"If I can't trust you for a quarter, why would I trust you for a dollar?"
You wouldn't. Also, it always brings a smile to my face when bosses say "if you don't like it, quit" and the employees are more than happy to quit.
People don't quit jobs. They quit bad bosses.
I had a good boss who, during my job interview, saw me freeze when he asked me about my previous job, and try to calculate a diplomatic answer.
He laughed, told me not to sweat it, that ppl don't quit jobs, they quit bad bosses.
That was the happiest retail job I ever had.
@@maggpiprime954 sounds like that person had the same experience
@@lorilancaster5917 Oh definitely!
He told his own story and said that the best thing that ever happened to him was to get fired!
(So, slightly different, but with the same vibe lol)
It is usually only bad bosses that make that ultimatum too... It is a power play in the big book for bad bosses for sure, right next to the chapter on "how to make people work overtime with no pay" and the "dehumanizing 101" part! LOL (I want to make this real now lol!)
yes thanks for explaining the very obvious lesson
“Our apartment is old. The building is 20 years old.” Umm, that’s not old, that’s just crappy build quality. My house is over 100 years old and only one or two spots creak.
Yep. My apartment is in a 120 year old house that hasn’t had much updates in the past 60 years bc it’s a crappy college studio, and it’s still got better noise protection than OP!😂
My home is the same Dad bought in 1964, it was built in 1962 and we were the first (and only) owners. I inherited it when my parents passed. Still in good shape, and much modified over the decades.
It really depends on the builder for the apartment complex. Some are done really fast and cheaply. So solid floors but save some cost by not using a adhesive on the joists for the subfloor. Older houses were built with better material.
My house was made in the 1700s. It creaks.
'murica! 😂
Story 3: Those who ask nicely will be responded kindly. Abruptly telling someone "You're covering someone else's shift" is not nice.
And the follow up, “You owe me one!” Also guarantees no one will ever volunteer
Some of these doorknobs would be surprised how far a 'please' would get them.
And even MORE surprised how far a "thanks, I owe you one" goes
Its not even just kindly if its short notice you have no obligation to stay any longer
I don’t know. I kindly asked my neighbor to fix their car alarm because it would go off if a vehicle drove by, even a Prius would set it off. They ignored me because their apt was on the other side of the complex. Their battery died one day and were asking people around to give them a jump. Lol no one would help them.
I don't work shifts I'm not scheduled and told to cover.
Last story: Locking class doors is a major safety hazard. What if a fire broke out and the locking mechanism malfunctioned. That principal knew exactly why he let go of that nutcase.
Given someone else let the student in, I think it was a "locked from the outside but can still open from the inside" door. But yeah, I imagine that it didn't help.
You clearly don’t live in the us. It would be scary if they didn’t here.
If a fire broke out they would open the door like they did in the story and leave.
@@mariposa9506 And if there was a fire, people would walk out of a fire door and not just stand in front of it blocking it. Still a safety hazard, still against the law, still a fireable offense.
@@friendlygiant2314 roflmao no it's not
My son briefly worked for a store in the same coffee shop chain as OP did in story #3. He was assigned shifts 9 days in a row. Sometimes he worked until midnight and then was expected to work the next morning shift. When he complained, he was fired. He was happy to be fired because he immediately found a job with better hours, pay and nicer managers.
In some cases, a firing is considered a promotion!! Glad he escaped from that black hole!!
Glad to hear your son got a better job!
When one door closes another one opens. Glad the door was nicer
Gotta love RSlash’s consistency. His comment on the fish tank of coffee reminded me of another short story he read about a guy’s bag of fish popping on the subway and one guy dumps out his coffee, another fills the cup with a bottle of water and then they put the fish in the cup and RSlash said almost the exact same thing “I’m imagining that fish swimming in the coffee water. That’s gotta be the most wired fish on the planet” or something along those lines
I imagine the fish being in bags and look on sadly as their home gets filled with this dark liquid
Hey man, he makes a lot of videos, I expect it's hard to keep track of every joke he's already told. Plus, he's a dad. It comes with the territory. 😂
"I DON'T CARE WHAT SECURITY TOLD YOU!"
This sentence alone should've been cause for INSTANT TERMINATION.
I’m betting the old man was the owner
@@lorilancaster5917 or knew the owner
If he’s the building manager though…doesn’t he override security saying it’s ok to prop the door open?
Sounded like the security was making an exception to a building policy of - all doors must be closed and locked at all times - and the manager was hanging on the policy while not thinking it through, so neither really were over the line.
@@black1917 like mr.bean?someone who is a total annoyance in the museum he works at but can't be fired,even by the board,simply because the highest authority person refuses to do so due to a promise he made to mr.bean's father...
Don’t you just love it when stupid bosses provoke already unhappy employees into quitting without realizing the boss needs the employees more than the employees need the boss until it’s too late?
Welcome to the Soviets comrade
They really believe that a good employee won't quit and find something better after being treated like garbage and being underpaid.
@@yazajag In my other comment I said there must be a "big book for bad bosses" because all bad bosses seem to follow the same playbook! LOL
the boss is just a paycheck and you can get that anywhere. the employee is a skilled laborer and you'll need to invest time and money to get that again.
@@yazajagThese types of people expect you to be grateful you’re being paid at all and low key think you should work for free.
If I was the principal, paperwork wouldn't even occur to me if a teacher's ENTIRE class came to my office in solidarity. The first thing on my mind would be "who the hell did I hire??"
Story 3: I worked at a Tim Hortons in New York and can confirm most of the bosses are pretty terrible. Mine would write me up for asking questions and call it insubordination. Most of my co-workers were 16 to 17-year-olds and couldn't cover late nights or early mornings so being 25 I offered to take the early morning shift which was 3:30 in the morning to 11:00 a.m. and I bent over backwards to do everything for her and she promoted a 16-year-old to manager over me. One day I had enough of the abuse and I came in to my 3:30 in the morning shift got everything ready and told her when she came in that today was my last day and I would wait until the next person came in at 6:00 a.m. or I would leave right then and she tried to guilt trip me by saying why didn't we have a discussion about this earlier we can talk this out. To which I replied I tried to you wrote me up for it and then left. 10 out of 10 do not recommend working for Tim Hortons
I work at chez Tim horton in Québec City and the manager is perfect.
Because he's me 😎
First Story: Imagine losing $84k over $81 a year pills. This insurance company brought this on themselves
Second Story: This boss sounds like a real joy to work for (sarcasm). I love how OP called a rivial shop right in front of his ex boss to get work there AND quit right then and there
Third Story: This right here is why u: be polite to others and don’t assume someone wants to cover a shift. If Kathy was a little bit polite, OP would’ve covered but she chose the opposite
Fourth Story: OP was just doing her job. Let the manager try to explain all of the speed of the coffee being lost. She told OP to give that one guy the 30 oz coffee so now everyone who ask for a large cup gets the 30 oz
Fifth Story: Lmaooo he realized he messed up when OP declined leaving the door propped open.
Sixth Story: She complains that OP and husband are "too loud"? I hope she gets a neighbor that will really show her the definition of loud. Hell, which is louder? Her banging on the ceiling or OP and husband just walking and living?
Seventh Story: Lmao, love it when students come together. They all did what she asked them to do but it resulted in her losing her job
Insurance Karen: "I told him to call a lawyer, it's not like he's *actually* going call a lawyer, right?"
OP: "...."
Insurance Karen: "....right?"
Lawyer: “Hope you have a loan”
Story 1: the age old strategy of stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime
Fourth story: and it’s also on the Karenager to inform OP of the cost. Screwed the restaurant over just for a couple of seconds of validation. Hate to break it to her, the trucker likely doesn’t remember her.
@@lorilancaster5917 Of course the trucker doesn't remember. She didn't start giving everyone a "large coffee" to please the trucker, she did it for malicious compliance with her boss.
Story 1: don't forget OP was willing to pay for the pills himself all he wanted was the prescription, so the insurance company lost $84K to save on paper
And that employee ruined it. The other folks in the company were great, it seemed.
am i a terrible person to enjoy all this revenge story??
@@scammecrusher no, everyone enjoys seeing an insurance company getting screwed up
I'd like to comment, someone is getting fired.
@@brunothebat4122💀🥫
Insurance Karen: "Call a lawyer!"
**Loses $84,000**
OP: "That's not very cash money of you."
Nah that's streets ahead
😂😂😂😂
Yeah, having administered testing accommodations requests, I can tell you that it's a bad idea to be this thoughtless and uncooperative with someone trying to fulfill a request especially if they are eligible for the thing they've asked for! And given the minimal cost involved in this situation, I can't believe the insurance staffer was so stupid. The reality is, it costs money to deal with these complaints even if the attorneys are company staff. So it's almost always better to find and alternative to that. And if you can't accommodate the request, you'd better be DAMN sure you've handled the rejection correctly... otherwise your company is gonna lose a BUNCH of money.
@@fdm2155 unless the employee is told to never approve such a request. odds are a costumer isn't going to sue so the insurance company now saves money. most of the time these people give you the run around and just say things like, i can't do that or let me transfer you over to someone who can help you. they don't just tell you to call a lawyer like that unless they are trying to help you because if they do what they are legally supposed to do then they will get fired. these kinds of companies don't want to pay out and will do everything they can to avoid that.
@@abiean222 you do realize it only takes ONE case to cost the company over $100k, right? Cost/benefit analysis would have told the employee it was stupid to risk a suit in this situation! So, lawsuits don't have to be common to be incredibly expensive for the company.
My wife and I used to live in a second floor apartment with thin floors. The downstairs neighbor used to bang on her ceiling because we were too loud. One day her husband came up to talk to us. He walked across the living room to sit on the sofa. His wife started banging. He walked back to the door, she banged some more. He walked back to the sofa, more banging. My wife and I hadn't moved from the front door the entire time. He apologized to us and told us he'd explain to his wife that we weren't being loud. She didn't bang again.
With a stupid neighbor like that, I'd begin wearing heavy boots, and get interested in clogging. Sucks to be her.
The worker's comp issue is vary common. If you don't have legal counsel, they play nice until they think they don't have to. Most people don't know how to get through the system without a lawyer, and lawyer won't take cases that they aren't confident are likely to prevail. Some people get awards and the insurance company just stops paying. Instead of filing to have benefits terminated for cause, they just stop paying...see if the worker ever reopens the claim.
Last story: Give the teach credit, she taught them the best lesson they got all year, the value of unity.
Even better since it was a social justice class
My entire senior class got tardy slips as our senior prank. There were so many of us that the senior level vice principal shouted “GO THE FUCK TO CLASS, Y’ALL WIN! GOOD LORD!”
For the record, we were the largest graduating class to ever pass through. There were over five hundred of is
That story about the neighbor below OP thinking they're being loud is strikingly similar (but not to the extreme) that my sibling dealt with a coupe years ago in Colorado. My sibling lives alone with their dog. The downstairs neighbor would bang on the walls and on the ceiling, screaming about how my sibling was being too loud. This would happen at 3am when my sibling would be sleeping too, which kept my sibling from sleeping. Their apartments had balconies and my sibling overheard the downstairs neighbor talking to their father who is a police officer threatening to go up to my sibling's apartment and beat her up, which my sibling immediately called out (and recorded). My sibling has anxiety and works 2 jobs so they are rarely home except to sleep. The neighbor kept claiming my sibling would run a Roomba all day and all night. The apartment also didn't have a manager or staff member to deal with issues between tenants for a long part of this. Eventually, they came the conclusion that the heating pipes in the walls of the bedroom side of the apartments were making the noise because it started during the fall when it got cold and only located in that area, not my sibling. PTSD was obviously dealt to my sibling from all this. Gets scared every time an item falls or if they took a step a tad too hard.. Walking on eggshells to not make noise is exhausting! They literally had maintenance and a cop communicate between the two apartments to confirm it wasn't my sibling or a Roomba but, the screaming and banging on the walls didn't stop. It also didn't help that this neighbor apparently has mental issues and uses some sort of substance along with alcohol... -_- I'm not sure why people think it is the people being inconsiderate and don't consider the actual infrastructure in between the apartments possibly making the noise! Just because the pipes are hidden, doesn't mean they don't make noise!
I once had someone who takes psychoactive meds of the anti variety tell me that alcohol neutralizes the anti. So an antipsychotic becomes a psychotic.
Though there is an antipsychotic with the side effect of psychotic rage. My late sister took it and it never worked so she was constantly enraged over everything. And it unfortunately rewired her brain so she had anger as her default mode. Not fun.
@@asmith8692 Geez. Sounds awful! Yeah, alcohol plus many drugs don't mix. I also think the neighbor was doing an illegal drug of some sort too, alongside possible legitimate drug use and alcohol. There was a small period of time where the neighbor never came home. Fliers were left wedged between the door and door frame for a couple weeks. We wonder if she went to jail or a mental hospital for a while. They eventually came back and went back to the same shit. Definitely was acting psychotic. Hearing stuff that wasn't really that loud, reacting to every little sound that did happen... making threats, etc... The management at that apartment complex is awful. Wasn't in the best part of Denver either.
While I'm not absolutely certain, I believe that on this side of the world any place built to such shoddy standards would never pass its inspection and be certified as suitable for habitation. Or, if it did and the problem was discovered later, both the builder and the inspector would be in serious legal trouble as well as having all licences to build and inspect revoked, plus potential civil damages against them.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 I think it was some weird combination of the neighbor being on some sort of combo of drugs and alcohol plus mental issues and a slight sound from the pipes. My sibling said there was subtle sounds from the pipes. Nothing really loud. But because the neighbor was drugged up or whatever issue they had, those subtle sounds were grating on their nerves and they just assumed it was my sibling. I'm not sure. My sibling never complained about the pipes being super loud anyway.
"I had been treated very well by the insurance company"
wait, that actually happens?
Yeah, I want their insurance, I have to fight tooth-and-nail for everything. Even pills that I have prescriptions for can only be filled when Wal-Mart actually has them in stock.
Id love an update for the coffee story, hear what the shithead manager did after realizing they been giving away tons of coffee for free.
Most likely the employees would just get yelled at for it.
Story 1 doesn't surprise me. Insurance companies hate doing anything for anyone until you get a lawyer involved
84,000 dollars is an insane amount of money. i cant even imagine losing it bc youre a KARENN
84k for an insurance company is a rounding error. They don't care.
@@Bynming the sad truth
She was probably standing the unemployment line the next day lol
What did they hope to accomplish by ending the guy's case and refusing to give him his pills? Well, for whatever reason, it was not worth it. Don't tell someone to get a lawyer, otherwise, they will and you're just setting yourself up to put a nuse around your neck.
That insurance company probably made more money from that abuse than they lose in the very rare case where someone actually has the courage, and more importantly, the budget, to actually bring a suit.
About the apartment story:
When my husband and I were first married, we went to visit friends in Memphis. They lived on the first floor of an apartment building. Man, the people who lived above them sounded like they were literally bowling upstairs! It wasn't like a walking sound, it was like a huge BOOM then rolling sounds. I'm telling you, literally bowling! The kids would come home from school and it was like the loudest thunderstorm you've ever heard! I'm not exaggerating! It would scare the hell out of me and my husband lol the first day we were there we stepped out of the apartment to "help them move" because it sounded like they were moving furniture and dropping it a lot LMAO
Needless to say, I can see how loud upstairs neighbors can seem even living normally. I live in a duplex now and I can hear them walking on our 100 year old floors all the time. Our duplex was originally a large house that they've divided into 2 apartments. Luckily, we only hear them when we're closest to each other, like near the wall that divides the house.
In that last story vice-principal saw the massive lawsuit, if something bad, like fire happens when class is locked. That's child endangerment at best and can easily lead to wrongful death or manslaughter...
If the door is locked it can still be opened from the inside example being the student who let the other student in. It is more so the fact the teacher locked the students out (even worse is when they lock them out before the bell rings). There was probably other things students told the principals about as well.
Actually both situations: keeping student locked out, and rest of the class locked in, is dangerous. AFAIK the only time teacher is permuted to lock the class door is when lockdown is declared due to presence of someone dangerous on the school ground.
That teacher screwed up and I think the only reason she didn't loose her job that day was because it would be too problematic to break her contract and find replacement.
@@urgon6321 that's not true at all
@Luna _TheRaider Just a thought though. Think about what if an active shooting started happenning. That child that is locked outside the classroom is now dead because a teacher locked the classroom door, especially since the moment an active shooting is called all the children are instructed away from the doors and windows. Plus in real life situations people are more likely to panic. That child would not be seen by classmates or the teacher. That child is now dead. I do believe that qualifies as child endangerment.
I laughed WAY harder than was necessary at the "snitches get stitches and end up in ditches" part!! I'm 43 and we used to say that ALL the time as kids lol.
Oh jeez, I once had a job working at a health food store. My assistant manager seemed to hate me and would keep talking down to me, telling me to do things not in my job description because "you're young, my back hurts and I can't go up those stairs" (she had no problem going upstairs to her office, however, and my legs were fucked up to the point I needed physical therapy to help relieve the pain). I was once passing her in the hall ten minutes before the end of my shift to get something from the coolers, and she TOLD me "you're staying an extra hour."
Staying an extra hour would have put me in traffic and added another hour and a half to two hours onto my already lengthy commute (2 hours normally one way, I didn't have a car so I took the bus). I paused, looked at her, and said "No I'm not because I have plans." I didn't really, but I did need to rush home so I could let my dog out since by that point, my roommate had gone to work a couple hours before (she always let him out before she went to work) and I didn't want my dog to have to wait up to 6 hours just to pee.
So I left at my scheduled time, and the next day she tried to get me in trouble for not staying late to help, but I told her I worked my scheduled shift and didn't agree to stay, and if she was really that short-staffed she could have stayed or called someone to ask if they wanted to come in an hour early. I'm glad I don't work there anymore, last I heard the department I worked in became a dumpster fire.
Workers Comp patients: ALWAYS get a lawyer. I work front desk in an outpatient physical therapy clinic, and the number of people I see get totally screwed over by WCF is staggering. All health insurance is a pain, but NOBODY is as bad as WCF. They have hoops within hoops within hoops for people to jump through, and if you don't jump? Well, just like Karen said, "CASE CLOSED." Listen to me, please. GET. A. LAWYER. Even if you don't think you need one, do it anyway.
As someone who lives on the bottom floor I can't lie, I enjoy hearing other people walking around. It reminds me I am not alone which means I can watch horror movies and still feel somewhat safe
Nothing like watching Rslash while being sick
Yes it’s legendary
Get well soon! 🌼
Get well. I am also sick but am working. (Self caused sickness my bad)
The catholic school story reminds me of something my dad told me about his middle school (which was filled with high-school aged kids who had flunked out). My dad was 16 in 8th grade (he aced tests but hated homework and had poor attendance). One day a kid near him in class had a firecracker and held it up. My dad (who had been smoking since he was about 14) pulled out a lighter and lit it. The kid tried to throw it out the window, but the windows were covered in chickenwire to stop kids from throwing things through them. It bounced and landed behind the teacher but the teacher didn't notice it. It went off and scared the crap out of the teacher. His pants were piss-soaked. So he was pissed on AND pissed off. He demanded to know who was responsible. No one would talk. He then ordered everyone to write the name of the culprit on a sheet of paper and pass it to him. Now, there was one goody two-shoes kid in the class named Dean. Everyone knew he would rat people out. So, the teacher gets the papers back and 99% said "Dean" and the one from Dean had my father's name. The teacher couldn't do anything though bc he couldn't prove it was my father who did it.
The bell ringing thing reminded me of what happened to my mother in Catholic school. There was this nun who was an absolute bitch. She would break multiple rulers per week by hitting students with them. She had a rule that the homework had to be on the table before the bell rang. But one day she opened the door late so kids were rushing in and there were 5 (including my mother) all trying to put their homework on her desk when the bell rang. She balled up her fist and backhanded all of them in their faces. My mom essentially got punched in the face by a nun. I guess some of the kids complained bc they ended up shipping that nun off to a loony bin after that.
The story about the door stop reminded me of my workplace many years ago. One of the guys put a door stop to prop open the door. Well, according to security that was not allowed. So the battle began. Every day security would take the door stop. The co worker would buy bags and bags of door stops to replace the ones taken away. Eventually, the battle ended but was comical at the time.
Third story: Tim Hortons is the Canadaian Dunkin Donuts, which is hilarious because when we lived in Quebec, there was a Dunkin Donuts near our house and no Tim Hortons in sight.
Last story: I'm pretty sure it's illegal to lock a door in a classroom unless there's a gunman in the building.
What actually funny is that I work at Tim Horton and if my manger said that to me they would be in trouble with the owner and GM.
My husband and I had downstairs neighbors once who didn't care how much noise they made. Kids running around, loud music, etc. We always tried to be quiet because we didn't want to be "those ppl" until I tripped and made noise when I stumbled... All went quiet downstairs for a second then those obnoxious asshats started banging on the ceiling! So, my husband and I started jumping up and down and banging pots and pans and anything else we could think of to make noise. Our kids joined in and we were at it for a good 2 hours before they sent one of the kids to knock on the door and ask us to please stop. After that, they only made noise a couple of times except on the weekends, but , you know...thats the weekend
That comment about the fish tank reminds me of the Justice League cartoon when Flash gets arrested after being mind controlled, and one of the cops questioning him says: "Maybe some coffee will help. How do you take it?" Flash: "Cream, and 37 sugars."
Dang, I need to write "If I can't trust you for a quarter, how can I trust you for a dollar" down somewhere.
OP could’ve copyrighted that and sold it on shirts!
Toxic Neighbor Story: I am going through that right now. Only she likes to call the landlord every day (who is siding with her) and knocks on my door even if it is dead silent in my downstairs apartment. Last night I could hear her screaming over the phone at my landlord at 3am. After dealing with that or a year, I told my landlord that its either her or me. I can't take the harassment anymore.
I posted the video from last night on TikToc. Not a very good one, but you can clearly hear her yelling in it.
EDIT: Just added to video to my CZcams channel.
I think you mean "aphorism" not "euphemism." An aphorism is a pithy, profound saying; a euphemism is a nicer way of saying something unpleasant or vulgar. Also, there is indeed a saying like that: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." (Luke 16:10)
Great stuff per usual! I appreciate that you find the most interesting stories and gloss over unimportant details.
Wonder what province that one in Canada was?
I know in this one that sounds like it could violate several parts of the worker protection.
1.) You have to get the permission of the worker to add hours which would definitely have been violated up front.
Same for...
2.) The maximum amount of work in a day which would also be violated by a 12 hour shift.
Which may also lead into...
3.) The required amount of time between shifts. Which is heavily implied to be violated after mention of needing to be up in the morning for the next one and that one taking 12 hours of that day. They've only got 4 hours of leeway since there must be 8 hours between shifts.
Fossil Man story: What would've been more reasonable is if they left the door propped open and had someone watch over the door, like a member of security. In case there was a shooting incident like what was mentioned earlier. But nope. Fossil Man shot himself in the foot by being a pain in the rear.
About the apartment lady: I would have invited the lady to walk around in my apartment for a minute while I film/record the sounds in hers to show her.
It's insane how that university hired an extremely conservative catholic to teach a social justice class
Conservative religious nuts don't belong in education at all. Being religious is fine but not like that
It’s a Catholic school TBF.
That's no excuse. Sure it's Catholic but it's a school. School is a place for people to learn, so conservative religious nuts don't belong there. Again, it's ok to be religious but not like that
Fun fact about coffee: the strongest coffee is Devil's Mountain Black Label. It has over 1,000 mg of caffeine per serving. I used to drink it, and it isn't as bad as you'd think. It felt more like a really smooth cup of coffee.
The Apartment Story I can relate too! I l live in an Apartment Complex and there's *no way* to be "Quiet." The walls are so thin that I can hear the kids, the parents and the pets running across the floor. If there's an argument, we hear it. The music is loud, we hear it. And sometimes you will hear the appliances as well! Hope the neighbor gets a family b/c good luck trying to tell the parents to "Keep your kids quiet! You're too loud!"
"The fossil man that was 2 days older than dirt."
I don't know why, but I adore this description.
I always say up front to a new employer that I will not lie to clients and they say it won't happen. I worked for pension consulting companies so there is fiduciary responsibility involved besides the fact I am handling billions of dollars. They are so concerned about their liability that I get fingerprinted and background checked but it never fails that some boss will ask me to lie to a client, I refuse, I get in trouble. These are extremely large consulting companies. Also having worked in HR many times doing the same work we are ordered to lie to employees. Try standing up and lying to 1000 people. My husband got very drunk after that speech. Exxon terminated him right after that a couple of weeks before his 10 year cliff vesting which meant he lost 10 years of pension money. There is obviously more to the story. So I thought consulting would be better working with lawyers, CPAs, and actuaries, but everybody has skeletons in the closet and I want to quit after I am aware of them. I have zero faith in management having any integrity with very very few exceptional individuals over my career. One of the best managers in my career got terminated by my consulting company and hired by Boeing HR. Congrats to Boeing, you got lucky because he is smart and honest. Most likely the reason he lost his job and they kept the idiot who didn't do anything but talk. I thought he was insulting me initially but it turns out he had a mental disorder of some kind where he would think out loud as he described simple vesting to me with over 40 years of experience. Some how management never noticed this issue but the people who worked for him had to listen for hours and productivity must have been cut way down because I wanted to scream and run from him. I would have quit if I worked in that department and that was the manager they kept. Of course they also kept the manager with 100 percent turnover every year.
I lived in a first floor apartment & was so aggravated by the kids upstairs that I fantasized about burning it to the ground. This 3yr old would run back and forth, from the front door to the back door literally NON STOP from about 8pm to 3am.
I had a newborn & they'd keep her awake. I knocked on the door one night, and the woman said it wasn't her. Must've been the neighbor. As soon as she said that, a sweaty kid who was out of breath came running up to the door. I thought about choking it, but was too exhausted. 🤣
I think no matter how quiet an upstairs neighbor is, the noise is amplified.
Why did I laugh too much about the coffee-wired fish? 😂
Fire video I just wanna say I’ve been a big fan of your content for a long time and keep up the good work 🤙🏽
Don't forget collective punishments are considered by the Geneva convention to be inhumane, and thus are illegal and considered a war crime. Imagine being charged with war crimes because your students wouldn't tell you who walked into class late.
Am I the only one who finds the first story sus? Who calls the insurance company instead of their doctor? You go to your doctor to ask for a new prescription if you run out of refills or it expired, the insurance company can't write you a new prescription. And if it expired it's the pharmacy that's not refilling it, not the insurance company. And all prescriptions have fixed refills and expiration dates (right on the bottle!) because prescriptions don't exist in perpetuity with endless refills, no matter how long term a condition is. Medical care is a process that involves regular doctor's visits and assessments, where prescriptions can be refined or stopped. And if the prescription had expired then OP was long past due for a follow-up with a doctor, an appointment that should have been scheduled long in advance. And what could the insurance company even do if there wasn't an active claim (a new prescription) happening? And "I sued them and won!" no details, timelines or anything. And I don't even think OP had much of a claim to even win with. Top to bottom the story is weird. The pharmacy, even the insurance company, would have told OP to talk to their doctor about getting a new prescription and this "story" wouldn't have happened.
The insurance one is so sad…Karen was probably in a crunch to save her job by closing a case which is probably part of her metrics for her job at the insurance place…now I don’t know for sure but that’s my guess and if it’s true then shame on the upper executives for forcing these kinds of metrics on their employees without personal consideration for each case (which is really what the job SHOULD be)
12 oz Coffee Story: If I were OP, I'd be calling the Regional/District Manager and telling them exactly what Store Manager said and asking them just how exactly am I supposed to ring up a 30 oz coffee on the Register?
I suspect R/DM would be out at my location fairly quickly to rip Store Manager multiple new Waste Disposal Orifices...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
That last one is crazy. I agree with shutting the door so being late becomes stigmatized. In most cases that promotes a positive behavior change in kids who don't want their peers to think less of them.
But making a whole class go get tardy slips is just ridiculous. That doesn't teach kids anything or promote any positing behavior. That's just bullying.
It's interesting to see that a pissing match between a security department and maintenance/operations department is universal
Coffee story - Most hot cups are some sort of styrofoam (to keep the drink hot) and most cold cups are wax coated paper. If you've ever put a hot drink into a cold cup, chances are, you're going to be drinking waxed coffee. 🤢🤢
The propping the door open story would have been 10x more satisfying if at the end when he popped his head in to say "thank you" he added on top of that "Next time I have a big load maybe I CAN prop the door open..."
this guy for real got sneaky snitch playing in the backround
The story about the apartment: I lived at the bottom floor of an apt and I never assumed the people above me were coming home and sprinting across their apartment after work. They were just walking and that was the reality of me living on the bottom floor 🤦
That last story is horrifying. Locking students in and outside the classroom is a HUGE safety hazard. So many things could go wrong, whether it's bad weather, a lockdown or a fire. What that teacher was doing had to be illegal and downright dangerous. No wonder she was fired on the spot. I'm confident she was fired for her blatant disregard for safety hazards over just not wanting to do paperwork that morning.
Lol
Second story: that quote is similar to Luke 16:10 - Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
My favorite sayings are "If it looks stupid, but it works, then it ain't stupid" and "Everyone's weird in their own wonderful way."
The last story is a genuine “I am Spartacus!” moment. 😂
After seeing how employers (especially government agencies) and insurance companies treat workmen's comp cases in my nearly 50 years of working experience, the FIRST thing you need to do is find a good WC attorney and retain them. No matter how nice and cooperative they are at first, the push to "get this over with" will overrule any initial cooperative efforts they show. Be nice but firm. The faster you understand that the WC doctors and providers don't work for you; they work for your employer, the faster you grasp this, the sooner you will protect yourself and your health.
I love that "If I can't trust you for a quarter ...." quote. It is profound!
At the risk of coming over pedantic, the correct phrase is "He who hesitates is lost." not he who waits...the difference is subtle but important, strategically speaking. At times, it is wise to wait and observe but once a course of action is decided it should be carried out without hesitation...even if that course of action is to do nothing.
Let's get Rslash to 2 Million subs!!
I used to work for a Tim Horton’s and I was so overworked that I went on the sick for 3 months before quitting. I lived a 10 min walk from it do I’d always get a call if they needed someone to cover a shift or come in early.
I actually broke down crying twice in one week just before I went on the sick before having a panic attack that another shift manager had to talk me down from.
I still go in there from time to time and every single time there’s new staff. Maybe the upper management haven’t realised that giving people 10-12 hour shifts with only 1 short break isn’t a good idea?
Re: 20 year old apartment. Sorry, it's not old, it's FLIMSLY. My house is over a hundred years old and it doesn't creak at all. Even all the doors open and close without problems. Now that's old. It's also a house that was built by a craftsman.
I went to a Catholic School up until 2015. It's common to get locked out during morning prayer if you're running late.
I had a downstairs neighbor like that. Always banging on the radiator and shouting to be quiet. One time even waking up my girlfriend who had gone to bed early with a headache. I being very careful to be quiet so I wouldn't disturb her, but that still wasn't enough for him.
Well one time I spend some time abroad and rented the appartment out to my cousin, who had a four year old child, and whose husband was very tall, very broad, and much less accomodating than me.
After I returned he seemed much happier to have me living upstairs.
OP in the first story is so lucky it all worked out, and in such a reasonable amount of time, by the sound of it.
I fell at work at Olive Garden, it’s been over 7 years. Workers comp sucks. Also, fuck Olive Garden!
Story 1: Simply return to your doctor and get a renewal on your prescription...? These basic things should really be taught in school, otherwise we all end up making these uninformed mistakes at one point or another. But I suppose that's ultimately all part of the consumerist agenda.
So... the malicious compliance was to punish some old guy by making him run back and forth (something old people are known to do often for sure) because he was (rightfully) scared for his life.
I'm usually left wondering if the manager/boss/whatever is on a power trip or trying to save money no matter what or just an asshole because why is it so bad to give your best worker the raise they want? The second story had him lose an employee over a quarter.
Good morning rslash community.
8:44 "...a bunch of fish swimming around in the fish tank full of coffee"
rslash: Those fish would be absolutely _wired_
me: No, no, those fish would be absolutely _dead_
8:52 “Those fish would be absolutely wired” Fun fact: the fish would likely explode (literally) due to an absurdly high heart rate. Caffeine is a natural pesticide that causes small animals hearts to explode.
What a great story to hear as I'm nervous to visit the doctor today concerning my work comp case
Nothing like a pettiness to re teach adults manners
Last Story: Personally, I haven't got anything against religion or people being religious. But when you DELIBERATELY lock kids out of the classroom for prayer, something's wrong! I mean, I understand some Catholics are strict about it, but that's pretty asinine...
I don't know what is taught in "social justice" but I hope OP's class all got an A+ for their understanding unionisation, peaceful protest and collective action.
"If I can't trust you for a quarter, why would I trust you for a dollar?" This is literally a parable that Jesus gives in the Bible. He who is faithful with little, is faithful with much :)
Every time you said Mrs Prick i died. Also, how is ahole wrong but prick isnt? Yt be all kinds of messed up.
Oh boy that second to last story reminded me of my old downstairs neighbor who came to my door at 7 PM on a Thursday asking me to not constantly stomp (we were walking normally) and then put in a freaking complaint with the office a week after I proceeded to walk on eggshells constantly. Luckily I left not long after but to be honest if you're that sensitive to sound you probably shouldn't choose the bottom floor of an apartment complex....
NOT PAYING 😳 the court caseeeeee
That last story LMAO. I think I can confidently say that it happened in the Philippines. Gotta say I love the class's solidarity, those kids have been together for years I reckon so it's one stuck up b word of a teacher VS a tight knit group of kids--senior high school students no less lol. Takes me back to those days
Hey rslash, I love your vids and I actually have a AITA story that I'm kinda torn on, if I send it to you would you read it and give me your opinion on it and maybe read it in one of your next videos so I can get others opinions, keep up the amazing work brotha
All I can say is... That thing the credit card companies do, you can do, too. I had a past employer get so forked over by debt reporting, they had to change the name of the company to rebuild their corporate identity and reputation. Should have just paid the $1,400 they owed me instead of putting themselves in the position to have that blow up in their faces.
Ok, the coffee story. So at a truck stop it is not uncommon to see a truck driver fill his personal 72 ounce thermos. Dont know what they are charged but in some truck stops just say Loves as an example, they will sell you the thermos, you come in and fill it at a discounted price. Now just imagine trying to drink a 72 ounce coffee.
Story 6:
I know that to an extent. Not that you have to tiptoe, but other things. I live in a big apparement-complex. From my neighbour (I think) I sometimes hear a rather loud TV. From the person, who lives above me (I think), I very often hear loud coughing (sometimes even as he would cough his lungs out). From the main door a few stories below me, I can hear the one door, which needs oil. But that is during the day.
Is it that our American craftsmanship is so crappy compared to most countries the reason that we consider a building to be "old" at 20 years? I mean, Europe has building that have stood for hundreds, if not a thousand, years, and are still in daily use. That apartment wasn't even old enough to drink,lol.
No one calls 20 year old buildings old except zoomers with no perspective and rich idiots who think everything needs to be brand new to be acceptable.
@@robertc.9503 I'm just hearing it more and more in various posts, and it really makes me facepalm and understand why we can't have nice things
I want to know what Miss prick would have done if the entire class just told her no and continued to sit
last story: I guess, the VP had another problem. a locked door with students inside is a huge problem in case of an emergency.
I love rslash's impression of a door buzzer
I had a manager who hired someone to do my job (because i was lazy and unreliable i assume because lots of complaints on unfinished work since i had a million item list to do) he had me train them then cut my hours I did exactly what he said and his new hard working employee got tired of the giant list of shit and didn't show up to work for a whole week and didn't answer his phone guess who he called to work I simply said I had already taken extra doordash hours to cover my missing hours a lie but guess who had to work 5 double shifts and who got all his 40 hours back the next week. Ofc he cut my hours because I was unreliable and hired a ton of new people because no one wanted to cover those shifts for him. Happy ending I applied for unemployment since my hours were cut so they transferred me to a better store since they would rather pay me to work then pay me to stay home looking for work now my duties are much less so i can finish really quick and my new boss is the best.
Note to people who live in a apartment building. If you're a Karen and you think that every little noise, you can pound on the floor of the tenants above you. Yeah I'm going to laugh when the cops get called and you get arrested for harassment and you get kicked out of your house
Hehehe, last story is funny. So she teaches justice. She commits what's basically considered a war crime (basically you are not allowed to punish an entire group for the actions of one, or even a few. ESPECIALLY if those people are locked up against their will. Remember the locked door?). So she got a taste of the thing she was supposed to teach.
That first story I wonder if she got fired for costing the company that much money
I doubt it
20 years is not old. My house was build in 1930's
