxic manager and he made a clown out of himself, unable to answer one question. The president called in IT and they were able to find the source of the work, and it was the female employee. The president called her in and she was able to answer all his questions and then some. 

That toxic manager got his butt chewed up and spit out back to him and then demoted. She had a pretty pleasant work environment for the rest of the time she was there. Excel really was fighting misogyny in the workplace since the early 2000s.

'Imma get fired LOL [worth it]' : Shady management tries to pull a fast one, law student employee hits them with legal knowledge that epically shuts it down


Many people during their college years take a job to cover their expenses while they study for their eventual full-time career. For example, you don't need a 4 year degree to wait tables or deliver pizza, so you pick up this kind of service industry job while you continue your education in something that does require multiple years of education like a doctor or lawyer. 

Yes, that's right, even future lawyers work in service industry while they're in school (except for like rich nepo-babies..). And for any toxic manager out there, we hope you hire a law student and get your tush served back to you when you try to pull some illegal crap on your hardworking employees. This is exactly what happened with Reddit poster u/Old-Invite3028. The Redditor is in law school and working a side gig as they take their classes. The manager tried to pull some a shady fast one and said if employees continued to not clock in or out properly, there would be financial punishment. 

This law student epically messaged back with out any care in the world saying, "I swear I'm not trying to be obtuse but I'm in law school so whatever, the withholding of wages for the reason of disciplinary action is illegal." BOOM. They didn't share their management's response, but the Redditor knew it wasn't going to be pretty and didn't even care. 

'[I] hit send...everyone in the room and on the call started laughing': Husband tries to write apology to his wife the lazy way, humiliates himself in front of coworkers


People used to give their spouses flowers after a big argument, but this husband chose to "write" an apology letter instead. 

As of this writing, ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence models are still pretty new to most people. They're finding more and more usage everyday, from editing photos to writing unique copy. Lots of people have also been using it for random everyday things, like writing summaries or even churning out work reports for them. Its usefulness seems endless! 

This man flew too close to the sun, though. He tried to get ChatGPT to write out the kind of note that you should really and truly write out yourself, not get someone else to write for you. 

While we're on the subject of things you should and shouldn't say to your significant other…These people felt comfortable sharing some relationship secrets with Reddit, but they'd never dare tell their spouse in person
