sweet revenge on salty bosses - REACTION

[@amandapittar9398]

My BIL was CFO of a major company. He worked and studied his way up from the ground. He’s amazing. He was in a warehouse inspecting something as part of a tour, all major management in suits. He pointed out something wrong to do with a fork lift and the way it was being handled. A “fellow” suit scoffed and said what would he know? My BIL removed his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, donned a hard hat and proceeded to do the job better than the man employed. Silence. My BIL is gold, pure gold.😂😂😂

I got hired at Old Navy when I was 16 by an excellent manager who understood I was a good student with extracurricular activities. He was so nice and supportive and never scheduled me outside of the agreed upon hours. Well he was only the temporary manager while they searched for a new one, and my god the new lady was AWFUL! She would deliberately schedule me outside of my normal hours and constantly kept me way after the store closed. I was truly a model employee, and she just broke me. I will never understand why people drive away good employees when it's so easy to just be a decent person.

My boyfriend works for a local pizza chain here in Indiana. He started as a pie maker, worked his way up to assistant manager, then general manager, and now he’s district manager. I previously worked in marketing for the same pizza chain. Our boss/store owner, who owns 6 of the franchise locations, is incredible. He will come in and work pie maker shifts, he’ll answer phones and deal with customers, he works events, he does deliveries - on top of all the other “boss duties” he has like financial shit and repairs. My boyfriend does the same. We lost employees who went to college and we need someone to fill in? They’re there to fill in, no matter what position. That’s how you run a business and keep your employees happy. Be willing to do the same work they’re doing.

That's what I respect in a boss. At my job, we have one supervisor who has no real interest in learning ANYTHING about how we do our jobs and in fact has pushed many of her duties onto her subordinates because she didn't want to do them. The only person who likes her is the office snitch, who is regularly snitching to her. We have another supervisor who was hired a few months later. This supervisor immediately took an interest in learning what we do. She regularly schedules herself in various areas to learn. And as she's gotten better at the tasks, she fills in where needed. She is universally liked and respected. (And due to upper management BS, we're all a little afraid that now that we have one decent supervisor, she'll be scared off to a different job or she'll be fired for reasons none of us understand.) You don't always have to start at the bottom and work your way up to be respected. Even a newcomer can come in and be willing to listen and learn and earn that respect.

OMG!! That guy on the call...I swear I recognize his voice! I did some design work for a guy in England, some online work. I completed it and was really proud of my effort. A lot of others who'd seen the work all commented to him how they loved it. Two weeks later, after hemming and hawing about why he still hadn't paid me the rest of what he owed (Yes, I did get 50% deposit at least) he actually called in another designer, someone who I know well and have been friends with. He had her completely re-do the entire design. Everything from the theme, to the color palate, everything. When I commented that this wasn't what he had originally asked me to do, he started going around calling me names, saying I was crazy, that I was just a "pick-me." The fun revenge I got was that I was also really good friends with his GF at the time. She had been present at all our meetings and knew he was totally gasliting me! She was also really good friends (better than I was) with the other designer. She had a little private meeting with the other designer, told her the entire scoop, dumped the BF and the other designer quit, refusing to destroy any of the work I'd done!

IN-N-OUT Burger is awe inspiring in their employment practices. The moment IN-N-OUT opened in my area, practically every other restaurant and big-box retail store had to raise wages $3 above minimum wage to compete, because IN-N-OUT had a massive sign out front saying their starting pay with no experience was $16.50; $1.50 above what fair wage advocates were asking for. They also apparently only promote from within, offer free management training, and supplement tuition costs for employees? I was raised by extremist fake Christians and am not religious as a result. I kind of bristle around people who announce belonging to that club, because my experience leads me to believe those who are loud about it are probably virtue signaling and full of 💩, but the little bible verse hidden on the inside rim of the bottom of their cups kind of makes me happy. Like, "Aaawwww... maybe they really are so good to their people because they're doing their best to be a REAL Christian. How rare and shiny! I need to update my Pokédex!"

Question: do they allow the 10-15% “plagiarism” due to the fact that there is always a chance that someone else happened to have the same choice of words after thousands of papers having been written? 🤔 Just curious, because when I got my second degree it was because I just wanted to learn the subject (ASL Interpreter), but we had to run our papers thru the same kind of program, and I always worried that someone else had used my words, but luckily mine always came up negative - it didn’t use percentages, that I’m aware of, at the time, so that seems new to me

As someone in academia, you'd be surprised at how common it is for academics to plagiarise their work, use AI, or old school ghost writers. Many, many, many people with their PhD have done this. And its more common with a certain tax bracket if you get what I'm saying. Also, although plagiarism was harder to detect back in the day, it is by no means less common. It still happens a lot. ETA: medical doctors also don't necessarily have PhDs (though they can). PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy and is for academic (research) degrees. An MD is a Medical Doctor, which is a professional degree.

I am successful bc of that. Anyone above me who doesn’t work the floor, doesn’t know the positions, knows to let me lead the way, bc how WOULD they know how to run it, or what’s best? They help with what they do best, we all work together, it’s great.

[@mwmulv]

This is law for hourly employees in the US. They are not allowed to take emails or calls when not working. If they take a call while not working they got to be paid for it, overtime or not.

[@skellbo]

​@@mwmulv that is plainly untrue. In the US, labor laws vary wildly state by state. I am not sure what state you're from, but I have never seen anyone ever be compensated for taking calls or emails from their boss off the clock. In fact I've seen people be reprimanded for not communicating with the boss out of work, but I also live in the south where people tend to expect a lot of respect from people that they view as below them in the work or family tier system.

After a few days of this I asked if someone could help me as they were too heavy (I'm only 5ft and have back issues,) and my boss said "they're not that heavy, and everyone else can do it by themselves just fine.

We were like family to each other anyway. 😂 I do remember ringing one owner on Christmas Day, saying “Good news you can come and pick up your dog Rover and take him home for Christmas with the family!” He says to me “oh that’s great mate, we’re just having something to eat with the relatives so can you wait an hour?” I calmed myself before saying “We’d like to go home and have Christmas with our families too, we aren’t even open today, we just come in to look after the animals, so if you could come and get him now, we’d really appreciate it.” “Fair enough mate, I’ll come straight down” he says. 😂😂 That was the best Vet Nursing job I had.

You can't do it without them so make sure you let them know what they mean to you. when ppl are doing well, make sure to give genuine compliments and let them know you value them, it means a lot. you will notice ppl will want to work for you for years and your staff turnaround will not be as high (which is so awesome).

It really broke my heart and triggered me to see her being dragged down and insulted by this horrible, manipulative and abusive boss. I wanted her to stand up for herself so bad, she was too nice. But I understand it’s not the same when you’re in the moment and want to keep your cool. He had no right to decide when she freaking leaves a job. Glad she’s out of that situation and is doing much better now!

When i was 16, I started my first job in a kitchen at a retirement home. Everything was going well and i was learning everything. Now mind you, my grandma (RIP) worked in the kitchen before me and she gave me her position so she could have an easier position in the Activities department. Everything worked out well. After about a couple of months, my boss pulled me aside before i started work one day and said that she heard from someone that im neglecting my duties in the kitchen to help my grandma in her department. I would help her push residents out to the dining room so I could start serving their food and here and there help her grab something for one of the residents or herself (she was 72 at the time) but never get in the way of her job or anyone else's. I told my boss that I don't know where she heard that from but that i would help push residents into the dining room so they could be ready to eat before we start serving and that was it. She didn't really hear me out because she just wanted me to just SOLELY between the kitchen and dining room and no where else, not even delivering a plate to a resident's room if they were sick. So after that while discussion, i was thinking to myself, "who would think that im not doing what im supposed to be doing?" I went to school the next morning and wrote a letter to my boss explaining that I'm doing the duties she told me I have to do when I signed to work there. After school, I went to work (which was about a 2 minute drive from the school I was at), dropped off the letter on my bosses desk, then I worked my shift that night. Two days later, I come into work after school and my boss calls me into her office. My nerves are going crazy; I had no idea what to expect. When the door closed, she got in my face and yelled at me. Saying she did not appreciate the letter that it was very inappropriate that we didn't have a conversation at first and out of nowhere, she blurts out, "I am not an ogre!" I got confused why she said that because I never called her any kind of names, let alone her first name. Anyway, she just kept on yelling and making me feel bad about simply writing a letter trying to defend myself when this all started because of hearsay. I couldn't get a word in edgewise so all I said was "okay" and then went to work but of course I couldn't start work cause I was crying for 20 minutes and couldn't stop. My grandma comforted me and few other coworker who i would later form good friendships with. After about a year i was there, she finally left or retired (idk) but our head cook ended being the boss. Never seen her again. Some bosses really let ego go to their heads. It's sad.

I did that also as my first job. I was 16 and worked as a waitress in the dining room. I loved that job mainly because of the elderly people. That's a bummer that happened to you. I think it takes a kind person to work with the elderly. So it probably hurt you that much more. You didn't do anything wrong. I would've done the same thing you did. Your boss was projecting her own insecurities on you! She realized she was wrong. 😉 It's funny, I've never heard anyone else work the same first job as me. 🧡☺️✌️

@@crimsonfirelily lol everyone's first job is fast food or Walmart but I got roped into this because my grandma said it'd be nice if I had my own money and I reluctantly agreed and I ended up really like the place and the residents. I only wanted to help in the first place and help I did. And I guess people get mad that I help others while also doing my job, like we can multitask

[@crimsonfirelily]

@DemonSkunk0408 yes, exactly! It was down the street from my house. It was literally in my neighborhood. I didn't want to work fast food. I didn't have a car yet, so it was perfect with school hours. I knew some of the elderly people because they walked around my neighborhood. ☺️🧡

Both my kids worked for the same banquet. Both requested the same day off at least 2 months in advance for their cousins graduation and were told it wasn't a problem. The afternoon of the party (2 hours away), their boss kept calling and texting them, which they both ignored. The next thing I know, my phone starts to blow up as well. I, of course, was their emergency contact. I also ignored the phone. The messages boiled down to, if you don't come to work now, you will not work. She didn't fire them. Just never put them on the schedule again. Both found other jobs within a few weeks, and we're so much happier.

Worked for a warehouse employees were certified on equipment. Supervisors and managers were not. When certain merchandise was to be pulled manager or supervisor would have to be present. We were told to pull merchandise, we sat for 2hrs waiting on a manager. Multiple calls were made to have them come, we were told just pull it. Nah, we ain’t going to break rules. I finally got the warehouse boss(EVERYONE’s boss), he saw merchandise get counted & put on trucks he signed off on manifest and truck was gone. We (4 people) were called in to get fired for noncompliance of rules, they thought we used each other to have each other’s back on the rule.We called the big boss from his lunch,2 supervisors and an operating manager were fired. Apparently that plan for them to get rid of us, it backfired. They made less than us and worked more hours we were hourly they were salary.

When a boss tells you that you have to to work and can't quit, you just stop working, don't produce anything, just sit there and ignore them. What are they really going to do you already are not using them as a reference.

MD/PhD programs still make you go through medical school and complete your residencies. So even if a heart surgeon plagiarized his thesis (virtually impossible to do in the sciences, you have to do actual research, and check in with your advisor constantly), she still would have done all the work to operate on your heart. You can be comforted by that knowledge.

[@NatureLover-62]

Yes!!! My husband holds a MD/PhD from Baylor Medical School/College in Houston, early ‘90’s, and his professors all held MD’s, PhD’s and Doctorates so he couldn’t exactly plagiarize as most of them were on the cutting edge of the latest technology/research so it wasn’t like he could have skated through.

Toxic boss question (my boss' boss anyway; thank god for that layer): I had been working for a scientific publisher for 4 or so years when my 10-year-old son started having behaviors indicating a serious psychiatric disorder. My boss told me that as long as I worked 40 hours a week, she didn't care when, allowing me the flexibility to respond to emergencies, appointments, and hospital stays. She let the director of our section, her boss, know of the problem and our agreement (she mentioned I had adopted him when he was 3), and he said "Can't she give him back?"

What you have to remember is that most people only do 40-45% of what they are actually capable of, and that’s mostly due to shitty bosses. There are some outliers out there but I feel like that’s 90% of workspaces. If companies invested more into how to manage people and that they are people and not stupid drones, we would be much further in the world. Thanks for sharing these stories, it gave me a lot of satisfaction to see that one guy ripped of this titles and that one old boss still looking at Angela’s LinkedIn. So good!
