Spiteful employee spent two years learning spanish to hear what his coworkers were saying about him during lunch and was confused when he found out what it was: 'I wanted to crawl under my desk and evaporate.They weren't mocking me'

It’s funny to think that anyone around you could be living a double life without you knowing. It’s funny and somewhat paranoid. This fake remote worker is directly harming no one by keeping his lie alive; the only ones being harmed seem to be him, his dirty conscience, and his savings.

Man pretends to have a remote job for two years while he has actually been unemployed: 'I’ve somehow maintained this entire fake identity of being a “busy remote worker.” I schedule fake meetings on my calendar so i have an out for certain family events.'

Growing up is, in part, understanding that just because some rules are ridiculous, it doesn’t mean we should turn the world upside down to change them. A fight about leaving five minutes early from your job shouldn’t prompt an extensive moral debate. Maybe it’s not okay to think in should-or-shouldn’t terms, in the end, this is just my opinion.

Manager tells very efficient employee that she sould stop leaving five minutes early because "optics matter": 'I asked if there was a problem with my output and he said no. asked if i was missing anything and he said no. just said it doesn't look good'

It’s funny how managers sometimes become these angry beasts that nobody can satisfy. The position itself might demand that of somebody. Some handle it better than others, of course, and in my opinion, the job only brings good and bad personality traits you ALREADY HAD into the light. So if you become an irrational monster, you were already one to begin with.

Angry manager states that server is expected to always arrive 30 minutes before scheduled work time and that is not considered extra-hours: '2 families needs to be sat down and I as the main server wasn’t here ”on time“ to attend them'
