Yeah IKR. Bosses and managers are needed for long term direction and to make sure to hire and retain the correct staff for your company and to keep the peace and morale up in your company. But short term a company can usually survive with almost no to sometimes 0 management. I don't know of a company around that can survive longer than a day to a week (some even a few hours) without employees...
@@center4nerds I'm pretty sure their plan was to line their pockets with money at the expense of their employees. Since the Manager pay increase I bet was Manager and up.
@@Eremiyah Not really line the pockets just keep the pockets full. With that investor leaving the entire company was going to lose money which Is manageable. Unless management hates the idea of loosing money and dosen't mind fucking over everyone else to keep their paycheck nice and high even after loosing an investor.
Sounds like what 1 of my old jobs did. When the business was bought out. They told all the employees that there's a merger, and some will be transferred to other places, others will be let go. So instead they took some of the useful guys, transferred them, then fired the rest, including supervisors, office workers and a manager that helped ran and knew all the clients by first name, etc. So the ones who were kept walked off, save for like 3. Now they dont have enough for the 3 shifts. When they finally got enough for skeleton crews, they hired new ppl. They quickly left within a week. This qent on for 2 months. They lost 4 forklift drivers, about 30 ppl. And the ones who showed promises were fired due to bs supervisor/management. When the hire ups came to ask wtf. The manager and supers feign ignorance, asked the new guys who trained u? They all said op did, not super. New guys said super fired a guy cause he didnt know his job properly cause super never trained him. When op, left saying that this place as it is(manager lost 4 big contracts, due to incompetence) the new guys and most of the other works walked. The placed lasted about 2 more weeks tell it was rezoned for an industrial area for business. Freaking hilarious when u treat ur employees like shit then ur left with mess u made.

"Don't come to me with a problem unless you have a solution." Well, I don't know how to put out this grease fire.. guess I'll just let it burn the house down.
Yeah, that line confused me a bit. If I have a solution I'm probably not coming to you, I'm going to implement the solution and let you know afterwards unless I think you might know a better solution in which case I'll verify it. But "Oh, you don't have a solution so don't tell me about the problem" sounds really backwards.
I'm a developer and my senior dev at one of my first jobs was like this. I had to go to him if all my solutions didn't worked, proving that I did my part. I learnt a lot but this made us waste a lot of time sometimes.
That mentality is valid, but it wasn't very well explained. The way it's supposed to work is "Figure out what the problem is, try to come up with a solution, then come get me if you still can't figure it out." That is, try to fix it on your own before you come running for help. Obviously if it's an emergency and you don't have time to tinker and come up with a solution, then you call right away. But for the most part, it's good to get the subordinates thinking on their own. I do this with my kids, and it works pretty well.

The military story, sounds like a story one of my teachers told me, where his roommate had been in the military. There was a weird sound in his car. He meticulously took apart the car outside and lay every piece on the ground until he found the part that was making the noise. Replaced it, and put the car back together.
Depends on what kind of car. I like simple fords because you can take them apart with simple tools. Door, panels, fenders, engine components, will come off with a simple screw driver.
reminds me of a story in a book, "the big book of urban legends": a wealth doctor had a fancy car with a persistent rattle. after numerous attempts at fixing it, he finally had the car completely dismantled, and finally found the source of the rattle: a loose bolt inside a door panel, with a note attached that said, "so you finally found the rattle, you rich SOB!"
The "bolts" part made me laugh so much. I used to be me a black hawk mechanic in the army and I remember seeing so many people get yelled at for not labeling parts clearly. I know he did it just to make it so much harder.
also to stop someone just chucking out these two odd coffee cans that'd been left in the IFV then complaining the commo guys had stolen all the bolts......
"Don't come with me with a problem without a solution" aka "I don't feel like doing my job and helping you". Thats how you get things done wrong ten times instead of right the first time.
The way it's worded sounds worse than it truly is. What they're implying here is "If you have a problem, try to solve it yourself first". Mechanics and programmers alike that i've been friends with agree this is a perfectly normal work environment and in some cases the best way to work. If your superior in that work environment fixes everything, you never get to learn how to resolve those issues on your own and end up relying on them more often. It's to promote critical thinking and problem solving thought patterns. Now sure, if we're on a hypothetical time crunch and shit just needs to get fixed 2 days ago, such bosses won't mind 9/10. It's when your workers/subordinates come bugging you about every little routine detail and how to fix it that they get annoyed, once you get to running a workshop/department yourself, alot of the time you have mountains of paperwork on TOP of having to help your guys out. A mechanic that can look at an engine for example and, through a couple runs of trial and error may take a little longer to get the job done that time, but he'll come away from the experience able to remember "X happened that one time I had this issue, lets see if what I did back then works this time too"
@@Rixoli I'm more worried about the dad teaching that to his kid. Childhood is the time you're supposed to learn and ask a shit ton of questions, twlling them to solve it themselves and not bother you is just being a lazy, shitty parent. Its a lot more reasonable in a workplace environment where everyone is supposed to already know what they're doing.
@@lynniewood Actually, telling your kid to try and solve problems themselves is legitimately being a good parent. If you are constantly fixing their problems for them, they will never figure it out for themselves.
I listened to the last story and almost said it may have been too far, then went over it again to remind myself that all OP did was 1. Take care of themselves, and 2. Report actual crimes and felonies their former roommates had committed. It may have been revenge, but those jackasses didn't get anything they didn't already have coming to them; OP just got to be the lucky bastard responsible for flicking the house of cards.
when I was a young adult i had a roommate that took advantage of me to the tune of probably close to $5k all said and done with rent and utilities that I was to nice to notice. I would have loved to have gotten even some petty revenge on, but man this was glorious!
I LOVED the Military story. I am an Army Veteran (92Y or Unit Supply Specialist for everyone else) . . . Motorpool didn't like us either. In fact, they purposely gave me the worst vehicle they had during my second deployment to Iraq. The thing barely ran at first and they had very little interest in helping me because I wasn't in their company. (They were in Echo company while I was in HQ.) I ordered everything that I could before speaking to their Supply Sergeant. Fortunately, she didn't have the same attitude toward those not in her company. In fact, she was always willing to help me because, as she put it, I was one of her "supply people" . . . and supply personnel always helped each other. She asked them to order the necessary parts for my vehicle on my behalf (without telling them that it was for me . . . or even which vehicle the parts were for). Once all of the parts were in, I approached the mechanics again with yet another request for them to fix my vehicle. They laughed before telling me that they couldn't because they didn't have the necessary parts . . . I happily provided said parts and nicely asked them to get to work. Long story short, I had one of the best vehicles in the company by the end of the deployment . . . and the mechanics learned not to mess with me.

To the first story. When I was little I played Neopets and there was a game where you try to run a business from factory to retail. They advise to not hire too many managers because they wouldn't get much work done on their own and they cost a lot more. So yeah it's an extremely simple concept that Neopets understood they have no excuse.
Sounds fake to me. It's not legal to turn off utilities in the middle of winter even if the customer is behind on payment. I've had relatives who were frequently behind on payment and always worried about spring coming because then the power could be cut.
I don't get it, why companies nowadays prefer to go through so many hassle instead of keeping their employees. It's literally a fundamental that is teach in business administrations schools. Let alone going always for the "you need a master degree to do this job, but we will pay you an entry level salary"

My husband was a truckdriver/salesman, He told them in Feb. that he would tale his vacation the first week in June as our daughter was getting married in Arizona. When he went into the office the Monday after his vacation he was told he was fired for taking a week off and not calling in. He reminded the that he was on an approved vacation, (Yes the time off was approved) He was 1 of 7 drivers, the thing is he brought in as much as the other 6, He went to work for their competior, took all their customers with him and his former plant closed within 3 months!
The motor chief was pissed for a month. He had to fix that damn thing for 3 weeks... So he was really only holding a grudge for 1 week before realizing, that it's kinda funny. And then they eventually settled the hate between commo and mechanics by crosstraining them.
5:46 i would go nuts if my son ran around with a screw driver disassembling everything around the house lmao EDIT: holy shit, your talent of running around disassembling shit and not putting it back together gave trauma to your mechanic team lmao, i'm pretty sure it took them more than 4 hours to put the BFV back together.
The only reason the mass walk out worked was because the senior had jobs lined up for all the techs. This probably happened a couple decades ago, b/c now almost every contract has a non-compete clause, which would prevent that scenario as if they all quit like that they would have to find a job in a different field or wait X amount of time to get a job in the same field. That's the only reason companies can pay the little guys so poorly, because they are dependent on the job to live.
5:29 Most company's who get really top heavy in managers fail The main reason being is too much money is being spent on them and not enough on getting extra workers and better conditions This results in alot of issues money wise and often results in corners cut Most fail due to high turnover rates for staff and general lack of money
I love how RSlash always upload the videos during my lunch time, it feels ✨right✨. The last story, oh man I want to be friends with that person I would even help them remove the wall paint if it was theirs
I'm glad that last OP got such a nuclear revenge on their housemates. Neglect of your dependents, like pets and children is unforgivable. I hope those criminal charges taught those horrible people not to take on responsibilities they aren't serious about in the future.
This happened to me at my old job. I used to work as a lease broker for industrial equipment. There were about 10 of us working for one boss. He was real shady and would tell us to make up any lie we had to to secure the lease. The finance guy who handled all the communications between us and the actual lender was a young guy just trying to establish himself in the financial sector. I don’t remember what it was exactly that the boss asked him to do, but he up and quit one morning because he was asked to do something illegal that could have gotten him in big trouble just so the boss could secure his precious lease. When lunchtime came around all but one of the rest of us agreed we were going to go to lunch together and never come back. I learned a big lesson about accepting a job from someone with a questionable character.
The last one made me giddy and smile super wide. I hate toxic friendships and just toxic relationships in general, so in my opinion, OP did their pro-revenge so well I would probably pay them to sabotage someone. :D
Everyone quitting at once is the wrong reaction. I guess they were not in a union? That would have been the perfect time to organize, strike, and make demands.
I find making this while cooking eggs for breakfast is a great idea! You laugh and then flip the pan! Boom, breakfast for the dog😂 I kid I love the vids!
People at the top always forgot that we bottom feeders (Minimum wage workers who do all the job while they sit infront of their computer doing nothing) are the very foundation of a company.
I'll never understand why companies promote this sort of behavior at work. Everyone is different, some people are better fit for management, others are better fit for the lower ranks, but they are ALL equally important, so why treat any one "class" better than the other? it dosen't promote competition between your employees, creating that special "magic" that "gets shit done", it creates bitter work environments, resentment and toxic work places.
My brother did that motor pool shop job in Germany in the 1980's. His solution to mechanical problems was to Frankenstein other machines to make the one that was needed work. His team was fast but there was a revolving pool of broken machines. His superiors loved him and never found out about the broken vehicles.
There should be a company that takes complaints from other businesses and helps stage mass walk outs and help find jobs for those willing to quit there current job that way it would have to be a majority deal for the complaints to be valid
I've been in that type of company, so what I think they wanted by reducing everyone's pay but increasing management's it was simply to get management on board with whatever they wanted to do to the other employees, they get payed reeeeally well to basically betray and manipulate people under them
One reason why companies stay afloat is that they figure out how to get the US government to pay out money to them. This is something that needs to stop.
first story = this is what you have unions for...aka... documents that have to be shown for the staff..cant be buried or such ,because management HAVE to also DIRECTLY notify the union representative of such documents or be considered to act in a deceptive manner.
same here, I would take apart my toys and anything electronic then when I was interested in magnets, I would take apart old hardrives or dvd players and take the magnets out of it.
Oh, the number of times I wish I had the foresight of that Sargent! That was just beautiful!!! The Bradley Fighting Vehicle... The most overengineered, back to the drawing board military vehicle in existence.
Many, MANY companies end up that way. You just don't hear about them because usually it's a problem with the owners' business philosophy from the get-go and the company or product never gets off the ground to start with, so they never have enough aggrieved employees to make it likely that their story ends up online.
The answer to the first question is simple: Most companies are aware of this risk and are careful when it goes about cutting pays of hard-to-replace employees or too radical raises of the pays of the management. The act of the directors has been extremely careless and there is no wonder that company went bankrupt.
I was a mechanic as well but I fix guns (91F) our 91F group has a "10% rule" this means if we go to check your weapons and the ten percent of the weapons we check are dirty we will not inspect or fix any of the weapons until they are clean. We can also deadline weapons if there's a problem that will either cause the weapon not to work or kill somebody. Please don't give us a good enough reason to deadline most of a company's weapons for petty reasons.
At least in the US, those new contracts would likely be unenforceable. When you add new stipulations, such as non-compete, you have to give consideration (something of value) in return. They lowered compensation AND added extra stipulations. Good on those employees for walking out
The first story in the call centre sounds like Sitel. Worst company to work for. They make a massive fuss about being supportive of mental health and helping you in anyway possible but as soon you ask them for help, they basically tell you to fuck off.
RE: the BFV. Someone, who knows who or when, had installed a non-shipboard telephone in the ship’s Log Office. Basically a standard (of its day) wall phone. Shipboard phone handsets latch into a little pin so they cannot fall off the hook. My Chief Petty Officer said he was done trying official channels to get the thing removed and asked me if I could do it. No problem! I’m very good at disassembling things! I was done in 10-15 minutes including find suitable tools. The shop that should have done it responded promptly when it was discovered none of the phones in the entire aft half of ship worked after my removal of the phone that (A) never should have been installed in the first place, and (B) whose removal just didn’t make it on the appropriate shop’s work list.
one story brought up two rules I live by: 1:) Friend is just a person who doesn't have the guts to tell you "if it is them or you they are going to pick themselves every single time" 2:) No exceptions of any kind: snitches get stitches.
I've listened to the military revenge story a dozen times. Today I idly decided to do some googling. This whole time I've been picturing a Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) as a Jeep, basically. Jeeps are designed to be disassembled and reassembled fairly easily, so this revenge would be very annoying but not particularly devastating. How wrong I was. A BFV Is what most of us picture when we hear the word "tank." Disassembling a dang tank. OP did indeed engage in thermonuclear war.
With the last story, let me get this straight.. At some point OP started paying all the bills, and his friends - instead of using the money on bills - used the money on themselves?
Why can't these people in upper management remember... "Employee's don't quit the company, they quit their terrible bosses." and these bosses got bent over barrel and showed the 50 states/
In Australian employment law there is the “no disadvantage test” which essentially means pay and conditions can never go backwards, never be decreased or cut. All workers on an award wage (basically everyone except people on salaries) receives an annual pay increase.

Revenge makes me happy because it's like the same stories but from people who aren't delusionally insecure or brainwashed.
dont forget maliciouscompliance
Imagine if all of the employees danced as they walked out. It would have been a musical XD
A conga line.
I saw video about a person quitting his job and it had a musical In it
A conga line, all while they're flipping off the management
@@mbyerly9680 LOL. I was just picturing a conga line dancing out the door
im glad op took the dogs out of that situation in the last story
if the dogs were taken there was a reason bc they rarely take dogs away even in bad environments. 🥺
As a professional animal rescuer I can confirm this. Animal control will hardly ever take animals unless it’s bad, and I mean really bad.
I was worried about this, but you have a good point
they wouldn't have been taken without good reason
@@kait5758 even during basic abuse I've seen them leave the animal and it breaks my heart so if they took action thank Gosh.
@@squishy2368 well that happens the system is flawed
They would rather keep an animal in a bad home then in a shelter because they would end up putting them down
I hope they got adopted soon after though
The military story, sounds like a story one of my teachers told me, where his roommate had been in the military. There was a weird sound in his car. He meticulously took apart the car outside and lay every piece on the ground until he found the part that was making the noise. Replaced it, and put the car back together.
Depends on what kind of car. I like simple fords because you can take them apart with simple tools. Door, panels, fenders, engine components, will come off with a simple screw driver.
reminds me of a story in a book, "the big book of urban legends":
a wealth doctor had a fancy car with a persistent rattle.
after numerous attempts at fixing it, he finally had the car completely dismantled, and finally found the source of the rattle:
a loose bolt inside a door panel, with a note attached that said, "so you finally found the rattle, you rich SOB!"
The "bolts" part made me laugh so much. I used to be me a black hawk mechanic in the army and I remember seeing so many people get yelled at for not labeling parts clearly. I know he did it just to make it so much harder.
also to stop someone just chucking out these two odd coffee cans that'd been left in the IFV then complaining the commo guys had stolen all the bolts......
"Don't come with me with a problem without a solution" aka "I don't feel like doing my job and helping you". Thats how you get things done wrong ten times instead of right the first time.
The way it's worded sounds worse than it truly is. What they're implying here is "If you have a problem, try to solve it yourself first". Mechanics and programmers alike that i've been friends with agree this is a perfectly normal work environment and in some cases the best way to work. If your superior in that work environment fixes everything, you never get to learn how to resolve those issues on your own and end up relying on them more often.
It's to promote critical thinking and problem solving thought patterns. Now sure, if we're on a hypothetical time crunch and shit just needs to get fixed 2 days ago, such bosses won't mind 9/10. It's when your workers/subordinates come bugging you about every little routine detail and how to fix it that they get annoyed, once you get to running a workshop/department yourself, alot of the time you have mountains of paperwork on TOP of having to help your guys out.
A mechanic that can look at an engine for example and, through a couple runs of trial and error may take a little longer to get the job done that time, but he'll come away from the experience able to remember "X happened that one time I had this issue, lets see if what I did back then works this time too"
@@Rixoli So very true. If you don't train them when you leave or are reassigned they won't be able to fix the items.
@@Rixoli I'm more worried about the dad teaching that to his kid. Childhood is the time you're supposed to learn and ask a shit ton of questions, twlling them to solve it themselves and not bother you is just being a lazy, shitty parent. Its a lot more reasonable in a workplace environment where everyone is supposed to already know what they're doing.
@@lynniewood Actually, telling your kid to try and solve problems themselves is legitimately being a good parent. If you are constantly fixing their problems for them, they will never figure it out for themselves.
I listened to the last story and almost said it may have been too far, then went over it again to remind myself that all OP did was 1. Take care of themselves, and 2. Report actual crimes and felonies their former roommates had committed. It may have been revenge, but those jackasses didn't get anything they didn't already have coming to them; OP just got to be the lucky bastard responsible for flicking the house of cards.
when I was a young adult i had a roommate that took advantage of me to the tune of probably close to $5k all said and done with rent and utilities that I was to nice to notice. I would have loved to have gotten even some petty revenge on, but man this was glorious!
I LOVED the Military story. I am an Army Veteran (92Y or Unit Supply Specialist for everyone else) . . . Motorpool didn't like us either.
In fact, they purposely gave me the worst vehicle they had during my second deployment to Iraq. The thing barely ran at first and they had very little interest in helping me because I wasn't in their company. (They were in Echo company while I was in HQ.) I ordered everything that I could before speaking to their Supply Sergeant. Fortunately, she didn't have the same attitude toward those not in her company. In fact, she was always willing to help me because, as she put it, I was one of her "supply people" . . . and supply personnel always helped each other.
She asked them to order the necessary parts for my vehicle on my behalf (without telling them that it was for me . . . or even which vehicle the parts were for). Once all of the parts were in, I approached the mechanics again with yet another request for them to fix my vehicle. They laughed before telling me that they couldn't because they didn't have the necessary parts . . . I happily provided said parts and nicely asked them to get to work.
Long story short, I had one of the best vehicles in the company by the end of the deployment . . . and the mechanics learned not to mess with me.
Geeze that last guy went savage. But to put it way more blunt than he did, his roommates were stealing his money

Ya know the saying about never pissing off a server or they’ll spit in your food or something?
Yeah, don’t piss off someone who’s good at taking apart electronic or machine items!
To the first story.
When I was little I played Neopets and there was a game where you try to run a business from factory to retail. They advise to not hire too many managers because they wouldn't get much work done on their own and they cost a lot more.
So yeah it's an extremely simple concept that Neopets understood they have no excuse.

Sounds fake to me. It's not legal to turn off utilities in the middle of winter even if the customer is behind on payment. I've had relatives who were frequently behind on payment and always worried about spring coming because then the power could be cut.
I don't get it, why companies nowadays prefer to go through so many hassle instead of keeping their employees. It's literally a fundamental that is teach in business administrations schools.
Let alone going always for the "you need a master degree to do this job, but we will pay you an entry level salary"

My husband was a truckdriver/salesman, He told them in Feb. that he would tale his vacation the first week in June as our daughter was getting married in Arizona. When he went into the office the Monday after his vacation he was told he was fired for taking a week off and not calling in. He reminded the that he was on an approved vacation, (Yes the time off was approved) He was 1 of 7 drivers, the thing is he brought in as much as the other 6, He went to work for their competior, took all their customers with him and his former plant closed within 3 months!

pre-revenge: "NoT My Job, PoUNd SanD"
post-revenge: "baby don't hurt me!"
The motor chief was pissed for a month. He had to fix that damn thing for 3 weeks... So he was really only holding a grudge for 1 week before realizing, that it's kinda funny.
And then they eventually settled the hate between commo and mechanics by crosstraining them.
5:46 i would go nuts if my son ran around with a screw driver disassembling everything around the house lmao

@@esquilax5563 I remember Tom Scott made a vid on that
The only reason the mass walk out worked was because the senior had jobs lined up for all the techs. This probably happened a couple decades ago, b/c now almost every contract has a non-compete clause, which would prevent that scenario as if they all quit like that they would have to find a job in a different field or wait X amount of time to get a job in the same field. That's the only reason companies can pay the little guys so poorly, because they are dependent on the job to live.
Precisely why the ftc has now banned noncompete clauses.
5:29
Most company's who get really top heavy in managers fail
The main reason being is too much money is being spent on them and not enough on getting extra workers and better conditions
This results in alot of issues money wise and often results in corners cut
Most fail due to high turnover rates for staff and general lack of money
Perfect timing right when I'm having my burger

How can 4 roommates be so incompetent that they can't pay bills for even the first month? Ridiculous.
I don’t go onto TH-cam until R/slash post every morning
I'm glad that last OP got such a nuclear revenge on their housemates. Neglect of your dependents, like pets and children is unforgivable. I hope those criminal charges taught those horrible people not to take on responsibilities they aren't serious about in the future.
With 26 1/2 years in the Army ( E-1 to E-7 and WO-1 TO CW3) I did a lot of such things, never to this magnitude! I salute you.
The revenge stories be the fuel to me ignoring my important class.... 🥲
This happened to me at my old job. I used to work as a lease broker for industrial equipment. There were about 10 of us working for one boss. He was real shady and would tell us to make up any lie we had to to secure the lease. The finance guy who handled all the communications between us and the actual lender was a young guy just trying to establish himself in the financial sector. I don’t remember what it was exactly that the boss asked him to do, but he up and quit one morning because he was asked to do something illegal that could have gotten him in big trouble just so the boss could secure his precious lease. When lunchtime came around all but one of the rest of us agreed we were going to go to lunch together and never come back. I learned a big lesson about accepting a job from someone with a questionable character.
We love watching 10 seconds after posting 😂
Yes we do
The last one made me giddy and smile super wide. I hate toxic friendships and just toxic relationships in general, so in my opinion, OP did their pro-revenge so well I would probably pay them to sabotage someone. :D
Everyone quitting at once is the wrong reaction. I guess they were not in a union? That would have been the perfect time to organize, strike, and make demands.
There are very few unions in capitalist countries such as the U.S.
I find making this while cooking eggs for breakfast is a great idea! You laugh and then flip the pan! Boom, breakfast for the dog😂 I kid I love the vids!
Me when I saw this post: OH ANOTHER SWEET PROREVENGE OR LETS SAY KARMA!
People at the top always forgot that we bottom feeders (Minimum wage workers who do all the job while they sit infront of their computer doing nothing) are the very foundation of a company.
I'll never understand why companies promote this sort of behavior at work. Everyone is different, some people are better fit for management, others are better fit for the lower ranks, but they are ALL equally important, so why treat any one "class" better than the other? it dosen't promote competition between your employees, creating that special "magic" that "gets shit done", it creates bitter work environments, resentment and toxic work places.
My brother did that motor pool shop job in Germany in the 1980's. His solution to mechanical problems was to Frankenstein other machines to make the one that was needed work. His team was fast but there was a revolving pool of broken machines. His superiors loved him and never found out about the broken vehicles.
There should be a company that takes complaints from other businesses and helps stage mass walk outs and help find jobs for those willing to quit there current job that way it would have to be a majority deal for the complaints to be valid
I've been in that type of company, so what I think they wanted by reducing everyone's pay but increasing management's it was simply to get management on board with whatever they wanted to do to the other employees, they get payed reeeeally well to basically betray and manipulate people under them
One reason why companies stay afloat is that they figure out how to get the US government to pay out money to them. This is something that needs to stop.
first story = this is what you have unions for...aka... documents that have to be shown for the staff..cant be buried or such ,because management HAVE to also DIRECTLY notify the union representative of such documents or be considered to act in a deceptive manner.
the beginning of the story about taking things apart sounds like me a s a kid lol
same here, I would take apart my toys and anything electronic then when I was interested in magnets, I would take apart old hardrives or dvd players and take the magnets out of it.
Oh, the number of times I wish I had the foresight of that Sargent! That was just beautiful!!! The Bradley Fighting Vehicle... The most overengineered, back to the drawing board military vehicle in existence.

The begging sentence sounds like its happons every month for then.
In winter? How did they shut off gas and water in winter? Usually there are regulations protecting against shutting those off during winter months.
Many, MANY companies end up that way. You just don't hear about them because usually it's a problem with the owners' business philosophy from the get-go and the company or product never gets off the ground to start with, so they never have enough aggrieved employees to make it likely that their story ends up online.
The answer to the first question is simple: Most companies are aware of this risk and are careful when it goes about cutting pays of hard-to-replace employees or too radical raises of the pays of the management. The act of the directors has been extremely careless and there is no wonder that company went bankrupt.
OH MY LORD HOW IS THE LAST ONE NOT NUCLEAR
I was a mechanic as well but I fix guns (91F) our 91F group has a "10% rule" this means if we go to check your weapons and the ten percent of the weapons we check are dirty we will not inspect or fix any of the weapons until they are clean. We can also deadline weapons if there's a problem that will either cause the weapon not to work or kill somebody. Please don't give us a good enough reason to deadline most of a company's weapons for petty reasons.
At least in the US, those new contracts would likely be unenforceable. When you add new stipulations, such as non-compete, you have to give consideration (something of value) in return. They lowered compensation AND added extra stipulations. Good on those employees for walking out
He messed up "bfv" so many times😂 we got bvf, bfv, and bff
The first story in the call centre sounds like Sitel. Worst company to work for. They make a massive fuss about being supportive of mental health and helping you in anyway possible but as soon you ask them for help, they basically tell you to fuck off.
RE: the BFV. Someone, who knows who or when, had installed a non-shipboard telephone in the ship’s Log Office. Basically a standard (of its day) wall phone. Shipboard phone handsets latch into a little pin so they cannot fall off the hook. My Chief Petty Officer said he was done trying official channels to get the thing removed and asked me if I could do it. No problem! I’m very good at disassembling things! I was done in 10-15 minutes including find suitable tools. The shop that should have done it responded promptly when it was discovered none of the phones in the entire aft half of ship worked after my removal of the phone that (A) never should have been installed in the first place, and (B) whose removal just didn’t make it on the appropriate shop’s work list.

I've listened to the military revenge story a dozen times. Today I idly decided to do some googling.
This whole time I've been picturing a Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) as a Jeep, basically. Jeeps are designed to be disassembled and reassembled fairly easily, so this revenge would be very annoying but not particularly devastating. How wrong I was.
A BFV Is what most of us picture when we hear the word "tank." Disassembling a dang tank. OP did indeed engage in thermonuclear war.
I now get my husband to listen to these stories haha. Love your videos!
Funny how you said BFF, BVF, and BFV interchangeably. More power to you 👍🏼👍🏼
Every time I saw it it turned into a game which one he would use 😂
With the last story, let me get this straight.. At some point OP started paying all the bills, and his friends - instead of using the money on bills - used the money on themselves?
I‘m always thankful how you goddamn consistent your videos are, everyday at 9am, thank you for making such great content
That Army story of two E5s pissing each other off was the best thing I have heard all month.
As sensei Wu says, the best way to defeat your enemy is to make them your friend.

...and the best way to make him your friend is with creative revenge that makes them grumble and yet admire you.
