Being understaffed and having a manager who refuses to do any extra work is a recipe for a bad day. When this employee was told they had to stay late just because their manager wasn't willing to help, they pulled a classic reverse Uno card move. There are a surprising amount of bad bosses out there, like this incompetent manager who threw away 40 computers. or this boss who told a guy to guard a spill.

Had to do the work herself at the end of the night. ос s When I was in high school I had a part time job working at a local restaurant. One day I came in and was scheduled to wash dishes, no big deal. I walked into the back and came to find out that the morning shift did not have a dish washer therefore there was a mountain of dishes. No bueno. On top of all of that, we got slammed that night

    Text - Since I was a minor, not only did I have to take a 30 minute break, I also could not work past 11pm on school nights. So after clocking back in from my break, I resumed washing the mountain of dishes that had accumulated. I took my time and didn't rush to get everything cleaned, but also wasn't going extremely slow on purpose. 10:59 rolls around and I walk into the office to tell her that I am leaving. She asked 'got everything done? 'Nope!' I said. It's a Wednesday night. Can't work past

    Text - riddus Score hidden 18 hours ago Here's a secret to being a successful and respected manager- Your staff is not there to serve YOU, rather you are there to support the staff. Person can't make it to work on time- you help them arrange a ride or pick them up yourself. Person can't do the job correctly- you train them yourself. Work in the outdoors-you go on runs for cold drinks or hand warmers You lead by service and example and anyone who would tell you differently isn't doing it right. N
