I love the first post, I love seeing “the boss” taking care of their employees to the point of paying hospital bills and basically in the trenches with their employees. Kudos to that guy and his family name.
You can tell that didn't happen in the United States, though. Very rarely will a business owner go to bat for their employees like that here. We're a country of business owners complaining "nobody wants to work any more."
*First OP:* This story reminds me of that scene in Pretty Woman where Vivian was turned away by the snooty boutique owners. Then later in the movie, she returned and rubbed their faces that they had made a " _Big_ mistake! Big! _Huge_ !" I like reading/hearing stories like these.
Or like in Selena where the dress shop lady was all snooty and wouldn't help them, then when Selena's fans saw her in the store, the snooty lady tried to actually help her, but Selena tells her basically too bad so sad lol.
It's clearly fake, it's one of two story formats that always make it to the top, if even quarter of these were ture there wouldn't be a single functioning business left on the planet.
If I’m gonna have a spoiled boss I’d at least like to have a Boss like OP in the first story. A boss that cares, treats right, and fights for their employees Edit: I mean spoiled in the good way (or at least what I think is the good way). He took his well off upbringing, made something of himself, and didn’t become a douchebag that treats their employees like crap
In that first story, when all those big wigs came into town I'd do the same to them. Leave them waiting for a few hours then have the janitor come out (with cleaning cart) and inform them that I'm way too busy & important to deal with such a small company as theirs.
That first story: I can’t imagine how many people (your average person without a lot of means) have been screwed by this company’s cruelty. They needed to go.
re story 1: Is this guy LITERAL BATMAN? HELLO? A boss of a large company with a well-known family name personally settling issues for an employee? MORE OF THIS PLEASE
@@Ikajo I don't read comics. Sorry. Edit: But, wait, I thought Reed Richards was more focused on being a scientist, so much so that it causes massive problems for the people around him. What's his connection to the Baxter Building?
@@andredunbar3773 He owns it, I think. I learned most stuff about the comics from New Rockstar. I've tried reading some comics but I never know where to start.
I have massive respect for OP in the first story. Covering her bill must have meant the world to her, but OP clearly had the means so it didn't change much for them. This is how you build employee loyalty and a good work environment. Happy employees work better and make happier customers. No wonder OP's bussinesses are successful.
It couldn't have been cheap, either. Looking up how much hysterectomies cost in America, it adds up anywhere between $31,000-49,000 depending on what kind of procedure was done. I can imagine how distraught the employee was to get that bill.
Right? And the whole BS about they only inform big clients on such changes. You can't just change a contract and on top of that not even inform about it.
I assume it's extremely illegal, however it's actually cheaper for him to just pay the bill outright than take them to court over it... which is exactly what they're counting on. However, he found a way to keep it from happening again, to all branches of his business; also his extended family, apparently. That's about a 10/10 on the "Whoops Scale."
It happens. Back when I had a reduction mammaplasty, I did everything necessary to make sure my insurance would cover it until they finally approved. Then I had my surgery, and months later got a notice from my insurance company that they were "investigating" the claim because they deemed it a "pre-existing condition". At around that time, the Affordable Care Act was passed and companies were prohibited from going after people like me who needed medical procedures for pre-existing conditions, so they stopped hounding me for it. Thanks, Obama!
It likely isn't legal, but insurance companies will try to weasel out of paying whenever they can. It costs them no money to decline every claim (maybe costs good will, but if the claimant is powerless, they will weigh any loss of goodwill against tens of thousands of dollars (in this case) to pay the claim. I have seen many insurance companies not even take a claim seriously until a lawsuit is filed against them.
probably isn't but if a country is corrupt enough a lawsuit probably isn't worth their while. If they're ok with applying retroactive policies on people going out a full year who knows what else they can get away with
Story 3: I've seen this sort of scam a few times on Reddit stories. What's worse is that sometimes, the scammer actually HAD the money the whole time! It's scummy behavior
@@grimmjaw02 The general rule is don't screw with experts in their own field, you'll have a bad day of it :X Although if you're a decent person you don't screw with anyone, period, no reasons necessary :D
Sadly, for some reason, statistically, almost all scammers have the money. Theft is a wealthy man's sport, 9/10 times. Something about resources and power ruins people's ethics.
Hey, Slash, I really enjoyed the stories today. By the way that guy who installed that machine for 7000 pounds, that's actually the equivalent of $8400 dollars in American dollars or at $1.20 per British pound. For that company to try to stiff him out of $8400 means that they're a dishonorable bunch to deal with or that company is in bad financial shape.
So the original amount of money they was going to stiff me was about £2.4k. Installation I was being paid about £300 an hour. People in the thread were asking me why I didn't ask for money up front, and to be honest, the thought of them stiffing me wasn't even in a possibility in my mind. The reason it jumped up to £7k was because I knew the installation from my old company was £8k, so asking for more than that would have made them look elsewhere. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
OP from the first story is a boss. Not only is he a kind individual willing to pay for his employees medical bill, when the insurance fell through but he destroyed that business who looked down on the little people. Good on OP.
Don't mess with an Engineer.... After listening to this one I had to laugh. I did field service for a long time in the automation controls field. A competitor of the company I worked for had a machine that used our controls, not their own. Their machine went down and no matter what they did they couldn't get it to run. They didn't want to call us, a competitor, and tried working with the machine's builder in another city. They reloaded the program, changed out all of the controls hardware and still could not get the machine to run. So they bit the bullet and called us. I got the call and went to the site. When I got there the receptionist said "Oh they are waiting for you." and I signed in and was lead back to the machine. The building was silent as this machine produced what was needed for everything else and everyone else to work. The head of the company was standing there in his suit and started to bitch me out for them being down for two weeks. I replied you just called us and those two weeks are not our fault. I said I need an electrician and an operator. I had my computer on my shoulder and my jacket was still zipped up. I was lead back to the machine where I asked what was going on. They said the machine just won't run. So I asked the operator to try and make anything run on the machine. She started by pressing a button and told me a pump should have started. The electrician already had a computer hooked up to the machine, and a set of electrical prints. I asked him to show me the pump in the schematics, he did. From there I got an address to look up in the program, then asked the operator to press the button. Looking at the program everything needed was met accept one item. I searched back two steps to an input that was not on. I grabbed the prints, paged back to the input and saw what it was. Seven different things were wired to it and all seven needed to be made. So I asked for the first one, it was good, and so on. When I got to the last one, a switch, I found it and looked back at the contacts, they were open. The switch was the "Off - Run" selector switch. It was in the "Off" position .... for the last two weeks. I switched into "Run" and told the operator to try starting the machine. She pressed the Start button and the machine came to life churning out parts. The plant went silent as I was at the machine for about a minute. The VP motioned for the electrician to come over to him. I was standing at the machine, coat still on, and my computer still hanging off my shoulder, when the electrician came back and said the VP was embarrassed and asked for me to go. As I was walking back out I had to pass him and all the big wigs. He then asked me what I did. I replied "I just turned the machine on". I was back at the receptionist signing out 5 minutes after walking in the building. The customer got a 4 hour minimum bill. That one always makes me laugh.
Story one that is the kind of person who understands that just because they have wealth and alot of fortune both inherited and earned, (from my understanding) doesnt make you entitled to be a dick. The fact that he went to bat for that employee and when it didnt pan out he went and settled the bill for her, That is a boss who understands the human value and if i ever am a boss it's how i hope to be
First story : ... "we altered our terms, pray we don't change them further" comes to mind when the insurance company said they changed their thing a month prior, without warning and that it was a 12 month retrospect (how is this legal!?). Goes to show how much of a scam insurance is.
It's clearly fake, it's one of two story formats that always make it to the top, if even quarter of these were ture there wouldn't be a single functioning business left on the planet.
i remember there was a kind of a similar enough story that made the news in my country... there was a bussinessman that was abducted for something like 20-40 days and the news made his name popular. And there was a second pretty huge CEO with a very similar family name (like a single extra letter, that is fully pronounced though, so the two names cna be easily ddifferentiated) so two of the CEOs truck drivers get into an accident in some internal shop transfer of something and their insurance denies them coverage because they are insured only for client deliveries or some bulshit of that sort, and whilst the vehicle damages where probably something like 10k, the medical bill of one of the guy to not lose his arm went into half a million (he either had to be transported to another country for surgery or a team had to be rbought in or sth costly that i do not remember). anyways the insurance does not accept to pay and the big very popular company's (in the country) name isnt the one that is visible, it is some generic transport and logistics name that is like a subsidiary and nobody knows. apparently the CEO tries to get it solved through legal, financial or whatever else and he fails. he then goes in person and they tell him "oh, because you are famous you think you can come here and buly us into making half a million in payments? go f* yourself" and kick him out. that was the point he got a news crew involved to wire him with a hidden camera for his next visit. (htere were some middle points that i do not remember) he goes in wired and tells them "do you know who i am?" and they say they do, because his family name is well known... etc.. and they again tell him that they are kicking him out. he call in his laywer who apparrently has prepared a big lawsuit for breach of contract, because apparently they didn't have a good enough reason to deny the payment. And then the lawyer starts pulling out lawsuit after lawsuit from all the other companies that operate under the same mama-company of no-trust in the services due to proven ineffectiveness they start going crazy. Next day the insurance company EU CEO is sent to the country because they suddenly realise that its not the "famous" bussinessman who probably has like 30 or 50 emplyees, but its the other one. The guy that has the biggest toy megastores in the country, that has expanded that to like another 10 countries and te corporate offices are in this country, with so so many delivery and logistic companies and port and rail and so many other connected companies... Only the toy chain emplayes like 2500 people, but all together he has approximately 36000 people insured, and over 1000 vehicles, and over 200 propertie insured with them. apparently the hit from just loosing them as a client was forcing the isnureance branch in our conuntry to close down, but the lawsuit which was asking for all the active contracts to be refunded, and some fines and so many other things, made a top 15 european insurance (or at least i think they were this big) to pull out of 20% of europe to cut its losses. and then the CEO went on some media tour to bash them even more...
That first story made me angry. Legally, an insurance company cannot approve a procedure and then change the rules and deny it after it has happened. That is fraud and they could have been sued into oblivion. Can't believe she had to pay for the surgery herself. That is completely illegal.
I wish there was more “revengy-ness” to the seniors apartment story. Yeah, that OP basically cost that company an account, but I wish there was more to it.
I love that first OP. They sound like a fantastic boss who really wants the best for their employees. I always feel so lucky to have coworkers and managers like this too.
First story shows you how low some insurance companies are. They only cared about the OP’s employees until they heard the OP’s last name. The ending to the story was perfect.
The first story reminded me of something I learned about Jim Henson, from back when he was shooting the first Muppet Show. His friend and one of the founding members of the muppet’s Jerry Nelson was having a problem with their insurance provider. Jerry’s daughter Christine had cystic fibrosis, and after years of treatments, he’d been informed by their provider that they would no longer cover her. Jim wouldn’t stand for that and changed providers for his entire company. When Jerry tried to thank him, Jim just kind of shrugged and said “That’s what insurance companies are for”. He also granted a wish for Christine, who had wanted to be an actress. You can see her in a scene with her dad in The Great Muppet Caper, where the two are walking in the park together.
Employee: could you please pay my insurrace? Insurrance: no Boss: so you have chosen death, and also hippity hoppity, your building is now my propierty.
Second story: I can tell even one self can install a TV system. I did the one at my home by myself. All you need is an aerial, as much coaxial cable you think you'll need, a knife, some heads for the cable and you just put everything together, if your TV is digital you don't need a digital box, which isn't hard to install either.
Honestly, even if OP dealing with that insurance company was a small business with no other connections he could still have ruined their day. If he got what was said here in writing I imagine an e-mail or two is all that would be required to convince the "big customers" not to work with an insurance company that can and will choose to retroactively change their contract to just not pay out a claim whenever is convenient for them without even informing their customers... I imagine in pretty much any country, taking this issue to court would get you this statement in writing allowing you to send those e-mails and a payout (at minimum cost of the treatment).
I wish I could somehow meet the 1rst story's poster and tell him he is an icon, I love him, if he was my boss I would die for him- just for seeing him help my coworker with cancer like that. I have never heard of a manager that supportive. Imagine how joyful he made his employer? What an absolute king. I love him and I don't even know him.
That first story is absolutely fantastic ! To buy your former insurance provider’s building after their company has gone bust must be a ‘smack in the mouth’ to their former employees ! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That first story is *exactly* why I never buy into the "people love their insurance and they love their freedom!" argument against M4A. Literally NO ONE loves their insurance. No one, no matter how many politicians and insurance companies will tell you that you do. You don't love your insurance. What you'd love is to have medical needs like that employee actually covered, without having the rug pulled out from under you months later when the company decides they don't feel like covering the costs for the insurance that you already pay way too much for. If anyone tries to tell you that people love their insurance and love having the "freedom" to choose which insurance plan will HOPEFULLY screw them over the least... don't. It's a scam and cases like that story show you why - you don't love your insurance and your insurance doesn't give a toss about you. So glad that OP mercilessly tore them down, the world is better off with one less greedy company ruining people's lives. We'd be better off if all medical insurance companies went the way of the dodo and we just adapted to a universal healthcare system.

And this is the story of how OP got a super loyal employee, who is highly unlikely to leave... I laughed at the last story. That is brilliant revenge. Beautiful!
Re:Getting revenge on the cable company I don't think there is a able company anywhere on Earth that people absolutely love! Good on OP for getting revenge on the cable company!
I love the original poster from the first story, you can tell that they weren't spoiled by their ivory tower upbringing, and actually use that sort of thing to do a lot of good! Gotta love it when you see arrogant and self righteous people get their just desserts.
Insurance company : We don't deal with the likes of you! OP : I have a card, a special, beautifull card. The UNO reverse card. BEHOLD THY POWER YA PEASANTS!
That first story should be a reminder to everyone just how priveleged and powerful the 1% are. How easy their lives are and how easily they can crush even major corporations, but they only do so to benefit themselves and their close acquaintances.

That last story could've only been better if Jake threatened to sue OP. You know, because he wouldn't be able to make a case without incriminating himself! 😂
the first story doesn't make any sense. If they only informed their large clients, wouldn't OP have been informed, seeing how his family's business empire is so big that them leaving put the insurance company at risk of closing?
Either the differing nature of those businesses created a system issue or, more likely, the insurance company was lying and they're just a bunch of scumbags
I wanna call bs on the first story, because there’s no way an *insurance company* would explicitly ADMIT TO DISCRIMINATION, let alone THAT EASILY. Edit: not to mention *contract fraud.* I know that it is for a FACT illegal to change the terms of service and enforce new rules retroactively, ESPECIALLY like this.
That first story is beautiful. I was worried he was just gonna switch insurances and we wouldn't see what the company thought of that. So glad they went to do it in person.
I would have loved if he and his family had used their connections in the business world (even before covid) to spread the word about the insurance company ... There would have most likely been a tidal wave of cancellations...
that first story is the exact opposite of half of the Malicious Compliance stories MC stories: HAHA I, THE BOSS, WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR YOU! The First Story: Oh, sure. *Goes to company *they do nothing *RUNS THEM OUT OF BUSINESS
Don't be surprised if other insurances companies, small or big, had done that BS. You want to meet evil?, go to a insurance company. Props to OP for being such a great employer, it's sure a fresh air
Last story. Serves him right to have to hunt down each of those guys. If he had payed them like he was supposed to, he never would have been in that situation. Good for them!
Got travel insurance with ok rates (this was a condition of my visa in the US). Got sick, submitted a claim. The bill comes back 4 times higher. After 8 (!!!) months of back and forth with disgustingly rude customer service, after involving the Attorney General in my state, I finally got an answer of why: they had an addenda to their contract, which was AN ENTIRE CONTRACT BUT WITH DIFFERENT NUMBERS. Of course, they failed to mention the addenda when we were discussing the rates. How on Earth is this legal? In the end, I had to pay only two times the amount, not four, "as a courtesy". I lived in Russia for 20 years. The US insurance company called IMG Global is officially, by a huge margine, the worse organization I've ever had a displeasure of dealing with. That includes the my home State's Duma. I made the fucking Duma to see the light once, but I failed to do so with IMG Global. Absolute disgrace.
I think the wealthy business owner doesn’t give himself enough credit for being who he is. He could have struggled more, yeah, but struggles don’t always make a person better. He did well for himself through some connections, but you still don’t become as successful as he did without some sort of work ethic and integrity. Then the way he cared for his employee?? That’s amazing. Good people are good people.
That machine story. So Jake reached out to OP and said he coudnt afford the company's install service(let's say $150, up from the 100 Company used to charge), but then agrees to give OP double what the company used to charge(200)? Yea, seems sus. I would've been wary of that.
Believe it or not it would have cost about 8k for engineers to install it. Double my rate for a job like this was about £300 an hour which gave me about £2400. It made sense in their eyes, until they screwed me over.
@@tehking111 that's cool, my numbers were just examples. I don't know what the real numbers were because I don't even know what kind of machine were talking about.
The op in the first story really does show that people can come from wealth and privilege and still be a decent person, based on the back story I think the op is from South Korea, so being respectful and going off at the blatant disrespect of the insurance company makes sense...good on you op, you're the kind of boss people would kill to work for
Last: Search for an OP who is only one of SEVEN people in UK who can do one type of restoration job on old buildings. The GM of the larger project pisses him off and OP leaves and warns the other 6. Obviously they are too busy! A huge fine is levied when GM can't "deliver" the goods on time!

It's interesting that always when youtube recommends me an older video I already listen I check the channel and sometimes I find a new video uploaded up a couple of tens of seconds up to a minute.
That first story ain't pro revenge. It's full on nuclear scorched earth revenge with radioactive fallout dessert. Company: "We don't deal with small clients." OP: "So you have chosen Armageddon."
Jake: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN ANSWERING MY CALLS? Me: Why would I answer the calls of a Crook that Stiffed me? What in HELL makes you think I'd be even remotely willing to work for you after what you did to me? Me: However, I WILL be willing to finish installing the unit on the following, NON-NEGOTIABLE conditions: 1) You will sign a Contract before I resume work, that Contract will lay out this and all other terms of work and of course will be Legally Binding. 2) Once you sign the Contract and take your copy, you WILL pay me UP FRONT AND IN FULL with Cash, Bank Draft (Cashiers Check) or Money Order before I resume work, Credit/Debit Cards and Non-Certified Checks are not acceptable. Agree to those terms and I'll be happy to finish the installation.

I have massive respect for OP in the first story. Covering her bill must have meant the world to her, but OP clearly had the means so it didn't change much for them. This is how you build employee loyalty and a good work environment. Happy employees work better and make happier customers. No wonder OP's bussinesses are successful.
It couldn't have been cheap, either. Looking up how much hysterectomies cost in America, it adds up anywhere between $31,000-49,000 depending on what kind of procedure was done. I can imagine how distraught the employee was to get that bill.
How is it legal to retroactively refuse to cover a medical procedure? That sounds extremely illegal.
Right? And the whole BS about they only inform big clients on such changes. You can't just change a contract and on top of that not even inform about it.
I assume it's extremely illegal, however it's actually cheaper for him to just pay the bill outright than take them to court over it... which is exactly what they're counting on. However, he found a way to keep it from happening again, to all branches of his business; also his extended family, apparently. That's about a 10/10 on the "Whoops Scale."
It happens. Back when I had a reduction mammaplasty, I did everything necessary to make sure my insurance would cover it until they finally approved. Then I had my surgery, and months later got a notice from my insurance company that they were "investigating" the claim because they deemed it a "pre-existing condition".
At around that time, the Affordable Care Act was passed and companies were prohibited from going after people like me who needed medical procedures for pre-existing conditions, so they stopped hounding me for it. Thanks, Obama!
It likely isn't legal, but insurance companies will try to weasel out of paying whenever they can. It costs them no money to decline every claim (maybe costs good will, but if the claimant is powerless, they will weigh any loss of goodwill against tens of thousands of dollars (in this case) to pay the claim. I have seen many insurance companies not even take a claim seriously until a lawsuit is filed against them.
probably isn't but if a country is corrupt enough a lawsuit probably isn't worth their while. If they're ok with applying retroactive policies on people going out a full year who knows what else they can get away with
Story 3: I've seen this sort of scam a few times on Reddit stories. What's worse is that sometimes, the scammer actually HAD the money the whole time! It's scummy behavior
it is really scummy but its also dont screw with engineers because they will know things
@@grimmjaw02 The general rule is don't screw with experts in their own field, you'll have a bad day of it :X
Although if you're a decent person you don't screw with anyone, period, no reasons necessary :D
Sadly, for some reason, statistically, almost all scammers have the money. Theft is a wealthy man's sport, 9/10 times. Something about resources and power ruins people's ethics.
Hey, Slash, I really enjoyed the stories today. By the way that guy who installed that machine for 7000 pounds, that's actually the equivalent of $8400 dollars in American dollars or at $1.20 per British pound. For that company to try to stiff him out of $8400 means that they're a dishonorable bunch to deal with or that company is in bad financial shape.
The man really needs to learn currencies.
@@kylar616 a classic entitled American
@@johndalasfox6077 nah he just average american.
@@ReigoVassal well I am one, and I can confirm I don’t mix up USD’s and GBP’s (most of the time ^^)
So the original amount of money they was going to stiff me was about £2.4k. Installation I was being paid about £300 an hour. People in the thread were asking me why I didn't ask for money up front, and to be honest, the thought of them stiffing me wasn't even in a possibility in my mind. The reason it jumped up to £7k was because I knew the installation from my old company was £8k, so asking for more than that would have made them look elsewhere. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Story 1: Don't you love when you shoot down an attitude like that? I love the irony at the end.
OP from the first story is a boss. Not only is he a kind individual willing to pay for his employees medical bill, when the insurance fell through but he destroyed that business who looked down on the little people. Good on OP.
Don't mess with an Engineer.... After listening to this one I had to laugh. I did field service for a long time in the automation controls field. A competitor of the company I worked for had a machine that used our controls, not their own. Their machine went down and no matter what they did they couldn't get it to run. They didn't want to call us, a competitor, and tried working with the machine's builder in another city. They reloaded the program, changed out all of the controls hardware and still could not get the machine to run. So they bit the bullet and called us. I got the call and went to the site. When I got there the receptionist said "Oh they are waiting for you." and I signed in and was lead back to the machine. The building was silent as this machine produced what was needed for everything else and everyone else to work. The head of the company was standing there in his suit and started to bitch me out for them being down for two weeks. I replied you just called us and those two weeks are not our fault. I said I need an electrician and an operator. I had my computer on my shoulder and my jacket was still zipped up. I was lead back to the machine where I asked what was going on. They said the machine just won't run. So I asked the operator to try and make anything run on the machine. She started by pressing a button and told me a pump should have started. The electrician already had a computer hooked up to the machine, and a set of electrical prints. I asked him to show me the pump in the schematics, he did. From there I got an address to look up in the program, then asked the operator to press the button. Looking at the program everything needed was met accept one item. I searched back two steps to an input that was not on. I grabbed the prints, paged back to the input and saw what it was. Seven different things were wired to it and all seven needed to be made. So I asked for the first one, it was good, and so on. When I got to the last one, a switch, I found it and looked back at the contacts, they were open. The switch was the "Off - Run" selector switch. It was in the "Off" position .... for the last two weeks. I switched into "Run" and told the operator to try starting the machine. She pressed the Start button and the machine came to life churning out parts. The plant went silent as I was at the machine for about a minute. The VP motioned for the electrician to come over to him. I was standing at the machine, coat still on, and my computer still hanging off my shoulder, when the electrician came back and said the VP was embarrassed and asked for me to go. As I was walking back out I had to pass him and all the big wigs. He then asked me what I did. I replied "I just turned the machine on". I was back at the receptionist signing out 5 minutes after walking in the building. The customer got a 4 hour minimum bill. That one always makes me laugh.
Must have felt great.
Story one that is the kind of person who understands that just because they have wealth and alot of fortune both inherited and earned, (from my understanding) doesnt make you entitled to be a dick. The fact that he went to bat for that employee and when it didnt pan out he went and settled the bill for her, That is a boss who understands the human value and if i ever am a boss it's how i hope to be
Yes, he is an absolute good guy! Such an amazing boss ! Anyone would be lucky to have him as a boss !
Yep, last story and a lesson to all: Do not be an asshole and not pay those who work for you.
First story : ... "we altered our terms, pray we don't change them further" comes to mind when the insurance company said they changed their thing a month prior, without warning and that it was a 12 month retrospect (how is this legal!?). Goes to show how much of a scam insurance is.
I don't think it was legal.
Story 1: Good Boss OP weaponizes his spoiled upbringing to become a super Karen to murder an arrogant insurance company
It isn't a Karen if the recipient has it coming. Then it's just called standing up for yourself.
@@tazhienunurbusinezz1703 Don't you know? Anyone who has more than you doesn't deserve it in any capacity whatsoever.
Nah he isn't a Karen. He is goals lol I aspire to be this wealthy and petty
It's clearly fake, it's one of two story formats that always make it to the top, if even quarter of these were ture there wouldn't be a single functioning business left on the planet.
@@joeycampbell940 oh. You're one of THOSE.
OP does a play by play of what a good boss should do for their employees.
Insurance Company: You're just a tiny client, we don't have time for y-...Is it just me, or is that Final Boss Music?
Considering what happened in 2024 for a Health Insurance CEO getting shot, this dude got lucky to be bought out and not put 6 feet under.
First story:
“Remember when you wouldn’t pay for the procedure my insurance actually covered?”
“Big mistake, huge…”
LOL I love how reading a line from a movie or tv show translates into the voice in my head! XooX
i remember there was a kind of a similar enough story that made the news in my country...
there was a bussinessman that was abducted for something like 20-40 days and the news made his name popular. And there was a second pretty huge CEO with a very similar family name (like a single extra letter, that is fully pronounced though, so the two names cna be easily ddifferentiated)
so two of the CEOs truck drivers get into an accident in some internal shop transfer of something and their insurance denies them coverage because they are insured only for client deliveries or some bulshit of that sort, and whilst the vehicle damages where probably something like 10k, the medical bill of one of the guy to not lose his arm went into half a million (he either had to be transported to another country for surgery or a team had to be rbought in or sth costly that i do not remember).
anyways the insurance does not accept to pay and the big very popular company's (in the country) name isnt the one that is visible, it is some generic transport and logistics name that is like a subsidiary and nobody knows.
apparently the CEO tries to get it solved through legal, financial or whatever else and he fails. he then goes in person and they tell him "oh, because you are famous you think you can come here and buly us into making half a million in payments? go f* yourself" and kick him out.
that was the point he got a news crew involved to wire him with a hidden camera for his next visit. (htere were some middle points that i do not remember)
he goes in wired and tells them "do you know who i am?" and they say they do, because his family name is well known... etc..
and they again tell him that they are kicking him out. he call in his laywer who apparrently has prepared a big lawsuit for breach of contract, because apparently they didn't have a good enough reason to deny the payment.
And then the lawyer starts pulling out lawsuit after lawsuit from all the other companies that operate under the same mama-company of no-trust in the services due to proven ineffectiveness they start going crazy.
Next day the insurance company EU CEO is sent to the country because they suddenly realise that its not the "famous" bussinessman who probably has like 30 or 50 emplyees, but its the other one. The guy that has the biggest toy megastores in the country, that has expanded that to like another 10 countries and te corporate offices are in this country, with so so many delivery and logistic companies and port and rail and so many other connected companies... Only the toy chain emplayes like 2500 people, but all together he has approximately 36000 people insured, and over 1000 vehicles, and over 200 propertie insured with them. apparently the hit from just loosing them as a client was forcing the isnureance branch in our conuntry to close down, but the lawsuit which was asking for all the active contracts to be refunded, and some fines and so many other things, made a top 15 european insurance (or at least i think they were this big) to pull out of 20% of europe to cut its losses.
and then the CEO went on some media tour to bash them even more...
That first story made me angry. Legally, an insurance company cannot approve a procedure and then change the rules and deny it after it has happened. That is fraud and they could have been sued into oblivion. Can't believe she had to pay for the surgery herself. That is completely illegal.
I wish there was more “revengy-ness” to the seniors apartment story. Yeah, that OP basically cost that company an account, but I wish there was more to it.
It was pure joy when op in story1 started listing all the businesses he had insured with that company 🤗🤣
Holy crap, I appreciate the amount of paraphrasing you did for the first story!
Fantastic video as always
I love that first OP. They sound like a fantastic boss who really wants the best for their employees. I always feel so lucky to have coworkers and managers like this too.
First story: That is definitely a "Well well well. How the turntables." Moment
Wow, that first guy sounds like an amazing boss! And an actual decent human being
"I will pay you after you're done!"... "We've had this conversation before, buddy."
I get soooo much satisfaction hearing stories like the first one.. I wish more business owners were like him with their employees..
Any lawyer would have an absolute field day with the Devil’s own insurance company.
First story shows you how low some insurance companies are.
They only cared about the OP’s employees until they heard the OP’s last name. The ending to the story was perfect.
The first story reminded me of something I learned about Jim Henson, from back when he was shooting the first Muppet Show.
His friend and one of the founding members of the muppet’s Jerry Nelson was having a problem with their insurance provider.
Jerry’s daughter Christine had cystic fibrosis, and after years of treatments, he’d been informed by their provider that they would no longer cover her.
Jim wouldn’t stand for that and changed providers for his entire company.
When Jerry tried to thank him, Jim just kind of shrugged and said “That’s what insurance companies are for”.
He also granted a wish for Christine, who had wanted to be an actress. You can see her in a scene with her dad in The Great Muppet Caper, where the two are walking in the park together.
This is where the phrase “Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions” with that 1st reddit post. Karma is a bitch, ain’t it?
Employee: could you please pay my insurrace?
Insurrance: no
Boss: so you have chosen death, and also hippity hoppity, your building is now my propierty.
Insurance company: *Doesn't pay
OP: "So you have chosen... death."
Why was this whole video like the most wholesome satisfying r/prorevenge I've seen yet
Well the lady whose boss covered her out of pocket is gonna be sticking with the company! Now that's how you get loyalty!
Second story: I can tell even one self can install a TV system. I did the one at my home by myself. All you need is an aerial, as much coaxial cable you think you'll need, a knife, some heads for the cable and you just put everything together, if your TV is digital you don't need a digital box, which isn't hard to install either.
Honestly, even if OP dealing with that insurance company was a small business with no other connections he could still have ruined their day.
If he got what was said here in writing I imagine an e-mail or two is all that would be required to convince the "big customers" not to work with an insurance company that can and will choose to retroactively change their contract to just not pay out a claim whenever is convenient for them without even informing their customers... I imagine in pretty much any country, taking this issue to court would get you this statement in writing allowing you to send those e-mails and a payout (at minimum cost of the treatment).
Retirement Community Story - I applaud OP for being proactive and taking care of the retirees. Kudos!
Insurance company: well if you don't like it, you can go somewhere else.
Customer: Okay bye
Insurance company: wait, not like that!
I wish I could somehow meet the 1rst story's poster and tell him he is an icon, I love him, if he was my boss I would die for him- just for seeing him help my coworker with cancer like that. I have never heard of a manager that supportive. Imagine how joyful he made his employer? What an absolute king. I love him and I don't even know him.
That first story is absolutely fantastic ! To buy your former insurance provider’s building after their company has gone bust must be a ‘smack in the mouth’ to their former employees ! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That first story is *exactly* why I never buy into the "people love their insurance and they love their freedom!" argument against M4A. Literally NO ONE loves their insurance. No one, no matter how many politicians and insurance companies will tell you that you do. You don't love your insurance. What you'd love is to have medical needs like that employee actually covered, without having the rug pulled out from under you months later when the company decides they don't feel like covering the costs for the insurance that you already pay way too much for.
If anyone tries to tell you that people love their insurance and love having the "freedom" to choose which insurance plan will HOPEFULLY screw them over the least... don't. It's a scam and cases like that story show you why - you don't love your insurance and your insurance doesn't give a toss about you.
So glad that OP mercilessly tore them down, the world is better off with one less greedy company ruining people's lives. We'd be better off if all medical insurance companies went the way of the dodo and we just adapted to a universal healthcare system.
I have to admit, that first one sounds like a r/thathappened more than a r/prorevenge
Agreed lol
Greetings from nova Scotia, Canada; first off I would like to say thanks for all the awesome videos, I really look forward to another great video. I respect your decision to spend more time with your family, I think you made an amazing dad move....Please keep the great content coming, many thanks, Arthur
And this is the story of how OP got a super loyal employee, who is highly unlikely to leave...
I laughed at the last story. That is brilliant revenge. Beautiful!
Watching this at work Is what makes the morning shift possible
Watching this is what makes breathing possible to handle
Re:Getting revenge on the cable company
I don't think there is a able company anywhere on Earth that people absolutely love! Good on OP for getting revenge on the cable company!
Note to self: never anger an army man
Yes
Everyone needs to note this. Seriously, worst people to mess with
5:30 Many people who work for him, must be blessing their lucky star aka OP!
I love when a business person uses plain good business practices to but arrogant companies. Bravo dude
I love the original poster from the first story, you can tell that they weren't spoiled by their ivory tower upbringing, and actually use that sort of thing to do a lot of good! Gotta love it when you see arrogant and self righteous people get their just desserts.
Dear Dabney, in the last story it was pounds not dollars. The symbol that looks a bit like a cursive capital L is pound sign.
Insurance company : We don't deal with the likes of you! OP : I have a card, a special, beautifull card. The UNO reverse card. BEHOLD THY POWER YA PEASANTS!
That first story should be a reminder to everyone just how priveleged and powerful the 1% are. How easy their lives are and how easily they can crush even major corporations, but they only do so to benefit themselves and their close acquaintances.
12:50 Jake was doing an antsy pansy dance for Months, while you were out working Your Job without worries. All Easy, With The Touch of 1 Button!! And you can just press his buttons now.
I'm pretty sure all these stories should be in r/thathappened
12:01 - Pounds rSlash - It's Pounds. There is more than 1 currency in the world!
r/slash just being regular american not realizing not every currency is dollar lol. Just as cringe as him trying to read other languages.
@@PotatoSmasher420 The foreign language thing isn't an issue with me - you haven't learnt how to speak it, it's going to sound wrong. But the currency thing is just normal respect. If you don't know - look it up. Don't just call it "Dollar"
@@ScorpiusZA. sure, but he's a youtuber that reads those foreign languages out loud sometimes. The least he could do is to listen to google translate once before reading it out loud... Literally 10 seconds of work for improved quality of videos.
That last story could've only been better if Jake threatened to sue OP. You know, because he wouldn't be able to make a case without incriminating himself! 😂
the first story doesn't make any sense.
If they only informed their large clients, wouldn't OP have been informed, seeing how his family's business empire is so big that them leaving put the insurance company at risk of closing?
Either the differing nature of those businesses created a system issue or, more likely, the insurance company was lying and they're just a bunch of scumbags
Yea. They most likely just lied
None of the story has a ring of truth tbh.
Story 1: Awesome!! I wish more employers stood up for their employees like that!!
0:21 - OMG, someone who actually knows how to use the 'plural possessive' apostrophe! Well done sir.
Now that first OP is the type of Boss I'd want to work for. I have nothing but respect for him
Oh man, that first story was absolutely beautiful! That insurance company deserved all of that karma
I wanna call bs on the first story, because there’s no way an *insurance company* would explicitly ADMIT TO DISCRIMINATION, let alone THAT EASILY.
Edit: not to mention *contract fraud.* I know that it is for a FACT illegal to change the terms of service and enforce new rules retroactively, ESPECIALLY like this.
The whole thing sounds like bs
That first story was fresh change on all the horrible bosses.
That first story is beautiful. I was worried he was just gonna switch insurances and we wouldn't see what the company thought of that. So glad they went to do it in person.
I would have loved if he and his family had used their connections in the business world (even before covid) to spread the word about the insurance company ... There would have most likely been a tidal wave of cancellations...
that first story is the exact opposite of half of the Malicious Compliance stories
MC stories: HAHA I, THE BOSS, WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!
The First Story: Oh, sure. *Goes to company *they do nothing *RUNS THEM OUT OF BUSINESS
Don't be surprised if other insurances companies, small or big, had done that BS. You want to meet evil?, go to a insurance company.
Props to OP for being such a great employer, it's sure a fresh air
Last story. Serves him right to have to hunt down each of those guys. If he had payed them like he was supposed to, he never would have been in that situation. Good for them!
you know, i was expecting the OP to be completely different than he actually was. I like them. they are nice.
You upload at 8 am my time which is right when I get to work so it's perfect for having something to listen to starting my day.
Got travel insurance with ok rates (this was a condition of my visa in the US). Got sick, submitted a claim. The bill comes back 4 times higher. After 8 (!!!) months of back and forth with disgustingly rude customer service, after involving the Attorney General in my state, I finally got an answer of why: they had an addenda to their contract, which was AN ENTIRE CONTRACT BUT WITH DIFFERENT NUMBERS. Of course, they failed to mention the addenda when we were discussing the rates. How on Earth is this legal? In the end, I had to pay only two times the amount, not four, "as a courtesy".
I lived in Russia for 20 years. The US insurance company called IMG Global is officially, by a huge margine, the worse organization I've ever had a displeasure of dealing with. That includes the my home State's Duma. I made the fucking Duma to see the light once, but I failed to do so with IMG Global. Absolute disgrace.
I think the wealthy business owner doesn’t give himself enough credit for being who he is. He could have struggled more, yeah, but struggles don’t always make a person better. He did well for himself through some connections, but you still don’t become as successful as he did without some sort of work ethic and integrity. Then the way he cared for his employee?? That’s amazing. Good people are good people.
for the last story, OP shoulda gotten out a toolkit, set up for like half an hour, building up the tension, and the fix the problem, then pack up
That machine story. So Jake reached out to OP and said he coudnt afford the company's install service(let's say $150, up from the 100 Company used to charge), but then agrees to give OP double what the company used to charge(200)?
Yea, seems sus. I would've been wary of that.
Believe it or not it would have cost about 8k for engineers to install it. Double my rate for a job like this was about £300 an hour which gave me about £2400. It made sense in their eyes, until they screwed me over.
@@tehking111 that's cool, my numbers were just examples. I don't know what the real numbers were because I don't even know what kind of machine were talking about.
That 1st story is the most satisfying story you have ever told
The first story sounds like it should belong on r/that happened...
You're not wrong. It's an entertaining story, nonetheless.
If someone can find the news articles, then we can confirm it did happen.
The op in the first story really does show that people can come from wealth and privilege and still be a decent person, based on the back story I think the op is from South Korea, so being respectful and going off at the blatant disrespect of the insurance company makes sense...good on you op, you're the kind of boss people would kill to work for
Last: Search for an OP who is only one of SEVEN people in UK who can do one type of restoration job on old buildings. The GM of the larger project pisses him off and OP leaves and warns the other 6. Obviously they are too busy! A huge fine is levied when GM can't "deliver" the goods on time!
This is why my philosophy is, "Don't be a butt."
Hi Rslash. Wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos; some of them just astounded me on certain levels, like with the entitled parents and the pro revenge peoplewill get on those who deserves it. Also I love the puppy bloopers you have sometimes with your dogs.
What I love in the first story is how this guy, you’d think would be a selfish, stuck up rich ceo, completely takes down some pompous rich people trying to exploit the unfortunate
Loved story 1. Hate insurance companies.
It's interesting that always when youtube recommends me an older video I already listen I check the channel and sometimes I find a new video uploaded up a couple of tens of seconds up to a minute.
That first story ain't pro revenge. It's full on nuclear scorched earth revenge with radioactive fallout dessert.
Company: "We don't deal with small clients."
OP: "So you have chosen Armageddon."
Please bring back the r/puppybloopers
YES
Anybody else having to search for rslash and go to his page every morning? I watch it every day. TH-cam used to feed it to me.
Jake: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN ANSWERING MY CALLS?
Me: Why would I answer the calls of a Crook that Stiffed me? What in HELL makes you think I'd be even remotely willing to work for you after what you did to me?
Me: However, I WILL be willing to finish installing the unit on the following, NON-NEGOTIABLE conditions: 1) You will sign a Contract before I resume work, that Contract will lay out this and all other terms of work and of course will be Legally Binding. 2) Once you sign the Contract and take your copy, you WILL pay me UP FRONT AND IN FULL with Cash, Bank Draft (Cashiers Check) or Money Order before I resume work, Credit/Debit Cards and Non-Certified Checks are not acceptable. Agree to those terms and I'll be happy to finish the installation.
5:30 - correction OP - Karma is a beautiful warrior goddess 😉
First Story: Someone already mentioned this, but "the butt you kick today might be the one who will kick your butt in the future."
