As a smoker, I hate "smoke breaks are for smokers" rules. It's so unfair to the non-smokers. Either everyone gets a five minute break every hour, or no one does.
I've known worse ones. 15mins every hour... 2 hours off every flipping shift plus a lunch break the normal lunch break
We should rebrand it into "cope break" cuz that's what it really is.
As a chainsmoker, i cant wrap my head around why someone need 5mins to smoke...i can be done with a cig in under 2 mins (plus escalator ride) especially at work. i always laughed when i told my manager(retail) that i NEED a cig/going , and before he can argue i was back and always asked me when am i going 😂...a "smoke" break is just for LAZY employes an easy way of wanting to work properly
@@vacuousbard6410 I mean, isn't that what smoking is? Coping?
Smokers get the same breaks as everyone else...
Story 5: So my understanding is that they tried to subtly bully OP out of the workplace by not letting OP have an office, and it resulted in every leader not only being put in their place, but turning around and finally having a healthy relationship with her. S-tier president, I greatly respect her
"People don't quit jobs, they quit bad managers." So true...
At least 90% true. I've actually left 2 jobs, despite rather liking the job and my managers. The first one, I just... couldn't handle the summer rush. The rest of the year, I ROCKED that job, being in the top 3 easily, likely even number one at that location. But the stress of the summer rush was too much for me. Too busy for too long. I would buckle under the pressure. The second job, I had completely baseless concerns about a coworker. He'd never done anything to warrant my concerns, but I couldn't shake them. It was him or me, so, since he'd been there a while and I had barely started, I opted to just leave.
I totally agree. I was a mechanic at a gold mine. I was liked by all of my bosses, and even my boss's boss, BUT the head of HR had this thought process that all of the workers should kiss his butt. I have never had to kiss someone's butt to keep my job, so I did not bow to his demands. I waited until I had my 5 years in, and I had my retirement vested. Then, one day I smashed my finger twice in the same day. I have smashed my fingers before, but this time it kept me up all night, so I went in to have it checked to see if it was broken. You need to take a little better care of a broken finger vs a smashed finger. HR had written a policy that if you were injured at work, a representative of HR had to go to the Dr. with you. Since I did not do that, I was suppose to be written up for it.
I just walked off the job. When I went in to my exit interview with the head of HR I told him that he had better hope that I never get an incurable disease. He answered, "and why is that?" I replied, "if I have 3 weeks to live, you have 2!" I already had a job at another gold mine, but the HR people must all sleep in the same bed, so he would not process my paperwork. I had to leave town, but it was the best thing that ever happened. I got a Job as a field mechanic for a Caterpillar Dealer. My dream job. The only bad thing was that this dealer was in a big city in Southern Cali. I was a small town boy, and I just could not handle all of the people. I went back to the same small town in Nevada and went to work as a field mechanic for that Caterpillar Dealer. I even went back to that same mine to work on their Cat equipment from time to time.
The second time that I walked off of the job was at that second Cat dealer. My boss did not want me to work overtime, which was ok with me. I worked right up to quitting time to get a customer's machine done, but I left a mess out side. I told my boss that I would clean it up first thing tomorrow. I did clean it up, and was working on an up-date on another machine when he asked me if I had read my E-Mail. I said that I had not, so I went over to the terminal and read it. He had sent me a NASTY E-Mail about the mess that I left the night before, and had already cleaned up. I was soooooo mad, that I just went home. I thought about it for a couple of hours, then I went back to work, went into the Boss's office and gave him my key to the front door, and back gate, and told him that I quit. He said, "this is not what I wanted." I replied, "just WHAT did you want?" I then walked out. I am 76 years old now, and I have ZERO regrets for doing what I did. The old saying, "One door closes-----Another door opens," is so true.
The third story almost sounds like an ADA lawsuit IMHO. To force a deaf person to come in without their hearing aids and putting them on phone duty and chastising them when they can’t hear the ringer is bordering on cruel and unusual punishment for the humiliation factor. It almost feels like the monkeys running that place wanted OP to sit in the corner with a dunce cap on for having a health problem…if you call someone in and know they have a disability, force them to perform a function they do not have the ability to perform (instead of filing paperwork, answering emails, copying, etc.) it’s so far beyond stupid it strikes me as intentional.
Looks like they got fired for not following the pregnancy laws so he sounds like a terrible boss
From the sound of things the OP is not in the USA, ADA laws may not apply.
@@robertc.9503
True, tho doesnt hurt to say the laws that may protect someone if they come across the comment or to paint how bad this situation is.
Honestly though, if you're disabled and can't do your job like why the fuck are you working?? Just file for disability and stay the fuck home. She's not an asset to the company at that point
Story1: I was totally waiting to hear the GPS was triggered by a tornado.🤣
Same here, that would have been the icing on the e MC cake. "Well, you did say that we can't drive our vehicles during off hours, I was just complying...."
OR the truck was carried off by the tornado
@@nancyomalley6286 Oh yeah, that would have been even better.
@@nancyomalley6286Isn't that what @AGoodBrentDogs meant?
So was I to be fair, LOL. But then, if a tornado triggered it, I am thinking the house out have gone with the said truck.
It's amazing how the people who say "sue me" or "I'm going to sue you" as a first resort almost end up being the ones in the wrong.
Because they know they are in the wrong and hope that will deter people. After all saying "sue me" wouldn't make much sense if you know you did nothing wrong.
No nurse worth her degree would tell a person who's sick to come in to to work with vulnerable residents. I literally got the flu from one of my residents and stayed home an entire week. I was able to return to work no problem. It makes me so mad she wasn't fired.
Agreed, she should have been fired for it. Also blacklisted from trying to be hired by other Hospitals as well for her attitude.
Short staffing is why these types of people don't get fired.
@@SoManyRandomRamblings No kidding, I mean OP was clearly sick and she had the gall to tell them to come in anyway....
I wonder why didn't she ask doctor note to proof OP was sick, instead of jumped into conclusion that OP wanted to have a long weekend?
Ha! I worked as a CNA and later as an RN for over 2o years. Despite having it drummed into us during orientation and training that we aren't supposed to come in and work while we're sick, if you actually are sick and try to call out you are berated, guilty, and threatened to show up anyway. During a couple of flu outbreaks (I think once was H1N1) we even had the county health unit come and reinforce the seriousness of the flu outbreak and remind all levels of employees that we should not come in to work sick, or if our family members test positive. And of course we were yelled at and told how unreliable we were if we had to call out for illness
Men who stand in solidarity with women by wearing women's clothing they may not be entirely comfortable being seen in are my heroes.
I especially love it when they do it for the ladies, but decide they actually like it xD
Totally agree!
Right? Gold medal shit, that.
@@JanMaynz That's their reward for being heroic.
The boss is having to write down his questions as they can't hear... then berates them for not answering the phone. He's a special kind of human 😬
A special kind of stupid indeed.
Yeah. giving a hearing impaired employee a phone duty, is such a big brain energy.
Story 3 ear infections are no joke. My wife was hospitalized for 2 months because of one
As a kid, I had so many recurring ear infections, my GP jokes about my right ear canal being covered in speed bumps. My memory of my first day of school was me bawling in misery when my parents had to pick me up early. Apparently an abscess decided to flare up & it ruptured the next day.
Dude, that's not the hole you put it in, ffs.
They hurt a lot. I've had one and I rather have a migraine than an ear infection. I've had both and there is no comparison, an ear infection is much, much worse.
Yeah, they can spread and cause someone to have Encephalitis or Septicemia and other life threatening conditions. Sorry about your wife. Hope all ended up well for her.
I spent the first 6 months of my life in the pediatrics dept of a hospital as I was born with some kind of ear infection. My mom took lots of pictures of me there (1947). They were black and white ones that had to be developed. No instant gratification back then. I am partially deaf from that infection.
I loved the "smoke break" story, fun was had and the boss was an okay guy. Very refreshing.
Last story: while recovering from my c-section; I heard nurses gossip about a collegue, who was home sick with "just a cold, how lazy". That mindset is so problematic.
WTF? Story 1, my boss encouraged me to drive his marked vehicles on the weekends, he called it free advertising, crap I've even borrowed his trucks a few times for "personal use" just so he could write off the miles used on his business reports!
New Uniform Policy Story: That Boss is lucky none of the girls Documented his shenanigans and talked to the Health Department and OSHA about the New Uniforms and/or the State Department of Labour and a Lawyer about the Sexual Harassment and Illegal Retaliation (cutting the hours for those that turned his Advances down)...
I would have even if I'm a guy and not subject to his Harassment...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Story 5: I commend OP's brother for his self control. If "Mr. So-and-so" had said that to me about my sister, he'd have abruptly found himself lying on the floor surrounded by his own teeth...
Keeping his temperature let him exact a much sweeter revenge.
Story 3: Well, what was he expecting? A deaf person without hearing aids to magically hear again? It's bad enough he already is forcing a sick person to work, but this is extra dumb
wouldn't this also fall under legal action of going against ADA?
@@ryukaze7392 OP was using British-style English, so they're probably not in the USA and ADA wouldn't apply. Depending on what country they're in, they may or may not have a local equivalent.
@@robertc.9503 They should have their own ADA. There are disabled prople everywhere
Just remember, you can't fix stupid.
Boss: What do you mean you couldn't hear the phone, just read its lips!
OP: .......
Boss: ............
OP: .............................
Boss: Or ask it to use sign language.
OP: .....................................................................
Boss: I'm leaving now, get back to work.
That husband's boss actions on the GPS could be considered harassment and hostile work environment.
Getting berated for only driving 0.8 rods?
Sounds like a banty rooster of a "boss" to me. Sometimes MC is the only way to FORCE these type of bosses to change their STUPID rules. Many times I have covered my boss's butt when he made a blunder. I liked most of my bosses, but the ones that were ass-hats would eventually end up cutting their own throat. In my employment history, 100% of the idiot bosses ended up fired or quit.
Karen Boss: I won't pay you, sue me
OP: OK
Also OP: Sues Karen boss
OP again: Now what
Karen boss: 😮
OP's entiled to going to the State Labor Board and registering a complaint against the HR person at their business for their incompetency and knowing when people have disabilities. And paperwork is solid proof a major lawsuit.
Oh! You mean "entiled" as in has the "right to". I thought you were calling the OP entitled (the bad kind)
I lost most of my hearing in my right ear from an ear infection.... They're no joke.
Story 6 sounds more like ageism than negligence. The nurse assumed OP was a "lazy teen", and in that ignorant "kids these days" world view decided that they couldn't be genuinely sick.
it's ageism that resulted in negligence, which is usually how it goes.
I would have just asked for a doctor's note or something once they got back, at least if I were in the shoes of that "nurse" there. Glad she got canned though.
Forbidding someone to take a "smoke break" if they don't smoke but allowing smokers to take one is discrimination and highly illegal.
I know it's like they want you to start smoking.
That's how I started smoking as a teen, working in a fast food restaurant.
I'm a smoker, and I agree!
I thought OP was just not allowed to take breaks WITH the smokers, not forbidden to take breaks at all. Did I misunderstood ?
@robinb.905 yes unfortunately breaks during work in the united states were normalized mostly around nicotine addiction and withdrawal. An employee experiencing withdrawal is a bad employee and all you need to do is give them 15 min every 4 hours? Wow so easy- and usually the non smokers are expected to pick up the slack during those breaks. Many places will not let everyone take a break at once tho so it doesn't get too empty inside and keeps loitering low
Story 4: 'Sue me' is like asking someone to ruin your life since you know you're in the wrong.
It's an admittance that they know they're wrong but think you can't afford the time nor money to sue.
If the fool says, "Sue me!", just reply "Done deal." 😅
Sic your legal beagle on him. Sucks to be him. 😊
And if OP in that one had sent postcards to their coworkers including their lawyer's contact information, then that Lawyer would end up making a killing if OP wasn't the only one being stiffed on what they were owed.
Story 6: I worked a job serving at risk communities for a few years and it's incredible how many nurses I've met who were downright irresponsible in the carrying out of their duties. Like the group of nurses I recall telling patients that they personally don't get the flu shot "because it's govt mind control!"
I know a couple people that no longer work in health care due to that BS idiocy. Nice people, but they drank the Koolaid.
@@kstricl At least someone got it into their head that any worker in the medical field that has anti-vax beliefs are to be disqualified.
Story 6: I’m willing to bet that many of the residents cheered when they heard that the RN was suspended for her negligence. She sounds like the kind who make the nightmare nursing homes so bad
Story 6: I'm not really surprised at the attitude of the nurse. I had a very sweet friend named Kevin that was in a state ran nursing home and rehab center batting ALS, a horrible disease that takes over your body until you barely move your head let alone anything else. One day when I was visiting Kevin the director (and head of the center) in the same breath told me I would be an amazing nursing assistant and that I didn't have to cater to my friend's every whim. This man was into the 6th year of a battle that normally only takes 5 to die from and was only in control of his neck up and was losing that day by day. He was also a very large man. The staff tried their best I am sure but Kevin was treated poorly especially by that head lady. When the pandemic hit he moved back to Arizona and had gone through Nevada and was at the country concert where there was a mass shooting but was unable to get to the concert which probably saved his life the little that he had left. I only knew Kevin for a very short time but he was pretty great. RIP Kevin I'm glad you aren't in pain anymore. The rehab center was shut down after having so many health violations and safety concerns and that lady was fired!
Glad she got fired. I just hope she lost her licence on top of that.
Last story, the nurse answering the phone should have just said something like "ok, email us the doctor's note and we will find someone to work your shift". If it was faked, then there could be repercussions, but you don't just assume that someone is faking an illness to work, especially when they are claiming it is a bad enough illness that it would require a doctor's note.
I did call in sick for a job where I was faking it, but that boss sucked and I got fired from that job. It paid minimum wage and I would literally have to work more than an hour to be able to afford to go next door to Dunkin Donuts and buy a dozen donuts. Crappy managers suck.
I was 9 months pregnant and was due any day. I went into labor on a Thursday but was due to go on leave on the next day. I had called in to work when I went into labor. I was able to leave a message on agency's phone messaging zystem. My boss tried to fire me for not calling in at 8:30am. I advised my boss's boss that I was undergoing a Cesearian surgery at 8:30am. My doctor confirmed this. I also advised them that I had called and left a phone message that I was being admitted to the hospital and would be starting my pregnancy leave. My boss never listened to phone messages as required. So nothing happened to me but boss got fired.
I had my 4 kids at home alone and always worked up until they were born. When i was pregnant with my third, I was working at a hospital doing janitorial for the OR. I was getting dressed for work and bent down to tie my shoes and the babys head popped out! Haha. She was born literally 5 minutes later and i called my boss saying I couldn't come in because I had my baby (i was 40w+4d). My boss didn't believe me because I never called when I went into labor, just suddenly had a baby. He said I wasn't in the system as a patient in labor & delivery so I was lying. He said I would be fired if I didn't provide proof from a doctor. So I got dressed, had my husband drive me to the hospital, asked a doctor in the ER to come with me (he knew me as an employee), and I walked into my boss's office with a baby only 1 hour old ... Placenta still attached in an ice cream bucket. Told him I was putting in my 6 week notice so after maternity leave, I wouldn't be coming back. 🤷🏼♀️
When I applied for a well-known and despised logistics company they told up we needed to download an app to keep track of our positions, one person stud up and the speaker rudeness said "sit down I'm not done talking" to which he responds "well I am, I'm not letting you track my location on a device you don't own" and left, and 25 out of 30 prospects including myself followed suit
8 weeks without pay is basically code for "you have 2 months unpaid to find a new job." As it would take about 2 months to replace the position.
The boss in story 3 saw the IQ bell curve, shouted "WEEEEEE" and promptly slid down the low side... And apparently drug the HR lady down with him.
The last story really made me furious. Anyone working in a nursing home knows that the residents are at risk of dying from ANY ILLNESS that is going around. I myself was a resident of a nursing home for 3 months after I had a surgery that went wrong and after being there 3 weeks one of the resident care staff was out sick with COVID and exposed the residents to it before they realized they were sick and I caught it. I nearly died from it. Doctors said the only explanation for me surviving was pure determination and stubbornness. If you are sick even with just a common cold, DO NOT EXPOSE THE ELDERLY OR WEAK TO IT.
100%, I often have to go into aged care for contract work and they are strict as all hell about that.
No flu shot, no entry, no covid vaccines, no entry, RAT test on entry as well as temp checks.
My wife works as support staff at a private home. She absolutely loves the residents, so much so that, despite having an adverse reaction in the past, she didn't hesitate to get her flu shot. She took anti-histamines before hand to help prevent the reaction.
Phone story: OP could have sued his Boss for forcing him to work while sick and not wearing his Hearing Aids....
There's a word for policies like Story 2: it's called favoritism, I'd say discrimination but that's harder to swing with HR
It's a standalone coffee shop. They can't afford HR.
S1. The petty, the such delicious pettiness. I'd have stood watching the lovely hail too
Last story: that RN should've been fired and her license flagged. Completely unacceptable .
I spent a summer with a survey team in a small town in Colorado, in the 1960's. One sleazy drive-in owner picked the uniform AND the girls to wear it. The uniform was a dress that had a very large zipper up the front, with a HUGE ring on the zipper. Few girls worked there long! Deaf phone worker: The boss doesn't believe his workers. HE's never been deaf and can't understand it, so it doesn't exist. I had a boss who believed diabetes was all fake, because he'd never had it!
I have been an ASL interpreter since the 90s. The number of hearing people I’ve had to remind that deaf = can’t hear is truly astounding.
In response to the question posed in story 3,Dilbert said it best,stupidity rises to the top.
Well, air is lighter than grey matter, so it's only natural that air heads would float.
Story 2, at least in America could pretty easily be brought to a lawyer as a quid pro quo sexual harassment case, and in this case, likely multiple based on the number of people willing to sue. Even if they were not fired, propositioning to prevent hours from being cut is VERY damning.
Story 3:
OP did not “handle that wonderfully.” OP should have immediately called the department of labor, the board of health and human services and OSHA. What they were doing to OP is abhorrent and illegal.
Last story, that nurse definitely should have been fired. That's a wrongful death lawsuit waiting to happen!
My Dad was in a nursing home. When I went away for a week in October of '23, I didn't even visit him when I got back for just in case I had picked something up.
They appreciated it, but unfortunately, Dad had a stroke during that time. 😢 I visited him every day after that until he passed.
Oh man, this poor person with these ear infections. That sounds so so miserable and terrifying to be losing your hearing AND having to deal with a terrible boss.
Story 6: Yeah, that woman should've been fired and banned from ever working in healthcare again.
Sadly she and the others like her won't be...because of being short staffed.
Story 1. I'd be going off on the boss for this. He needs an attitude adjustment party
with an Attitude Adjustment, only one appointment is needed/required
Woot woot, love malicious compliance videos
Congratulations you're the first person to comment on this video
Story 5: I might have sacked the guy bullying OP
6:10 only 6 months? When I was at a pizza hut, we got a new manager who drove that place through the ground after 3 weeks, because she only put 3 on staff for the entire week for 3, the first week 6 out of 12 quit including the guy who had to work by himself on Friday, the next everyone including me left after not receiving a shift, and the third week it was audited by corporate and the district and general management was blacklisted
Now that's a president who deserves the title. Great leadership and responsibility in action.
On stories 3 and 4... I was going to comment that the OP in story 3 needed to get an employment lawyer as it sounds like her employer screwed up very, very badly and she has ample grounds for a law suit. Then story 4 is read.. where OP pursues their awful boss using the law and wins big time!!! (Yay Unions!) Lawyers can have a very bad reputation, but when you need one they are the most powerful weapon you can have.
The last story? The unpaid suspension sounds rather a lot like "we are investigating for further infractions, and not letting go just yet."
Why would the head of the security guards have any control over the cleaner's breaks?
Hail damaged truck story: Given that it took a few weeks for the policy to change, it either took that long for the repair bill to come in or a few other people pulled similar stunts.
Deaf story: Some people are idiots, not just bosses though. Back when I was in the Navy I was assigned as duty driver and had to take a shipmate to the on-base med facility due to him having breathing problems. In the car on the way there he pulled out a pack of cigarettes intending to smoke. I just told him: "You're having breathing problems and want to smoke? Really?" He put the cigarettes away.
Mr. So and so story: While I suspect even the company president might not have been able to fire him out of hand, after the office debacle it was pretty stupid of him to not change his attitude. Technology and businesses change, you may as well accept it and move on.
Pneumonia story: Suspended for 8 weeks is a pretty hefty smackdown. Especially when an action like that goes not only on your record with your company but may also be reported against your license. Up to a point though, I can understand the nurse's reaction. I've been a supervisor and had many call-offs at the last minute for holidays, weekends for "reasons" that were simply (IMO) BS. In this case you ask for a doctor's note and ask to have it emailed in. That should be enough. The photo is simply gravy.
That nurse somehow forgot to ask about doctor's note before jump to conclusion. That's her negligence. Her emotion get the better of her.
story 2: The only changes i would make would be after talking to the staff
I'm from the UK. My sister is profoundly deaf which means that she can't hear a thing. She has a cochlear implant but using it gives her frequent migraines. One day after talking to my sister (with my mum to interpret), the job centre wanted to stop her disability allowance, claiming that she could still get a job as she can write/type, the problem here is that my sister's vocabulary consists of broken English.
E.g. Wot, remmy (remember)
Story #2.5: I really don't understand what the boss was thinking when he banned OP from taking breaks with smokers, but then this happens. After OP punked his boss (and rightly so), the boss did a much more reasonable calculation in his mind and realized he hadn't understood what he had been thinking either when he had banned OP and just laughed it off.
That boss is going to be more successful and have happier employees if he keeps allowing good reasoning to win (even if it takes a couple of tries) :)
Last story - I agree that she should be fired. Can you imagine if OP had gone in to work on her say so and all the residents caught her infection and they died ? Not only would the RN be fired but she would no doubt be sued by the residents families AND be put in prison for negligent manslaughter !
Story 6: Where did that RN get her nursing certification? Sounds like she got the lucky box of Cracker Jack.
Welcome to the U.S. health system where they literally download the test banks and study the standardized test answers rather than studying medicine.
@@SoManyRandomRamblings There's a reason why it's ranked the worst in the OECD.
@@JamesDavy2009 exactly
IN the early 90s I was just out of college and working my first job. The building added a smoking lounge (separate filtration) to our floor to accommodate smokers! Well people would take a break multiple times a day and hang out in the lounge. So when my supervisor complained that my friend and I (non-smokers) were 'taking too many breaks' I went to HR and asked if we had to take up smoking to get reasonable breaks! 🤣🤣 Never heard any more about it.
1) Good for OP's DH.
2) Kudos to the staff for sticking together. Sad this AH ruined the business in only 6mo.
3) I love this.
4) Sorry for OP to have these health issues, but happy for their malicious compliance of stupid boss and stupid HR's demand.
5) So happy OP took the boss's advice and got an attorney and made them pay.
6) Well done by a good boss. How nice the sibling was the one who heard what the AH thought and the boss making him apologize. OP is a lot more magnanimous that I would be.
7) It's good OP's parents took them to the ER. Too bad the RN on duty is so awful, but good for OP's dad for dealing with this appropriately.
Story 3 sounds like the boss was on a serious power trip, and only wanted to hear the words "Yes, sir".
I loved the first story, as it’s the sort of thing that I’d do, seeing as how the manager had made it clear to OP, not to move the company vehicle an inch on the weekend 😁😁😁
The last story, as an RN myself, she's the type of nurse that makes people think all nurses are bad!! 8 weeks unpaid suspension isn't long enough!!
Story 6: I had pneumonia what I was 10, and it is no joke. Antibiotics, breathing vapors, shots every few days. I don't know how much easier it's become to deal with since then, if at all, but how incompetent does an RN need to be to not consider the real risk.
Story 3: HR is DEFINITELY worse. Their job is to protect the company from liability, and that HR rep made dumb decisions every step of the way.
For Story 3: I don't know if OP intentionally follow that but I don't think that's any good handling. He should just screw it all and tend to his ears first. He definitely can link the damage to his ears to the boss order previously.
Story 3 reminded me of a time I was working at a petrol station (gas station). I was already disabled and walked with sticks. I developed a bad case of Cellulitis in both of my legs over the two days I was off and ended up being confined to bed and contacted my work place to let them know I wouldn’t be in to do my night shifts.
One of the bosses obviously didn’t get my memo, and phoned me after 11pm to ask why I wasn’t in work. I told him I was ill with Cellulitis in my legs and that it was too painful to even stand up. He offered to send a taxi to pick me up because there was no one else to cover my shift !
I just told him if it’s too painful for me to stand, how am I supposed to walk out to the taxi in the first place ? He was kind of pleading with me until I sent him a photo of my legs - they were bright red and had swelled to double their normal size - he ended up doing that 8 hour shift himself and then his own shift straight afterwards ! Poor man !😂
Listening like always on my drive home from work! Have a great day everyone!
😂🤣😂🤣😂 the coffee shop story took me TF out. I love those boys.
Boss in 4 was likely this. "I OWN THE BUSINESS! My lawyers will inform him the contract is what I say!". Likely then, when contacted, his lawyers asked him WTH, with him blathering about being OWNER. Then was flat out told court won't care who owns it.
Last story: I agree completely! She should’ve been fired. Fast food work would’ve been a safer option for someone like that.
I once had a deaf co-worker who thought she was being "descriminated" against because she DIDN'T get an office phone job.
#2 You should have gotten a lawyer for harassment of having a disability.
I seriously don't understand how you keep the quality of content up and make a video daily....
Story number 2: Every break in existence at a company is a result of the increase in smoker numbers through the yesrs since the invention of cigarettes. Smoke breaks started to become a thing as more and more works picked up the habit just to get a "break." The only other break created was for a different, far more necessary habit...eating.
I remember 20yrs ago when I worked at McDonald's we had cigarette breaks but those who didn't smoke got screwed out of those types of breaks. So eventually to make it equal we all came up with the Bubble Gum Breaks😂 they lasted 5min or so, just as long as a cigarette break.😁🤣🤣
Story 3: "Okay, boss, just so everyone here is clear on what you are asking: You.... the boss of this call center... where answering phones is the core function of the job.... want me, a deaf person, WHO CANNOT HEAR WITHOUT SPECIAL EQUIPMENT... to work in said call center even when said equipment cannot be utilized? One more time because I don't think you're understanding what you are asking, YOU WANT A DEAF PERSON TO ANSWER PHONES????"
People don’t quit bad jobs, they quit bad bosses.
Omg we are always staying tuned waiting for your next video, my son is 4 Months and believe me when I tell you he listens to your videos, he knows your voice as I used to binge your videos when I was pregnant, we laughed together at these insane Karens😅😅😅 Love you and fluff always from South Africa ❤
Couldn't move the truck, huh? Ha, ha, ha, good one. When we turned up for cover turns due to staff shortages, but not in Full Uniform, but in jeans or t-shirts. Our bosses always threatened, well, i 'm not going to book you on, to which we retorted with, "Well i am the emergency spare cover train driver, so who's going to cover this turn as i am the cover man?" They had to cow-tow and we got our uniform short fall within the week (UK)
Hearing aid story I would’ve gotten the doctor to write a report saying that you standing out in the cold is what contributed to your ear infection since it started then that way you could get workers comp
How do managers become managers? Well, as my dad would say, "The cream rises to the top, but so does the scum."
13:35 OP proved this proverb wrong = "Having your cake and eating it too"
You said you wonder how bosses got to be bosses in the first place. An old corollary to Murphy's law says,"
In any organization rises to his highest level of incompetence."
It's called the Peter Principle.
I've heard it colorfully called "Eff up, move up".
The Peter Principle. Not Murphy's law.
Murphy's law is "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"
That one may be the Peter Principle, but there's a lot more to Murphy's Law besides just the basic statement. There's whole sections and corollaries that go with the basic Law statement, like "Mother nature always sides with the hidden flaw" and "Mother Nature is a b*tch", to name 2.@@SoManyRandomRamblings
@@kingsknightfour yes...there is an entire poster...but it would be too long yo list them all rather than just pointing out yours is no where in that long list.
Every story here left me with a smile on my face. Like this 😁 Thanks guys! ❤
Negligent Nurse Story: I believe the Suspension was an appropriate Punishment IF this was her First Offense, though if I were her Boss, I'd also have Demoted her in addition to the 8 week Suspension...
If however this was NOT her First Offense, then she should have been Fired For Cause...
Storey 3: asking a deaf person who has ear infections and can't wear their hearing aids to answer phones is like asking a person with broken glasses to watch security monitors.
I'd go out start the truck, let it idle for 2 minutes, then turn it off. Do that at least twice a day just to mess with the boss and make the unit look defective. And if he keeps call me into the office every time I'd file a grievance that I'm being harassed.
My sister is Sister of District nursing sisters. She's been in that role for about 25 years. Very recently after a long absence, they brought back the Queens Nurse title for those deserving of it. In the very first year of them reinstating it, my sister received the accolade along with lots of other nurses in the UK. It doesn't mean that she's paid any more, it doesn't grant you any special privileges, it's just an acknowledgement of you dedication to your profession. As a nurse, my sister is amazing, as my little sister, she's even more amazing. I cannot believe a RN being so unprofessional. One of the things that makes nurses so good is their compassion. I think the RN in this story was lucky to keep their job. No doubt, her boss showed her compassion. I just hope she was put straight back on bed-pan cleaning duties after her suspension. that would bring her back down to earth.
Half the work of being a boss is knowing who to pick for watch work.
Always a good time hearing these stories! Keep it up! ^^
Story 2:
So if you’re giving yourself cancer, you get rewarded with extra breaks, got it!
Story one: "All Hail Starscream!" comes to mind. Well... We know that he's kinda an incompetent leader that he is.
😂😂😂😂
Story two: The new owner would be under hot coffee... uhm... hot water if the new dress code was enforced a little longer.
😂😂
The only way you could argue that the boss from the last story had a point would be a looong history of people calling in "sick" just to party and sleep of their hangover...
But still, not like that.
#2 Want a Hooters cafe, get a gay bar. 😅
Story 2: Honestly, I'm surprised that the sleaziness didn't get the new owner in trouble earlier, what with him trying to get people to come home with him in exchange for more shifts.
Story 3: Peak stupidity from the manager: he has to write down what he says because OP can't hear him and he still doesn't realize that OP is unable to handle duties that require HEARING. SMH
As a nurse working in a hospital in Safety Harbor, Florida for 17 years, I rarely got to take a lunch break away from our ICU/CCU unit as I was the charge nurse and I never got to take those 15 minute breaks in the morning and afternoon (or evening and the early am when I did nights) because things were just too hectic and people could literally die if you stepped away.
Ah but the smokers ALWAYS took all of their breaks!
I made up for it after I gave birth to my son and then my daughter because I was nursing them and did so for 8 months for my son and 13 months for my daughter and that meant every 4 hours no matter what I was pumping at work!
2 month suspension without pay? That could easily bankrupt some people and make them lose their home.
Story 2 :
I think he was preventing a young guy from catching a smoking addiction
But when he found out that it wasn't gonna happen he let it slide
I always hated it that the smokers were allowed to leave their workplace for freaking fifteen minutes every hour, yet it still counted as work time, not a break, so they could go home at the same hours non-smokers did.
Last story, I was working with the elderly in a small hospital, I had a flu (pre covid) and I needed a doctors certificate so I saw the onsite doctor and I was told "You know how to wash your hands" then ushered out.
