'The hotel staff saw everything': Guest enters hotel spa and takes another person's slippers, hotel staff show person security footage

When spending time at a hotel, you allow yourself to comfortably leave things around, as you know that the hotel is being monitored by security cameras and staff at all times. Otherwise, you simply wouldn't pay to stay the night. In this case, OP was staying at a very expensive hotel, and when I say expensive, I mean that a standard room typically costs over $500 a night. So what happened to OP's slippers was kind of bizarre. OP was visiting the hotel spa, taking off his slippers and leaving them on the side.

Suddenly he noticed someone else walking out in his slippers, which he said, were designer. It made no sense, as everyone in the hotel definitely had money to spare. He approached hotel staff, asking if they'd seen anyone walk around in his slippers, to which they replied yes, then whipped out security footage. This behavior begs the question… why do rich people feel the need to take things that aren't theirs when they can definitely afford to buy their own stuff? Boredom, perhaps? We'll never know.

30 Majorly messy meals that really needed plates

Restaurants love to be hip and trendy, but at what cost? 

There are two types of people: those who photograph their every meal, and those who just eat the food. Food bloggers and amateur photographers alike love to snap pictures of what they're dining on, and post photos to their socials for the whole world to admire. However, it's not exactly original to post just a plain old hamburger. No, your followers want to see you eat the weirdest stuff, it must be eye catching. That's the only reason I can fathom why these restaurants decided it's okay to skip out on plates, and instead have their customers eat off shovels and rocks. 

I really enjoy creative plating, but it should at least match the viscosity of the food you're chowing down on. For example, ice cream gets melty, and anyone over the age of 5 can tell you it should go in a bowl. Common sense seems to go out the window for some restaurants — they're really serving up ice cream on flat slabs. One place even put numerous scoops of ice cream in a "flight" on a flat surface. I can't begin to imagine how the waitstaff and bussers must feel about tables who leave half eaten ice cream. It must drip everywhere! If you do work at a trendy Instagram-able place, keep the faith — these trends won't last forever.

'Good luck finding any other work': 10+ nightmare bosses and the employees who stood up to them

Whether we like to remember them or not, we have all been in toxic work environments. Perhaps you were at the start of your professional life and you were concerned that all workplace environments and dynamics were like this. Perhaps you were working under a new boss who spent far more energy enforcing ridiculous rules and disparaging the work of their employees than fostering a strong working atmosphere. Perhaps you didn't say anything to your boss before you left the company and you desperately wish that you stood up to them. Or perhaps you did stand up to them, and it was an experience you'll never forget for either good or bad reasons. Regardless, there is some level of experience you have with a toxic boss. 

 

Thankfully, you're not alone, and you are joining the company of these brave employees, who shared their stories of working under their nightmare bosses via this r/AskReddit thread. Some of these stories include a boss who screamed at their employee for not working after they showed up early, a boss who had their kid stalk employees to check if they were always working or not, and even a boss who forced his retired parents to work under him. 

 

Keep scrolling below for these anecdotes, and hopefully, they will inspire you to stand up for yourself in the workplace if you haven't already. Heck, you might be working under a horrible boss as we speak.

'The mom is starting to realize she may have overreacted': Family insists on immediate help for bee sting, dorm employee embarrasses them

We can't all be calm under pressure. It's especially difficult to be calm when you're also hurting, as u/ihatevegtables shared in a story to r/MaliciousCompliance. 

They recall the time they were working a college move out day. If you aren't familiar with the concept, that's when you're a student living in a dorm, and you have to move out at an assigned time at the end of the semester. You have to pack everything up — clothes, mini fridge, text books — and toss it in a big bin on wheels. If your dorm has an elevator, you will then stand and wait for the elevator for a very, very long time, as you and every other student on your dormitory floor try to get downstairs one at a time. Then, you have to haul your belongings to your car (or probably your parent's car, if we're being real), pack up, and leave. But now there's a line of cars, so you'll have to wait for that, too. 

So yeah, move in and move out days are always a tad stressful. At least there are employees who are usually very kind and friendly who can help guide the process along. This employee tried their best to help a woman who'd gotten stung by a bee. But clearly this woman was overreacting. The OP made sure she wasn't allergic, she literally just had a regular old bee sting. Those do hurt…but I don't know if all the hullabaloo was necessary just for that. 

After you scroll through this story, read about this boss who accidentally fired his employee, only for the employee to request 20x their salary to return to the workplace. 

'Team morale took an absolute nosedive': Company loses two largest clients after firing employee

If there is one thing worse than an annoying boss, it's an annoying coworker. This coworker in particular got promoted, presumably because they were related in some way or another to upper management. That wouldn't be so terrible if they had any work morale whatsoever. Ten years ago, OP was working in a company that did salary packaging. The service that the company offered was basically collecting mortgage statements, rental agreements, credit card bills etc., and then advising their clients' payroll department how much money could be given tax-free to each employee in their pay.

The company was pretty successful, and OP was a client favorite. One day, the company made a big mistake, hiring a woman we'll call 'Rachel', who, according to OP, was awful at her job. OP had no clue how she had managed to snag a role but was further surprised when she actually got promoted. From then on, things just kept on going downhill. Finally, the operations manager called a meeting with OP and the other employees, who didn't exactly shy away from telling their boss all about Rachel and her lack of work ethic.

Even though they were promised that the meeting was a 'safe space', it clearly wasn't, as things that were bad, became unbearable. OP was written up for any and everything, and they quickly realized what was going on. Scroll down to read what happened next. Furthermore, this resident got even with their neighbor who kept leaving their garbage in his trash can.

'Karen got blasted by multiple Senior Managers': Nepo-hire Karen boss refuses to let worker take bereavement leave, they go over her head

It's no surprise that someone who isn't qualified for their management position might not be very good at doing it—what's surprising is the vigor that these people display when doing petty and cruel things to their subordinates, wielding and abusing every last shred of stupid power they have with enthusiasm. 

At least in functional organizations, there are checks and balances to the abuse of power in the form of HR departments and upper managers who at least have an interest in reducing the organization's liabilities.

This delegate shared their experience of handling a nepo-hire boss, who refused to let another worker, Max, take their bereavement leave, repeatedly insisting that the worker provide evidence of their grandmother's untimely demise. When the delegate pointed out to the boss that the organization hadn't been following or recording Max's leave property, which according to their contract, meant that they couldn't be stopped from taking bereavement, the boss still refused to relent. It was time to go over her head—luckily, an upcoming meeting with the company's executives would set things right.

Read on for the delegate's tale of malicious compliance, originally shared with the popular Reddit sub of the same name.
