Woman Gets Sweet Revenge On Petty Unprofessional Coworkers Who Refused To Give Her An Office For No Good Reason

It's unfortunate that so many people are underappreciated when doing their jobs. You can honestly give it your all and nobody will notice. Worse than that, sometimes they notice and actively undermine you and secretly plan your downfall. Some people are bitter and love chaos. Reddit is full of stories from people that go through things like that every day, and the subreddit 'MaliciousCompliance' is probably one of the most popular platforms to share such stories on. One user by the name of intrepidshe took to Reddit to share her own tale. 

 

The story dates back to when she was finishing her own bachelor's degree - she was just getting started in a specific emerging field of technology and was hired for a brand new department that hadn't yet begun to take off. The other departments were for some reason, opposed to the service that she would provide - so much so, that the leaders of the other departments conspired against her, and did everything in their power not to give her an office. It worked, and she didn't have any normal place to work. She could have loudly exposed them, but decided against it - instead she realized that she could get exactly what she wanted and make them look dumb in the process - without ever saying a word. So she did her job wherever she could find a place to do so, such as the mail room. Her plan was that people would notice and eventually confront her about it… She wasn't wrong. One day, the President came through the mail room, stopped for a second, and asked her why she wasn't working in her own office - she was clearly annoyed. Our dear smart Redditor explained sweetly that she didn't have an office, and boy did that set the President off… She asked her a few questions, and after some very unsatisfactory answers, she stomped off to deal with the problem - and boy, did she deal with the problem. It was an absolute success.

 

Check out the Reddit post to see exactly what went down… Ah, sweet revenge! Must have felt pretty damn good to get back at the people who belittled and doubted you. And if you're in the mood to look at some coworker memes while you're at it, feel free to click here.

'[He] told me he's planning on moving out soon': Mom oversteps, calls adult son's boss when he isn't home at expected time, causes rift

If there's one thing you don't want to happen at 21 years old… It's having your mother call your boss asking why you aren't home on time. Even if you're still living at home in your 20s, certain things need to be reassessed compared to how they were in your teen years.

This mother took matters into her own hands when her son failed to return home at the usual time after his shift had ended. She managed to procure the son's boss's number from her son's friend and proceeded to call the boss, enquiring about her son's wellbeing.

I can't imagine my mother keeping that close of tabs on my schedule at that age. Sure, it's only natural and respectful to ensure living with someone (even your parents) in their home as easy as possible; things like helping around the house, letting them know if you'll be home for shared meals, etc., are just common courtesies and make cohabitation much more pleasant. But, at no point would I expect my mother to know my exact whereabouts or even my work schedule. In certain workplaces, you would NEVER be able to live down your mother calling the boss. That would haunt you for your entire career in some trades. 

So, yeah, this overbearing mother was totally out of line with her concerns and actions. What's your take?

'She wants me to take down everything': Sister insists Disney Adult sibling clears their house of memorabilia for her wedding

There's nothing wrong with feeling an attachment to something that brings you happiness in life. We all do it. We tend to latch on to certain stories or characters with who we identified or sports teams that remind us that we're a part of something bigger. Especially as we sink into the monotony of adult life, these things can give us greater meaning. 

A 'Disney Adult' is someone who has latched on to a love of all things Disney in the biggest way, and it's not unusual to see one of these posts where a Disney Adult is letting their fanaticism interfere with their life and personal relationships, taking their love for Mickey's magical wonderland (and everything associated with it) to insane lengths. 

Interestingly enough, this is not one of those posts. Our Disney Adult has been doing nothing but giving out of pocket and going out of her way in order to make something truly magical happen for her sister, only to have it thrown back in her face in the form of entitled behavior and unreasonable demands. There is absolutely no reason why some toilets couldn't be rented for the wedding if the memorabilia (in the house which is not a part of the event) is an issue. 

Still, this Disney Adult is wondering if they are in the wrong for their refusal to remove the memorabilia for the wedding, sharing their story to Reddit's AITA subreddit to get readers' opinions. Read on for screenshots of their account. For more, check out this wedding guest who wore a wedding dress to their friend's wedding and wondered if they were wrong. 

'My meeting takes precedence': Remote-working couple juggle sharing computer monitor between their two jobs

A remote-working couple is stressing each other out, writing, "This is very petty, but we need some help."

Working remotely is heaven on Earth for most employees! In-office work has it's perks, like getting to talk to your coworkers in person, and making you focus on your work, since you're in that type of environment. But if you've ever done remote work, you know the amazing feeling of working while chilling on your couch in sweatpants, comfy and unbothered. 

Then again, if you live with a spouse or kids, it's a whole different story. Remote work isn't perfect when you have to share your "office space" with your husband or wife. This couple knows that all too well, because they're squabbling over a computer monitor, which they both need for their online meetings. The OP shared this story, which you can read below, and commenters unanimously claimed they were NTA.

‘Boss demands fauxductivity’: Employee reprimanded for being efficient, boss requires more work for same pay

It's pretty remarkable how often one has to shout into the echo chamber of the Internet that if the work gets done properly, nothing else should matter. Yet this employee found himself shamed by his employer for daring to get his work done efficiently. It seems that his coworkers complete the same daily tasks over the course of the full 8-hour work day, while this guy manages to complete all his tasks correctly in half that time. 

 

One would think that if this employee were tasked with more responsibility as a result of his efficiency, he would receive a promotion or, at the very least, a raise. But unfortunately, all is not fair in the workplace. Instead, the Redditor was expected to do triple the amount of work with no pay increase and, on top of that, their progress would be tracked throughout the work day.

'Did I stutter': Biker dude wants a coffee with no coffee, gets his wish

If you're going to be this confidently incorrect about something and then be rude when the person who knows what they're talking about tries to correct your mistake—you deserve whatever is coming to you. In this case, what's coming to you is a horrifically inconsumable sugary drink of the likes your tastebuds have never encountered before.

When working in customer service, you end up dealing with these people quite often. Over time, instead of bending over backward to correct their mistakes (getting more grief in the process), you tend to give in and let them have things their way. This, predictably, ends up with the entitled person spluttering and confused, having received exactly what they asked for—just not what they expected.
