In an effort to trim down a company, some managers try eliminating vital positions without replacing them. Some managers illegally dock pay, and IT has to get it all back. In this case a hotheaded manager went and made a pretty big mistake while also making sure there was a lot of proof for that mistake. Nice. Some managers are super chill, like this boss who used an eye gag to remove problem customers.

    Font - So, around 10 years ago I worked for a small, independent construction supplies store. We sold various things, from measuring tapes to power drills, plumbing fittings to sheet timber and paint to roof tiles. I had been there for 3 years by this point and got on well with the whole team. There were around 12 employees in total and everyone helped everyone, the atmosphere was always happy and cheerful. The boss, let's call him Jeff, was a star! I loved him! He was laid back as hell and we h

    Font - We had this superviser, Len, who had been with the company a good while. Len would come in early and open up in the morning before anyone else arrived and would stay back at night to lock up and close the gates. When Len left the company to move to his wifes home country about 2 years into my being there, I agreed with Jeff that I would take over from Len with regards to opening in the morning and closing at night. The verbal agreement with Jeff (and HR/payroll) was that I was not promote

    Font - Things were normal for a good while... until Jeff went on long term sick leave. He was a huge loss in and around the place and, naturally, we were all worried about him. I visited him regularly while he was absent and kept him up to date with the goings on and gossip. In the mean time, the firm hired a temporary replacement manager (Rick the prick) to fill in for Jeff. This guy was a complete buttock! Of the highest order!!! Noone liked him. He was smug and arrogant. He would say crude th

    Font - Soon enough, Rick was assessing the time sheets and noticed my daily 2 hours overtime claim. He called me in to speak about it and I informed him that as per the agreement with Jeff and HR/payroll. He asked if I had it in writing and I said no, it was a verbal agreement that people from HR/P would back me up on. Rick was his typical arrogant, smart bastard self and told me "I don't give a f k what you have agreed, it aint in writing so you aint getting the f-king OT!! I know it doesn't ta

    Font - Fine by me Rick!! That evening I hung the shop keys in the key cabinet and went to wash up. I wasn't the last out but I left at 5:05pm, instead of my usual 5:45 or there abouts. I walked out while all the lights were left on, the doors were unlocked and the gates were left open. Even the roller shutter door in the warehouse was left half open. The next morning I arrived little after 7:15 instead of my usual 6:30. Some colleagues had already turned up by this point. The place had been done

    Font - We all had to give statements to the police and a few days later I was called in to a meeting with HR and Rick the prick. I was well aware of what was coming and was well prepared. He went to town on me. He accused me of being in on it as I was the only keyholder (I wasn't) and that I was facing YEARS in prison. I sat in silence as he fired me 6 times in that meeting. Dereliction of duties. Breach of a verbal contract (apparently that's a thing) the lot. He was coming after me like wild f

    Font - innocently told Sarah, "I just did what my boss told me to do!" And the best part was the sheer horror on Ricks face when I pulled out 5 print outs of that email and handed them to him and said, "I have more of these at home just in case you feel like destroying these ones and removing emails from the system! Now, is there anything else? Can I get back to work or am I still fired??" Rick resigned that day.
