23 Greedy And Manipulative Bosses Who Made The Mistake Of Trying Employees Who Ain't Having It
Just about all of us have had a moment at work when we thought: This is B.S., and the people running things couldn't be bigger a-holes if they tried! I should tell them to go to hell! I SHOULD BLOW IT ALL UP!!
But then we don't...because we need to pay the rent and whatnot. But today, we are here to honor those who actually did it! The brave MoFos who said screw it and pushed back HARD!
1.First, there's this truck driver who — after the fat cat company owner decided to stop paying the drivers — "parked" their truck in the same space as the owner's Ferrari.
2.This fed-up worker quit their job with a letter that glitterbombed their manager with a bunch of little dicks.
3.And this person had a fearless response to their boss asking them to come in on their off day — a Saturday no less!
4.This person — after commuting all the way to work for a meeting only to discover it'd been cancelled without anyone telling him — left some, uh, feedback for his bosses on the company screens.
It reads: "Cancelling a meeting without notifying team members that have to drive a significant distance is unprofessional horseshit."
5.This person found out she was being WAY underpaid, so she called her company on it in the funniest way possible.
My company just listed on LinkedIn a job posting for what I’m currently doing (so we’re hiring another UX writer) and now thanks to salary transparency laws, I see that they intend to pay this person $32k-$90k more than they currently pay me, so I applied.
6.And this person resigned from their position...but not before telling their boss EXACTLY how freaking incompetent they are. I mean, they did NOT hold back!
It reads: "The main reasons for my resignation are due to your poor management of our store and its employees, and that (redacted) as a company is not in the least bit competitive in terms of its pay. To be completely honest, I have worked under many managers, and none have destroyed a perfectly competent team and turned nearly every employee against them in such a short period of time.
You do not know how to communicate with the team, or even treat them with the respect they deserve as part of YOUR team. You threaten and retaliate against every person who disagrees with you or has a problem with your actions. You micromanage every detail of the store. These things show that you do not trust anyone to do their jobs properly, and that you lack accountability. Overall, you act not like a manager or leader, but as a tyrant.
I would also like to point out that it is painfully obvious to everyone in the store that you hate (redacted) and have been working nonstop to make his life a living hell and feel as unwelcome as possible in our store. Though he does have his faults and has areas to work on, he is far better at being part of the team, and showing good leadership when it counts. It genuinely breaks my heart to see the passion so thoroughly drained out of a person as they watch their career slowly get torn apart.
My personal feelings will not interfere with my work performance, and I will maintain a professional attitude during my remaining time at the company."
7.This person DGAF about their boss's latest rule.
8.And this person — speaking of a DGAF attitude — came up with a strategy that allows them to come and go from their job as they please, no hassles.
9.These Japanese bus drivers on strike stuck it to their bosses without inconveniencing their riders. Gotta love it!
10.And this striking teacher — tired of people calling her profession "glorified babysitters" — did the math.
11.This fearless soul had quite the "reply all" response when the big boss said it was time to start returning to the office.
my gf's employer has sent all its (1,500+) staff an email saying they need to start returning to the office over the next few weeks, and some brave/insane soul has replied all with simply 'no'
12.And these workers were like, "Oh, you want us back in the office? We'll see about that!"
Got a new manager at work and he said he doesn’t believe in working from home and wants the office back in 5 days a week from Monday. I never seen so many resignation letters in my life
13.This person — in front of the whole company — was totally unafraid to say, "Yeah, that's not legal, champ" when their boss threatened to withhold wages for forgetting to clock in or out.
14.And this cashier put up this sign when their boss started taking their tips.
15.This person didn't let getting turned down for a raise go without retaliation.
my boss denied me a raise before my shift today. what’s some music you have never wanted to hear in a coffee shop?
16.And this intern called it exactly as he saw it when the company V.P. asked him if he was going to miss them.
It’s our hilarious interns last day. He’s autistic and a super straight shooter. My VP asked him in front of everyone on his way out “you gonna miss this place & the people at all?” and he said “Um..no” and walked out lmaoaoaoaoao
17.This person — tired of the boss never giving bonuses or raises despite high performance — responded to their generic "Atta boy!" message with this snarky meme.
18.This person probably didn't win the lottery, but they DID manage to strike their cluelessly entitled boss silent. So...a win!
19.These workers — and their union — did not put up with management getting rid of water and coffee cups.
20.This technician knew their worth and sent their employer this badass email.
21.And this person told their shitty, insensitive boss exactly what they could do to themselves.
22.This person quit while calling their company on their bullshit...and even signed off with "Bye, Felicia."
23.And lastly, this hilariously blunt supermarket worker let the customers know exactly what he thought about his job.
I asked the produce guy if I could try a grape and he said he wouldn’t care if I lit the store on fire with him in it
