Boss Texts Employee After Hours to Accuse Her of Faking a Covid Test, Employee Epically Calls Her Out and Quits Effectively Immediately

The work environment is changing. With millennials and Gen-Z taking it over, nobody is letting the f*ckery go anymore. Employees have taken enough crap and won't stand for it anymore. 

 

TikToker Libbylu aka @libbiiiii quit her job earlier this year. Her boss was toxic and the entire workplace was soul sucking. It didn't even matter if she was good at her job, she was younger and lower in the ranks, so she didn't deserve anybody's respect—especially the respect of her boss. She had already found a new job and couldn't wait for the transition! She was getting ready to give her courtesy two weeks notice, because she was at least a kind employee. However, her boss really yanked that privileged out from her own hands. 

 

Libby got a text well after closing time from her boss. It was, of course, bursting with toxicity. Her boss texted her because she had come in late that day after a Covid scare. She decided to get a text before coming in just to be safe. The boss accused her of lying about it and demanded proof. Even though she was annoyed she still sent over a screen shot of her testing results to her boss. Even with that proof, her boss still did no believe her. She said that she called the testing place and they said they did not provide Covid testing services and she demanded a physical copy of her test results for her to believe her. 

 

Libby had f****ing had, I mean, who wouldn't at this point?? She let her have a piece of her mind. She called out her boss for being toxic and unprofessional. She sent in a lengthy text everything that her boss has been doing that was simply toxic and inappropriate as a manger. At this point, Libby decided she was no longer going to provide any sort of handy two weeks notice for her toxic boss. She quit "effective immediately" right after sending that epic text. The boss apparently responding denying all her employee's accusations, but Libby had already had it and ended the conversation. She had said her peace and was wiping her hands clean of that toxic job.

"No Snack" Rule Technicality Snafu Drives Worker to Quit Pedantic Boss

A worker was ridiculed by their boss for eating half a sandwich at their desk, which supposedly violated the boss's silly "Snacks only, no meals" rule regarding food in the office. This was the snack that broke the camel's back, and the incident drove the worker to quit.

We should get this tattooed at this point but as the old saying goes… "People don't quit jobs, they quit horrible bosses."

The thread was shared to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit yesterday where it went massive and received just shy of 20k upvotes in the first twelve hours it was posted. The thread was posted with the title "I just quit my job of 3 years over a sandwich." 

Commenters voiced their rancorous disdain for the manager's policy and cheered the poster for their decisive reaction to the manager's behavior. Some encouraged further antagonizing of the boss while others passed comments on various aspects of the story. 

"Keep eating sandwiches at your desk during your notice period," DizzyDizzyWiggleBop slyly remarked.

"The only reason managers want you back in the office instead of WFH is to justify their own jobs. If WFH means you are happier, more productive and saving time and money on the commute then clearly the only reason to return to the office is so managers have more control and can shout at you more," dbe14 commented, referring to the growing friction between employers and employees due to requirements that workers to return to office buildings.

"Doesn't want people to eat at their desks and wants them to eat in a break room. Overloads them with work, so they can't take a break. Genius. Good luck with your new job!" Voiced elamb127.

"Treats full grown adults like children for no reason. That's the number one reason to leave. Cool, we have a difference in definitions, I get that. But I am also a grown up and competent human being. Treating me like a child is unacceptable and says a lot about the manager and how they view their staff." added Sptsjunkie in response to elamb127's comment.

Viral Thread: Boss Fires Confused Employee Via Email, Twenty Minutes After Closing With Them

An employee closed with their manager, who said nothing out of the ordinary to them but sent an email 20 minutes later telling them that they were being let go from their position. Further, the email tries to claim implied confidentiality and bans the employee from attending any of the owner's establishments as a customer. The cowardly method used to dismiss the employee has the internet up in arms. 

Screenshots of the email were posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/Leading_Highlight244, the employee who received the post. They posted the thread with the title "This is how my manager fired me, 20 minutes after I left my shift with him."

The original poster (OP) elaborated on their situation in the comments.

"For context, I've worked there for a whole month. I was never sent the Safe Serv course (and, I also had already submitted a different responsible serving certificate and they denied it)," they wrote.

"And my "results" are completely unknown to me because their metrics are ridiculous. They're a dive bar who serves paninis, and if you don't sell a certain number per day then I guess you're fired? Sorry nobody wants to spend $8 on a Turkey sandwich with two slices of processed Turkey on it lmao."

Reader's reactions in the comments generally passed commentary on the various ridiculous parts of the message, with others offering their sympathies or sharing stories of their own.

"Boy that "confidential do not distribute" text worked well," remarked 747ER in the top-voted comment, commenting on the fact that the "confidential" email was now the subject of a viral thread.

"'Confidential do not distribute' (and) 'please refrain from coming to any location in the future' sound like challenges," commented herbalit.

"They banned your ass from all establishments too?? Damn," sympathized LuckyxCapone.

 There are lots of stories floating around these days about people getting fired. Sometimes they take matters into their own hands, like this employee who took all of their things home and left a company nonfunctional. 

 

Bridal Shower Bikini Brings Bristling Tensions to Family Affair

This volatile r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) thread has been a topic of hot discussion and disagreement, with readers ultimately deciding that the original poster (OP), u/Complex-Cup7367, was in the wrong for his reaction to the described events.

The OP describes in his post that he and his longtime girlfriend have recently been engaged and, as part of the wedding proceedings, had arranged a bridal shower. As a good gesture, OP's Father's much-disliked girlfriend "Tiffany" was invited. As a possible slight or trashy oversight, "Tiffany" wore a bikini to the affair, pictured in the thumbnail and images below. The thing is, the bridal shower was a garden party, and all of the other guests were wearing sundresses or similar. So is there really anything wrong with what "Tiffany" wore? The image OP provided proves that the bikini is less bikini and more summer wear than anything else. 

Many voters in the Reddit thread wouldn't have seen the photo before voting. But with this information in hand. What's your vote? Who is in the wrong here? Is "Tiffany" the a-hole for wearing this? Is the fiancé an a-hole for defending her? Or has the bride lost her mind?

Upon seeing the photo, this is what one reader had to say…

"You're kidding," remarked General-Yak-3741, responding to another reader declaring that the OP was in the wrong. "That makes his fiancée the giant ah in my opinion. OP states that the women all wore sun dresses to this "garden party" I don't see the issue here."

Without a doubt, some people have trouble behaving and conforming to proper event attire. Such as Heather here who insisted on wearing a psuedo-wedding dress to her half-sister's engagement party.

Karen Leaves Nasty Note For Server, Gets Embarrassed in Front of Her Entire Family and Kicked Out

This "Karen" found herself banned from a restaurant after she left derogatory written comments about her server. When she came back in with her family on a later date, she was informed by the staff that she was not welcome. This created a scene and caused significant embarrassment for Karen. 

The server, Redditor u/naptide, posted her story to Reddit's r/AITA subreddit to see whether she was wrong for embarrassing Karen in front of her family.

Commenters resoundingly and almost unanimously agreed that the server was completely justified in her actions. Karen's behavior had led her to be deservedly banned from the restaurant, and the embarrassment she suffered as a result of that was her own doing.

"NTA...She was rightfully on the "Do not serve" list. Whatever the rest of the party did was their own decision," replied RoyallyOakie.

"NTA. It's great that management has your back against terrible customers. You shouldn't have to wait on patrons who've treated you badly," commented Secret-Sample1683.

"NTA. I feel bad for the kid, but it's also a good lesson for kids to learn that adults need to be accountable for their behavior. 100% NTA," said GrandpaJoeSloth.

Technically Accurate Moments That Are Definitely Sort Of Right

Sure, we could do things correctly all the time, but where's the drama in that? We're busy people, and doing things in a way that is only technically right is a far superior option when it comes to looking clever and making people upset.  Doing something incorrectly or being wrong is obviously shameful, but being technically right or technically accurate is all about making the right call with style.

In this collection of beautiful technically accurate moments from Reddit, we have a mother who told an adopted child they were an easy physical birth for her, a doctor whose diagnosis didn't quite hit the patient right, someone who might need to re-learn how astrology works, and someone who reached out to a news station telling them they have a scoop. Just not the right kind of scoop.  

That's the beauty of technically accurate moments that aren't incorrect. They take lunch to the next level. Carry on!

Teacher Quits on the Spot When Their Boss Tells Them "You Can Quit at Any Time"

This teacher was working a part-time job at a bank to try and make ends meet after her husband lost his job. Her boss's poor treatment of her set up this brilliant story of malicious compliance. 

This story of malicious compliance was posted to the r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by Redditor u/Public_Pressure_4516, who shared the story of their compliance. 

Commenters voiced their distaste for these types of situations, wherepoor managers are leading their staff to leave in droves in these types of jobs, yet HR and corporate do nothing to address the manager's behavior. 

"I wish corporate and HR would look into why so many employees are leaving," commented Proud_Positive_2998. "But we had the same thing where I worked and both hid their heads in the sand."

"Sadly, it's become a fact of life that there will always be 'attrition rates'," replied Andravisia. "They just budget for it, rather than making actual changes that'll make the life of their employees better. Then there's the fact that it's easier to pay one or two dedicated trainers a higher salary for years than it would be to pay dozens of people progressively higher salaries and benefits."
 

Female Machinist Learns She's Making Less Than the New Hire She's Training, Internet Seething

This female machinist took to the popular r/antiwork Reddit sub in order to share her recent experience at her workplace. She had been training a new-hire machinist and discovered that the person she was training had been hired for more than she was getting paid. When she pressed the issue with her supervisor, she was just stonewalled. This led to her seeking a new role. 

Commenters explained that the current job market will be causing multiple instances of this to happen as older employees miss out on the more competitive rates new hires are earning. Others shared their own experiences. 

"As someone who's also worked in a handful of machining shops, good on you," commented Satirical0ne. "Many places these days will try to screw you if you let them and then try to dangle the job in front of your face. I'm glad to hear that you were able to find somewhere to pay more. Places like your soon-to-be ex-employer don't deserve skilled machinists because obviously they don't appreciate them."

"Good buddy of mine is a machinist with 30 years experience… The last 20 of which were with one employer (small shop in north Alabama)," replied skint_back. "He was making, get this.. $18 a(n) f-ing hour. Oh, he did get a jug of homemade wine at Christmas every year. I (had) been trying to get him to leave for years, and he finally did it last year. Took him about a month to find a machinist job starting at $30/hr."

Husband Roasted By Internet For Expecting His Wife to Clean Their House Alone So That He Can Bring Friends Over Unannounced

This husband insisted that his wife keep their house clean at all times so that he could drop in unannounced with friends and coworkers without feeling embarrassed, a position that has painted him as a villain in the internet's eyes. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the husband, u/Throwawaynes767 who used a throwaway account to shield their identity. The thread was posted with the title "AITA for telling my wife that it was embarrassing that the house was a mess when I had guests over?"

Commenters were outraged at the poster's actions and let him have it in their responses.

"YTA," replied SpookyArmadillo. "You basically sprung this upon her, didn't check to see if she happened to see the one (1) text where you just casually decided to spontaneously bring home people that day, and showed literally zero care that she wasn't feeling well. SAHM stands for stay-at-home mom, not stay-at-home maid. Her priority is the children. Not to be on call to make the house look unrealistically tidy in an hour's time."

Funniest Work Memes for All the Nine to Five Warriors Out There Getting Punched in the Face by the New Inflation Rate

We all put up with a lot of special BS during our nine to fives, but recently things have definitely reached a new level of absurdity since the inflation rate has decided to jump to a whopping 9.1, yet our salaries have not fully gotten the memo. Does this make the office place a little tenser? Definitely. But what can we do? Ask our employers for raises? Us and every other employee in America, but we would love to hear if anyone's raise actually matches that 9.1 rises. That would definitely be inspiring.

 

Until then, at least we can laugh at how ridiculous the economy looks today, and try to make fun predictions about when it is all going to return to normal. It needs to return to normal eventually right? Let's just put those kinds of thoughts aside for now and try to thoroughly enjoy these work memes that we found this week.

Bride Refuses to Pay Harpist Because of Her Dress Color

This wedding harpist was going to be playing at a wedding for a family that she had known for a long time. Leading up to the wedding she was sure to get her dress color approved so that there would be no misunderstanding on the day of the wedding. Inexplicably, the bride ended up wearing the same color of dress, even though the family had said nothing to the harpist. The family used this as an excuse to not pay the harpist for her services.

The thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the harpist who is wondering if she was wrong for wearing a dress the same color as the bride. 

Commenters reassured the harpist that she had done nothing wrong and had even gone above and beyond any expectation. They felt that the bridal party just wanted to find a reason to not pay her.

"Girl no, they just wanted to stiff you." said Creepy_Meringue3014 "You did everything you were supposed to. In future, invoice clients and keep electronic records in case things escalate in ways you cannot mitigate via fatherly intervention. Nta."

Insane Company Policy Revokes Tips and Reduces Wages of Outgoing Employees

Photos of an alleged resignation policy went viral on Reddit after they were posted to a popular subreddit. The resignation policy claims that the company will withhold all tips and reduce the wages of all outgoing employees.

The thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by an ex-employee's perplexed boyfriend. He posted the thread with the title "My girlfriend's last job has an interesting response to quitting."

These kinds of manipulative policies are often implemented by bad employers in order to gaslight uninformed workers into thinking that the employer has the power to do such a thing. In reality, any policy that isn't legal isn't going to hold any water when push comes to shove.

Commenters were shocked by the policy and questioned its legality.

"My gut says at least one of those is illegal in the US." commented geekymutt.

Another commenter, Ok-Gear-5593, advised that the workers take action. "Send it to your state wage and labor department. The company may be too small for them to care about or rules to apply though."

"Disney Adult" Bride Kicks Her Friend Out of Wedding Party Because She Can't Afford a Trip to Disneyland

This bride removed her friend from her bridal party and even blocked her number after the two had a falling out over the friend's inability to pay for a trip to Disneyland. Now the bride is wondering if she was out of line.

The thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the bride, Redditor u/thatswhathappenedyou. She is wondering if she was in the wrong for kicking her friend out of her bridal party.

The majority of commenters felt that the poster was in the wrong for their expectations and ensuing actions that led to the fallout. 

"YTA For thinking your friends should pay to go on a trip to Disneyland because you're getting married," replied penguin_squeak.

AidCookKnow offered an alternative take "NTA - I feel like all the Y T A people are glossing over the fact that the friend wasn't REQUIRED to go to Disney. OP told her it was fine if she didn't go. I feel like both parties overreacted though, once it became a problem."

Karen Assumes Random Guy is the Restaurant's Manager, Gets Served

This college student found himself in a Karen's crosshairs when she mistook him for the restaurant's manager. When she insisted, he decided to play her game and have a little fun with it.

The story was posted to Reddit's r/idontworkherelady subreddit by u/Raptor-2020. This subreddit is a have for stories where innocent bystanders and other customers have been mistaken by someone who assumes that they are an employee. This often paves the way for some great stories about Karens and Kevins and gives people in the service industry a great source of entertainment. 

Comments were mixed on this story with multiple people calling out the story for its contrived plot points. We found one especially harsh comment that was posted within an hour of the story going live. 

"I stopped reading after the setup and skipped to the end." replied AcEcolton32. "'Feel free to use this on YouTube.' Nice try with trying out your writing chops but they're shit. If you wanted to write a good fake idwhl story that's actually believable, don't make it read like a book, like you know every single detail of what happened with no doubt at all. Making yourself look like an amazing badass intellectual, pinning this fantasy version of yourself against some vile redneck family. And in the end of course you used your superior intellect and wit to, and I quote, "defeat" a Karen. It was all so generic and cringe inducing to read. I just imagine your classic obese reddit neck beard getting out of breath as he types this, jerking himself off to the idea that they're some kind of hero in this fiction they've created.

Looks like you even bought some upvotes and comments for this trash-ass post. Hope this all turns out to be a huge waste of time and money for you, because it certainly wasted my time."

20+ Hilarious Signs That Tickled Our Funniest Bones

Signs are an important part of our societal structure. They provide incredibly important direction to passersby, whether or not the information provider is actually present. In a way, they're incredibly similar to an NPC in a video game whose sole purpose is to provide you with one line of dialogue that may or may not help you on your quest. Sometimes their instruction could point you to a cave filled with treasure, or provide you a clue as to where you should go next on your quest, but sometimes they are entirely useless and just there because a developer was bored one day. These signs are in the same category as that third group of NPCs. They may not be providing any important direction or saving you from any dangers but they're still their doing their duty and providing a little entertainment. 

Scroll on to peruse this latest collection of funny signs and if you like these, there's a whole lot more to be browsed. 

Arrogant Douchenozzle Uncle Gets Served By The Waiter He Was Rude to

This uncle displayed utter arrogance and complete disregard for others with how he treated the waitstaff at this French restaurant. The waitstaff would soon get their revenge when the arrogant douchenozzle demanded their "finest" brandy. He dismissed all attempts to change his mind, so the waiter maliciously complied.

This brilliant revenge story was posted to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by Redditor u/BloodMeridianUK, who shared their story with the popular sub.

Commenters thoroughly enjoyed the story, although some expressed the story was perhaps a better fit for the r/maliciouscompliance subreddit, where these stories are usually posted. r/ProRevenge is generally reserved for more brutal and thorough acts of revenge. 

"I bet the mark up on a glass was even more," replied njb1989. "I hope he didn't even enjoy the brandy. For his birthday, buy him the cheapest bottle of brandy you can find and 3 glasses."

"He's dead now as is his wife, and they're not terribly missed." replied the original poster. "You're probably right about the mark-up. I had some of the Brandy, and not that I know much about Brandy, but my feeling is that people who drink 25k/bottle spirits do so mainly because they enjoy spending 25k/bottle, because it didn't taste much different from the 25/bottle stuff I've had at Christmas."

I swear to god if I get killed by a couch because some dumbass thought it would be a Chad move just to "hold onto it and it'll be fine" my soul will crawl up from hell, through their toilet, up their ass and burst out of their chest like Alien.

This is like drunk driving except at least people who choose to drink and drive have the miniscule benefit of having had their judgement impaired. These dipshits got up, drank a cup of coffee and said "today I choose to be an unsafe dick." So anyway, feel good that you're not this stupid.

18 People Share The Exact Moment That Made Them Decide to Nope Out Of A Relationship

They say "don't waste time dating your ex."  And it can be hard to leave, even if they suck. But sometimes you have an epiphany with someone that makes you go "oh man, there's definitely no coming back from this." It could be something as simple as a moment of hypocrisy or catching them in a lie. But sometime it's along the lines of "he sold my dad's urn to support his Magic: The Gathering addiction" and moments like those make it pretty easy to shove off.

Sometimes people show you exactly who they are, and it's up to you to realize that no amount of apologizing or feigned ignorance on their part is going to stop you from seeing them through regular-colored glasses. People are totally capable of change. But someone who makes you drop them off at their secret boyfriend's house probably isn't going to. Who cares if there's more fish in the sea. Being in a bad relationship is worse than being single.

Here are some unfortunate souls who explained why they stayed with their cheating partner.

Bad Neighbors Insist That They Have the Right to Use Family's Parking Spaces

What is it with neighbors and parking drama?

These neighbors insisted that they had the right to park and let others park in this family's spaces, even after being told otherwise. This led to a disagreement between the two parties and necessitated the family having to get their landlord involved. As commenters have pointed out, there's no winning in this situation because, no matter the result, you still have to live next to them.

The thread was posted to the r/entitledb*tch subreddit by Redditor u/JerbekaDlante who shared their story to vent their frustration with the situation and put their neighbors on blast.

Commenters voiced their displeasure at these neighbors' actions.

"I swear, It's absolutely impossible for some people to take no for an answer," responded GodAtWar46. "Your neighbors were definitely a bunch of spoiled brats as children, And as it turns out, as adults too."

"I'm petty and if I was in this situation I would park sideways and make sure I was in all three spaces every time I come home." offered Jayelynn25.
