r/Maliciouscompliance My Boss Wants to Slap a Pregnant Lady!

[@jessicalee5260]

I love that a group of guys threw OP a baby shower! That's incredibly sweet! It reminds me of my old job, except there weren't any guys in my department. I was newly engaged. One of the girls in my department took it upon herself to throw me a Bachelorette party at her home. She bought snacks and drinks, made phallic shaped rice Krispy treats, and baked a cake. The other girls in the department came and we drank and played Cards Against Humanity and laughed for hours! It made me cry, because I didn't expect it at all, and no one who wasn't family had ever planned anything like that for me before. It's still one of my fondest memories seven years later.😊

First story. The fact that those guys throwing her a wonderful baby shower just shows how awesome they are. That is real love and respect to do that for her.

I have a manger similar, she lectures us to keep the counter clear but to do so would mean customers would wait, but everyone knows that product recovery (putting things back on shelves comes first). Because of short staffing, she has been closing manager despite working mornings since I've worked there. She doesn't seem to get how it works. I spent a 5 hour shift basically just putting things away and helping a few customers here and there, then took garbage back. The next day she really laid into us about the counter, so I wrote a letter to my assistant store manager and store manager. We don't have much respect for her, and we warn the new people about her tone and to ignore half of what she says.

Lesson about being given something extra: Either be kind and generous and say that you might've gotten a bit extra, or be grateful that you got more than what you asked and paid for.

I worked at McDonald's for almost a year in the grill, I'd always give out that extra nugget, not only did it prevent any complaints about too little nuggets, which my manager would always punish us for, but it also meant we went through them faster. Not many people are aware that all McDonald's cooked food is kept in a heating tray on the line, food sits there for ages until we sell it, so I'd make it a point to sell as many nugs as I could and dump any food that was more than an hour old. It's just gross at that point, and I can't eat any meat from McDonald's anymore because I know how long it's been sitting. Sorry if I ruined McDs for anyone with this information

My favorite union grievance as a civil servant location was this. We had about 3 or 4 supervisors and a new work condition was verbally given without a written background and explanation. So, each of the supervisors had their own take on that. One especially would flip every 15 minutes on what it meant. My informal grievance was submitted asking only for the policy be written down into a coherent and available document. After a month if an informal grievance isn’t dealt with it went up to the regional manager as a formal grievance. So, I get a call from the regional manager to ask how we could resolve this grievance. I stated that I wanted the policy to be published as a clear document. He then asked, “Your version of it.” No, I stated, theirs. There was a pause on the phone call (guessing that a silent WTF! Went off in his mind). He said he would get right on it and it was done. This regional manager was a great guy and I never had problems with him, and one occasion he helped me do maintenance on a machine while at our office without being asked. One last thing, our unit manager lost his yearly bonus, as that was automatic if a grievance went formal. I just got tired of the stupidity of local supervisors.

The last story reminds me of something that happened a couple weeks ago at my job. Currently I work at a grocery store as a cashier, and part of my job includes weighing and ringing up produce (as well as some fish and shrimp). One night, a guy goes through my lane with multiple things of produce and a bag of shrimp. I personally take pride in how fast I can run through people's transactions, so in my usual manner, I speed through ringing everything up. But after I take care of the shrimp, he pulls it back out and tells me to weigh it again because it was "supposed to be 2lbs, not 3." I roll my eyes at this and I try to tell him that that's what came up when I weighed it. But he insists. So I take the bag back and put it on the scale, and I start trying to show him it was that weight. But wouldn't you believe it, I was wrong! I tell him, "I'm so sorry, it looks like something happened with my scale earlier, I'll go ahead and fix it." The shrimp, without anything else added to it, was actually 3.8lbs, not 3.2 as I originally weighed it. I make sure to leave the shrimp on the scale and show him with the sweetest lil eye crinkles I can muster since surely he is unable to see the grossly sweet smile under my mask. He narrows his eyes at the screen and goes "wait, why is it more expensive now??" clearly upset at how I fixed my mistake. I let him know that something must have gone wrong the first time I rang the shrimp through and that this was the actual price-- that I was sorry for the inconvenience, as I put the shrimp back in a grocery bag and handed it back to him. (He wasn't too happy about this, I wonder why?) Honestly, I still have no clear idea why it initially rang up less expensive, I was probably going too fast for my scale to properly keep up. But if I ever see that man again, I'll be sure to properly weigh his shrimp on the first go!

[@catman64k]

i would say, you weight it, before it was fully set. A scale needs some time to adjust to a weight. As more weight, as longer it takes.

I swear the charity story was from my town. We had a lady running a charity that helped the homeless and addicted. She likely was on burn out but she got so nasty. I watched her chew out an employee for missing a big play item when she checked someone out. It was a $3.00 or $5.00 item and she was chewing this girl a new anal opening in front of the rest of us waiting to check out. Finally a customer intervenes and gently says, “It isn’t like you paid for the item in the first place.” It was a charity thrift shop. Al goods were donated. The manager goes off even more and tells the lady to “Get Out!” The nice lady was stunned! I who should also have said something but was still embarrassed for the sales girl getting reamed and now this lady just stood staring. She finally verbally kicked the nice lady out and that was that. She left the room and I finished checking out and reassuring the poor clerk that what she did was make a simple mistake and need not feel so bad. I also told her that her manager chewing her out in front of everyone was just plain wrong. I felt bad for not having said more! Not too long after this a different charity absorbed the older charity and took over the good work they did. I was so glad. I would occasionally see the former manager at church functions in the community and wonder how she could have been so unhinged in front of the public. Those of us who shopped there were a mix of well off all the way to dirt poor and the lady she threw out was well off and likely someone who spent a lot on the higher end collectible donated items and likely would have donated her self. Nothing like throwing out and yelling at the people who support your charity.

[@scotth6797]

Still absolutely wild that an abrasive comment made OP "check her vital signs for safety" and take 3 days off 💀

[@thebigmystery7841]

The maintnence guys throwing a baby shower is so amazing. Ive always had more guy friends than girl friends growing up due to my hobbies and I would CRY with happiness if my guy friends did that. So wholesome. 😭

[@AlliYAFF]

After watching this video, I only hate the US Postal Service even more now. Really messed up that private companies aren't allowed to deliver letter mail.

[@BlackCatBeauty]

Wait, is it common that baby showers are for women only? I’ve been to lots & they’ve all been for any friends & family who can attend, regardless of gender, as long as they got an invitation.

[@user-lr7dk7mt2w]

Until the last couple of decades it was very common men were either not allowed or didn't care to go to baby showers but during the last few years it's more common for men to join and be encouraged to join especially fathers as it's their baby to

[@infused_libra_studios]

I think the guys throwing the mom a baby shower is cute 😆 the first story was simply good

[@TheOfficialTarynTots]

I dont think that Baby showers are mostly women anymore. I know it wasn't in my case. It was 90% guys. They did a great job too but made it more guy friendly by having the place throw in a free keg of beer for the event and they picked a lot of the prizes for the baby shower games. They were mostly car of fishing related. I had one person tell me it wasn't right to have guys at a shower but I said to her they are my friends and why should they be excluded bc they're guys.

[@averagegamer7608]

Hey rslash I love ur content, commentary, and video format and professionalism. However I have two complaints. Your videos are too short and sometimes you repeat stories which really gives us a short episode sometimes it feels like wow we got 1 new story read to us. Yea I know I could just go to Reddit and read them myself but it lets me visualize stories more when read anyways sorry for the rant but please try not to give us repeat stories

[@PaigeBatman92]

Love listening in the morning before I go to class

[@badcreations9527]

One of the many crappy things about waking up early is that I have nothing to listen to. I’ve been waiting all morning for this

[@Nyra92]

Okay, the post office story: The man was an asshole, yes. But I got triggered by this sentence: "when you finally drag your butt to pick it up". Like we want to go to the post office. In my country, it's very common that the mailman doesn't ring the bell, to check if you are at home, so if you have to sign something to get your mail, you don't get it. I work at home most of the time, and it happened countless times, that I just saw a notification to go to the post office. So when I "finally drag my butt to pick it up" I'm pissed. (I'm not rude to tha staff there, because they are not the mailman.) But don't be rude to us.

[@tysonyawger6531]

I honestly don't know too much about unions but from what I've heard I think they should be allowed and perhaps even mandated by law (in the US). Too many employers screw over employees that in turn have little to no recourse. Perhaps if service industry and retail job workers had a union, they wouldn't have to put up with Karen type customers BS (not too much anyway, wouldn't want the waitstaff or cashier ETC. to turn karen type instead, entitlement can go both ways).

[@Choujifangirl]

“Let those who brewed the piss drink it” I have never heard that before in my life and now I’m going to use it so…yoink! *runs away with the statement laughing like a hyena*

[@charleenelson1061]

Listening to these while I get ready is therapeutic LOL

[@taylorlibby7642]

I have twice in my life encountered a pregnant woman so mean and evil that it made me worried for the health of the baby. (Different women to be clear)

[@amandafranklin1914]

Story 1: I thought my generation (X) had paved the way for co-ed baby showers. Maybe we didn't do as much as I thought.

[@wtheron4800]

Lol The thumbnail is a mexican famous soccer coach 🤣 (Nickname is El Piojo)

[@daniellepaszkiewicz1714]

A lot of these stories can be summed up as "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

[@allisoncastle]

Not gonna lie, I’m really annoyed with the coworkers OP tried to help in that story where the news got involved. He stayed around the ab*se SOLELY for *their* sake and they turn around and scream at him for reporting ab*se??? How dense can you possibly be???

[@braaitongs]

you cant build a wall along your property? In SA, every house in the suburbs has at least a 10 foot wall surrounding it.

[@uthmanbaksh3530]

Re: Rude customer vs union worker My parents always told me to get a government or even union job! I guess this is one of the perks of a union job!

[@FlanylShirtman]

I am pausing the video after the postal worker story to write this. About five years ago, I was in my driveway checking the camping gear in the trunk of my car getting ready for trip. The postal carrier rolls by, stops at my box, and drops off a letter. I finish checking things, and head over to see what was left. It was a "Sorry we missed you" notification for a certified letter. This idiot missed me standing right there in my driveway. I am 6 feet tall, and 320lbs. When I am right there in my driveway, you don't miss me. You are too goddam lazy to do your job. Of course, this has nothing to do with the OP in the story read here, being that she worked inside the branch, but the drivers in my neighborhood ARE that lazy and irresponsible.

[@strikeforce1500]

1st story: And what a surprise, this B had a friend in HR. People like Karen are miserable, and feel they need to spread their sh-ttiness around. Props to the maintenance team.

[@monedameow]

Miguel Herrera!!!!! What is he doing in the thumbnail?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 His expressions are legendary

[@silbury2325]

Postal worker chiming in. Postal story sounds pretty legit. The only part I have trouble believing is the PM (or any management for that matter) playing any degree of nice. Not saying it's impossible.

[@songohan3321]

Naming your child Karen today is considered abuse.

[@sobyroalvertron9441]

I'm Mexican, And it was super weird to see our ex-National Football Director in the Original Image.... Dude please don't be so weird over everywhere else.

[@ElZamo92]

I love seeing all the Miguel “El Piojo” Herrera memes… i remember seeing that moment on live TV, when he celebrated winning the “Liga MX”…

[@tomhurst1221]

Firstly, it’s not “only Mail” who knows what was inside? Maybe test results from a hospital, maybe documents needing signing for a life saving operation. Maybe the ransom letter they’ve been waiting for to save their families lives? Secondly, a split toe nail and you have to go on to light duties? If that’s what OP thinks pain is then they are in for a rude awakening if they ever break a bone for real. Let’s not even get started about child birth.

[@XmasReaper_4414]

No men at baby showers? I've been to a few. Who knew

[@L3onking]

Yeah who knew that men had nothing to do with making babies?! Learn something new everyday 🙃

[@itsdomingos]

O único problema desse vídeo é que ele acaba. kkkkkkkkk MEU DEUS, QUE VIAGEM! Foi uma p*ta viagem nostálgica pelos anos 2000, o Canella é uma verdadeira enciclopédia de cultura pop! Robertinho também entregou demais na interpretação!

[@sophiaann8918]

WAIT WAIT WAIT! You think baby showers are woman only?! Maybe its a Canadian thing or whatever but babyshowers were welcome to anyone of family and friends!

[@DulceReposa]

No men in baby showers? I've been to a lot of baby showers with men... Am I missing something? lol

[@SageofStars]

Yeah, story three is one of those scare tactics they love to throw around about unions and stuff. They cost too much, they make it so lazy works don't get off their duff and do their jobs, etc. But, in my experience, limited as it is, I've yet to meet a union that doesn't try to do their jobs. It's usually a management problem that causes issues, or worse, the management trying to screw the union over. To be fair, that's 3 unions, and not ones I was part of, as I was an outsider in all 3 places, but in at least 1 of them, the assholes in admin kept trying to throw them under the bus, as if THEY were costing the company money, whereas the admins in that place pulled down almost twice what everyone else did in total, and in 3 months, they did one piece of real work. Needless to say, we cleaned house of the upper staff there, and promoted from the floor instead.

[@carlolombardi1998]

3:36 From what I understand from an _I_ _Love_ _Lucy_ episode, men can throw a baby shower, too; however, the episode depicts them throwing one for Ricky (the father) while the ladies threw one for Lucy (the mother).

[@eythorl97k74]

Once a VHS tape fell on my big toenail breaking through it. It hurt like hell and took a year for the damage to grow out.

[@lynneconklin917]

Long ago, when he was still a teenager, my husband threw a banana to his mother (yes , she asked his to “toss” her a banana). She missed it, it hit her foot and broke one of the many small bones. Took a while to recover too. Became family legend.

[@adriananderson76]

Love listening RSLASH every day.

[@SmithYorkinster]

Are baby showers supposed to be just women? My son's had about a 50/50 man/woman ratio, it was just an excuse to have a party with friends and recieve free-diapers and baby-cream.

[@therealDeaddogg]

For the 5th story. My town is pretty small so there isn’t too much mail that comes through so, the lady that works the counter can find your package in less then a minute. Even if it took 3+ minutes I wouldn’t complain because it’s 3 MINUTES!

[@andrewlanglois6362]

3:52 in college, guys are Frat. OP would've been the only Frat Girl......

[@MorePower8679]

For the mail story, that guy must have thought the post office works like it does in Seinfeld.

[@jessicaraelene5276]

One of the KZbinrs I watch was expecting a son but she had to be in the hospital for a few months and so her husband's office actually threw a baby shower for him which I thought was pretty cool because you're right usually it's the women but I think that should change we should celebrate men just as much

[@L3onking]

You can do that by treating parents equally like that office.

[@adamlivesay1973]

Shelter story: Wait, how on earth did the shitty manager keep her position after that?

[@suspendedresolution]

"It's only mail". Yea but mail can be vital. Sure most of it is meaningless, but there are important documents and items that go through the mail. The "it's only mail" mentality is why so much of it comes to our houses damaged.

The only reason someone should be so antsy about getting their mail in .05 seconds is if they're shipping stuff they shouldn't be. I'd definitely make sure its all kosher

@rSlash I love your work. Truly. I do. But what is up with the thumbnails recently? They are very strange.

[@merrillsmith6672]

It's 2022 and nowadays men are often seen at baby showers in fact one of my gay freinds organized a baby shower and it was awesome
