Insane Manager Tells Mother She Can't Miss Work to Stay With Her Dying Child, Gets Fired

This viral Facebook post was shared originally by a mother who was distressed over her manager's response to her notification that she would be missing work due to a tragic family emergency. The mother's child was in the hospital and on life support but the manager wasn't having any of it. The manager referred to it as more "drama" and told the mother that she was quitting her job if she didn't come in. 

Screenshots of the viral Facebook post were posted to the r/antiwork subreddit, where they were trending yesterday as one of the hottest posts on the popular subreddit. This is just one of many posts on the quickly growing sub that feature horrible bosses. 

Commenters found sources that say the manager was fired shortly after this first went viral.

"'Dawn', the manager, has been fired." replied z_buzz in the top comment. 

"This is worth knowing," commented Serraph105, who shared the following statement from the allegedly involved company below.

"

We'd like to follow up on the issue brought to our attention recently regarding how an employee time off request was handled by one of our managers. We investigated and have found that the situation was handled improperly and without the compassion that we value as a company. For that, we are very sorry.

As a result of this finding, we took quick action and that manager is no longer employed by ---------. We have also reaffirmed to our employee that she will be able to take all the time off that she needs during this difficult period. We'd like to thank the public for their concern."

Idiot "Disabled Spot Parker" Gets Vehicle Obliterated By Fire Truck

This idiot, who insisted on parking in a disabled parking space, got their just desserts when a fire truck needed to access the building. In a carefully orchestrated act of revenge, the paramedic informed the fire crew that their patient's injuries were life-threatening and this gave the fire crew the go-ahead to play some parked car bowling with their truck.

The story was shared to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by u/Tubist61, who reflected on their days as a paramedic. They posted the story with the title "Dealing with en entitled neighbour."

Commenters voiced their appreciation for the story in the comments. 

"There is nothing better than seeing a fire engine push cars around like nothing," said SomethingEnglish in the top comment.

"Seeing the look on the car owner's face when they are presented with the bill for the damage their cars caused the fire engines is a nice bonus, though." replied Wells1632.

Entitled Pregnant Princess Poaches Pricey Pastries, Boyfriend Breaks Up With Her, Kicks Her Out

This pastry chef's entitled pregnant girlfriend is carrying his child and her rampage through his shop with her friends has left him out thousands of dollars of product.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TIFU subreddit by Redditor u/098765439, who shared their story with the title "TIFU by leaving a massive order alone with my now ex and her 14 friends." You can already see right away where this is going and, in a post where you can feel their seething rage in every word, they dug into the thick of things.

It all started when his now-ex discovered that she was pregnant. She began planning parties with her friends in her boyfriend's home, which he also uses to produce pastries to cater for weddings. He estimates these parties have grown to include anywhere from 15-20 people.

"So recently I got 2 massive orders for pastries for 2 weddings and a few other parties, I had spent 1 week working with my team on the orders as it was 75-100 per item." writes u/098765439. "Well, we finished yesterday and I and the team decided to go to the movies and just relax... big mistake. Apparently, my now ex had a party planned... without asking me... in the home, I pay for."

Commenters were outraged at the pregnant ex's behavior and at those who were telling the poster that they were in the wrong for kicking his now-ex out of his home.

"If someone calls you a dick over this tell them to go suck one," commented Lifting_Pinguin. "You are in the right. Screwing you out of 1000$ is bad enough but screwing with your job at the same time is just turd topping on the turd sandwich."
