Workers Reveal Whether They would Snitch on a Coworker for $1,000 a Week

True colors are getting exposed around here

Guy Volunteers Personal Vehicle For Staff Transport Until They Threaten to Axe His Per-Diem, Costs Them More $

When your employee is doing you a favor, essentially out of their own pocket, it's probably best not to try and cheap out on them to penny-pinch your way into a promotion. 

Alas, some people are blind to a little thing called "good faith" that is essential in any employment relationship. "Good faith" eventuates out of mutually fair, open, and honest treatment by both the employee and employer. It might sound, to a lot of us, like a romantic fantasy dreamt up by an unrealistic optimist (honest and fair?), but it's real. When it works, it can be fantastic and mutualistically beneficial. 

Good faith was working well between this equipment operator and his employer for some time. He went out of his way to ensure that things were operating effectively and smoothly -it was off his own back that his other crew members were able to get to and from the site daily. In return, he got a little kickback in the form of his per-diem that he was saving by living out of his transportation vehicle. 

When a penny-pinching middle manager decided that he wanted to save the cost of the employee's per-diem he didn't realize it was going to end up costing the company more in the long run. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by a friend of the equipment operator, Redditor u/balles_de_acier, they shared their friend's story to the popular sub with the title "Another Per-Diem Tale..."

 

Frat Bros Enraged When Girls Organize Group to Keep Each Other Safe, University Steps in to Try and Stop Them

This girl started a group to protect herself and the other girls at her school from the predatory behavior they were facing at parties at their university. Of course, this drew the ire of the predators they were seeking to stop. But, more surprisingly, it also attracted the attention of the school administration who sought to put a stop to it.

Shouldn't a university be trying to do the opposite of what they're doing in this post? The college should be trying to fund these programs, not tear them down. 

The only explanation is that alumni of the predatory groups that they're trying to stop are the ones who are now members of the administration and funding the university. Otherwise, why would they seek to allow the behavior to continue?

Redditor u/solidarityslutts posted this topic to the AITA subreddit to see if she was in the wrong for forming the "hoe union" as the girls have jokingly been referring to it.

What's your take?

Double Take-Causing Images of Things That Look Like Other Things

It's way too amusing to find a thing that looks like a different thing. Honestly, it shouldn't make us that excited when a cat looks like Ron Pearlman or when a dog looks like William H. Macy. Or maybe it's the other way around. But still, things that look like other stuff make our brains pop and crackle with good-time juice to the point that someone should really come in and check on us, because this is bordering on not okay.

It doesn't even need to be a perfect rendition of starry night accidentally splattered onto the side of a bus. Even when there's just a face in a car or a stove, it makes us feel like we're a princess in a Disney movie. It's just so nice when the hinges on your shower door look at you like they'll treat you right.

Here are some more double take inducing images of things that look like other stuff.

25 People's Favorite Screw You's of History

There are so many ways to express your distaste for someone. A lot of the time we simply bottle it up until the emotion explodes all over our loved ones. But there are other ways. Aside from legendary quips, there have been people who started massively successful companies just to tell someone else that the suck. We've all ended altercations with inward-facing impotent rage, so why not do something productive with it, like write an award winning children's film? That's something right? They say living a good life is the best revenge, but maybe put more specifically, "becoming massively successful out of spite" is tied for first.

In any event, we can all use this as inspiration to express ourselves in productive, clever and terrifically vindictive ways to the people who wrong us. For some sweet hot brutal witticisms, here are big brassy comebacks that filled people's pants with wit.

Employer Threatens to Sue Employee For Passwords Ten Years After They Left

There are people in this world, and a dismaying number at that, who are only in it for themselves. They have no concern or regard for other people if it doesn't give them some advantage. 

It's a shame then that so many of these people go on to start companies or otherwise end up in positions of power. Perhaps that same unfeeling ruthlessness ultimately is what enables their success in such a brutal, dog-eat-dog world. 

This is evidenced by the well-known statistic that, while those with psychopathic traits make up 1% of the population, roughly 4-12% of CEOs display these same traits. 

If this is your 10th time reading that, here it's because this is one of my favorite statistics of all time. In fact, it makes up for 64% of my statistical references. 

Anyways, the point is, this employer is one of those people who are entirely in it for themselves. While they didn't give a lick about this employee when they were there, they didn't hesitate to reach out and get something from them when they needed something… Even if it was ten years later.

Ancient Soup Stock Tradition Using Ancient Soup Stock Sparks Conflict, Horrifies Girlfriend

Ahhhh just like Grandma made it 50 years ago... because grandma did make it 50 years ago. She may be gone but she's not forgotten, because she's still with us in the form of her ancient soup stock in the freezer. We even added some of her bones for flavor after she left us. Legend has it that our earliest ancestors used soup stock to traverse the land bridge from Asia. 

This girlfriend has lodged a horrified objection to her boyfriend's family's use of ancient soup stock to "seed" the next generation of soup stock children. She's doing the calculations in her head and her brain is smoking at the thought that this soup stock seed has been frozen and reheated an unfathomable amount of times. 

The truth is it's perfectly safe. She's right that you don't want to reheat food more than once but when done in this way there's a little-to-no risk.

As commenters have stated: Just wait until she finds out about sourdough bread, yogurt, and kombucha too. 

What's your take? Is she wrong in her objection?
