Boss Misses Email and Tries to Blame Their Late Report on 'Remote Workers', Gets Called Out


This horrible boss tried to blame their team for their poor reporting. They tried to claim that results were poor because their team had been working remotely, and there was a strong implication that the employees were slacking while working from home. The thing is that none of this was true. The boss had just refused to check their emails and wasn't aware of the timeframes that they were supposed to be keeping. Despite repeated attempts from the team members to get the boss on track, they waited until the absolute last moment. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by one of the team members, Redditor u/moderatelyprosperous, whose boss attempted to scapegoat. They decided that they were not going to put up with their entitled behavior and ensure that the truth was known by upper management. 

Read on for images of the original thread and the reactions below.

Bread Memes to Fall In Loaf With


Bread. Ducks love it. But can we blame them? Because we love it to. Maybe we don't love it enough to eat wet bread out of a scummy pond, but we haven't tested it. For much of us, our loyalty to bread stops at the floor.

Many of us consider our relationship with carbs to be an affair of sorts. They're late nights of sordid bread-having, paying no attention to the number of slices that might disappear between our greasy lips. And the next morning, waking up in an empty bed, absolutely covered in crumb.

We love bread. It's lighter and fluffier than potatoes, and it's by far the best form of carb to garlicify. Honestly it's a shame that it's even related to oatmeal in any way. Poor oatmeal. It just can't get anything right. When you need to lean that heavily on brown sugar, you know you've failed as a food.

Anyway here are memes about bread, the Beatles of carbohydrates.

Wholesome Maintenance Guy Gets Tired Of TV Company Exploiting Old Folks, Runs His Own Cable


TV and internet service providers might be some of the most universally disliked companies on the planet. Almost no one can say that they've had an excellent time dealing with customer service for a company like this, and extremely simple problems are notoriously difficult to resolve, frequently at the expense of the customer themselves. There's a whole lot of "so you're telling me I have to pay you money because of a mistake you've made." And it's not like you'll ever get to talk to Mr. Satellite. You can only deal with a poor customer service person who's job is to get yelled at on behalf of the garbage company they have the misfortune of working for.

Anyway, this person said "no" to all that and on behalf of 200 elderly residents just did the thing themselves. Not bad.

For some more nice stuff, here are wholesome moments to tap into the feels.

23 People Share Things That Smell Good But Shouldn't


Smell is a very strange thing. Most of the time it makes sense, but it's easy to get duped. It's not hard to find yourself pining after the smell of something that has no nutritional or sentimental value. There's no evolutionary benefit to being attracted to the smell of gasoline, but here we are, spending a little bit too much time filling up so that we can get in a few delicious whiffs of expensive go-go juice.

Sometimes it's connected to a certain memory. We'll find ourselves wanting to smell a few pens just because they take us back to the good old days. But other times, for no reason, a terrifically hazardous chemical will smell like maple syrup, and we just have to sit there wondering if we're insane. 

No, it's the chemical's fault for smelling like breakfast. Anyway, it's a bad idea to huff paint, even for nostalgia purposes.
