Guy Who Was Fired Reports Company For Breaches, Company Shook in this Viral Thread

This unappreciated worker was managing the company's entire marketing and graphic design department on their own without a hint of guidance. Despite that, they were let go in favor of a foreign marketing agency. 

This thread went viral today when posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit. The poster, u/TheNBAonTNT, describes the situation as it unfolded.

I had been handling the marketing and graphic design at a company for over a year with basically no budget, no help, and no structure." Reported u/TheNBAonTNT, "Even through all that I stayed; I got results, I maintained said results, I gave them everything."

After their termination, they decided that their best approach was to file grievances for the employer's breaches of employment rights. "I'm now taking them to court in my country's labor board/court," said u/TheNBAonTNT. "I'm not negotiating; I'll make damn sure that the court knows how it is that they avoid taxes by not covering the employee's lawful benefits and how they run the day-by-day operations."

If you insist on being a terrible employer, it's probably wisest not to do this to your employees, who are most likely to be privy to your illegal activities. It's that adage about not breaking two laws simultaneously because you exponentially increase your chance of getting caught. Fortunately, criminals and terrible employers alike are usually too stupid to rationalize this. 

u/TheNBAonTNT has promised to post updates as the story unfolds, and we will endeavor to keep this post updated.

Spelling Failures That Shouldn't Even Have Been Written Down

Spelling is hard, and it takes years to learn how to do. When you consider the phrase "spelling at a 5th grade level" you're still talking about a level of skill that requires literal years of experience reading and writing. Keep in mind, it's still not good to be an adult who reads at a 5th grade level, but it's just something to think about. Maybe at like a 10th grade level.

The other issue we run into is that most of our correspondences in life are spoken, not written. So we find ourselves captured by these strange pitfalls of what certain words and phrases "sound like" rather than what they are. And that's how you find yourself reading a sign that says "sorry for the incontinence." It's unlikely that the elevator isn't working because someone can't stop pooping, but we don't exactly want to risk it by checking.

Here are some spelling fails that beat the meaning out of words.

Cheating Ex-Husband Tries To Get Out Of Child Support, Suggests Ex-Wife Get A Lawyer, She Does

A willingness and ability to stick to agreements is probably the most telling thing about one's character. Being able to say you're going to do something and then following through with it is what a functional society is built on. And when people break those agreements, they may find themselves in the brutal world of the court system inhabited by money-hungry lawyers chomping at the bit to make you honor those agreements, no matter what.

Even morals aside, it's not a good idea to ignore a court mandated payment. In this case, this dude's flip flopping and heel-ish turn made it all too easy for him to be forced to pay what he agreed to pay. It's looking like this ex-husband tried to pull the long con and not pay for mounting child support, going so far as to tell his ex-wife to lawyer up. This is not a smart thing to do when you actually potentially have a lot to lose in court. This ex-wife wisely took this "advice" and the rest followed.

For another intriguing one, here's the cheating ex husband who ghosted and got found when he racked up a bill in his ex wife's name.

Busted Signs That Gave Themselves Hilarious New Meaning

Sure, it's great when signs are intentionally funny, but when you experience the confluence of a broken sign that has evolved into something funny? That's what makes life worth living. 

If only more places let their neon signs strategically break, we could be living in a veritable wonderland of Ass Pro Shops and Pubic Houses. We could just walk down the street looking at foot tall, glowing swears and the world would only be better for it.

But alas, businesses aren't super keen on offering 1 hr P o os so for the most art we have to live in a dull world of non-filth. It's a serious bummer that this doesn't happen everywhere all the time, so we need to learn to treasure the moments when they arrive.

But for more signs, here are somefunny pizza place signs, and for what that pizza inevitably becomes, some wonderful musings of sewer tank trucks.

Worker Gets Aggressive Call From Employer Asking to Verify Emergency Callout Contact Details, Hasn't Worked There For 8 Years

There's nothing better than receiving an unwarranted phone call from an employer, better still when you haven't worked for that employer for eight years. 

Redditor u/AcrolloPeed had this exact experience and shared the story this week to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady subreddit. Perhaps this one is a little less obvious than subreddit names usually are but, essentially, the premise of the subreddit is that people post stories about cases of mistaken identity when people think that someone works somewhere when they don't. 

It's still pretty easy to decipher when comparing to something like r/worldpolitics. I'll give you a guess; what do you think you'd find in that subreddit if you typed it into Reddit? Don't actually do this because it's incredibly NSFW. For in r/worldpolitics, you can find a little bit of everything except the subject matter of World Politics. When you click through to the subreddit, you're immediately greeted with a large set of anime assets in the subreddit's banner, complete with the "Os" in World and Politics being replaced with a suiting piece of those assets' anatomy. There's a complex history behind this bizarre subreddit; maybe we'll cover that in a later article. 

Digressing back to the point, this sub's name is a little less obvious than the ones we usually cover but still more apparent than some.

u/AcrolloPeed handled this situation with ease and grace, tactfully deflecting the caller's inquiry for their information. Commenters were quick to support how they reacted.

People Who Later Ran Into The Person Who Rejected Them

It's generally accepted that when someone rejects you, cruelly or not, that the best thing to do is forget about them. Build your own life and live it honey, you don't need to brood over lost love and unreciprocated feelings. Your reality doesn't need to focus on the person who didn't want you in their life in the first place.

That said, the problem with physical reality is that the people who rejected you still exist, and they're out there. So it's not impossible to tell someone you like them, get told you look like a sock puppet but with less attractive eyes, and then run into them a year later when you're both at the store buying egg nog and jumper cables.

And what happens after that is really up to you and them. Will you try to avoid eye contact and pretend that they don't exist? Will you "accidentally" drop your wallet and reveal your pilot's license? Those options are available. Life is long and weird.

Here are some weird things people did on dates.
