mdwhite999, to maliciouscompliance in How to close down Production 101

Did you end up returning to work for them?

sleepyducky,

Oh hell no, I had already relocated to another city in the meantime. Plus the HR manager was present when I tendered in my resignation and said nothing. So no way I would return there

ethane, to maliciouscompliance in You really need to think about what is more important...

Manager: "be my bitch or you're fired"

Worker: "k bye"

Manager: shocked Pikachu

c2h6, to maliciouscompliance in Admin work matters!

Some companies succeed partially because of management, others succeed DESPITE their management...

If I were Bottom, I might not quit if my pay never decreased. I'd take the hit on my dignity to continue getting a Director salary for a worker's job...

ethane, to maliciouscompliance in [REPOST] You can't continue working from home because you go idle in chat too often

What's with managers and micromanaging? Its as if people have nothing better to do.

People in the office work the same amount of time. The rest of the time they are talking to other people distracting them from their work or their pretending to work. These antiquated ideas of productivity, primarily working in an office makes you more productive, need to die.

but the chatter makes you "productive"! ...somehow

Love these stories, thanks for sharing.

darcy,

Thank you for reading it.

chads of the world unite!

Ah, the classic tale of "Manager calls employee's bluff, loses and panics". Always makes for a good story.

bob, to maliciouscompliance in "Don't touch my bag!" OK, I'll do exactly that!

Never insult the person trying to help you.

darcy,

If only everyone thought like you. I don't mind being treated like I'm invisible, some folks are just busy or tired. But some folks actively spend time and energy trying to be rude.

bob, to maliciouscompliance in [REPOST] Get rid of my vacation? Have fun replacing me.

Moral of the story, don’t fuck with people’s vacation time.

Just treat your employees well. How hard can that be?

thanks for contributing!

and oh man high school gymnastics/athletics is almost as prone to such scandals as priests and altar boys. I'm glad the teams stood together!

Abridgedlife,

In hindsight it’s crazy how many adults had to fail us to get there but I’m glad the boys team helped us call bullshit

darcy,

Oh darling I have stories about male teachers not understanding how periods work that will make you cringe!

bob, to maliciouscompliance in "Don't touch my bag!" OK, I'll do exactly that!

You are absolutely a good storyteller. I enjoyed this.

darcy,

Thank you, you're too kind.

tom, to maliciouscompliance in Dispose of financial records? You got it, boss.

So I once made the mistake permitting a client to store some (say a dozen) boxes of financial records in my home for a couple of weeks. By ‘permit’, I mean they just dumped them there, and I didn’t physically restrain them from leaving.

You chose.... poorly.

Saigonauticon,

Haha...yeah. I'm an academic at heart and my first few years at running a business were a complete disaster. I've since graduated into being a mediocre businessperson, which is probably about as far as I intend to get.

tom,

that sounds like you made it. one day you'll be a good businessperson!

Saigonauticon,

Maybe someday, but it's exhausting. I would probably be much happier if I just closed shop and went to do a PhD. I might even be able to afford to, in a couple of years.

Then maybe teach engineering in some unknown university in the countryside. Or run a machine shop that helps artists make things. Or just build alarmingly large robots for no reason at all.

"Here, have a look at reality"

Your boss, for some ass-backwards reason: "No"

sleepyducky,

I still don’t know why she didn’t even think for a second there could be an error in the system.

Unless maybe she was hiding something, maybe stealing funds and hiding them as overstock?

axtualdave,

Unless maybe she was hiding something, maybe stealing funds and hiding them as overstock?

What's a little embezzlement between friends, right?

I can't think of a good reason beyond theft and/or embezzlement that the boss would react so strongly to missing inventory.
