Teenage Girl Gets Fired by Heartless Sonic Manager After She Called Out to Grieve Four of Her Friends She Lost the Night Before


He coldly said, "I run a business." Really, Sonic? Do better. 

Client Refuses to Pay Ad Designer, Changes All Ads to Say Client is a Scammer


When this client refused to pay an ad designer for their work, the designer decided to cut their losses and settle for a bit of revenge instead. They had been granted access to the client's Facebook page to set up the advertisements, and those privileges had not yet been removed. 

After being stiffed by said client, this topic was posted to r/pettyrevenge by u/BigPower6749. The post is currently sitting at 10k upvotes. They explained how they exacted their revenge in the post, "Her ads are still running, so I decided to change it. I changed the pictures to a text post [that] says 'Don't buy from this. The owner refused to give me my salary.'"

We see online topics about artists and creative workers not being paid for their work or being targeted by "choosing beggars." These stories always end up with the artist not being paid and losing out and seldom do they get any repentance from their terrible clients. So it's always great to see an artist getting the upper hand.

Guy Accused of Wage Theft When He Clocks in For Meetings


This employee was accused of committing wage theft when they clocked in for "hour-long" meetings. As commenters have noted, there is wage theft happening here, but the boss is confused about who is the one doing the thieving. 

This thread was trending after it was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit this week and has earned 10k upvotes. The poster, Reddit user u/DannoWhamo, was the one who posted the topic regarding this experience that they had at work. They noted that they were "Tired of spending my days off glued to my phone and laptop," and so decided to start logging the hours. 

It might sound insane to some of us that this wasn't something that was automatically happening. Any good manager knows that prepping, planning, and communication are essential parts of running an organization and are, therefore, part of the job by default. If you want to get buy-in from your team, you should pay employees for any time they spend performing their role. That's just good business sense, and before you even consider the ethics and legalities involved.
