    First Story: Well it seems like this new warehouse manager seemed to not be very observant or pays much attention. The fact he didn’t see the red flag in that phrase "can I get that in writing" is insane. Honestly, this entire company's management is a shitshow. The warehouse manager screwed everyone over by telling OP to not fix any issues with the ERP and I find it funny that the VP still expected OP to continue to do extra work for free.
    Second Story: Why is K even a boss if she treats her employees like this? I feel like she just wanted to try to use this training as a power play
    Third Story: This hospital HR sounds absolutely useless. The fact that it took having the cops show up and make a report for them to actually do something is baffling
    Comment: Lmaoo, I bet the thief really enjoyed that cat food 😂
    Fourth Story: I would’ve dropped Bridezilla as a friend after the first tantrum for not getting her way. The fact it took this long shows how insanely patient they all are

    @iononcantomascrivo Před rokem +7

    The last story gave me flashbacks to how I pissed out of a almost 9-year friendship with a woman who behaved like the bridezilla. Let's call her Molly. To give you an accurate description, Molly was a blonde, blue-eyed, 40-something when I met her and was well into her 50s when I cut her off. She had two kids, was on her second marriage and was about to become a grandmother by the time I cut her off. Despite her age, she had the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old. Molly had no respect for boundaries, zero comprehension of the word no and no accountability that there are reprisals as well as consequences for her actions. Whenever she didn't get her way, it was a stage for meltdown of a tantrum that would have embarrassed a toddler. When the crocodile tears stopped, she went into full victim mode: blame shifting, name calling, personal attacks, insults, gaslighting, running to flying monkeys to start smear campaigns and then trying to reverse everything when the inevitable guilt set in. Make no mistake, Molly never ever felt guilty for the way she treated me or anyone else: she was just absolutely terrified of people finding out what she was truly like. Rule number one of living in this world: never underestimate people. underestimated me. I was well past done dealing with her crap when my estranged father passed away from stage 4 lung cancer. Molly knew we did not have a good relationship. As stated, Molly did not react well to people laying down boundaries or telling her no. So when I did enforce my boundaries and let her know that I was done with her crap, she outed me to him. This widened and already irreparable rift between the two of us and my father ended up disowning me. So, when he died, she couldn't have cared less and had the absolute nerve to say, this is a direct quote: “Well you two never got along anyway. “ That was it for me. I called her a few choice names and hung up on her. Naturally, she tried to do the whole private messaging in text messaging thing with a bunch of half-assed apologies the whole “I'm sorry but” routine. Her messages went unanswered. I did hear through the grapevine that she tried to spin everything in her favor but was absolutely lambasted by her husband and even her daughter, who was just as bad as she was, but apparently realized her mom had gone too far. Her ability to hit below the belt on that day of all days when I had lost a parentjust showed me how cruel she really was underneath her fake smile and goofy laugh. I used to think that she could be high maintenance and even if it temperamental, but in reality she was just an overgrown middle school mean girl who never mentally matured past the adolescent bully mindset. This was the last straw as I realized that just when I thought she couldn't dig any lower, Molly went and found a sub basement. I cut her off and I haven't had any contact with her since.

So he maliciously complied. No more additional time to make this one super critical part that was the base for the company’s product. It didn’t take long for the dominoes to come crashing down. They asked Critical Guy what he required to return to working his previous schedule. He told his bosses he never wanted to work with that supervisor again. Supervisor was fired. Work returned to normal (after clearing a big backlog). New hires were all told NEVER mess with Critical Guy. It was a pretty great story!

    Food theft is actually a tell that someone isn’t trustworthy (unless that person isn’t paid enough to buy enough food, which isn’t the case where I worked). I’ve worked for two Fortune 500 tech companies in my career and they took food theft from the communal fridges seriously. It was actually a cause for termination. Their reasoning, if someone didn’t have the integrity to be trusted to not steal their coworkers’ food from the shared fridge, they don’t have enough integrity to work on government contracts.

    @ajreukgjdi94 Před rokem

    I liked the ERP story, but I think OP could've handled asking for a raise better. Perhaps what's in the story isn't a direct quote, so there could've been more to it. But as stated, it would really look like intentional malicious compliance. If you cared about your workplace, you could've warned someone. So as a company exec, I really wouldn't expect him to want to reward OP's behavior and mindset. Having employees, especially high up/important employees who can't wait for any excuse to sabotage the company AND all its workers to extort them out of more money isn't a good strategy. Don't forget, there was a warehouse full of employees who didn't get paid.
    If it were me, I'd use wording like "I'd like your assistance to make some changes to make sure this can't happen again." You're immediately going to look like a company advocate, not a selfish money grabber. List the steps you think will help fix it. Namely, the job title change. Then at the end, bring up that the issue made you realize that you had taken on additional responsibilities, but weren't being compensated. I'd like to start a path that gets me into a promotion for my extra hard work for this company." Then it doesn't sound like an ultimatum: pay me or I'm not doing it. It sounds like you're going to start working on it now, and you'd really like if this ended in the company letting you know how valuable you really are. You can always ultimatum later, when the company isn't at its knees. But as it stands, it sounds pretty bad.

    yo so let me get this straight. the VP cut the consultants so OP could be the ERP person. the surpervisor ruined that and somehow convinced the VP to go back to the consultants? That VP is just as bad as the supervisor they are both idiots lol

    Glasses story: if the bride had mentioned this before the wedding day the bridesmaid could've considered a solution like contacts. Suddenly having this problem day of makes it impossible to fix.

    Man, that bridezilla story.
    I know it’s super easy to forget nowadays bc glasses are very normalized and accessorized, and that’s great! But glasses are considered a medical device for a reason.
    A request to remove them for the wedding/pictures? Sure, fine. Every glasses-wearing theater kid has dealt with that, but you better give a heads up so they can prepare to get/bring contacts if their eyesight is bad enough. Id argue it’d be reasonable to ask the bride to help pay for contacts if they didn’t have any already, bc you need an entire check up to get them prescribed and fitted and then a full week of being taught how to use them and training your eyes to accept them, and you can’t exactly just buy a couple of pairs at a time so that’s a lot of spare contacts you might not even use.
    A screaming-match demand the day of with no consideration of the compromise? Not alright.
    If this was new behavior on the Bridezilla’s part, it might be worth a discussion to figure out what’s up, though I also wouldn’t blame them for dropping her over this. Considering this is not their first issue with her? Yeah, this is a heavy straw to break the camel’s back. I hope they enjoyed their meal 😄

      honestly, i don't trust any stories found on reddit to be true unless they have news article attached to them. its only because we have things like video evidence along with the articles and that i personally seen some of these situations happen in real life that i "believe" these reddit stories.
      so like, odds are you won't find a real story but does it really matter if its real or not? these things really do happen, its just that the author is lying about it happening to them.

    I'll say about that first story: in a professional context, when someone demands to know why I've done one thing but will not listen when I tell them, it's going to get hot. Once I've said what I've done, if my actions were in error I'll take my lumps but I'll be given the chance to explain what and why and if I'm not given that, I promise that no one can speak loudly and longer than I can. I'll be getting heard, one way or the other.

    Regarding the story of stolen lunch food, I witnessed a similar problem as a contractor. We had a team of (5) programmers working at a client site, developing and installing a new computer system. Because of the office’s remote location it wasn’t possible to go out to lunch, eat and get back within an hour so we were forced to bring lunch. It was summer and we with much grudging we were finally permitted to place our lunches in the office refrigerator.
    On of my team members complained that someone had stolen part of his lunch, several times. I relayed the complaint to our company contact in the office who ignored the problem, suggested that WE were the problem and WE did not need to use the common refrigerator. After about a week we started spreading a rumor about a new std that would turn your pee blue if you contracted the virus and this symptom usually resulted in a fatality. The following week we laced several lunch desserts with methyl blue crystals and waited.
    What followed was chaos as an ambulance was called for the owner and his son. Seems they both started peeing blue the same afternoon. All office staff and onsite contractors were lectured about malicious pranks but lunches were never disturbed or stolen again.

    Story 1:
    The story of a not confident employee.
    If he would be confident, he would call the ERP consultants and get a job there. Or better get information to get a certification on the ERP system and consult on his own.
    Imagine a normal warehouse inventory pay to a 200$ per hour consultant pay added to the monthly few of consulting them.
    That is also the reason why workers who are comfortable and content with their job work for far less pay as their coworkers who know their value and are not afraid to change companies.

    @SubwaySweden Před rokem

    Story 1: I am a great it-tech, I am however a lousy at pointing out what a great tech I am and most of my managers through out the years have no idea what I do, they just call me in everytime some emergency happens or something complicated needs to be implemented then it's out of their hair (even if I have never been the only tech at any of my jobs, they still call me no matter if it's something withing my responsibilities or not)..... this basically ends up with that every job I quit they are shocked when I in my exit meeting explain what I do and what responsibilities I have, every job I have had they end up employing three or more people to half decently replace me so I feel for OP in that story (most good IT-tech should have our managers salaries and our managers often should not have a job in a decently ran universe).

    1st Story- Know your worth.

    I used to work 14 hr shifts doing physical labor, so I had 2 breakfasts{one for 4 am and one for 7 am} one lunch, and a dinner snack, and everyday at lunch my lunch would be gone out of the oven or freezer. It was always something dumb like a frozen burrito or pizza or something. So then the rest of the day i had to eat my snack then work the demanding work the next 5 hrs empty stomach.
    I confronted everyone the third day since I didn't know who was doing it, and people would do shit to F with you anyway, that they better stop cuz it was pissing me off. next day it was gone again. No surprise cuz usually if they knew it got to you, they increased their efforts.
    So for the following day i brought two lunches but hid one in my pack {you weren't supposed to have food in the plant but like hell I was going hungry another day} and for my decoy lunch, I ground an entire box of ex-lax, tore a corner off my frozen burrito and mixed it in the beans with a straw. Wrapped it in foil and put it in the warming oven. lunch time came and it was gone. I pulled my real lunch out and ate it.
    Never found out who was doing it, but it was the last time anyone messed with my lunch for the next 3 years, so it must have worked well enough word got around haha

    I had a food thief problem at a summer camp job and everyone was sick of it. So I decided to make the "Satan's burn" sandwich.
    Classic wet catfood, Carolina Reapers, ipecac syrup, chocolate laxatives, and crab apple juice.
    We found out very quickly who was stealing food, I got in some trouble but was off easy because the food theif stole from the owner of the camp as well.
