Update: 'So you lied to me:' HR denies raise promised to employee employee gets back at HR by canceling furniture order for her office

This HR lady's blatant lie says just about everything one could say regarding the health of this work environment. Here, we have a two-part story for you about an employee who learned that the raise he and his coworkers were promised was never going to happen in the first place. On top of that, the woman from HR seemed completely unapologetic about the lie as well.   The update to this thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/ImThe1Wh0, who clearly was having trouble stomaching this news. After some time thinking things over, the Redditor figured out the perfect plan to get a little petty revenge and malicious compliance at the same time. Since he was told that the company was trying to cut costs in any way possible (this was perhaps the main reason why his promised raise was outright denied to him), he reconsidered an upcoming purchase for the office that had yet to be fully processed.   That purchase was a request by the very same HR lady to refurnish her office. Now, it was in fact within the employee's jurisdiction to make judgment calls on purchases, so he decided to reject the request and deem it an unnecessary purchase. The reality is he's completely in the right here. It's not like HR was incapable of doing her job without this order. Perhaps these kinds of requests should be prioritized over, say, raises that were previously promised to certain employees.    Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the update.

'I'm not a Karen I swear': Woman walks out of hair appointment after stylist roasts her 'weedwhacker' haircut

This woman is wondering if she's the reason her latest haircut went so poorly.  Recently on Twitter, people were discussing "haircut trauma," with some people mocking the idea, and more serious folks knowing exactly what that meant. Hair is a very important indicator of oneself, after all, it's one of the first things people notice about you, and one of the ways you are judged upon first impressions. So if you've ever had a hair stylist botch your hair really badly, you know that it can be a rough experience until those strands grow back. Even if your hair looks great afterward, the wrong stylist can make you want to avoid getting your hair cut ever again if they make you feel bad during the process. It seems like that was the case with this person, u/Diligenttemporary, who found a hairstylist to cut her hair. But the OP failed to mention that she has a condition that makes her hair look a bit stragly, and instead kept silent about her condition during the cut. But that led to some unfortunate miscommunication, and the OP ended up walking out.  It seems like a lot of people are anxious or too shy to tell their stylist what they actually want. Of all the times to be shy and reserved, this is not it! Even a small miscommunication can have big implications for your hair. The difference between a bob and a trim can be easily mistaken, or your hair could easily be dyed bleach blonde when all you wanted was a light brown shade. Hopefully this person learns from the commenters, who gave her tips for how to communicate about her condition for the next time she gets a trim.  Up next, these 20 people had some hilariously silly questions that they just needed to ask.
