Entitled Coworker Learns Lesson On Christmas Day


Jane was playing with fire. She thought she'd just go on and on, not helping out her teammates, and instead proactively making their work situations genuinely unpleasant environments. Just picturing the mystified look of pure confused, terror on Jane's face when this employee dipped out on Christmas Day is enough to put a smile on your face. Sounds like the manager wasn't doing anything to help the situation either, so it's not terrible he had to show up to address the meltdown on Christmas Day. 

Check out some more juicy revenge drama with this property manager who was terrible, and ended up getting canned.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/MorganLeFatal • 2y + Join Merry Christmas! I quit. Quite a few years ago, I moved into a house with a few of my best friends. One of my friends got me a job with her at the local gas station within walking distance of our house and I thought I was pretty set with my new arrangement - living with my best friends, able to walk to work and a job that should have been one of the easiest positions I've ever held... That is, until I met my coworker - Jane. I worked nights. We did

2.

Text - gas pumps, sweep up the parking lot, and stock the beverages which entailed going into the walk in fridge and stocking it from inside the cooler (which could take 2 hours or more at times). There was always 2 people scheduled on night shift, most of my coworkers and I would split the work and one person would don their coat and gloves and go stock the cooler for a few hours and the other person would keep coffee made and sweep up the store and stop and ring up the occasional customer and

3.

Text - Not Jane. Jane would usually hang out in the back in the manager's office for hours or stand behind the registers "doing inventory of the cigarettes" and make the other employees unfortunate enough to be scheduled with her do all of the tasks that needed to be completed in and out of the store and have to stop and run to the register to ring people up even when she was standing right there "counting the cigarettes" and couldn't be bothered to even acknowledge the customers.

4.

Text - When people called off, it was standard to call the other employees and see if someone could come in and take the shift. Most people would give a legit reason why they couldn't when they declined - i.e. No sitter, family plans, etc. Not Jane. Jane would just answer with a flat no when she was called and would then hang up. My best friend came to me a few months into working at the place and told me that our manager told her that Jane said that I don't do anything during my shifts with her

5.

Text - Jane fancied herself the second in command in our store under the manager. Now, mind you, we didn't have an assistant manager with that gas station chain. There was only a manager and there were supposed to be a few shift leads who really didn't have any power, just a few additional tasks to complete during the shifts where they were scheduled as a lead - inventory, ordering stock, etc. Jane was not ACTUALLY a shift lead but she was able to do most of the tasks of the shift lead and acted

6.

Text - The best part of this "improvement" was that she would harp on my coworkers about it while NEVER stepping foot in the cooler herself to do anything that I saw in the entire time that I worked with her. Another of her "improvements" was that everyone had to attend a weekly mandatory team meeting because she read somewhere in one of her training books that it's supposedly policy - even though none of us, including the manager, had heard of this before she brought it up. These team meetings

7.

Text - I came to work my shift at the gas station after receiving a call earlier in the day saying that I had passed my background check and employment verification and was offered the job that I had been seeking. I asked my shift lead how to put in my 2 Week's Notice and she smiled and asked who I would be working with on my last day? Jane. She asked if I already officially had the job and I confirmed that I did and that all of my background checks were complete. She then asked me if it really

8.

Text - My last day was Christmas. I was scheduled as a split shift. From 7-10pm, I was scheduled with my best friend. My best friend was scheduled to get off at 10pm and Jane was to come in and work her normal night shift from 10pm-6am. I came in at 7 and worked as I normally would and had a fun time clowning with my best friend when we had a rare moment of downtown - being Christmas Day, there wasn't really anything else around that was open so we were swamped as a result. My best friend left a

9.

Text - My best friend filled me in on what happened when I left. She went through the phone list calling everyone to see if they could come in to work my shift. Every single person just gave a simple No and hung up on her. She was left to run the store on her own for quite some time before the manager showed up to assist her. The next team meeting that she had after I left, she could not find her clipboard and had a melt down fit in front of all of the other employees as they all stood there loo

10.

Text - Now, before you start feeling sorry for my manager having to lose time with his people on Christmas Day to clean up the mess from my revenge- Keep in mind that he has access to video recordings of every inch of the store and outside grounds and could easily verify how much work I was doing during my shifts before he felt the need to insult my work ethic to my best friend based solely on the lie of one person. I'm actually GLAD that he was caught up in my wonderful revenge, truth be told,

Fastest Ways People's Co-Workers Got Fired


It's nothing short of a miracle that these people were able to weasel their way into getting jobs in the first place. You've got the dude with the next level situational awareness, who decided it'd be a good move to light up a smoke next to a bunch of hay. Or you've got the other prime job candidate who was hired, and then proceeded to just never show up. It's as if some people get hired just to see how long it'll take them to get fired. Try hard enough, and it really won't take too much time to get canned at all. 

Check out another entertaining AskReddit thread that's about the ways workers got their bosses fired.

Text - squeeeeenis • 2h He didn't show up the first day, second day, or third day. I had to work a double shift for three days straight. Not fun. I answered the phone when he finally 'called in' on the fourth day. He said, "I'm going to be honest with you, I've been in Orlando. My parents paid for a small vacation as a reward for getting the job. Would it be okay to start next week instead of this week?" Reply 938 ...

Text - DifficultMinute • 1h Before their first day on orientation. I got hired for a manufacturing job through Manpower (a temp agency). Me and a friend of my wife were both supposed to start on Monday at the plant for a week- long orientation. She got into a fender bender on her way to orientation, and called them to say that she'd be a bit late, that she just needed to wait on the police to give a statement. The manager told her not to bother ever coming in. Girl was torn up. She took pictures

Text - JoeBear1978• 1h A shop I used to work at hired through a temporary agency,after a few months they either hired you full time or let you go. They brought this one kid in,he worked good and they were going to hire him full time. The supervisor brought some paperwork for him to get hired on, he filled it out but forgot to sign something. The supervisor brought the paper back to him to sign but couldn't find him at first. She found him smoking during shift by by the emergency exit door. Had t

Text - Hickspy • 2h This was just a summer job at a fast food place. We had a new girl start and within two days it was apparent she was an idiot and everyone knew that. You could already see the manager questioning his decision. Then on her third day of work she said she couldn't come in because her mom was in a car accident and in the hospital. Turns out that's an easy thing to disprove in a relatively small town. Reply 147 ...

Text - sum_muthafuckn_where • 1h First week, he's called over to the unstaffed truffle counter by a customer. Hasn't been trained in truffles, so he just grabs one from the display case and sells it to the customer. He doesn't know the display "truffles" are made of plastic and the customer has already payed $90 for it when he realises. Still not sure if it was an honest mistake or if he was planning to pocket the money. Either way, fired. Reply ...

Text - uitSCHOT • 1h I worked at a high security workspace for a while. Under no circumstance could you take photographs anywhere inside the building and you were strongly discouraged to post on social media were you worked. (Something to do with the competition finding things out) So this guy took a picture of his employee pass on his first day and posted it on his Facebook talking about how happy he was with his new job. Work found out (I think his FB wasn't even set on private) He was gone qu

We'd log the cores, take photos, do some down-hole tests, etc. New engineer gets sent to site and gets assigned the night shift (some people love night shift, but most people don't... hence sticking the junior with night shift.) After 5 nights he calls the office and says he wants to come home because he's freezing and he hates it an

Woman's Fence Dispute is Amazingly Petty


What better symbol for a neighborly dispute than an ugly fence? It started with a misunderstanding about fence height, and boy these people must not have been able to talk it out, because the "resolution" they ended up going with is stellar example of extreme pettiness. And you can tell, she's serious.

Man Explains McDonald's Ice Cream Machine Protocol


This man fearlessly addressed the ongoing drama surrounding the performance of the ice cream machines from McDonald's. Maybe they should just serve hot ice cream during those times when the machines are doing their cleaning things.

Americans And Brits Duke It Out On Tumblr


We always love a little good old cultures clash on Tumblr. So, comparing Hershey's chocolate to any chocolate sold back in England is a grave, mortal sin. Duly noted. Also, that whole bit about how the Brits call it "maths" while Americans call it math was a trip. If you enjoyed these funny Tumblr moments, check out this Twitter thread where cultures clash over canned chicken.

Karen Racks Up $16K Phone Bill, Rejects Help From Call Center


All we're missing in this story about a Karen racking up a disgusting $16K cell phone bill while on vacation in some remote island, is a picture of what Karen's face looked like when she learned she was only being given $25 in credit toward the bill. Mind you, this is $25 in credit compared to the thousands ($14K) she was previously offered by a tremendously helpful call center employee. But no, Karen got unbelievably greedy (if not fraudulent), and rejected the kindness being shown to her. Suffice to say, she certainly paid the price.

Choosing Beggar Takes Lowballing To New Extreme


Some people are blinded by their own entitlement to such an extent that it's generally impossible to reason with them. This conversation was clearly destined to go nowhere from the start. The choosing beggar came out waving all the red flags. Also, the whole delivery demand situation was truly mind boggling. 

1.

Text - Text Message Today 12:22 PM Hey is your sofa set still available? Hi, yes it's available. How is the condition? How firm are the seats?

2.

Text - It's in an excellent condition and the seats are more on the soft side but very comfortable Okay. How negotiable is the price and can you deliver? I am willing to negotiate but will only accept a reasonable offer. Also, it's only for pick up, I mentioned it in the ad. How much were you asking? $450

3.

Text - Will you take $180??? I can do $190 if you deliver. Are you serious? I said l'll accept a reasonable offer and you're offering $180? And only $10 for delivery when renting a Uhaul truck will be at least $60-70? The lowest l'll go is $400

4.

Text - I can do $200 but only if you deliver. I have a bad back and cannot lift anything heavy. Let's say I agree to deliver it, who will unload it and take it inside if you have a bad back? You can bring someone to help you to bring it inside my apartment. You've got to be kidding me $400 and you pick up plus bring someone to help you.
