Teacher Flips The Script on Frustrating Administration


It's not every day that you get to use your boss's rules against them. There's something so wonderfully satisfying about when an unfair employer has to face their own music. Not every organization gets to feel the sting of their own unfairness. This job applicant got to call out a company's dumb interview process.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/Otchayannij 12 hours ago They're your rules... oc M I was an English teacher in Moscow. At the beginning of the school year, I asked for a week of time off around a holiday, so I could travel some. I got denied so the week it came around, I was pleased that most of my classes had been canceled because the students had the same idea I had and were all going on vacation. I get an email from the administration stating that I was to cover classes for anothe

Text - The day of the first class, I leave home a few hours early so that I had plenty of time to make sure I could find the place (it was at a location I'd never been) and that I had all the necessary equipment I needed to read the lessons. It was pretty easy to find, but when I rang the bell, there was no answer. I had some time, so I went off to get a snack. I come back to the school about 30 minutes early and ring the bell again. No answer. I try calling the school's administrator. No answer

Text - For over an hour I rang the doorbell and called multiple times to no avail. My contract stated that I had to wait 30 minutes for students to show up before I could leave. So at the 30 minute mark, I sent a text to all parties that read something along the lines of: I was here on time. I waited a half hour after the scheduled time, but nobody answered the door. I'm going back home. It will take me 20 minutes to get to the metro, if you call me before I board, I will turn around and come ba

Text - "Texting is not an approved form of communication." Now, this was before I had a phone with a data plan, so text was the only way I could message someone. They tried docking my pay for this, but when I told the owner what had happened and showed him my call logs and the text I left, he made sure that didn't happen. Fast forward a few months. I'd been having a lot of issues with the administration so I'd become an expert on the finer details of our contract. One of those details was that t

Text - My favorite part, though, was receiving a text that said I was to teach a class on a given day. They made special mention of the 72 hour rule. I ignored the text. When the time for class came around, I got another call: "Where the hell are you?" "At home." "You have a class." "No I don't." "I sent you a text. I have it saved." "Texting is not an approved form of communication." 1 2

Twitter Thread: Coworker's Lunch Gets Stolen, Office Drama Ensues


Zak Toscani's Twitter thread about a spicy office drama involving a coworker's stolen lunch is quite the little rollercoaster. The moral of the story here is to just not mess with other people's food. Stealing people's lunches is a terribly low move. 

1.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani Co-worker got his lunch stolen and they've agreed to let him watch the security camera tape. This is the most excited l've ever been at any job ever. Ever.

2.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani The lunch in question was shrimp fried rice which means this escalates from a misdemeanor to felony no doubt

3.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani Case facts: Lunch was in fridge for less than an hour before it vanished. No shrimp smell remnants in the microwave or kitchen area. This was a professional hit no doubt

4.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani HOLY SHIT. He's back. He watched the tape. He knows who did it.

5.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani So the man who's lunch was stolen sits across from me. The person who stole his lunch sits RIGHT NEXT TO ME! She left for the day before the investigation started

6.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani According to the video, this psychopath DIDNT EVEN EAT THE FOOD. She took it out of the fridge and threw and buried it in the trash

7.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani Her motives remain completely unknown. In lieu of what he saw on the tape he has decided to not to press the matter anymore. I can't say I blame him. We don't know what this women's fully саpable of

8.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani Points to clarify: he bought the shrimp fried rice around 11:30am (carry out) and put it in the fridge to chill until he takes lunch at noon. So she had exactly a 30min window of time to do what she did. There was no intention of microwaving the food

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani Update: Ok so when dude watched the video with HR they asked “what do you want to do about it?" he told them he was solely interested in who did it and that he didn't want to be responsible for someone getting fired

10.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani After charges were dropped, HR sent a company wide email about not stealing people's lunches. She is scheduled to arrive at work in 20min. My blood is on cocaine

11.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani She has walked into the room. And the room is dead silent. Dead fucking silent yet there is a palpable explosive energy pulsing through everyone but her

12.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani From the moment she walked in, I've just been staring at her. Watched her open her email and now she clicked on the goddamn HR email! Holy fuck strap in - here we go!

13.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani I can't move. I simply cannot move, anything could happen right now

14.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani !!!! After seeing the HR email she says out loud "woah. Someone stole a lunch? Who would do something like that?" !!! I may have to run out of this room

15.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani After she said that, shrimp guy responds "well yea it's not ok to throw someone's food away" we're all about to start screaming

16.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani This shits about to get crazier. After he says that she goes “oh it was your lunch?" BEAT she continues "well why would you go to HR about that?!"

17.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani She has simultaneously denied her involvement AND called the guy who saved her job a snitch!!!!!!

18.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani Dude just sighed and went back to work after she said what she said. She looks frightwningly calm

19.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani P'l keep updating if anything else occurs but all I can say is that EVERYONE in the office from the janitor to the founder knows what she did. She now carries an invisible scarlet letter

20.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani This is real. This is happening. We know who did it but we don't know why. It's a post production company so we're in fact open today. She's been sitting 3ft from me this whole time

21.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani Unbeknownst to the guy and the woman, I just ordered 3 shrimp fried rice plates for lunch and will be hand delivering them

22.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani She took the fried rice from me with a big smile on her face. She's eating it and loving it. This is utter ruthlessness

23.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani "I LOVE shrimp fried rice" - the thief

24.

Text - Zak Toscani Follow @zaktoscani I wish I could close this up with a neat little bow, but, it appears that we may never know why she did it. Maybe she doesn't know she did it. Either way l'm now forced to work 40hrs a week next to a cold blooded individual

Silliest Reasons Kids Told On Classmates


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the dumbest reasons that kids went and told on their classmates. There's just something about staring at your classmates that seems to always manifest in being told on. Those teachers truly need the patience of saints.

I have no rules about pens not being used, I just didn't say the more generic 'writing utensil'. And the student who tattled wasn't on the spectrum and wasn't normally super literal. Reply 1.1k ...

Seems relatively fair right?... Until about 5 to 10 minutes later, when I finally calmed him down enough to discover that this supposed "toy" was an imaginary made up one... REALLY?! Like you just can't imagine up a second one, or a few hundred spares? Turns out imaginary toy politics are quite strict.. Re

One day during silent reading another kid came to tell me she was being rude to him. I explained she wasn't and it was just something she did when she was thinking really hard. His response was, "Well I don't like it," to which I replied, "Well then don't look at her." He was all kinds of upset but stopped complaining. Reply 1.4k ...

The teacher asked me if I was and I denied it and started to cry because I said he was saying mean things about me, so she put the kid in the corner for telling fibs and spreading lies.
