>>675284The only one that sounds like they need to be medicated is your boss. Can't imagine literally being at home and deciding to spend time watching the cameras at work. He also seemed to be making his own life harder.
My boss yelled at me because their was a cigarette on one of our outside tables when she walked into work the next morning after my night shift. You realize that literally anyone can sit at those tables from 10pm-10am, and that I can't prevent what happens after my shift is over? She also came up to me one day and went "You think I'm crazy don't you." Yeaahhh.. I quit that job after 6 months, 8.25 an hour wasn't worth it.

>>675269Horror stories? Not really but the insidious nature of the behavior gets under my skin.
So I work in a GDP environment, really strict with the documentation, and since I'm new I need to ask for clarification sometimes.
Anyway, I had to take a breather because new rules keep being introduced or just ignored to benefit the older coworkers who are showing me the ropes and have me put in the effort.
For example, I notice an older coworkers mistake on her paperwork. I point it out to her and she says it's my responsibility to register it in paperwork and all that because I'm the one who noticed it. Not 3 days later, same woman comes up to me and tells me I made the mistake, so I need to register it. Hmm. And it's very small things like that, but it adds up, but it's like…if I brought it up at all it would sound petty? Because as a group we have the same general responsibilities, and it only takes like 5-10 minutes to do. So if I said "uh shouldn't you be doing that?" I come off as lazy.
It has chill enough responsibilities, the manager is so nice and i'm paid well for what I do. But when those instances arise (several times a day), I usually need to take a breather to calm down so i'm not a complete cunt to them.
I mean on top of just a touch exploitative, it also leaves me on shaky ground of knowing what the rules actually are.
Just to add though I've relocated to within walking distance to work versus a 1.5 hour commute each way and it's much much better, I quite like the job I do but I don't want it to be my whole life. I'll never ever get a job with more than a 45 minute commute now, I hope. Now I can do things like shitpost on lolcow in my spare time!

When I was 19 I worked at my local Taco Bell for about 2 weeks before quitting. The day before I had quit, I saw a coworker wearing ankle socks, and I noted this because I was running low on tall socks and was thinking I could wear ankle socks the next day. But I guess that was the ultimate sin because when my manager saw me the next day, she pointed at my ankles (long legs, pants are never long enough, I was too broke to buy a new pair of pants so I was stuck with what I had) and started yelling "UNAPPROPRIATE". (Yep, not INappropriate. UNappropriate, cause she was an illiterate bitch) She yelled at me in front of all my coworkers and the other manager and sent me home to change, so I went home and changed into my pajamas and fucked right off.
Before that job I had a soul-sucking position at Walmart. When I was scheduled to close, I'd have to contact members of management to unlock doors and dumpsters for me, which was already a hassle. One evening though, for some fucking reason the daytime management switched over early to the night time crew, so I was trying to hunt down at least one fucking manager to unlock a few things for me. Ended up being stuck there for nearly 2 fucking hours past my shift end because no one would answer my radio calls, and if I hunted them down on the floor, they'd yell at me because they were with a customer. I was fucking livid. That was a few years ago but I'm still getting heated just typing this lmao.

Not a horror story, just general complaining about a coworker
I want to preface this by saying that I'm not trying to stroke my metaphorical dick, and that I'm not saying I'm the best employee to ever exist. I can follow directions and have a good enough work ethic for someone that was a neet before this job, that's it. In fact, that's what makes this coworker I have so annoying.
I was so damn nervous to start this job, and when I did I was beating myself up for making mistakes… for those first few days, maybe 3 or 4. After learning everything and getting comfortable, I haven't had a problem. And again, I'm no superstar, it's honestly just an easy, low-pressure job. So how is it that my coworker, who has worked here and worked in general much longer than I have, continues to fuck up at least once every single time she's working? I'm the newbie and I'm having to fix shit and apologize to customers on her behalf. They're such dumb fuck-ups too. They're the kind of mistakes that would get shrugged off if done by a new employee, but she's worked here for YEARS. And every time I have to call her to clarify something she fucked up, she doesn't even sound apologetic. At best she'll sound embarrassed. But most of the time she sounds surprised, almost as if she's saying "Oh, I didn't realize I'd have to actually deal with this. Thought that'd come up during YOUR shift."
I hope I never have to meet her in person, even if act nice to someone I'm awful at hiding how I really feel so I'm sure she'd see the irritation in my eyes lol

i work in a wine store that's essentially the walmart of liquor and i am so tired of the politics. i'm depressed and complacent and make enough money there to pay my rent and live semi comfortably, so i have yet to find something better for the past 3+ years i've been there, but the positions are so stratified it feels like a fucking caste system. i was hired as a cashier, so even though i'm now one of the most senior employees and i have learned a lot about both our products and our selling process, i have to fight to do anything but be stuck on my register. it's been better since covid started, we didn't shut down because "people need their alcohol in times like this! you're an essential business, hyuck hyuck" (don't even get me started on the casual alcoholism i've come to expect working at a liquor store for this long) but we hired a ton of new people. long story short 2 people who were also hired as cashiers but are older than i am have been promoted to the sales team after working there 6 months where i'm still having to fight to "earn" shifts that aren't register, even though i'm constantly busting my ass - i basically set up the online ordering counter since a lot of our business is online now, the entire beer department is me and one other person's responsibility, i trained every new cashier, and sales are consistently above target when i'm the only one on the floor. it's just so frustrating, i hate this job and my store manager seems hellbent on keeping me miserable but now more than ever i feel like i'm trapped there because so many people are out of work.

>>675379Also worked at Starbucks, some newish barista told a customer we were out of something (I think it was soy milk), so he cursed her out and threw his hot coffee at her.
She wasn't physically hurt luckily, but she was sobbing and the guy just casually strolled away like nothing. It was only like her second week out of training. I think our store called the cops on him but I don't remember what came of it.

I used to work in a very well-known clothing store in Europe, part-time because I was a full-time student. The store is implemented in big cities in big European countries and known for being cheap and convenient and from friends and family it's just normal in other countries. But in mine, no matter the city, the customers were extremely entitles at best, and crazy as fuck at worse. We were mostly students and a few full-time young adults or middle-aged mothers so we often had a bunch of customers with their super noisy brats pointing at us like we were some circus animals, saying shit like "look, if you don't want to end up like these people you have to work hard at school", even though over half of us were studying for prestigious master's degrees.
I was most of the time assigned at the changing rooms, and I can't even count the number of times I've seen puddles or bottles of piss, huge shits, used diapers, etc. in the changing rooms, it happened too many times. There were times where some crazy customers lost things or forgot them there and they're open every cabin while panicking, causing huge fights. This kept happening when the changing rooms became mixed. I've had customers change around stickers to force us to reduce prices for articles that were already dirt cheap and threatening me to sue the company even though I never gave a fuck and couldn't even do anything about it. And then, for some reason, they hired a literal retard to work with us full time, and he was ALWAYS assigned to the same areas of the store so I almost always had to babysit him while dealing with the craziest assholes I've ever seen. All my other coworkers were great though, except my manager and only him. He was an asshole and right before I quit I didn't see him at all and was told he pumped and dumped another manager, they fought over something else and he beat the fuck out of her so maybe he was fired before I left.
Soon before I left to start my slightly less shitty internship, I've had some guy going in the changing rooms without showing me any clothes so I stopped him and told him he had to wait in line if he wanted to try anything or if he was waiting for another customer. He straight up insulted me, showed me a white plastic card to show he was actually part of security, didn't notice he was showing the back of the card so he insulted me and threatened me for being retarded before showing the right side of the card. Which had a company logo that wasn't the security's company AT ALL. I called a supervisor who followed him and told him the things I did and he acted the same way. I then told the asshole manager and he was acting all smug like "oh, really? :) This happened? Are you sure? ;)" because apparently trying some kind of experiment where I'm called a stupid bitch and told I'll be beaten up by a guy twice my size is normal. A injured coworker told me the same guy did the same thing before but he shoved her away, so her injury was even worse for weeks. Literally hell on earth.

I used to work 2 days a week for a placement thing at my college. Meaning that I did everything an actual employee was supposed to do without getting paid for a year straight for that sweet E X P E R I E N C E.
It was for an upcoming webdev group that consisted of me doing most of the work while the ones who got paid/received the shoutouts did nothing except gossip and shit-talk the customers. It's been 3 years and I'm still bitter about it, as I still remember them giving me shit for not producing an original(mostly consisted of me having to combine 3 website designs together and then write/transfer most of the text while making fixes after hearing the feedback from the customer) and fully functioning website with more than 8 pages in a day.
God, just thinking about it makes me furious. I looked up their website recently and it's in shambles, so there's that.

>>675453We had one (1) chair in a small cubby at the back with the rest of the stock. We had to share that chair between us 5 and take turns on it, eating lunch in a literal dark corner like rats so the customers don't see us.
We also had to clean the air filters above the hot grill plate and deep fryers, and the floors were always slippery with oil. We were the main and busiest store of the fast food chain I worked at.

we have a lot of homeless people come in, which is fine for the most part. usually they mind their own business, use the computer, go to the bathroom, etc. but every now and again we'll get one with very obvious mental health issues, more specifically schizophrenia. i had one lady try to convince me that someone sneaks into the library after we close to spray pepper spray on the public computer keyboards because she knew what it felt like on her fingers. name dropped "beverly connely" and how she MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS!!! tried to get her to speak to a branch manager but when i suggested that she freaked out and said she couldnt speak to authority and literally ran out the building

> “what if he’s naked?”
> “the cops will be right behind you”

>called out to the locker room there was a female entering so everyone could scramble for a towel
>we don’t see him
> cop piped up “is that him over there?”
>old fat man showering, not hearing anyone saying excuse me
>I shout his name and the man turns around, it’s bill
>ohgodmyeyesmyeyes.jpg

Products didn't have any of those devices that make noises if you try to steal them and leave so we had strict rules in the changing rooms, so middle aged moms who were trying that shit would regularly lose their shit at us. And fuck the ones with strollers. Most of the time their strollers were empty because their kids could walk just fine but they'd still go to stores with them and bump into everyone so my legs were always bruised, or bump into everything and making clothes fall so we'd have to rearrange every perpetually.

I graduated college during the 2008 recession and ended up taking a job at a local printing shop so my family would stop yelling at me for being a failure. I should've acknowledged the red flags at the interview when the owner of the place decided to meet me at a fucking pizza restaurant for the interview and would pause every 5 minutes to look at TV behind me and rant about the newsfeed. He gave me a single-sheet contract for employment that was basically minimum wage with no benefits whatsoever. I told him I'd look it over and get back to him later that week. No other interviews came through so my parents told me to take the job while looking for something else. I emailed him the next day accepting the offer. It was one of the worst decisions of my life to this day.
Despite giving appearances of doing well, the company was in shambles. The guy had tons of outstanding bills and would do jobs without a down payment. It was only three people working there: me, the boss, and a graphic designer. Everyone else quit. My degree is in marketing/PR and the boss told me that my position was "flexible". Turns out that I was a glorified maid/secretary. The boss and the graphic designer would sit at their desks watching youtube videos and whenever the phone rang, none of them would answer it. The boss told me that I was always supposed to pick up first then transfer the call to him, to give the appearance of "professionalism". It took nearly three weeks to get my first payday and when it finally came around, the check wasn't properly filled out. I was so embarrassed at the bank because they flagged it for fraud and I was lucky to not get arrested.
Whenever the guys made a mess in the office I was expected to clean it up. On a snowy day, the graphic designer came through the back door and made a mess on the stairs. Instead of making a comment to the guy, he instead called me to the back of the office and told me that I "didn't bring value to his company". The graphic designer also had the keys to the office and was responsible for opening in the morning. There were numerous times that I stood outside the building and the guy showed up an hour late. The boss would then complain around payroll time about my late check-ins, saying that I "didn't take the job seriously." He would also complain when I looked out the window because it "made him feel like I didn't like my job."
There was another incident where a bunch of random orders were placed on the boss' credit card and the graphic designer openly blamed me for it when all of the charges were made before I even started working there. I had to search the company email archive myself and prove it wasn't me. I presented the evidence to the boss. Once again, instead of reprimanding the GD the boss told us both that he "wasn't going to go on a witch hunt" and "we should all try and work together". Between all this I overheard countless off-hand, thinly veiled misogynistic comments made by the boss while on the phone with his friends. The boss also forced us to work on Christmas Eve during a fucking blizzard when the whole city was shut down. There was nothing to do, so he had me stuff old invoices into envelopes that eventually got thrown out.
On New Years day he demanded we all show up at 630am for a "team meeting". I got there around 650am because the bus I took got stuck in the snow and I had to transfer to a different one. I explained myself but he yelled at me and I burst into tears despite myself because I was so damn sleepy and emotionally broken by the stress of working there. I still hadn't found another job and my family didn't support me quitting. The boss never apologized about the incident, and instead pretended nothing happened. I quit about three weeks after that when he accused me of cheating the clock and going on 3 hour lunch breaks despite the fact that my desk was 6 feet away from his (so he always saw where I was), there were security cameras, and I sent emails to clients during the supposed times I wasn't there. He also threatened to dock my pay by one hour for every 5 minutes I was late showing up in the morning or returning from lunch, which is illegal. At that point I finally stopped listening to my family and decided to stick up for myself. I walked out of the office during his reprimand and never went back. My parents were mad but I couldn't take anymore.
It took me a year to decompress from that job. It was truly the worst and most abusive ordeal I ever went through. It was the first job I ever had in my life and I didn't know better.

Or if you have some money take a paid online class at Stanford and put it on your profile-99% of the time recruiters are too lazy to figure out the difference.
Try to get an internship or entry level job in marketing, market research, software sales, whatever interests you. If you can get your profile looking nice recruiters will reach out to you. Even if you live in the middle of nowhere, most professional jobs are hiring remote now because of COVID anyways.
I know how ridiculous that sounds, but it works. Tbh it helps if you're young and moderately attractive (explains lack of experience, being attractive subconsciously makes you a more appealing hire), but you could probably still pull it off otherwise.

Worked at a pet hotel that also had grooming salon. The manager was absolutely insane and so many horrible things happened there. I have seen many people's pets get sick and some die due to negligence on management and not to mention how run down everything was. One time this bird was boarding and when dogs were being brought into kennels, one of them was able to open a door due to it being faulty and he killed the bird, got blamed on someone who had nothing to do with it. Poor girl got screamed at and fired when its the fault of management for not fixing broken things. My manager made staff put bird in the freezer and refused to call the owners for quite some time. I've seen dogs get giardia and get very ill because management refused to do anything about getting proper flooring to sanitize. One dog ended up with bloat over a holiday and couldn't be saved. A dog died over a weekend and manager put it in the groom salon for 2 days before doing anything, left a huge stain on the floor. Horror story that happened before I worked there: a dog in a playgroup was mauled to death by a few others. When I started working in the groom salon things didn't get better. We had to work on aggressive animals that were a huge safety hazard to not only us but themselves as well. She would book us so full that instead of 8 hour days it was more like 10 because she wouldn't let us leave, just kept adding dogs to the schedule. Also wouldn't let us take lunches or breaks without freaking out about it. Manager's dog was dying and she wouldn't stay with him so we made him comfortable in his last moments and didn't leave him alone. She neglected her dogs grooming to the point her dog was in pain so we bathed her, de-matted, and clipped her overgrown nails. Manager yelled at us for it as if she was ever going to take care of that poor dog. She used to groom and can hardly see so I've witnessed her cut animals while doing clips, shaved a whole nipple off a cat. I've seen her straight up let animals fall off the groom table, leave them in dryers unattended, let them sit in the dryers with piss and shit in it and leave it for us to clean. She was disgusting. She also tried to give my job away behind my back for no reason, once I found out about it all my coworkers and even the owner of the business told her you can't just give someone's job away because you feel like it. Idk how this was never brought up to have her fired, but a supervisor told us that one time the manager came in and was freaking out like crying and she said sometimes she feels like bringing a gun and shooting us all. I was so scared for my safety having someone like that in charge. The owners randomly wanted to do an overhaul of how the salon works and then it into a corporate like petco, and they told us we would no longer be able to cater to animal's special needs unless an owner pays more for it. I was done at that moment. We had alot of clients with skin issues and we were known for taking extra time and attention to give these poor animals what they deserve. Manager straight up told me to use normal shampoo on a dog that has severe dermatitis to where he needs special antifungal shampoo. I will never be forced to do something I think is unethical so a business can make more money so I left. It hurt to quit because I grew to know these animals as if they were my own pets and I miss them. But I cried so much working there and had constant panic attacks. My mental health is so much better now that I'm not dealing with crazy people being in charge making unethical decisions.

I called the next day to quit and never picked up my paycheck out of humiliation. I ended up working retail for a year with only mild anxiety, but the lesson here is to treat mental illness instead of just try to bulldoze it.

I barely interacted with either of them, but she went out of her way to start shit, like going to the managers if I was late by 2 minutes or made any minor mistake/did something not by the books. This shit went on for almost a year before another manager finally chewed her out and told her to stop acting like a child. I hope she got over this pickme phase.

My first retail job was at a skincare boutique in my local mall. My lead manager was (literally) some old trashy bitch from the high desert, and her and the assistant manager fucked up the store really badly after the lead ran off the old team.
I have no idea what her problem was, but she was abusive and low key racist. She only wanted Chinese people shopping at the store, made passive aggressive comments around me about black people being exaggerating monkeys, and I presume, talking mad shit about me behind my back.
They both did that game where nothing you do is ever good enough - I was too aggressive when I was trying to sell and be confident, but then when I was quiet because they kept accusing me of “scaring customers” (because I am the scary negro uwu) even though I never once got a complaint and I liked my customers. Soooo I was obviously “depressed” and had mental issues. I was never told my hours, got yelled at and pushed into the register during some stupid interrogation because “the manager was afraid of me”, and how I was so mean and terrifying and couldn’t be trusted working the floor, and other crazy shit I can’t be arsed to remember now.
I also suspected they were stealing my sign up receipts as I would get tons of emails under my name when I would have the store to myself, but then somehow mysteriously I would come into work the next day and be told I didn’t and how I was ruining the store’s rep. We had to (supposedly) get at least 60-80% new customer sign ups, but I was only getting 20%? I had started saving my receipts and nothing was adding up.
Then to add insult to injury, they ghosted me for two weeks, hoping I would quit, and when I tried to get an explanation of why no one was communicating with me, my lead hung up in my face in the middle of my call. She only fired me after I told her I wasn’t going to just up and quit after being worked like a mule over the summer. So then she went off on how I need to be scrubbing toilets and shit. I have always suspected they were hoping for a chimp out to fire me, and from comments she made about the old team, this wasn’t a new tactic of hers.
All of this over some fucking lavender lotion top kek.

He's a big cog in the machine and they don't want drama to stop the cogs from turning so they swept it under the rug.
Leaking the stuff to social media and yellow newspapers might work if their profits would be hurt by a customer boycott though.

Never cried but I want to scream or go lock myself in the work bathroom frequently. I work at the most drug and crime ridden inner city hospital in my area. Behaviour has gotten even worse because of Covid-19. I Get called a stupid whore, cunt, bitch, slut, idiot, retard, get told I am a soulless evil demon going to hell, and have my life threatened on a daily basis. We can't retaliate no matter how outrageous the behaviour or we are in deep shit. The most we can do is ask the patient or visitors to please be respectful. Had a like 50 year old guy come in just now (driving a Porsche, naturally) with earrings, a terrible bleach blonde dye job and a reusable skull mask. It's policy to get people to change their masks to medical ones when entering to make sure they are fresh. He tells me it's a stupid policy multiple times. I tell him he can keep his mask and to please just change it. He tells me he obviously knows that and I must be stupid. I ask him to please sanitize his hands. He tells me he did but I didn't see because I must be really bad at my job and stupid (I was juggling many other tasks). I tell him he is being quite impolite. He demands that I sit my ass down while looking at me like I'm a cockroach. Before I can properly screen him a nurse brings his mother, a patient out, and he mutters something like stupid bitch under this breath before leaving. I deal with at least a dozen people like this every day. The day before a woman called me a white whore and had her friends (patients) threaten to find my home and kill me because I wouldn't let her in the hospital after visiting hours to see someone. Makes me want to call in sick every day.

>>675269I've experienced so many shitty things at different jobs over the past 15-20 years! The most recent that made me upset was when I was working for a super small business, about 5-10 people. I was put in the position of finding and hiring a new person. The boss would ask me to send him the resumes first though and based on the names he would say we won't even interview them. Specifically, no black people he said. (He himself was a Chinese immigrant) I'm white and it disturbed me on a few levels which are probably obvious. I always kept my head down because I needed the job but I started looking shortly after that and found somewhere much better.
I always think about this though when I hear people try to say systemic racism doesn't exist.

This is pretty mundane, but one time I had to deal with a customer that stunk so bad it activated my fight or flight response. He was hugely overweight and smelled like a wet couch that had been used as a bathroom. I had to breathe through my mouth for the entire transaction and it actually made me panicky. I feel bad for people like that but god it was horrible. There was also this one guy that would always ask me creepy personal questions, like whether I wore child size clothing or if I could finish a whole subway sandwich on my own. He'd go on about his Chinese ex-wife and how smol and tiny she was. One time I was alone in the store with him so I just hid in the back room with a stick ready to hit him in case he tried something, kek. He creeped me the fuck out.

Well a month later another woman took the job and when she left a man had followed her, put a gun against her back and drove off with her and raped her.
While he got away, she still lived thankfully. Made me feel like I dodged a literal bullet esp. since dumbass me would've fought and probably gotten shot. At least it proved a point to my father.

In 2014, I worked at an online store that sold useless junk through eBay and Amazon. Very small company, no HR. At the time, we'd communicate through Skype and my dumbass used my personal Skype account. One of the girls from the shipping department was really annoying and I'd complain about her a lot through Skype to my friend who was also my coworker–we we're friends before this and she got me the job. We'd complain about everyone we worked with. One day, the shipping girl jokingly tells me she's going to hack my Skype. I laugh and say go ahead. Even though she annoyed me, we honestly got along and joked around a lot. I really thought she was just joking so it didn't really stick out as a red flag or anything and I forgot about it.
Weeks and weeks go by until one morning she messages me a direct quote from my Skype convo with my friend. Its clear she had access to my conversations because she kept referencing things I said to my friend. She eventually stops being cordial with me as well as every single person I'd work with. They would give me death stares, roll their eyes when I said good morning, and started making complaints about the quality of my work to my boss. I had to give a presentation and the way everyone stared at me was like they were cursing me. This went on for months and I hated going to work everyday. I know I talked shit, but did I really deserve this? I didn't even deal with this petty crap in middle school or high school. We didn't have HR and I didn't tell my boss because he hated confrontation and I didn't want to admit I spent most of my work day chatting away.
One time, I made a reddit account to look for advice about the situation in I wanna say 2015 and everyone in the comments blamed me. They all said its my fault because I was talking crap on company time and I was the one who gave her permission to hack my Skype in the first place. These autistic redditors smfh. I ended up not responding to anything and just deleted my account and post.
Anyway, in 2017, I was still working there and there were a lot of new employees because the turn around was high so things got less tense over time. I made friends with a newer girl so she told me everything. The shipping girl saw my friend's account logged in on the spare computer, but didn't do anything about it for a while until she told a different coworker about it. They read through everything and eventually decided to print it out and make multiple copies to share with the whole office. Everytime somebody new got hired, they would tell them about it and told them to ignore me and my friend. I hated the shipping girl so much and I just don't understand why she did it. I eventually forgave her because I learned that my one male coworker raped her and told her if she told anyone, it's her word against his and no one believe her. That male coworker also ensured that my boss would only hire young women because he was manipulative and skeezy as fuck. I left at the end of 2017 and never looked back. The shipping girl moved to another state and I honestly hope she's doing alright.

It didn't surprise me that she had bullied other "threats" to her position out of our department. Honestly after she left a lot of employees told me they didn't trust her or she had backstabbed them at one point in time, so she wasn't as popular as she thought. Some people really are that delusional. I guess women really do hate women in the workplace.

>>713757I worked at a hotel for years and I was expecting to hear stories like that but we were located next to a hospital so instead what happened was people would hole themselves up in the rooms to die because they were terminal, or they would spiral into depression because their family member was dying and you could see their mental state by looking at their room when you cleaned it… very sad. we had corporate rules about being cheerful and giving guests a warm greeting within 3 seconds of seeing them or w/e and one time this poor old guy blew his top at me like "no you can't do anything for me! stop asking! how can I have a good day when my fucking wife is dying?!" (paraphrasing) which honestly I do not blame him for doing.
although one time a guest intentionally left porn on display in his room for the housekeeper to see which really upset her. he got kicked out.
another time I was working overnight and around 3am a random guy outside asked to borrow my lighter and when I went to hand it to him he flashed me. I was pissed because he lowered his hand right before my hand got to his with the lighter and I instinctually followed his hand with my hand like I was chasing it, which brought me within inches of his dick. plus the movement drew my eyes away from his other hand that was apparently taking his dick out. fucking sleight-of-hand asshole. he ran away when I yelled at him, he was weirdly dirty & I'm not sure what his deal was, never saw him after that.

When I felt like the universe got revenge on my work bully, it made me feel bad. She had bullied me throughout the last half of high school right after my dad had died, I had just been moved to a new family in a new city because of it and now I'm new at school and very fucked up due to events. Nobody knew this info of course. She made sure to make my life hell for seemingly no reason, and made entire Tumblr accounts dedicated to photos of me that she'd take. A couple years after high school, I'm a higher up manager at a large chain and in walks one of my new employees - her. I was instantly so uncomfortable I stationed her as far away as possible from me and had other coworkers let her know where/when to go for breaks. It was easy to avoid her and there were no incidents I guess. She had had a kid that was quite disabled with a scrote, and this scrote eventually got addicted to every substance and was homeless not long after the kid was born. She herself runs a famous instagram account of gothic selfies but has absolutely no mention of having a kid or being a mother.
One day I got a call while I was working that she wanted to speak to me. I was seriously sweating bullets even though I was technically her boss at this point, I had no idea what it could even be about. But when she showed up, she was fuuuucked up. Her scrote had beat her up so badly she was unrecognizable. She was swollen, black and blue, her perfect nose was broken. It was so fucked up. She didn't even do her hair to come in, just jammed a hat on and met me in the finances room. She basically said that she had to quit but didn't want anyone else to see her in that state, and later that evening messaged me a big thank you for being so kind. I cried like an absolute bitch for about a week after because I felt such mixed feelings. Her life was so shit for like.. my viewing only, front-row seats. I lurked her recently and she's back with him, still no mention of the child. He would be like 7-8 years old now. It didn't make me feel better to see her in such a state, even though I kinda thought it should have had that effect or something. Maybe if I had kicked her ass it would have been different, though. I hope her scrote dies

I did my job, worked hard, this wasn't my first fast food job and I was an involved worker. She would pull me up for things like being late because I was smoking (I was walking to work with a smoke in my hand, not being purposefully late because I was having a cigarette), for being on my phone at work (I had it out charging and I was checking if it was charged so I could put it away). When she yelled at me for that, there was another girl on her phone BROWSING within both our eye sight, so I pointed that out and she just looked at her and told her to get off her phone, but only gave me a warning for it. They ended up firing me all because she didn't like me and pit the other managers up against me. She was obese, had fucked teeth and had those tattoos you see bogans (sorry, ausfag) get with a bunch of dates because they've lost several family members to meth and god knows what else. She called me a slut behind my back because I was comfortable chatting to another co-worker about my love life within her earshot, and that I was attention seeking. Honestly one of the most vile women I worked with, she was 10 years older than me and her obvious jealousy for the fact I was young and still had all my teeth was apparent.

Many managers are there to be the "heel", the designated bad guy, and are not so much to actually manage things.
Most people that start businesses are gregarious like other normies. They don't enjoy having to tardwrangle in workers and to be strict. They genuinely want to get along with people and having to be negative ruins their mood. So they hire someone who genuinely enjoys that shit as a job and gets off on it. And that way they can go back to being a person everyone likes and thinks highly of.
But the business owners and upper leadership that hire these psychos hold them in total contempt. I have relatives that own large businesses and growing up they used to tell me often "I would punch him out if I could, I absolutely despise him but he's useful" and "if I was one of my workers I wouldn't let him talk to me that way, but they take it so oh well".
I'm not sure if your average tardwrangling manager is aware of how much their bosses just see them as a useful tool, and despise them. I think they're ignorant to it, because they're often sycophantic little fucks that are desperate from validation from further up, and that asslicking is too intense and pointless to be entirely cynical. They're the former bullies at school that have come to believe in prosperity gospel bullshit and that if they just work hard enough, they'll be at the top themselves one day by golly. But they never seem to go any further up than they are, ever. They just stay at that level for ten, twenty, thirty years and then retire.
But because people are people and do push limits, you have to have someone that's a bit of a cunt there to keep people in line. The problem is that the job is too often being offloaded to sociopaths that get off on it, and inevitably they just end up bullying the most vulnerable person pointlessly until she leaves.

>>1284550Thankfully I didn't work in the human division otherwise being sent human parts would probably have been a possibility. Imagine opening a box at work thinking you were getting medical devices to put away and it's just casually a human heart or eye ball.
>>1284562This wasn't in a marked bio hazard box so when I opened it, I almost cut into the plastic bag it was in. Those aren't my hands in the pictures. I definitely handled it with gloves when I was told to put it in the cooler while we waited for word from the clinic on what to do with it. They ended up paying to have it same day shipped back to them.

for the past three years, i've worked as a social media manager at the coolest agency ever. i loved my job and the people. it was everything i'd ever dreamed of. i could be creative, had a lot of freedom and was given a lot of responsibility from the get go. was able to create stuff for various clients, contribute in big presentations to win over new ones, etc. everything seemed perfect. but this fucking job ended up killing every last bit of creativity i had. after year 3, i felt like a shell lmao. it's just making fucking ads for clients. all the time. trying to think of new ways to sell people on IG something, every goddamn month the same shit. and most of the time, you do it for brands you absolutely hate bc you can't choose. also, you're never done with work, you take it home with you and it was normal for me to get up at night and check if an ad was performing well. i was overworked af and it was seen as absolutely normal. i quit my job because i felt like i was on the brink of burnout. creativity is now dead. i can't be arsed to do anything now bc i feel so exhausted all the time, just burnt tf out and i was an avid painter and writer before. tldr a creative job will suck out every last drop of creativity if you get consumed by it.
