New Employee is Not Having Free Donut Day


Getting used to a new work dynamic can be stressful, and this new employee decided that they wouldn't be bullied into participating in free donut day. Instead of just blowing the thing off, they thought to make their point more clear in the form of middle finger donuts. For some more office shenanigans, here's an employee who annoyed their coworker with plants.

1.

Text - O r/MaliciousCompliance - Posted by u/grillbuster5 11 hours ago It is MY day to buy donuts for the entire office as the new person?? Well...OK.... oc M As the "new person" at my job, I was told multiple times that I was expected to provide donuts for the entire office. Normally, that's not a big deal... but two people in particular were rude and relentless about the donuts all week. Others joined in also. Apparently, these people recently extorted two boxes of Krispy Kremes from someone e

2.

Text - Here's the problem, I was hired in as a Sr., 30 years old, and I was not necessarily loving the idea of being told to buy donuts. Hazing really did not seem appropriate at this point of my career. I didn't want to be a "bad sport" my first week, so I played along. In terms of the workforce, I was mature, but I was not very mature as a person overall. I needed a creative way to address this problem. On my way to work, I decided to pickup a cheap bag of small powdered hostess "donettes" don

3.

Text - The reaction from the staff was a lot of the "deer in headlights" looks. People had no idea if I was a "really nice, but clueless" person, or if I was totally saying “F U" to the entire donut idea. Most people took the "safe" choice of being pleasant in return. Some people tried to refuse, but I mentioned the "big deal" about buying donuts, and still left a donut on every desk. I had originally considered providing a donut to everyone except the last two idiotic pushy people. I started ve

4.

Text - My idea to passive aggressively snub them was no longer good enough. This had to be more direct. I decided I was 100% done with these guys, regardless of the consequences. I told them I had another idea. I grabbed a plastic knife from the breakroom, and cut the remaining donut in half the long way, so I still had two circles. The yellow cake was now visible. Then - the most brilliant idea of my life. A new way to hold donuts. One donut on each middle finger, with my middle finger in the c

5.

Text - I stopped at both desks. The first guy had his choice of two half donuts on my middle fingers. That's right, I was able to give him a double donut middle finger. He now understood that I was completely done with his BS, but he never grabbed a donut. I explained the donuts are actually quite tasty, and urged him to take one, but Im sure I looked like a complete psycho. I was no longer able to stay in character. The good news - his refusal to take a donuts from my middle fingers ALSO allowe

6.

Text - The reaction of the last person is best described as completely frightened. That's right, I reached a complete breaking point over donuts, and scared the hell out of someone. Anyway, after this incident, I was never asked to buy donuts again.

Dudes Try Their Best to Get Ball Back


Honestly, most of us would see a ball in a canal like that and just chalk it up as a loss. But not these guys. These guys went through hell and low water to get that thing back. It may not have been the perfect plan, but hell, you can't fault them for all the effort.

Tumblr Thread: Cultures Clash Over The Size Of The UK


People on the internet are finding something new to argue about every day. This time though, we've got a very serious matter at hand; we're talking about cultures clashing over the size of the UK. It's key to note that distance isn't everything. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this post about the banana-fixated cat.

Toxic Boss Drives Employees To Their Breaking Point


Just picturing the look on this dude's face when he turned up, looking to make money off selling those shirts and realizing that he had nothing is enough to fill one's heart with joy. Omaha sure was a long way to go over nothing. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/SadConfiguration • 2y And the deposit was lost... I'm somewhat new to reddit and have been reading these pro revenge stories and feel like I have a good offering. In the early 2000's I was working at a Graphics and T- Shirt printing shop in a major college town in the Midwest. I was a graphic design major and it just made sense for me to be involved in screen printing and design. The owner of the company was a very socially awkward dude that went to the university an

2.

Text - around after graduation to make his money. He had deep roots in the community, was on several alumni boards, etc... as such he had many large contracts with universities in the same athletic conference (one of the largest in the nation) as our college. This meant we spent most of our day rehashing old sports designs to meet new criteria. A lot of it was event based, meaning if a certain team won a certain game and there needed to be a shirt made to commemorate it, I was on call to do that

3.

Text - Now (we'll call him) Ron wasn't a cheery guy. In fact I don't think l'd ever seen him smile. But as of late he had been getting more bold with his three designers (myself, Tim, and Carla, who was the art director). He would venture up into the art room and hover while we worked. He evidently didn't like what he saw because he made me take my inspiration board down because it was "clutter". The hovering and critiquing didn't sit well with us, but whatever, it's his business. Then, he hires

4.

Text - designs and the amount of time it took us to do them. Needless to say, we weren't happy. So, one day Tim and I come back from lunch and Ron is upstairs in the design room lighting Carla up. He's yelling that she was costing him money because designs were sent back for revisions or took too long or just plain weren't good. As we were all very competent designers and worked under ridiculous deadlines all the time, it kinda confused us. Regardless, Tim and I both liked Carla as a boss and di

5.

Text - pushed past us on the way down the stairs and went home. She had been getting recruited by another screen printing place in town anyway, so she took that opportunity to jump ship. Good for her we thought. Fast forward about a month. Tim and I were even more unhappy than before because now, not only were Ron and his dad constantly breathing down our necks, but we had a three person workload with two people. He became even more pushy and rude and started to come unhinged. I almost hit him o

6.

Text - The CWS (College World Series) is in Omaha every year. The CWS was Ron's second biggest cash cow next to the NCAA Men's basketball tournament in March. Every year he rented an 18 wheeler with a 4- color process press in the back of it to take to Omaha. The deposit was $10k and like another $10k for the full rental. We'd watch the games and start getting the designs ready as soon as it was apparent a team was going to win. We printed the shirts right there on the spot and had them hot off

7.

Text - riding in the truck, his assistant and several other office staff were pooling in a van, and Tim and I were driving separate in my truck. It was to be a convoy. The truck took off, the van fell in behind it, and we fell in behind the van. They turned off on the highway toward Omaha and Tim and I went to the bar. They didn't notice until they got to Omaha. I saved the voicemails just in case I disappear some day. He shuttered four months later and rebranded as a design only firm. Gotcha Bi
