Employee Told to Reconsider Their Job if They Want to Take Their Honeymoon, Does

When this employee's marriage was fast approaching, they requested three weeks of leave from their often-absent boss. When the request came back through, the employee, saw that the request had been denied. After a week of attempted contact, they finally managed to get a hold of their boss to know why the request had been denied. They were told, "Look, we need dedicated people, if you think you can take three weeks off for a vacation, you need to reconsider your position here."

This thread was posted to Reddit's Malicious Compliance subreddit by user u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch, where it earned 31.4k upvotes and hit the trending r/all page. 

In this story, u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch describes how they complied with their boss's demand to "reconsider" their position at the company. u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch didn't like their boss all that much anyway and didn't like that they constantly had to do their absent boss's work. So, that made the decision all the easier.

Viral Tweet Shows Brilliant Employee Response to Management's Attempt to Ban Pay Discussion

A savage letter was posted in a gym in Kentucky by the management team and has gone viral on multiple sources. There have been viral posts on Reddit and Imgur and a Twitter tweet has earned over 145k likes. 

The note was posted to the break room at the gym after the management team grew frustrated about rumors of employees discussing their wages. They then posted this letter that reads as follows.

"Attention all subordinates," starts the letter. 

"Effective immediately, conversing about wages (both on duty and off duty) is strictly forbidden.

This is considered proprietary information and as such, it is protected legally. If you are overhead speaking (OR LISTENING TO!!) a conversation in which wages are discussed, you will receive disciplinary action up to and including termination.

As a reminder, Kentucky is an at-will state, meaning your employment can be terminated for any reason without legal percussion (sic). Or NO REASON."

Where do you even start with this? The first thing that stands out is the fact that the author claims to have the legal "protection" to make this claim, when forbidding the discussion of employee's wages is, itself, illegal in the United States. And I'm not certain what "legal percussion" is but the legal repercussions of firing an employee for discussing wages are very much a thing. 

The employees responded in the best way possible… By posting a signed response in the break room that included their names accompanied by their current pay. 

The internet has been loving this brilliant story of worker's revenge. 

Karen Doesn't Like Neighbor's New Fence, Launches 5 Year Campaign Against It

Like the old Far Side cartoon says, "And now Randy, by use of song, the male sparrow will stake out his territory... an instinct common in the lower animals."

Territory disputes are a thing as old as time. You'd think the advent of property laws would at least soften the animosity people have when it comes to "my dang ol' property," but in practice, it has served to make things stickier and subject to litigation. These folks found themselves living next to a lady who had an extremely rigid idea of what a steeply discounted new fence 6 inches into the neighbor's property would entail, and spent half a decade griping and threatening the neighbors over it rather than solving anything. If we all had glasses that would let us see things from another person's perspective, the world might be a nicer place. But we don't, so it isn't.

For some tremendous neighbor drama, here are the worst neighbors people have experienced.

The Dumbest Things People Have Heard Another Human Being Say

While reality is a shared experience, it's extremely easy to forget that the people you share that reality with might have some freakishly incorrect assumptions about it. You could be working with the same reasonable seeming coworker for 6 months, and then one day he hits you with "man, the sun is getting dimmer, I hope they change it soon. And you're like "excuse me?" And he's like "The sun, they have to change it every year around January. That's why it gets so cold in the winter." And now you're stuck wondering how this person clothes and feeds themselves, let alone hold down a job.

This kind of premium, uncut dumbness is all around us, and it's never going away soon. All we can really do is file it away in the back of our minds and wait for the right opportunity to tell other people about it. Maybe it's fun. Maybe it's just coping.

Here are some more of the dumbest things people heard out of another person's mouth.

Controlling Brother-In-Law Can't Keep Mouth Shut, Gets Publicly Slammed

Too often, we find ourselves in situations that we know are screwed up, but we're forced to go along with social convention for fear that making a scene, however justified, is going to be worse than just grinning and bearing through someone's utter self-delusion. In this case, we've got OP who is in no way going to be lectured by a brother-in-law on what she can wear, especially when the dude literally just had his own relationship collapse for being overly controlling. So the dynamite was there, it just had to be lit.

This situation set OP up for an absolutely incredible burn, one so well-timed and accurate that it managed to divide the family. The internet weighed in on whether this act was justified, and the response was an overwhelming "hell yeah, freakin sick, bro."

For another justified, convention-shattering comeback, here's the brother who stood up for the cheated on Ex and slammed his brother during his own wedding.
