Boss Micromanages Themselves Out of The Job


Bad managers have a habit of losing sight of all the non-necessary and extra tasks they demand of their employees. It just so happens, a lot of times when employees revolt by doing their exact job description, the shortcomings of the boss are revealed. It's kind of beautiful, actually.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/laxfarmerdan 24 32 8 14 hours ago Complain about me logging in to my phone 30 seconds late? I'll work my hours but cost you money. oc M My first job out of Bar school was with an ambulance chasing firm. I worked 12-8pm in the call centre calling people after accidents to get them to sign with us for a personal injury claim. Officially this was not cold calling as the details were passed to us by insurance companies who assured us that each lead had conf

2.

Text - I was very good at my job. Our target was for 10 new claims a day so if you got a car with driver and passenger in the front and three kids in the back you were laughing as that one call was half your quota. Many colleagues would go onto a go slow once they had their 10 but I kept busy - if nothing else it was boring there when not working and time dragged - and would average about 25 new clients a day. After 6 months we get a new manager in the call centre. I've of those micro manager ty

3.

Text - Now I should point out that up until now I logged out at the end of my shift bang on time unless I was on a call in which case I would finish it, and if this was a call with 5 people in you could be stuck for another 45 minutes. We also had to turn the computers off at the end of the day (easy - hit shut down and walk off) and turn them on at the start of our shift. The computers being slow this could take 5 minutes before you could log into the call system.

4.

Text - I responded to the first few emails pointing out that logging into the call system 30 seconds late meant I had actually turned the computer on (which was technically part of my job) about 4 1/2 minutes before my shift started and I stayed late regularly to finish calls. The manager told me that the time to turn on the computer was not part of my job and in had to be ready to make calls bang on 12. I contacted HR and they reluctantly agreed that turning on the computer was one of our dutie

5.

Text - New manager was not easily been though. He started buying the time we got to our desks and then, as is always the case when relying on public transport, if you were a few seconds or minutes late he'd send the email telling you to work the extra time at the end of your shift. I decided that I had had enough of this and so I decided to work to rule. I stopped trying to get new clients after hitting my 10 for the day and would play on the internet unless getting an incoming call from someone

6.

Text - He called us in to a meeting with his head of department and bollocked us all, asking why we were all lazy and not securing clients. Screaming about us hanging up on clients. I just said "you told us you wanted us to work as required by the contract, down to the second" that's all we're doing. Do you not like it? A few weeks later he was gone and a much more sensible manager moved in. Things went back to the way they were. I ended up staying at the firm for 7 years, although only in the c

Man Orders Boxes, Repeatedly Gets Granola


Anyone who has ever muddled through the rollercoaster of trying to deal with customer service that works for a massive company knows that the process can be profoundly frustrating. Sometimes, you just put that order in and end up getting something completely different from what you originally paid for. If you're lucky, you'll manage to get it sorted without having your blood pressure soar right through the roof.

Tumblr Post: Internet's Changing The Evolution Of Curse Words


The internet and its endless series of rabbit holes goes on to inspire all kinds of strange cultural shifts. When it comes to the game of spicy banter and insults, it's just manifesting in all kinds of new colorful, unexpected, rare insults. Basically, things just seem destined to continue escalating when it comes to dishing out insults. This could make for some very strange roasts. Also, Yiddish insults are something else. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about what earth's wildlife would look like through aliens' eyes.

Dad Of Girl Wants To Ask Doc How To Increase Chances Of Having Boy


Man, some people need swift reality checks more than others. This dad came out of left field with his whole bit about wanting a baby boy instead of a baby girl. Even if that were the case for whatever reason, that's definitely something that you keep to yourself and ultimately (hopefully) inwardly reflect on, and proactively work to change that mindset. Naturally, the folks of Reddit's AITA community were relentless with their disapproving remarks about this dad's decision. Maybe it all served as the wakeup call that he sorely needed.

Text - AITA for asking the doctor how to increase chances of having a boy next time? Asshole Found out today at the ultrasound that my wife is pregnant with twin girls. I wasn't mad, but I was let down because we already have two daughters and I said, "C'mon!" It was an accident. I only meant to say it in my head but I guess I was so frustrated it came out my mouth and I said it out loud. But it was fine because everybody laughed. I asked the doctor how I could increase the chances of having a b

She hasn't spoken to me in a few hours. I don't really see what the problem is. I don't want too many replies, please. Just like 10. If you

You value daughters less, because having more daughters is a disappointment enough that would already be planning for "next time." 2. You view your wife as an incubator for "next time." Is she to have any say on whether there is a "next time"? This spontaneous "joke" on your part likely contains a grain of truth, and your wife perceives this. You hur
