Thanks for watching guys ;)
I love the CEO without a pass card. The employees wouldn’t let him in, not realising who he was, but, instead of kicking up a drink, he thanks the employee for doing the right thing and gives them a bonus.
Honestly, a lot of bosses would fire that employee for "not doing what they're told". When its correct procedure to protect company property and IP.
@@MasterGhostf the very sad truth right there.
@@formulafish1536 There was a situation like in my country, but the ceo is a high ranking military officer and the pass card guy was a recruit. He got court-martialed
@@MariusThePaladin yeah high ranking military treats recruits like dog shit, anywhere in the world
I had a similar situation but I was pretty new and like the head of corporate didn't have any identification on him and we werent introduced yet so I wouldn't let him pass, but we laugh about it now
That CEO who wasn't let in by their employees did the right thing! Retaining and rewarding people who give a shit goes a LONG way 👍
Indeed. The worker made it clear to the CEO that they took company safety very seriously, and was rewarded for their effort
I was yelled/miffled at because I let one of our guys in when he rang the bell and said he lost his door badge.
Turned out he "lost" it when he was forced to turn it in when he was fired that morning.
That's what happens when office doesn't communicate with us peons in the warehouse because of a tee time.
[Oh, yeah. The guy killed everyone inside. Killed me TWICE!]
I was afraid it was going to go the usual route and the employee doing the right thing gets fired.

'let me speak to your manager'
'no, get out'
just beautiful
Yup, I shed a single teardrop of joy just imagining it
The sheer power in that single sentence was truly something to behold.
This is so much more powerful than "I am the manager" because
1. You are implying you are not the manager
2. You are still telling them to fuck off

In a bank, an irate Karen client was yelling at a security guard. The bank manager came in defense of the guard by saying "maam, if you have a complaint, you take that to me. Don't yell at my guards. Your concern is not their jobs. And may I also remind you that they have a gun. If they shoot you out of your unreasonableness, that's out of my hands"
The horror on the client's face was priceless.
Nice!
Bloody danggg!! 🔥🔥
And the darwin award goes too...
DANG
The fact that everyone here seems okay about her yelling being reason enough to get shot is horrifying.

Once made a joke about me hating my job at work. Supervisor overheard and asked me "well do you want to keep your job?" I said no and left. She didn't know I put my 2 weeks in 2 weeks ago. She didn't know it was my last day.
This is probably the best thing I’ve read all day. Underrated as heck
Well, not much they can do to you when you're paid until that point and there's like 2 hours before you sign off.
Cancelling your last paycheck is an idiotic and unprofessional move (no doubt illegal too).
That's a great one.
The part where she said "I trust you, you can use your judgement and toss anybody out who talks to you like that" is soooo good. You don't know how nice it is to hear such words being said.
Your boss trusts you? Man, I'd've loved to have such a boss.

Was hired when i was 19 for overnight shifts at a 24hr gas station because the manager heard my voice answering machine say "My phones fucked up right now, if you need to get ahold of me and you got this, just call again", and shes like "this is the guy we need to tell people to go fuck themselves." And from that point forward, I did all of my duties of the gas station, dealt with all the 2am drunks trying to buy alcohol past 2am and told them to fuck off, then dealt with any customers the managers had in the mornings who were being assholes. Basically my job was "clean the store, stock the store, run the register, and if asked in a certain voice, come tell a customer to fuck off a bridge."
That was basically my approach when I had a bunch of people “under” me. Fast forward 17 years, I decide “no this isn’t what I want” and volunteer for layoff. Then? Covid (I have baaaaaad timing).
Know what saved me? Former employees who moved on to better things. Respect starts from the actions of the one with power. I’m under no illusions that I didn’t get special treatment.
I keep getting in jobs where I am either training people or have people help me. It's SO GREAT having a helper. Or 2. 3 is a few too many.

I really don't understand treating people so badly. When I was a consultant, I made the round of coffees just like everyone else. Also, the receptionist was unable to leave her desk (obviously) so I would make her one, too. The agency rep came in one day and later remarked how great it was that one of the highest paid people in the company was making coffee for the receptionist. One of the managers at one point started trying to make trouble for me and the universal response to his lies was "No, this is Mike we're talking about." Integrity doesn't always cover the bill but it's always solid currency.

The case with the German company being acquired by the American company is not an example of cultural ignorance; it is an example of the HR executive council not doing their job. If the company acquires another company that is located in a different jurisdiction (even if it's just in the next town over), the _first_ thing that happens must be an audit to make sure there will not be compliance issues with existing policy. Any new policies _must_ be reviewed before implementation to ensure there will not be compliance issues. Avoiding compliance issues prevents the company from landing in legal trouble; this is one of the core functions of HR.
Agreed, but SOMEBODY or SOME DEPARTMENT must still shoulder cultural ignorance as part of their overall ineptitude.
It is also an example of that you are not a worker in the US, but a slave.
All Hail to capitalism. Or at least that perverted abomination of capitalism that is propagated in the US.
When BASF (German) bought Engelhard (US), they kept standard US HR policy in the US division. "We do what we CAN, not what we SHOULD". - American Capitalism.
@@invader_zim3033 A slave? That attitude is beyond bullshit. When you start your own business and have to hire, train, and pay employees THEN come back and tell us about being a worker/slave. When you have taken a second mortgage on your house to get enough working capital to continue operation for another quarter THEN come back and tell us about being a worker/slave. In your imaginary world jobs just magically materialize.
@@nemo227 So, if you go look at a map you'll see a big continent between Russia and the US. It's called Europe. In Europe is a country called Germany.

Somehow, despite having to give workers holidays, benefits, a minimum wage, a contract and even voting seats on the board, German companies manage to make good profits.
My sister once got a temporary job doing graphic design stuff for a film festival. I guess the people who ran it didn't specify any rules about submission formats, so they needed someone to help convert a bunch of different video files into something they could use. So my sister suggested me, and I ended up getting a job converting and burning these files to DVDs. So my sister brings me a hard drive they gave her full of videos and I spent hours converting files and burning them to DVDs like they asked. This happened over the course of two days. I gave my sister the DVDs from the first day so she could bring them to the woman who ran the festival.
The next day, my sister called me while she was at a meeting with this woman. She told me the woman was complaining that the DVDs were lower quality than the original HD files (which is to be expected since DVDs are standard definition and interlaced), and was refusing to pay me for my time because of this, even though I did exactly as they asked. I didn't have a fast computer at the time, so I had spent nearly a full day burning these DVDs, so naturally, I was pissed. I was actually in the middle of burning more DVDs during this call, so I had a pile of DVDs that hadn't been delivered yet on my desk, so I said loud enough for this woman to hear over the phone, "I'm just gonna keep the rest and she can go fuck herself, and you can tell her I said that."
She didn't have time to find somebody else, so she ended up paying me for the DVDs.
I would later meet other people who have worked with that woman and they told me they can't stand her and she has a history of making people do more than what they agreed to and trying to get out of paying them. My sister has endless complaints about her based on the few days she worked for her, and is glad that I'm far less tolerant of bullshit than she is and stood up to her.
Nice seeing you around.
TFW some moron tries to extort someone who has means to leverage and blackmail...
They actually wanted you to convert it to a different hd format, Like MP4/h264 and burn FILES on DVD, not convert it to low quality MPEG SD DVD
@@pteppig No, they specifically asked for a DVD that could play on a standard DVD player, not a DVD ROM. Believe me, if these people were even slightly tech-savvy, they wouldn't have needed me.
Well I’m glad everything worked out for you in the end, your sis deserved better.
The one with the mom who stopped mid "not in my house" is forgivable. Once her brain caught up with the habit she stopped
I guess everybody agree on this, you know?
The day I turned 18 I came home from work with a lit cigar in my mouth.
My mom looks at me, angry, and opens her mouth to yell - before settling down and saying, "Really? Is this how we're going to start?"
I haven't bought a cigar in 20+ years. 😂
I still dislike anyone who pulls the, "You cannot _ in my house!" to their kids. If they know how to say those words properly, it's either their fault or somebody else's. The only time I would ever do something like that is with smoking, because I have a personal hatred towards it. Even then, I'd tell my kids they can do whatever the hell they want once they turn 21, but I simply would appreciate it if they did it out of my home.
Its honestly hilarious.
That one made me laugh out loud lol
had a Karen walk up to me and asked me about some tech equipment in the shop, I told her I don't work here and that I'm a customer.
she storm off and gets the manager of the store and _demands_ that i get fired. I've never seen someone so confused in my life.
Manager look at me and and says "who, what? who are you" and turns to the woman and says "i can't fire someone who doesn't work for me, I've never seen this kid in my life." and just.. walked away
I've never had a Karen go in on me like you described but there used to be a Hastings where I lived years ago and I would go in there early in the morning to spend some of my nights earnings. I was usually asked where such and such was because I wore a collared t-shirt and black pants. Since I had been going in there daily for months at a time I was usually better at directing customers than the employees were. Man I miss that place I wish they didn't go under.
Dont know why people insist on the "yes, you do work here". If they tell you they dont work there, just go find another employee. Even if they do work there, its much easier to just forget about it and go get a different person to help you. Much faster too.
@@majorphysics3669 God was a big miser while distributing sense to people!
I used to work retail and it's soul crushing in many ways. But one time someone asked me why we carried one product but not another that would comment it, I replied "because that would make sense." They didn't get the joke and looked at me like was morphing into a lizard before their eyes.

I was an American transfer student in a German school (my mom is German so we often go to visit our family there, but if you are in Germany for longer than the allowed time you must go to school). So one day in science class, we had to give presentations on wildlife in english, and this really shy boy gets up and right away the teacher is a bitch to him by giving him a C because his partner was sick and couldn’t make it. So when she was further harassing him throughout his presentation, i decided to give her a taste of her own medicine (cause I didn’t give a living crap about wether or not I failed the class, i was only there for a few weeks). The boy was saying something about caterpillars and when she tried to correct him on his pronunciation it went a little like this
Bitchy Teacher: “that’s wrong *again* , it’s pronounced CATER pillar” (Cay-ter-pill-ahr)
Boy: **holding back tears cause this is like the 20th time he’s been interrupted**
Me: “ *actually* it’s pronounced caterpillar” (cat-er-pill-er)
Teacher: **outraged shock**
Teacher: **flustered** “W-well, we learned it like this so-“
Me: “still the wrong pronunciation miss”
Class: **laughter**
Hehe, i felt bad for the poor kid and that teacher clearly never had a student stand up to her like that, it was totally worth the look on her face 😙✌️
Germany: It says here you are going to be here for two weeks.
Me: Yeah, I'm on vacation.

Damn this is cringey
My middle school English teacher used to yell at us for saying "ain't" because at that time it wasn't in the dictionary. One day she said, "Ain't ain't a word.". Apparently nobody caught her mistake except myself. I walked up to her desk while the rest of the class was busy and I said to her, "Isn't.". She looked at me confused and I said in more detail, "Ain't ISN'T a word.". She told me not to point out her mistake to any of the other kids. Not the first or last time I corrected a teacher. The funniest part was that the next year Webster put the word "ain't" into the dictionary.

I worked as a manager at a retail pharmacy for almost two years, and during that time we bought out the only other pharmacy in town. I was low on staff that night and was running the register when a particularly upset man came in cussing and throwing a fit about how much our pharmacy sucked. He came to me and ranted, but I explained to him how we were handling the transition, asked for patience and assured him we were doing everything we could to have it go as smoothly as possible. He wasn't having any of it and got upset at me for not giving into his harrassment, and we went to the pharmacy and called for management to complain.
He saw me arrive and say, "Hello, how may I help?"
He stammered and said, "I, I just wanted to tell you, everything I just told you..."
"Oh, alright then, carry on!"

I work at the current (2020) US presidents hotel. He was visiting and I was pulled from my housekeeping position to work the front door and verify guest IDs matched the names on verified hotel guest list.
This hotel is 5 star. Not cheap. Very high class guest.
Example: no “couches” in the rooms. Only “sofas”
Anyways had a guest try to bypass me and walk in the door.
I called them back into my line. Couldn’t verify their name on the official list. Guest says room is registered under wife’s name. I said you need to have your wife go to front desk and register you as a guest and you cannot go in until she does that.

This one reminds of when I let my father know he had lost his power over me. He always used the old “live under my roof, live by my rules” to control me. Was supposed to be home by midnight, let him know where I was, even ask his permission to go out , wasn’t allowed to move out until I married etc. I married at 23 and moved into my husband’s flat. A week after I got a phone call from my father demanding to know where I had been all day as he tried calling several times. When I told him that we had gone out for a day trip, he told me that I hadn’t let him know or had asked his permission to go out. I wished I could have seen his face when I told him that I no longer lived under his roof and so did not have to live by his rules.

when my brother was just out of HS he worked at a pizza place, and his former manager was quitting. when he left, he recommended his buddy to take over, (that's not how it works), but my brother was the assistant manager and they needed someone already trained. One day, the former manager came in and just straight up said "give me a free pizza". my brother refused as he was now a paying customer (sometimes employees can take the ones ppl don't pick up). The former manager said they have a deal with their buddy and he still gets free pizza. To which my brother said that their buddy is just an employee but he is the manager, so get out.
9:38 I've been there. My uncle was having me pay rent, not for a bedroom, but to sleep in the cramped attic in between the Christmas and Halloween decorations. Then one day when I got off work early I cracked a joke about how I suddenly had free time that evening to go see a movie, since the entire crew I was part of had been sent home due to the incoming truck being delayed somewhere out of state. The next day I went in to work and was laid off due to "not enough work to justify a full crew" or some such tripe. Turned out, my uncle called my boss and told him that I'd been watching movies on my phone at work. Despite the fact that I had been hounding my boss for work to do to try and be as useful as possible, specifically to AVOID something like this. After that, my uncle spent the next month barging into the attic to mock my attempts at getting a job, amongst similar rude remarks, such as how *awful* it'll be for me to be sleeping on the streets.
He tried to take my car from me, but that was 100% purchased by me, under my name, worth nothing tying it to him. (He did manage to get me to miss a job interview by telling one of my cousins they could borrow my car, and stealing my keys from me. Despite the fact that my insurance didn't cover other drivers, AND the fact that I'd specifically TOLD the entire household that I had a job interview.)
He tried to pull the same "give me your bank account!" bullshit after I'd finished packing up all my stuff (my maternal grandfather had offered to put my stuff in storage while I was looking for a job, and after about 2 months of sleeping in my car my grandpa made me crash at his place until I found my feet. I love my grandpa.)
It should surprise no one that it wasn't long before my aunt and cousins were practically begging me to come back for various trivial reasons, because surprise surprise, when an abuser loses their prey, they find new prey. Screw them. They treated me like crap but suddenly need me to be their meat shield again once I'm gone? No thanks.
are you better now?
Whether friends or family are abusive or not, you never tell them how much you make, where you work, or details about what you do. This isn't some fucking utopia; the post-pandemic, globally warmed planet is a hellhole, so _you take care of number one._ Folks must do the grunt work for that information.

Man, I never get tired of hearing how companies fail so hard when US companies to overseas. Happened with Walmart too, with that story about how they tried those overly enthusiastic daily start-up meetings where everyone sings a song and claps their hands like preschoolers. The Europeans just looked at the manager in disgust and no one participated. They dropped that pretty quick. Haven't seen it done in the US in a long while since about that time either, at least not out on the floor where customers can see. lmao
If that was done in the US, I would probably leave? It would be weird.
I had to do that when I worked at Walmart circa 10 years ago. Was the absolute stupidest thing. If you want people to hate coming to work for you, by all means, treat them like children.
I worked for WalMart twice
once at a DC around '18
again at a store in late '19 early '20

Dr Pepper here in Australia was considered one of the worst drinks ever sold. "Cough mixture", "you could strip rust off ships with this".... too artificial for us.

Had something vaguely similar to the last story. Went to a group interview and we were told by the person doing the interview “we treat employees first over customers, cause if you’re not having a good day we know that will effect your customer service.” And I was thinking that’s pretty cool finally an employee first company. Then I went for the second interview one on one with the store manager who said “No that’s wrong it’s always customer first.” Then when I told him I had a nickname I liked to be called by he said “I won’t call anyone anything unless they’ve earned it.” And I’m thinking earn my own nickname? I stood up and told him that since he obviously doesn’t respect anyone he’s interviewing I have no desire to work at his store while he is the boss.

So will you shut the hell up so we can all get on with our day?" Only time I ever heard him swear. Best justice I've ever seen served.

me when i argue with dad. sometimes im right but i never win
If you live at home, you can be right, but you will never win.
@@fjorland_norsk3996 because parents always win, even if their fucking idiots
Yeah, sounds like my dad. It's not just in the home though, it's with anyone that can't leave him unemployed. He only tries to be genuinely persuasive if you're a threat to his income (which he works in a customer service position, so a lot of people are potential threats). I know so many people who do this, but he acts like a perfectly legitimate answer isn't valid when it comes to decision making just to crush all opposition. I'm glad I didn't inherit this behavior. In fact, I may owe my unfailing persuasion and organizational skills to my difficult father. I never would have gotten anything beyond the bare necessities growing up if I couldn't justify and really sell it to that stubborn son of bitch, and watching my friends get all sorts of things without even asking was huge incentive.
I didn't get birthdays unless I thoroughly planned them out and budgeted them, sent out invitations 2 weeks in advance, then convinced my dad of how I know I got the best price for supplies and my own gifts (that's right no surprises (Edit: except the ones from my friends of course)) and letting him check it over so his ego was satisfied. Sometimes, I even had to take into account how much gas money would be used for my birthday, and the earliest I remember having to do that was around age 5. By age 12, I was planning all of our family gatherings. To this day, friends, relatives, and business partners always ask me to plan, organize, and budget all their events because they know I forget nothing. I've become a master of knowing when to yield, when to hold my ground, and when to advance for anything persuasive, and it has helped me in job interviews, grants, and business meetings. As much as it stresses me out when I'm supposed to visit my father, I have never received a more valuable gift than my upbringing.

I am a very quiet person, I dont have much to say and that's just how I am. My mother on the other hand is the loudest, most talkative person I know. Well our relationship has never really been the best but she doesnt seem to register that. One lovely day while my mother was visiting me she was going on and on about my brother who was almost arrested for domestic assault on my grandmother and teenage cousin. I just wanted her to shut up and stop making excuses and blahs blahs blahs. I had a terrible day and already told her I did not want to talk about this anymore and get dragged into it as i was a neutral party. But she just wouldnt stop talking, so I snapped, I told her to shut the f*ck up and if she couldn't then she needed to leave. This happened to highly upset her considering I've only really stood up to her maybe twice in my whole life. She started wailing about how I dont love her and how horrible I am as a daughter saying how she can have me kicked out of my aunts house (where I was living at the time) for being such a horrible person. But at that point I was done, i wasnt taking anything else off her so i told her exactly how i felt. All the things I'd normally say to a therapist i said to her, telling her i didnt want to be around her because of her attitude and actions. Threatened to report her to her insurance company for putting someone as her spouse when they weren't married or living together. Finally let her know that I may be quiet but i listen very carefully and if she ever had the audacity to call me a horrible person i would let EVERYONE know just who the horrible one really was. I was done and I no longer cared if I hurt her feelings

I’m proud of you for standing up to someone whom you’ve seen as an authoritative figure you’re entire life so far. You’re a very courageous person, remember that.
I used to work at Office Max. Some lady came in and tried to use our internet to do some legal something or rather for her daughter (forgive the lack of details, it’s been years). Anyway, we closed at 9, and we all went home at 9.30, but of course you can’t leave when someone is still in the store. So me and my manager, who I was buddies with asked her politely to leave but by 9.45 we were both done and we used stronger language. Nothing disrespectful, but very stern. She chewed us out about how she had a deadline to meet or she was gonna get sued and lose her hour or something (again, can’t remember details).
I said, Ma’am, there’s a public library down the street. You’re welcome to work there. But leaving your legal issues to the last minute is your problem, not mine. Please leave the store so we can close because I want to go home and see my wife. If you refuse we will call the police because we do not tolerate trespassing.
When I was in the Army, deployed, I was attached to 5thh group special forces. SF falls under a completely different command system than regular Army, which means they do not listen to regular Army soldiers. While on a FOB I was walking with these two cool SF guys, real chill dudes, and pass one of my commanders in a different unit. The two failed to salute, and neither did I, it was against policy. The officer, a captain, got upset and demanded they salute. This caused the two SF guys to chew him out about being deployed and in a FOB and basically told him to GTFO or die. The captain literally fell backwards from the aggressiveness lmao, hilarious.
What does FOB mean?

I never understood asking for a full refund due to a single hair.
Whenever it happens, I usually just tell the server that one of the chef’s may need a new hairnet, scoop the part out, and eat.
I mean it’s just a hair; so long as they shower regularly, there’s no real issue.
That’s not saying I wouldn’t accept a free dessert if offered, but I wouldn’t send my meal back. I’m hungry.
Not like I’ll get sick from a single strand of hair. FTD’s (follicle transmitted diseases) aren’t a thing.
For me, it depends on where the food comes from.
A 4-star restaurant where everything's expensive and you found a hair in your pasta? Politely request your dish changed, it's pretty un-fancy to keep eating it after ever everyone saw you take it off, specially when considering you're likely in a high-class event or reunion with someone.
A hair inside a corndog from a street food stall? Take it off and move on, it ain't worth shaming yourself over a corndog.
@@hermesthegreek5247 Sure, but on the flip-side, there being hair in your food is indicative of a general lackadaisical approach to hygiene and sanitation with regards to that food. It would be concerning if the understanding is that you are not being served a petri dish. However, I personally believe that even such unsavory dishes should be written off for liability and offered to the homeless.
@Kai Dwyer I'm going to politely refute that statement by saying this: a long hair can definitely slip through a hairnet on occasion, mainly due to it just somehow snaking its way out of one of the net holes. Some hairnet brands do not keep short hairs (say, 3/4" or shorter) contained. There's even the possibility that a hair simply dislodged from the shirt of the employee. Fun fact: the average human head sheds between 50 and 100 hairs a day. Can't keep em all contained.
I'd be more concerned about restaurant employees not washing their hands frequently and wearing gloves to handle food properly. That's worse than a hair on my plate.
It's likely the customers hair given the story....
I've heard variations of the "No admittance" without proper authorization, I don't car who you are. Story since my childhood. I was born in a USAF Hospital.
Corporal guarding the gate wants ID on all in a car. Only the General doesn't have it. Colonel yells at the Corporal, but won't directly order the admittance. Driving away, Colonel apologized, but General stated, "Have that Sargent come see me when relieved." Colonel, "He's a Coporal, Sir." General, "He's was a Corporal when we drove up, he"s a Sargent now."

There was one time I was visiting my mother, a couple years ago, pre-Covid, and the floor was a bit messy. I volunteered to sweep it up, since she was playing with my nieces at the time. While I was sweeping, she told me to get under the chair. And there was stuff in the corner. Oh, and make sure you move the trashcan out of the way for anything behind it.
In the split second between her last sentence and the next one she was opening her mouth to say, I remembered that I was 25 years old, I don't live there anymore, and I drove there. So, I straightened up, looked her in the eye, and dropped the broom on the floor. It's was one of the heavier brooms, so the crack of wood on the floor was enough to bring silence down on the whole room as I kept staring at my mother. Finally, I said, "I'm a guest here. If you wanted the floor cleaned in a specific way, then you should have done it before I arrived." I saw her face actually going red for a second, before I picked the broom back up, carried it to the corner, and set it up there, before walking to my bag of clean clothes I'd brought to change into after staying the night, and left, turning off my phone on the way to my car, and drove two hours back home.
It was satisfying to completely shut down my mother for the first time in my life, and I've made it my mission not to take any more of her shit.

This new Colonel shows up at our office to complain about his paperwork being sent back and starts quoting regulations to the old civilian guy working that section. Heh, the guy stands up, jabs his finger in the Colonel's chest and says "Boy, don't you quote the regs to me, I was the one who WROTE those regs." Que the Colonel going to the General to complain, only to get a stern talking to, made to go buy a box of donuts, then return and apologize to the old guy. He'd worked in that unit for twenty-two years in the army, then retired and got a job as a civilian consultant. And as this was Space Command and he LITERALLY was there writing the regs during the founding of NASA he had a lot of clout.
Me and the other Specialist just kept our heads ducked down behind our cubicles while trying to hold in our giggles as we watched a Colonel grovel before someone who looked like someone's grumpy grandpa.

Worked freelance as a cinematographer one summer: A colleague of my dad's from India said he'd pay me to make short cooking videos of his mother, who apparently is a famous cook in India. "Awesome! Never done cooking videos before!" I thought. I get to his house with camera gear and audio recorder all prepped and find out that he isn't even present to direct me on what to record, so I have to wing it. Thankfully, his wife is there and she helps me and she's amazing. Great people person and good with direction. I recorded her doing voice over for the videos too. I finished the first 4 of 5 videos I shot and then my summer semester ended at my college and I had to gear up for class-- (I was a directing student-- huge workload and very little free time). I had told him in advance that if we couldn't get these videos all done by the end of August, my time would be spotty. He said "no problem!" and that he would upload one video per week. I have this in writing via email.
He uploaded them ALL AT ONCE and then proceeded to demand I finish editing the last one. I explained that my editing time was limited now that I was back in school, and even though they are only 5-10 minute videos, they can take hours to edit and render. He berated me, threatened me with not paying me, etc. I hauled my overworked ass into the editing lab one Saturday morning and rush-cut the last video and sent it to him (Not my best work, but he wanted it done NOW). He complained, said my work ethic is horrible, I'm lazy, etc. when he wasn't even fucking there to tell me what he wanted the videos to look like. I tell him "Fine! I'm sorry you aren't pleased with my work. I can send you the RAW footage and you can edit it if you'd prefer! Just send me a hard drive to upload all 200GB of footage to."
He uploaded the video anyway and never responded. He didn't pay me for that last video, but I'm fine knowing he was too chicken-shit to threaten me again, knowing how much work goes into that.

I work at an upscale apartment building. I had changed out of my uniform and had on a hoodie with the hood up as it was cold while I waited for the guy relieving me. Earlier, I kicked out a woman who was trying to scam her way into the building by claiming she was “Canadian royalty.” She saw me waiting outside but didnt recognize me, so I waited to see if she’d mention how I unceremoniously booted her out. We were idly chatting, and she told me about the “rude concierge who cursed her out and kicked her out of the building she lived in.” I pulled off my hood and she went completely silent, walking off into the night.
the story at 09:53 makes me realise that working in the US sounds utterly horrific.
Actually it does sound horrible. When I first started working in Germany my brother who works in the US asked me if I had health insurance.. it is a legal requirement in Germany to have health insurance!
And it is! Vacations aren’t required, even when we get them they aren’t paid more often than not. About 20% of the population is on track to not making a living wage. And on top of it all, no paternity leave and maternity leave isn’t paid.
Actually, not every US company is horrible and they don't treat their employees like garbage. There are great employers, bad employers and those somewhere in the middle. Many companies offer health insurance while others don't. So, stop generalizing all US companies. And, no, I don't own my own business just work for one.

I live in a somewhat small country, Where IT Professionals (back then) knew eachother basically. I had this job in a callcenter, i basically had no boss.

Guys comes in on monday and wants to change my schedule. I say, nope. He demands to change it.. i said.. nope.. fire me if you want.

"We refused and told him he should go into his room"
Not sure if this counts considering that most of these stories are about job-related cases, but I thought that I would share anyway.
Let's just say that I have a toxic ex. I saw a TikTok recently which showcased EXACTLY what her personality is so I'm just going to quote it, she has the "I'm sorry that I gaslight you, and I know that I manipulate you, but it's honestly because I have a little thing called depression!!! Have you ever heard of it?? YEAH, you have NO sympathy for people, AT ALL".
So going off of that, she was the type of person to ask people to do what she wanted and expect them to do it. We had a project that we were doing and we both had different ideas of what the project should be based around (it was a while ago, but the point is that she was "subtly" mad at me for a while before and after it was finished). We had 3 friend groups intermingled with this (most of which were friends with me) and some of who we were both mutual friends with. But the thing is that she either had beef with some of my friends or they just flat out didn't like her. So when I presented my idea, of course, people took my side because they're my friends and tbh we all mutually agreed on my idea before she piped her head in about her idea. She started acting REALLY depressed and almost started crying and I was feeling really uncomfortable abt the situation (cuz at the time she was my gf and I cared abt her feelings), well, my friends basically made sure I was on task throughout the project and told me not to worry about her. Then when it came time to assign roles for the project she flat out refused to do it unless they did her idea. LET ME TELL YOU, I almost CRIED when not a single one of them made the move to even acknowledge her comment. She repeated it again, but looked embarrassed and spoke louder bc she thought we didn't hear her, to which one of my old friends (ex-bf actually who is still protective of me despite not being his gf anymore) turned to her and said that they didn't care and that they weren't going to pull her weight if she fell behind, so she should stop complaining and get along with her portion before they went to the teacher in charge and made it so that her grade wouldn't count against the group (basically she would be graded separately and if she didn't comply, she was going to fail while the rest of us got a united grade because we were actually contributing). I never felt MORE confident in that moment. I freaking love them
on my first day of work, i had to deal with a Karen who complained about having an extra nugget in her sons happy meal. I said "why would you complain about an extra nugget? it means you dont have to buy another meal for a while. now scram." the look on her face was legendary

This and the "I don't know, I'm not paid to have an opinion" one.
My favorite "You have no power" moment was 30 days AFTER I left the Navy. The Chief I was under for my last 2 months was an asshole. He knew I was being chaptered out and even knew the reason yet still made my life Hell. However, when he went on leave he did not know that I was going to have a DD214 while he was on leave because my ETS date was set after he left for leave for 2 months. This means he thought I was still in the service and therefore under his thumb. I still had base access due to a VA clinic being on the base and I lived only 20 minutes away from base. The rest of the command under him hated him so they agreed to let me pull a prank by not informing him I had already ETS. I decided to show up to PT formation in my PT uniform, but had a full beard and let my hair grow out. I hid the PT gear under civilian clothes to get past the gate and said I had a VA appointment, which I did. I show up to formation and let Chief chew me out for being out of regs. He reminds me that when he files UCMJ charges against me my Honorable Discharge will be downgraded to General per the NJP agreement I signed with the CO. I tell him to go fuck himself and told him everything everyone hated about him (I did not name drop to protect others but it felt good being their voice). He sends me to talk to Master Chief. As soon as Master Chief sees me, he asks me why am I in PT gear when I'm now a civilian. I show him Chief's texts. Master Chief chewed Chief out so badly for being such a lax leader that he did not know when his sailors left the service and allowed me to decide how to punish Chief and told Chief whatever I said was to be interpreted as an order from Master Chief himself. I made Chief do pushups like crazy, call everyone to formation and apologize to me in front of them and to send up packets for EVERYONE under him to receive meritorious promotions. Master Chief approved most of the packets. Every packet Master Chief sent up got the approval from the CO. One of them was a Petty Officer 1st class who had more time in service than Chief but had not picked up rank yet. By being promoted to Chief, he took command from idiot Chief. This effectively made idiot chief powerless within the unit.
Omg I can finally post something. There was this customer harassing my co worker/ friend because he had gotten a free item and gave her a coupon for 2 dollars off and after the order she refused to give him the 2 dollars and called her manager ( I am a cashier working a bagger shift that day) I felt bad for her so I stepped in and abruptly told him that he can do that and he told me to shut my mouth because I’m a low life bagger. My manager finally got to the register and she told him the same thing but he didn’t know that my manager was a manager so he said he was going to the service desk to find someone who actually knew how to do their fucking job. Low and behold when he got to the service desk who should be there waiting for him with a smug grin but my manager. She immediately told him she can’t give him the 2 dollars and that she would be calling security if he didn’t leave for harassing me and the other cashier.
TLDR: my manager is a fucking boss

GRAB A SODA. IT MAKES YOU SEE FASTER
My story has a more literal use of “You have no power here.” My brother and I have played LEGOs with each other for years. It is an entire world with complex lore, religion, factions, etc. We used to play downstairs but now we play upstairs. Back when we played downstairs, we often each tried to outdo the other for most stupidly powerful character. There where figures who could flood cities with lava or wipe out armies with the wave of their hand. This led to some ridiculous gimmicks and overpowered abilities. When we were forced to move upstairs, we began to focus more on an overall plot rather than individual strength. Fast forward to a few years later and there is an actual government in place. However, several groups had been growing in power secretly. One of these groups in particular was led by an evil scientist from back downstairs. He wasn’t too overpowered on his own, but he brought back two things my brother had forgotten about. One: he was responsible for the biological creation of someone who sets the record for fastest non-teleporting speed. Two: there was an old gimmick of a particular magical crystal that granted the user immunity to all magic attacks. This was most prominently used for an insanely strong villain from back at the start of the creation of our LEGO world. As I said, he forgot about this. I spent months building up to the moment where his forces struck. He had hooked up the magic crystals to a cannon he had spent a long time researching and building. It was able to fire a beam that created a large field where it struck. This field rendered everything inside unable to use magic. Since all my brother’s really strong characters used magic to get to where they were, they quite literally had no power there. Also the bio-engineered fast person was not fast due to magic, it was wings. Within that bubble, they were practically unstoppable. The only thing that took them down was when the fractured remains of the government got the FREAKING GOD OF DESTRUCTION to help take them out. Funny thing is, about a week ago, I found the box that contained the original #1 villain who used those crystals in the first place. Guess what I did with him: redesigned him to look even cooler and reintroduced him to the plot to start his faction anew.
Sorry it was so long, but I needed to supply context.

Honestly that's a little disturbing. The "Land of the free and home of the brave" just seems to be more and more of a joke.
As an American (unfortunately) it has always been a joke my friend
It depends on who you are as a person and where you live in the land of the free. If you live in a big city, you are treated like shit more often than not. If you live in a smaller place, but not so small that everyone knows everyone, you can get a nice job, and you can do what you want and stand up for yourself. Being smart about how you conduct yourself but still hardworking goes a long way here in the states too.
@@sixfootdworf9545 To be fair you don't have much option when the whole company that contracted you gets bought by another company with little to no consideration for its workers. It has nothing to do with who he is or where he lived, it's one of those things you just can't control in life.
Especially if you’re different or disabled in any way. It’s dire. “Land of the free (if you’re rich), home of the terrified to get sick”
I'm pretty sure some kind of moment like this is about to happen with me. I recently bought a house from a contractor. The... uh... Company who works for the contractor decided to put hardwood stairs (worth 3000$) despite us asking not to. They made a mistake, of course. And since they're already there, they can't rip the stairs out without breaking parts of the walls and flooring. Now, I assume they're gonna want us to pay a part of it, but ... In reality, they have no power here. We have a contract that says exactly what we're paying for and how much. 3000$ stairs for free?
...
Maybe. We'll see how this plays out I guess!

Lot of people who are starting in the work force need to watch this video.
You are not just another worker bee to take shit from either customers OR your management.
The stories about management backing up their subordinates are the best.
I’m still in school. We had a substitute teacher. She yells at the class full volume to shut up. One person said respect the drip Karen. Then the class proceeded to get louder and drown out the sub
Was she being a Karen or were your class of clowns talking loud
@@dFuZeJoker No context given, but considering their response and the average discipline of students with substitute teachers, i'd say it's the latter.
Mine was when i visited my friend at his small hut and i was so excited to have a long gaming session with him only to find out there is no electricity in the hut
"you can't call from here, beside youre trespassing now"
I love it
When one of the office guys on the previous company I drove for (I'm a truck driver) asked me to drive a nightshift right after driving a day shift. I had worked for 9 hours (not counting breaks so it adds up to around 10 hours with breaks) and then asked me to drive the nightshift which rarely takes less than 9h 30min since the entire trip, back and forth to my destination was 434km and it takes roughly 5h 30min-6h to get there since the first 10km are 50 and 70km/h zones and then you only have 440hp to pull 50+tons up steep ass hills and that damn Gothenburg Hill (in Jönköping) is so fucking tedious to drive up because it's a 7-8% incline, 130m high and 2km long. So I called the other office guy and he said that this wasn't ok and that he won't allow me to drive because of EU-s rules about driving, working and resting. He then talked to the office guy #1 and told him that he needs to keep better track of when and where the 25 or so drivers are working and driving.
The rules that drivers have to follow about work hours is for safety. Tired drivers are not a good thing. You essentially have a giant wrecking ball.
New CEO: let me in. I'm the CEO.
Employee: show me your pass card. Or you are not entering.
Days later, employee gets bonus. I'm glad to see a CEO understands the importance of security.
That story could have gone one of two ways and I am glad it went that it.
The other way: "Fuck you, I am the CEO. You're fired."
@@MrIHaveASword That's just inviting disaster. Any rando that dressed up nicely could say they're the CEO and barge in. At that point being fired saves you from getting involved in a heist.
I get the feeling the new CEO was testing employees to see who did and didn't take their job seriously.
"A prime example of cultural ignorance."
More like "A prime example that the United States does not breed healthy work culture."
Just before the lockdown hit my sister still lived with our parents and so did I. At the same time she had her 3yo living with us as well, and i had my partner staying over for a few weeks (both my sister and i are in our early twenties). So my partner stuggles to sleep due to chronic pain even when she has sleeping pills. So during the weekends my sisters 3yo would wake up at 5am in the morning and proceed to play loudly on his toddler drum set or would swing on the passage gate right outside my bedrom door and repeatedly bang it against the wall which would wake both myself and my partner up( often my partner would have only fallen asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning) so she understandingly complained (now i know children and energetic and so on so i was trying to be understanding of my sister raising her son on her own, but i did not like how she just let him swinging on gates and windows making a noise). One day we were all in the living room except my partner who was at work. And i kindly asked if my sister could just be mindful and keep her son in the room and just keep the noise down until around 8ish in the morning (thats not too unreasonable) to which my sister told me that my partner can just leave and stop visiting... my dad then very quickly shut her up by telling her its not her house so she doesnt dictate who can stay or is banned from the house and that my request is fair. There after my partner was left in peace. I have never been more proud of my dad putting my entitled sister in her place.
You're the older sibling I take it? Man it is nice when the ol' parents temporarily lose their blindness to the youngest one's shortcomings.
To some extent, I think I wore my parents out and my sister is the result. Or maybe that's self-centered. Chicken or the egg?
I used to work on my grandpa business and it was a crap show cause they would come with the "but the family business needs help!" To get away with things, but that's another story.
For a while I had to get on finances to keep calling clients that were late on their payment and inform for them to either pay up or it would go to the bank (which would strain their names and credit).
So there was this one company who had almost 5k late from many payments. Their argument was that we had delivered the wrong package (when in truth it was them who sent wrong and then got mad when the client refused to accept and pay for it) so they wanted to make us deliver the right package for free as compensation. It got to a point we were having too many issues with their packages and refusal to pay.
So on a final straw, we said for them to either pay the debt or we wouldn't have any other package delivered.
The woman I had to inform went NUTS. She acted collected but I could sense anger in her voice. Half a hour later she sent an e-mail DEMANDING a refund for the wrong delivery, a free delivery for right package, discounts on the debt and future deliveries or she would be either pressing charges or calling police on us.
I politely replied I had no power or way to do that and while that all could be negotiated with my superiors, it was their orders to do as I had informed her.
Well, she didnt like that. I received a name calling me dozens of things, accusing me of taking the money to myself and even sleeping around the office, with my boss and other superiors and that she wouldn't be making any other deal if not her demands.
Here's the thing, she didn't know I was the owner granddaughter, and while my grandfather doesn't give a fuck about that stuff, the other superiors did. Because they were my uncles and my immediate superior/boss was no one other than my father. Who also happened to be good friends with the owner of the company she worked at (which was the only reason we were still doing business with them).
So my dad read the e-mail and let's just say you dont want my father angry. He's a sweetheart, but don't get the wrong side.
My father printed the e-mail, made copies, sent to the superiors and his friend (the owner) as well his partsners and superiors of the woman and stated "for this reason we won't be doing any more business. All the packages will be refused and the only one allowed to speak about the debt is (owner) directly to me. All other calls and contact will be rightfully ignored and cut to avoid any further harassment from your company. Any other way, we will be pressing charges for harassment as the lawyer is a call away"
Never heard of the woman again. They paid their debt within a week and the guy apologized to my father in every contact they had. He wanted to apologize to me too but my father forbid him to try contact me or anyone else to avoid any sugar coating.
We quit the company few years ago and to this day I never seen my father so angry to the point of making the whole business follow his order (they did continued to deliver packages after the debt was cleared and they never had a late payment again, but even that needed some talk of my uncles and grandpa to make him "unban" his friend company.
The time my bully of a boss got fired for messing with another employee on the administrative floor. God was watching, my dudes!
God wasn't watching, the admins were.
So before Covid hit the world, there was this one kid in my class who would always sit really strangely and uncomfortably, and this teacher, (let's call her Mrs. Apple) would say, "This isn't your mother's house, sit properly!" Come Online Classes we were all in Mrs.
Apple's meeting, and this madlad was sitting in his usual position, to which the
Mrs. Apple says her usual line, "This isn't your mother's house, sit like a normal human being!" *This absolute Chad continues to call his mom with his mic on and introduces his mom to the teacher and says, "Hi, this is my mom, and I'm currently in her house! This is where I live, and will be spending all my future meetings in!"* The rest of the class is laughing their asses off, while Mrs. Apple has this embarrassed look on her face. You could tell he had planned to do that from the start of Online Classes, and in all honesty, I cannot blame him.
The completely satifying moment when you can give an F-bomb inside an earful to a karen knowing you're recently fired.
8:11 is a god tier moment
