'I saw red': Cheapskate boss forces shift supervisors to pay for company pizza parties and refuses to tip, shift supervisors pays them in pettily dispensed pennies

Company pizza parties are, at best, a bandage solution for poor employee morale resulting from poor company culture and worker compensation; shelling out $60 for a few pizzas doesn't suddenly erase months of missed breaks, understaffing, unpaid overtime, and other practices that reek of borderline exploitation.

Yet — this is the go-to solution for so many workplaces that insist that their exploited, exhausted workers are "family" — if that's really how you treat your family… are they still speaking to you?

This boss has somehow managed to take the pathetic attempt of morale boosting up (down?) a notch — by making the managers pay out of pocket each time these pitiful events are held. To make matters even worse, the boss refuses to tip the delivery drivers appropriately, leaving the managers to front that too.

'You burned a bridge': Man would rather catch up on sleep than babysit his nephew, meanwhile the boy's aunt undergoes treatment in the ICU after a potentially fatal car accident

Some people would do pretty much anything for their family. As Dominic Toretto always said, 'The most important thing in life will always be family". Well, for one Redditor, the most important thing in his life, is sleep. And apparently nothing in this world could threatened to deprive him of his 8 hours– not even the near d3ath experience of a family member. 

His brother-in-law, a father of two children, called the sleepy man over Easter weekend desperately asking for a favor. The BIL's sister had been in a potentially fatal car accident and they would need to drive across the state and check in on her, and say their goodbyes, at the hospital over the weekend. Fearing traumatizing their children, they called up Sleepy and asked him if he and his wife could watch them over the weekend. They had never had any issues with babysitting the kids before, but out of the blue, Sleepy refused to help them out in their time of need. 

He claimed that he needed to get his sleep cycle on track for working night shifts and watching a couple kids, his niece and nephew, over the weekend simply wasn't going to help him get the rest he needed. Excuse me? 

Fuming, the BIL  reminded him that he had said one that 'he would do anything for those kids', but apparently taking care of them for 48hrs when it was literally a life or d3ath situation, was not in that wheelhouse. Although Sleepy works in a steel mill, and his biggest excuse for saying no was because he was going to be working nights, we think that he could have risked a couple of days of sleep discomfort in his SIL and BIL's time of need. What do you think?

Update! '[I] unplugged the Wi-Fi': Husband can't get workaholic wife to take a break, sabotages internet connection, faces backlash online

This guy may have lost his chances at winning Husband of the Year. After repeatedly trying to get his pregnant wife - who is described in this Reddit thread as a workaholic - to take a break for her mental and emotional health, he decided he couldn't wait any longer. So he fully unplugged the Wi-Fi and hid the cord.

 

You can imagine that his wife's response was not one of gratitude. Thankfully, according to an update below, it seems like they were able to work things out moving forward. Still, even though his intentions were pure, it ultimately didn't matter. There is no way that unplugging the Wi-Fi without any warning would alleviate his wife's stress. In fact, if anything, he rapidly escalated the situation. Sure, she clearly needs to take better care of herself and needs to work toward finding a better work/life balance, but that's something couples should build together. Forcing that balance through conflict is not going to be productive.

'I put glitter in my friend's laundry': 20+ People share their funniest petty revenge stories

The creativity these people showed while having their own petty revenge moment is so inspiring. When u/trexradar87 asked, "Reddit, what's your best/funniest personal example of petty revenge?," people delivered tons of hilarious stories of pettiness in the workplace, school yard, and more. 

These people who wrote their stories in reply to the post are extremely clever with their solutions. The college kid who pranked their friend by putting glitter in his laundry is a perfect example of a harmless prank with a funny outcome. Other people shared the various ways they wanted to mess with their coworkers, and they clearly put a lot of thought into doing what they thought would torment them the most — like changing the speed of their double-click to mess with them. 

Next up, this entitled influencer decided to inform this restaurant that because she was a mommy blogger, she'd be dining for free that day. 

'I don't wanna be your mommy': Man kicks out gaslighting roommate after he tries to guilt him into cleaning up his dirty dishes

Dirty dishes are the leading cause for roommate breakups. It's not proven or anything, but as anybody who has ever lived with another person knows, the passive aggressive nature of a maintaining a clean home can sometimes lead to horrific strife between you and your housemates. One Redditor recently felt the full force of roomie drama when he received an out-of-the-blue text from his roommate (who is also his older cousin). 

After generously offering his home to his cousin, u/ThisNameWillSaveMe realized the error of his ways when the kitchen started falling into disrepair. Although he thought that he and his cousin could cohabit peacefully, he noticed right away that their definition of "clean" was completely different. OP would find his cousin playing hours and hours of Fortnite while getting higher than a kite in the middle of the day as dishes in the sink piled up. 

To fight the mountain of dishes (and to avoid being implicated in cleaning any mess that wasn't his), OP started using 1 knife, 1 fork, 1 bowl, and one plate, ensuring that he could contain his mess and keep tabs on his own business. The bad roommate never noticed that OP was using scarce supplies in the kitchen and after months of depravity in the sink, he finally had the audacity to blame the OP for his mess. 

He sent a scathing text to him, pointing a finger at the mountain of dirty dishes in the sink and claiming that he wasn't going to 'be his mommy' and clean up after him. Wait what? After living for months on skimped supplies, OP finally snapped and told his older cousin (and charity case) that he was in fact the one creating the mess and do the adult thing and take care of it instead of placing blame on anyone else. 

After a voracious battle via text, OP kicked out the dirty-disher, forcing him to move out and find a place of his own. Now OP can finally have a clean sink, a free couch, and peace of mind. 

'Have fun with unemployment': Karen coworker fires herself by refusing to do her job

When you have a job, it's usually best to do that job if you want to keep it… Not get embroiled in a war of petty acts against a coworker who wanted no part in that war in the first place. If you choose the latter pathway, you need to be prepared for any consequences that follow.

Redditor u/Peach_Gfuel shared this story to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit about their coworker who insisted on getting revenge on them for a perceived slight. u/Peach_Gfuel had previously worked for the Quality Assurance team that Karen transferred to, a team that was responsible for ensuring that the rest of the company was delivering to the company's standards.

Karen saw her chance to end the one-sided feud once and for all… and using her newfound QA powers she sought to get her nemesis fired, not realizing that this would be her downfall.

'Thieves!!!': Doordasher witnesses a customer getting banned from the app after they try to pull a poorly executed scam

As a Doordash delivery driver, you're privy to a very special kind of customer abuse. As the middle man of a much larger money-grabbing scheme, you often get blamed for pretty much everything from all angles. Food is cold? Your fault. Unresponsive to texts while driving? Blamed. Delivered to the address provided but it's somehow the wrong address? Definitely your responsibility 

*HUGE EYE ROLL* 

…Not only that, but because of the exorbitant fees and ridiculous extravagance of getting food delivered to your house from any restaurant, Doordash users are also notoriously terrible tippers. There's no winning here. 

One delivery driver recently witnessed justice take place when a customer tried to blame him for a lost order. As a seasoned delivery man, u/k-kat93 had delivered to this particular customer before– it was particularly memorable because of the cop car parked in the driveway and the soccer mom sticker on the SUV. After a pretty routine drop off, where he took the food straight to the door, took a photo and bounced, Kat received a notification 15 minutes later that the food was never delivered and he was about to get in trouble for it. No way!

Kat didn't want to put his reputation on the line for a lie, so he informed the customer that he'd left the food like he always did at the address provided. They got snippy in their responses to him, so he contacted customer service to handle the problem, hoping to avoid a bad review that might tarnish his star ratings. 

After explaining the situation to customer service, Kat waited with dread, expecting a bad review or even a write up from the company… but there was nothing. Eventually he went to go check his DM's with the customer and saw that the entire conversation was unreachable, as if their account no longer existed. 

In their attempt to scam Doordash for some free food by blaming the driver, they got themselves banned from the app completely. Justice is a dish delivered cold.

'You are ruining a [baby's] life': Entitled person demands acquaintance change their dog's name so they can use the name for their unborn child

People tend to think they have sole rights to any name they choose. Guarding it with the same vigor that Mickey Mouse's lawyers use to protect his trademarked silhouette (don't even think of attaching three circles to each other for your logo.) It's almost as if people don't realize that their "Emily" is one of the millions, owning to the name being one of the most popular for the last 30 years.

The same goes for any name. Unless you're naming your child something you really shouldn't (ie X Æ A-12), there are likely hundreds of people with the exact same name out there in the world already… and that's just people, not counting the endless amounts of pets out there, all daring to exist with your child's name.

So, being so petty as to demand that your friend's friend change the name of their dog—just so you can claim that name for your child—is laughable at best. Sure, you might be upset if your sister named her kid the same name as your kid. But if the issue is an already named dog connected through a relationship this tenuous and distant, then you haven't got a leg (or four) to stand on.

Anyways, read on for this ridiculous exchange below. For more, check out this entitled person who wanted to buy a friend's service dog and wouldn't take no for an answer. 

'Bride went full Gollum': Bride sees stranger knitting in hotel lobby, thinks it's a wedding gift, loses it when she's told otherwise

When you get engaged, there's apparently a high possibility that you come to believe the world has stopped and started revolving entirely around you. This is not true for everyone, but it's certainly true for some folks, especially this bride. She saw a random stranger knitting in the hotel lobby on the weekend of her wedding and straight-up assumed she was knitting a white veil for her big day tomorrow. When the Redditor laughed and politely responded that she wasn't a guest of the wedding and that this veil was simply for herself, the bride completely lost it. 

 

Our hearts not only go out to the Redditor who had to endure this bizarre interaction, but also we're thinking of the mother of the bride, who saw the whole freakout unfold and had to pick up the pieces and apologize on her daughter's behalf. Yikes! For more stories like this, here's one about an employee who proved his Karen manager wrong.

'It’s not a favor. It’s a job': Entitled mom insists friend should babysit her three kids, enlists mommy group to guilt her friend

This artist has a friend who may become an ex-friend following a heated childcare squabble. 

There are some "fun" careers that people tend to dismiss as not being "real work." Even if your job seems fun to the people watching from the outside, that doesn't mean it lacks concentration, skill, and time management. This artist is dealing with that right now! Her friend seems to be under the impression that as an artist, the OP can just goof off and play with art supplies while watching the friend's three kids. 

So basically, this so-called friend is asking the artist to take time out of her work day — there's no way to watch three kids while also creating a painting for a client. Kids are just too demanding, even when they're on their best behavior. The mom in this situation doesn't have much respect for the OP's job or free time, and she also doesn't seem to understand how much work childcare really is. Otherwise, she wouldn't be asking the favors she's demanding from the OP!

Top 25 Coworker Memes of the Week (April 26, 2023)

Although we'd like to think we're progressing as a society, being treated unfairly as an employee is very commonplace. Things like short-staffed teams of employees, being overworked, and receiving pay that would have been acceptable in 2012 are all so-called, 'normal'. The customers are rude, your boss doesn't know what they're doing, and your coworkers are either the best or worst thing that has ever happened to you. That begs the question, why care about work if work doesn't care about you? Is it any wonder why you get such terrible service at minimum-wage stores? Dealing with the Karens and Kens of the world seem punishment enough, but when you add underpaid to the mix…

The memes below are compiled in a way meant to distribute serotonin to employees who relate. Scroll down and check out the best coworker memes (whether that means your boss, your direct manager, your friend Sally from accounting, or the secretary to who you smile hello every morning) of the week. For last week's collection, you can take a look at them here.

'I'm a big fan of Gatorade': Entitled dude buys every bottle of red Gatorade from a shop and refuses to relinquish a single ounce

Taking everything and leaving nothing—that's generally a good sign that you're in the wrong. Operating at extreme ends of social behavior and acting in ways that speak to these extremes is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way—regardless of your belief or justification. As has been said a hundred times: We're all the heroes of our own stories. Everyone has a justification for their actions in their mind for why they've done or said something, even if everyone else is telling them that they're wrong.

This big fan of Gatorade was busy clearing the shelves at their local store of the just-restocked red flavor. They claim to have compulsion issues that center on a need for this specific beverage, still, when they were approached by a mother and her two children, asking if the Gatorade Fan could spare a few bottles. When they declined, the mother got upset and began to go off on the Gatorade Fan. The Gatorade Fan then took to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole community to see whether they were in the wrong for buying up the entire stock of the beverage. 

Commenters have been pretty decisive with their ruling, declaring the Gatorade fan to be an AH here for buying up the entire stock and refusing to share a single bottle. What's your take?

20 Memes for people who are way too literal

If you need a silly meme for your extra-literal friend, look no further.

Every friend group sends around memes in the group chat these days. It's a fast, fun, and easy way to tell your friends what's on your mind, plus it makes you look clever if you get it right. If you send a dumb meme, then your friends might roast you a bit. 

These memes below are so extra literal! From the "bae come over" template to "like dis if u cry every time," some memes are timeless. Today, we flip them on their heads to infuse a little anti-meme energy into your day.

'How do I say "I can't be sad and poor for another month" in a professional way?': Woman uses ChatGPT to respond to her boss about quitting

Who invented the two-weeks notice for quitting? It's understandable if you are leaving a healthy work environment and you want to help your soon-to-be former employee find a replacement so you don't leave them high and dry because you both have mutual respect for each other. But most of the time the work environment that you are quitting is toxic and you'd love nothing more than to leave them high and dry because you know they would leave you high and dry and probably already have many times before without a pinch of consequences. However, we all still at least attempt to provide that two-week notice before peaceing out of a most hated workplace. But what do you do when they ask you to wait longer before leaving? How do you tell them that this job makes you miserable and you're quitting because you were already at your last straw, so really you would have rather quit last month, but now they're asking you to stay an extra month?? Make the math math please.

That is what happened to one girl, but modern day problems call for modern day solutions. So instead of wasting another bit of her energy on this job she already gave her two-weeks notice for and is asking her to stay an extra month, she turned to AI. She posted to her TikTok that she wanted to figure out a professional way to say to her boss, "I cannot be sad and poor for another month." So she asked ChatGPT, an AI tool that can write content for you if given a prompt. ChatGPT couldn't even think of another way to say it, but it did put a more professional finesse.

'I'm losing my sanity': Worker expresses frustration about their "office prankster" coworker, sparking online discussion

Being embroiled in an ongoing prank war sounds like a lot of fun—until you find yourself in one. It turns out there's not much that's desirable about constantly being on edge, wondering when the next strike will happen, especially when that strike is likely to come at the most inconvenient time. This is doubly true when you didn't consent to partake in the prank war, to begin with, and it always seems to come from that one clueless coworker who thinks they're hilarious despite being merely obnoxious. It might be fun to watch on TV as Jim wraps Dwight's desk in some mildly inconvenient material for the 5th time, but when it happens in real life, it's just annoying and is likely to result in a trip to HR.

This worker shared their experience with a relentless prankster at work, describing how the experience was causing them to "lose sanity" and driving them over the edge of what they were reasonably able to handle. Their account of events sparked an online discussion on the subject and the worker returned the following day with an update.

'I got fired from a job I don't work': Guy gets fired from a job that isn't his

There are toothless threats, and then there's using your station to intimidate someone who you have no power over in the first place. It's as if a stranger told you they get to have your shoes because it's their birthday. Just because they seem to think they're in a position of authority doesn't mean you actually have to respect that authority. It's kind of beautifully freeing, actually. And it's even more amazing the more convinced they are that you owe them something. What a world we live in.

 

What happens when someone who isn't your boss fires you from a job you don't have? Well, this. Even when confusion comes to play, sometimes the right people get hired and fired, like this secret shopper Karen who got fired for being too much of a Karen or this wholesome time the janitor dressed up, got confused with the manager and got his job.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady subreddit by u/nlangevin, who shared his story of being scolded and fired after making repeated attempts to communicate the fact that he didn't actually work at the store. Keep scrolling below for the full story!

Top 20+ Shower Thoughts By Verdict Masterminds

The best ideas usually pop up when you're busy chopping up vegetables on your cutting board that isn't aging well, when you can't focus in a meeting and you're starting blankly at your boss, imagining what they look like crying, and when you're standing in the shower, singing 'And I would walk five hundred miles…'. In other words, good ideas come randomly, with no specific pattern you can discern.

We like to call these ideas, 'shower thoughts', because as priorly stated, they do tend to show up when you're in the shower. For some reason, the chemicals and atoms in your brain communicate best at weird, disorganized times. Much like Isaac Newton, who allegedly came up with the law of universal gravitation when an apple plopped onto his head.

Below you'll find some earth-shattering shower thoughts that blew our minds. Okay fine, we're totally exaggerating. But they're pretty funny. Scroll down and check them out for yourself.

'Hopefully his GF sees this red flag': New boyfriend introduced to GFs friend group, insists they all "pay their share" at restaurant

A new boyfriend is making things really awkward for his girlfriend's group of friends. You're supposed to be on your best behavior when you meet new people, especially when it's someone close to your significant other! You want to make a good impression, unless you're this guy, "Aaron."

This person wrote to r/AmItheA**hole on a throwaway account. As the OP, u/throwrasplits, tells it, they and their friend group go way back, and meet up all the time for meals and drinks. The OP has been paying their own way at these meals for quite some time, and claims that their meal is very cheap due to the way they eat. No one seemed to have a problem with the OP paying for their own food, then evenly splitting the rest of the bill, which the OP is fine with as well. But things got awkward when one of the friend group brought along "Aaron." On his first introduction to the group, he made a pretty distinct — and negative — impression on the OP.

'He actively discouraged overwork': People share tips from competent bosses who actually made sure their employees prioritized life over work

You can work and work and work until your fingers bleed and you haven't seen the sun, but you can never by back time with all that money you just earned—IF you even earned that much more money… Usually overtime isn't much, and even if it is, taxes take most of it away later. So are you really working for any sort of extra compensations actually? Or are you giving your employer precious time from your life that they can never repay you? Maybe next time you choose overtime over date night with your loved one AGAIN or you miss your kid's soccer game because the boss needed you to "go above and beyond," just don't.

A Redditor recently posted on the subreddit r/antiwork a PSA stating that "20 years from now the only people who will remember you worked late are your kids" and it caused a slew of commenters adding their two cents. Though the workforce is saturated with toxic management, you can still find some healthy work environments hidden in there—and with that comes bosses who understand the importance of work-life balance. You are a human, not a work robot, you should always prioritize life over work, period. See what others had to say about it and what they picked up for healthy management and past competent bosses below. 

'He responded by adding more workload': Worker quits when boss gives them more work after they complain about their workload

Having too much work to do and unrealistic expectations from your superiors about that work is a surefire way to make you hate your job—and your entire existence. This will usually happen in some sort of toxic workplace environment where middle managers have been selected and promoted on their willingness to enforce any policy they're told to rather than on any actual skills in operations, administration, or management. 

These middle managers are more than willing to pass any pressure placed on them directly downwards so that it all builds up on the lowest level productive workers, saddling them with any blame for missed targets and poor performance. 

When this worker attempted to talk to their boss about their already-too-high workload, their boss responded by telling them that they were about to have two more projects placed in their hands. Their boss had underestimated just how close to breaking point the worker was, and the worker resigned on the spot in response.

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.
