Story 1: Wow, even if Jim didn't own most of the IP of the company. What she did was possibly the dumbest thing possible, The ADA lawsuit would be massive assuming this was in the USA.
Doom on Karen! She went scorched Earth on herself, and ruined the company. 😂
it was such a moronic action. can't understand how people like this think.
I'd be putting signed divorce papers on the kitchen table
As clearly his nasty narcissistic wife doesn't give a crap about anyone but herself not even her daughter
Everyone knows when flying you need to be at least an hour early or more before your flight leaves and his wife going to Starbucks for coffee with 15 minutes before the flight
Is down right childish and disrespectable not only to her husband but Everyone one else involved
I certainly hope the cow had to pay for another ticket with her money
I'm glad he left the cow behind
Is she brain dead or something as the tickets can cost several hundred to several thousand dollars
I hope that 5 buck of star bucks coffee was worth a divorce?
They dont thats the problem.@@shaoronmd
I think in most other countries Jim would be on retirement instead of work every day
Story 1, people like Karen, that destroy a thriving business, are perfect examples of why nobody should be allowed to have a "golden parachute" if their company is doing worse when they leave the company.
Typical diversity hires. They are everywhere nowadays, most aren't in positions to destroy companies, but destroy plenty of their colleagues lives and careers instead though.
I'm not sure I would have called a business that would have fallen apart with the firing of one person with no backup plan should the loss of those patents potentially happening as a thriving business. Just one on borrowed time.
@@blitzwolfmon8297it's definitely a business the problem is the new CEO not reading the contract. In their line of business having state-of-the-art machine and exclusively on that machine is their past and future.
@@blitzwolfmon8297 That failure required that the company fired the guy, they could just have let him work until he keeled over or retired.
Geisa Williams, Former CEO of the California power utility PG&E
In January 2019 Williams left PG&E as the company struggled to deal with legal and financial repercussions associated with a series of devastating California wildfires, which occurred in 2017 and 2018. Despite losing more than $6 billion, Williams received a pay raise of 8.12% in 2018. PG&E filed for bankruptcy immediately after Williams' departure.
Williams is criticized for a $10mm+ pay packaging including $2.6mm in severance pay when she left PG&E as the company prepared to enter bankruptcy. The Los Angeles Times reported that, "Williams’ compensation encompassed numerous perks, including a car and driver, a $51,000 security system for her home, health club and “executive health” services worth $5,453 and financial services subsidized to the tune of $7,980."
Number one rule of being a manager in a new company is to first learn how things work as is before making any changes. Karen didn't even ask what Jim did at the company before jumping to immediate conclusions. Heck, when one company I worked for was bought out by a larger Chinese company, it took 2 years before they decided to lay off half of the staff (but thankfully gave us a very generous severance, paying us for 60 days during which we didn't have to come into the office or do any actual work, and then additionally paying us the value of all our restricted stock afterward).
That's systems thinking for you
They made sure they understood the company. Their move might have been right or wrong but at least they didn't do it the first day.
Always get to know your employees and figure out who is important and who isn't all employees are important but there's a scale of importance
That happened to me back at Trac auto... the ceo was an idiot.
Arrogance can kill a company. I have worked with both men and women like this. He or she has the unique understanding and ability to create products and tools . I think more companies have been ruined because of this type of arrogant person.
Right those big bosses often barely know how to use a computer and think they are the one holding the company together. The higher up the more useless they act.
Keep.dream.this video is a fantasy
Stupid wife is the a hole for putting her husband through all that crap. She deliberately tried to sabotage him and he should not have married her because of her attitude towards his daughter.
So maybe he is the a-hole after all (but towards his daughter).
Good point and accurate.@@animusadvertere3371
@@animusadvertere3371 wtf, what kind of an asshat response is that! She was clearly the asshole
Even if you're in an "at will state" you still can't be fired for a discriminatory reason.
theres alot of rules for at will states i found out
If you can't find a "legitimate" reason to fire someone, you're just not trying.
@@bytoadynolastname6149 Either that or you have an actual hard working employee.
He had a contract so “ at will” wouldn’t have come into play.
Trust me on this. If they want to get rid if you they will figure out an excuse
If Jim is an engineer then his job probably was to sit around looking at papers, so she fired him for doing his job.
I would have left the wife behind the first time. I HATE being late for things and never for airplane flights.
First story: Yeah, the company deserves to die because they were stupid enough to hire Karen. And the board should be financially punished in addition to the company closing, but they won't be.
The board kinda did, they had stock in the company which is how most were on that board. So the company failing meant all that stock was now worthless.
And Keren must have become a joke in the community. A funny joke that essentially makes her a leper.
And what if this company is located in a 'must hire by numbers' state?
@@mgk920 "We hire based on affirmative action and not qualifications"
Dei hire....no merit, just looks
there is a right way to earn respect and a wrong way, being a karen is the wrong one
😊
You can be a boss and manage your staff from above, or you can be a leader and manage your staff from the front
Story 2. NTA. Tell her next time, if she's not ready to leave when you tell her, especially if it's when visiting your daughter, you will leave to the airport without her and she can find her own way.
I have to wonder though. Is this only his daughter and she's a step-mother trying to drive a wedge between the two.
Friggen agreed. I dont understand how adults, in my experience usually women (but that may be because I've only dated women and friends who are flakes fall off fast and I dont see the personal side with just friends) can get through life having NO time management skills. It isnt hard at all... and if you find yourself having trouble with it and being late, set your clocks forward 15 minutes and TREAT them like it's the real time until you've trained yourself to do it right. It's part of growing up! I think the thing that really kills me about this is that I was taught that if someone doesnt make the effort to be prompt, to not make you wait for them, they dont respect your time, nor you as a person... and it's really sad how many people manage to stay in relationships while acting like that.
Well get there when we get there/go with the flow = Zero respect for other people or their time
@@samanthasierra314 in day to day life I go with the flow but that said you can be respectful of other people's time and go with the flow. Tbh that sounded like him making excuses for her. Truly going with the flow would have been getting the closer coffee.
Airline story: NTA I don't even fly that much but I know you have to be extra punctual because airline times are like crashing waves, unpredictable and change when they want. You were 100% right to wanna be getting ready 2 hours early knowing this exact thing would happen. You were right again when your wife wanted Starbucks and not the other coffee shop. You called her multiple times insisting she hurry up to the point you were forced to step on or off the gate. You chose your daughter because she waa disappointed once already, not your fault your wife can't manage her time.
Was OP TAH in this story. Probably not IF the wife is a seasoned traveller and is more than capable of looking after herself. But not all wives (and some husbands) are so. They rely on their other half to look after them. If the wife fell into this category, then OP would definitely have been TA.
The only asshole thing he did was to "plead with the attendant to wait just a little bit longer". There's over a hundred other people on that airplane who may have connections they would potentially miss with repercussions stemming from those, all because his wife decided she wanted starbucks.
Agreed, the husband is already patient enough, but his wife is already starting to cross the limit, next time it happened again, it's her fault, not the husband
Apparently the wife is the step-mother and do it on purpose because she hate her step-daughter
Story 1: OP is NTA, but I suspect his wife's passive aggressive tactics to avoid seeing his daughter will continue if not worse in. Clearly she resents OP's daughter. Since the daughter is of an age to live independently, this may not cause many problems, but it is a potential source of trouble that may continue indefinitely.
Story 2, the wife actually hates OPs daughter, how can he not see the redflags.
And Meg wanted OP to miss the flight, which is why she was mad that he boarded the plane- Her sabotage backfired
OP really needs to reconsider his marriage to Lady Tremaine, I mean Meg!
He is desperate to be a simp
nah it dosnt seem like she really hates the daughter, maybe more like a subconciouse sabotage because jealouse
@@nancyomalley6286hahha fck. I thought of this as some medieval era sht hahaha thank you for the laghs 😂
She will never find a management job again. Imagine her explaining to you, that she was fired from her previous job because she wrongfully terminated an employee so they were sued and accidentally removed core systems from the company costing them millions.
Im sure she will leave that out of her Resume
What the Karen did in story 1 goes beyond stupid. It was also illegal. What on earth would give the Karen the right and create such nonsense by going around, imposing upper age limits, fibbing right and left, and whatever she damn well pleases. When you work in places where you are in public, you display anything that is discriminatory, you get fired on the spot. No 2nd chance.
Exactly
On top of that that arrogant narcissistic Karen should have been completely humiliated and sued into oblivion for discrimination
I worked with an old bloke over a decade ago... great man, hard working and swift (industrial safety sector)... he was late 80's early 90's before he retired
@@darksaber7678 I agree. There is an old saying, "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you."
Story 2: NTA, your wife is 43 she is more than old enough to manage her time better and be where she needs to be on time (in this case at the boarding gate).
Story 2 (update 1): And bam the root of the problem.. Your wife is intentional making you late so she has to spend less time with your daughter (her step-daughter). The only reason she is telling you she wants to go too, is so she can pull this crap and separate you and your daughter now that she is an adult.
Agreed. It sounds like the wife is trying to make OP choose between his daughter or her.
Yeah and she has had the daughter since she was 6 and kids that age want to bond. She didn't even have an ex mom to get in the way yet she still pushed the child away. Of course she's not going to think she's a priority now she's grown up, and she has to be there all the time to make sure daughter doesn't "steal" the father.
It's not sure it's intentional. Considering her behavior so does it sound more like lack of motivation. That doesn't make her innocent, but it's not some conspiracy to cause problems.
I’d be making sure she is paying with her own money. The first time I would have been out of the house on time. She would have gotten the message.
Story 1: This is exactly what happens when you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. And in an effort to kick some ass and stomp her authority, Karen ended up desperately trying to kiss one to stay alive in the company.
Karen: "Nowadays we use something called 'technology.'" Yes, Karen, but that is JIM'S TECHNOLOGY.
Women don't handle authority well.
Sadly, upper manglement getting too full of themselves, ruining a company with bad decisions, and employees suffering for it is not rare. Examples I'm aware of are Tandem Computers and Sun Microsystems. Upper manglement misjudged what their customers needed and the direction of computer technology and as the companies decayed, their employees were hurt.
Atari and Commodore Computers both did the same in the mid 1980s.
Happens a lot, why do they not learn is the real question.
Story one: it was at this moment that Karen knew she fucked up.
"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!" Textbook example! 😂
I read this in the voice over voice.😂
Story 2, OP's wife deserves to get stuck in a 3rd world country pulling this type of thing, but without her having her passport or any form of payment method. She was a dumb ass that got left behind because she fucked around and found out that she's not entitled to anything.
idk how this guy stayed with this b*tch long enough to make a child god damn
western modern women.
AND emotionally manipulated the poor guy and played victim afterwards, to the point where he had to ask the Internet
Nah! 3rd world countries' women have values and class. Keep your modern women 😂
OP2 is NTA. He should have made their travel arangements seperate much sooner, and Meg can pay for her own non refundable tickets out of "her" money, not "his or their" money. I just can't see that marriage lasting much longer, but somehow, I think Meg would be more prompt when it comes to divorce court hearings. Great stories, Ripe. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
These fake scenarios are getting creative.
The next one is You having a girlfriend
@@reymicroc I already have one, talk about yourself.
I mean, maybe, but, stuff happens y'know? The truth is stranger than fiction.
I would like to know for certain if any of these are real. I’d hate to make a real comment on a fabricated story.
@@BooshMasterOriginal u sound like the ultimate badass
First Story: They hired from outside instead of promoting. The problem with this is that to properly manage you have to KNOW the system, good or bad. If you don't KNOW it you don't know how it works and you don't know what you are doing.
Story one.... In my 66 years, I've seen this happen too often. New boss comes in and immediately cocks his/her hind leg and pees all over everything to mark his/her territory. "Change for the sake of change"! It often ruins everything. 🤨
Unpaid wages story... OP needed to report that owner to the proper authorities immediately after refusing to pay the employees. Eventually she did, so the owner finally gets her commuppance. That entire business needed shutdown.
The employees should have gone on strike. No pay no work!!
Lesson 1 when you come in as a new manager: do not change anything until you understand how it works. And even then, be very careful.
Story 1 Karen. Gross incompetence like that should be prosecutable by law. The fact that CEOs can just tank a company, walk away with no personal loss, and go on to probably do more of the same is something that is far too unchecked in our current state of capitalism. It's predatory and criminal, and it's the people clocking in everyday doing the work that get impacted the most.
Capitalism!? What!? Because nothing ever happens in socialistic utopias?
Yeah right the same people who pay for SELF SERVING legislation holding themselves accountable to the law? LMAO.
"staring at papers" can be important work.
typical karens, always being power hungry on everything, and greedy too.
Story 2 NTA : I'm going through a similar situation with my 75 year old mother who I live with as her care giver. She always wants to do something before she has to get to an appointment and makes us late.
If it's a doctor's appointment, she may be trying to avoid going because either she doesn't want to hear bad news about her health, or she doesn't want to hear what she's doing wrong. The doctor's office can cause anxiety in a lot of people
I fully agree with this
The problem is that she makes the appointment to talk to the doctor then doesn't tell them what they need to help her
@@Catherinewelter-z6d Very frustrating!
My grandmother was like that for a while before she got really sick and couldn't leave the care facility she was in...and she was only there because my family wasn't able to take care of her due to stairs but even when she was still living in her own home, she would seem to not care about being anywhere on time...
I think it was more due to living alone for so long...she also had issues with prices with freaking out about how expensive things were for basic groceries for a long while which created a few messes
The lion's share of blame lies with the board of directors for hiring Karen. It seems that she got a job she was not qualified for. Was it because she's a woman?
probably the same way that Headboard Harris got every job she had, and in a case like that, it’s not who you know, it’s who you blow
You know that was why. Women have detonated the west.
It was because the board were all men, and were hired despite being utterly incompetent, because they were men.
@@fulalbatrossit's not that they were all men. It's that they have connections. And only connections. Like why do you think the Karen is there in the first place. Connections. She have connections to people that she knows and she knows how to press those buttons
Story 1: Karen really showed her incompetence not knowing enough about the company by firing Jim, that was embarrassing.😂😂😂
I got one thing to say about the first story: THREE MONTHS!!!
Story 1 is a perfect example of what happens when a person who didnt earn their position and got it to fill a quota or through nepotism can do. Any one who truly earned their position would have understood that if a wheelchair bound 70 year old man was still around it was for a reason and would have looked into it extensively before ever even speaking to the man.
It's a fake story that's done the rounds for years. Multiple versions all pretty much similar with minor changes...and always no sources, of course. Lots of things on the internet are not always quite what people posting them make them out to be.
@@vallejomach6721 I can see that but it really happens a good friend of mine had something similar happen he was a brew master for a small craft brewer most of the recipes they used her created they signed a contract with one of the big companies and they sent out a sales agent/ brand rep for the brewery. When taking a walk through the brewery the new rep didn't like the cut of his jib for some reason or another and pulled some strings and had him fired he took all of his recipes with him so when it came time to brew the next season beer they had no recipes. They tried sueing him but they were his intellectual property and wasn't getting paid to make beer but for the use of the recipes he created for the owner of the bar/ brewery.
It's not hard to see this really happening
First story... It was not 'jim' that destroyed the company, it was arrogance. And we have seen many stories where arrogance leads to the downfall of an entire company. If not 'jim' then some other reasons would have destroyed that company, because it was doomed the second an arrogant person was made CEO, its that simple.
Some people just have no business wielding power.
Given just a little power, they become arrogant and stupid.
Given a lot of power? They go insane.
Equal opportunity is fine. But really some people should really just stay home and not do anymore than that. Because everything they touch, they destroy.
@@gendoruwo6322 Well, arrogance is one thing that is an equal opportunity trait! lol But as men tend to be more logically minded rather than emotional, men in power are often slightly better at grudgingly containing their arrogance a little bit more.
Did the workers in the last story have mental health problems? Who keeps working when you're owed thousands by the owner?
I was born in 1971, and to the literal peeps with the Karen name I had relationships with who were very good people, I feel really bad for you.
This is exactly why you examine contracts BEFORE you toss a person out of your employ.
This is why you do not assume things about a person based on age or whether they are disabled.
Boss Karen had something to prove, but failed to be sure she had all of the information necessary to prove her competency.
Knowing his wife is a severe procrastinator I hope he bought travel insurance or paid extra for refundable tickets. Good for him for getting there to help Jess as planned. His wife should have been able to turn in her ticket and get rescheduled for the next flight at little or no cost.
Karen CEO claiming it was "her" company. Lady, you are the Managing Director. You are *responsible* for the company, meaning it is your ass if it fails.
"I don't know how an old crippled man managed to stay in the industry for so long"
That could have been a golden opportunity to think. It's quite possible the hard to think of reason, would be quite unique... possibly a very good reason...
Not the a-hole, but had to expect that reaction when leaving her behind!
No buts. Poor guy got emotionally manipulated by the woman, she played victim to the point where the dude had to ask the Internet...
"company" everyone is harmed, the "CEO" is a individual should be held accountable, "prove" is in the change thus CEO
the CEO is just an employee of the company if company went down that hard she wont just have ADA suits but all of the shareholders wanting her head on a plate (attachment to body, optional)
Story 2: NTA. My husband was just like OP's wife. I left without him many times, then I started telling him that things began 30 minutes earlier than they actually did. Fortunately he never did this at the airport for a flight. The wife only has herself to blame.
When planning family stuff, we always told my aunt that things would start 2 hours earlier than actually planned, she was always that late.
How is HE the Ahole when SHE walked off?
Because no matter what, it's always the man's fault.
Those workers sat to the side and listened to karen try to ruin old mans life. They deserve it just as much. They might of been on his side, but they didn't do anything.
I would rather be 15 minutes early than 1 minute late for anything.
i know that feeling, because when i was in the military, it went like this, “If you’re early, you’re on time, If you’re on time, you’re late, and if you’re late, Go With God”
Amen 🙏🏻
When a new person takes over a company, their first order of business is to learn how the company is functioning. They need to observe and keep their fingees out of procedures until they can honestly see if changes are necessary. The number ine rule for any new owner or manager is, "if it ain't broken don't fix it." If it's working and profits are excellent, let it be.
As to missed flights, did the op discuss flight times with his wife? Or make the decision himself? Maybe if he had discussed flight times with his wife they could have agreed on one that suited them both. As to her wanting a specific coffee. Why? Especially because she had to travel away from the gate. By insisting she had to have THAT coffee, she showed an immaturity befitting a five-year-old child. Water is the only liquid she has to have. Special coffee that takes her away from the gate, with limited time, can wait.
It has to be agreed, that couple seem to have money coming out of their ears if they can miss their flight then buy more tickets. It does seem strange that they would fly separately just because the wife doesn't take flight times seriously. But what's to guarantee she won't miss her flight because she just has to have something or doesn't leave home to be at the airport in time to board the plane?
Most USA airlines will give some sort of ticket credit for issues like Ops so they use that credit and pay for the difference in price on the next flight. That could easily be next to nothing or double all together.
Most of the ones that centre around ableism usually make me really really angry.
Not this one though, because the comeuppance was absolutely glorious.
"If something works, don't touch it."
There is a reason why the vast majority of leaders in every kind of environment are men (from companies, to governments), and this is just an example of it (the first one with the CEO).
I read 1-2 years ago about a woman that started her own company, and she wanted only women to work there because they don't need men as the strong and independent they are. The company lasted only a few months before going down.
@leaving wife at the airport: NTA. You warned her. You tried to do things earlier. This happened before and you missed a flight and lost money. If she doesn't suffer consequences for her actions she won't learn to correct them. And if they keep happening she's just blaming others for her own mistakes and not owning up to it.
2nd story: Dude enjoy the quiet! NTA.
About the flight story. NTA, I'm glad you left her behind.
How much do you want to bet that Karen slept her way into that CEO position? Because she clearly wasn't qualified for that job.
That woman is how old and still has no sense of time? She just learned a valuable lesson. She thought she is important enough to hold a plane, she learned otherwise. It's very disrespectful.
Most CEOs get there by ass kissing the right people. Once you were a CEO once...you can get new positions of similar ranks (penthouse management level) thanks to the built in parachutes. You can destroy company after company and people will STILL hire you to be in charge.
@@Khobai It doesn't help that a lot of companies do it as that makes the pickings for female CEO's really poor.
Nah, people who sleep their way to the top often know enough to not make waves. They know they are out of their depth. They do not come in all "respect my authoritah", they make sure they do as little work as possible, and the most important aspect of it is always "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
This type of arrogance, on the other hand, is indicative of "MBA brain rot". It is not a gendered issue. These are people who are filled with all the newest "management ideas" and sent off into the wild. Full of fire, brimstone, piss, vinegar, and management buzzwords. They are ageist, sexist, classist, ableist, racist, insert any kind of bigotry that would make them feel self-important. Their entire breadth of experience is "management", and often, said "management" has done nothing but make life difficult for people who are actually doing the work. They just do not see any consequences of their actions, because they are "management" and for the last decade, thanks to an extremely permissive financial environment, company value has completely divorced from the work actually done - so they ruin workplaces, still make money for their "investors" through financial shenanigans like short-selling, and leave some chumps holding the bag as they jump off with their golden parachutes.
Advice to any company owner: If the CV says "MBA" on it, do not let the idiot anywhere near the company. You'll see it crash and burn within a year. No exceptions.
I bet my job she did, so many unqualified people get into companies this way and ruin them, but since they can blackmail them the bosses keep them. Is loosing millions worth that?
Story 2 is one that was in newspapers. The wife was not the biological mother of the daughter and already did things like this in the past just so her husband couldn't see his daughter.
I hated traveling with my mom for the same reason.. 'oh its fine we can do whatever it is she wantsed to do..' and then we were late and ahhhhhhh. i like to be places with a few minutes to spare, i'd rather screw around on my phoine in a waiting room than cause issues for other people..
My mum was the opposite, she would always make sure we were at the location early
The Story I heard was it was his daughter from another relationship prior to his current wife.
Yup, this sounds like a copycat story. Or copy/paste. Either way it's definitely spread around for a lil while now.
To the guy whose wife has no concept of time when travelling - don't go with her next time. Tell her to make her own way there and you can be assured that YOU will arrive on time!
Yes. You have to wait at airports.
That airport wife got what she deserved.
I’d say greed, arrogance, and incompetence are the three big killers of entire companies.
Howdy Ripe and Ripe Stars!

First story happened to a friend of mine. After a new young HR manager was hired, he fired my friend who was the manager of production, because he thought those responsibilities could be included in someone's else's job. Well, my friend held one patent for a manufacturing process they used in the company. Instead of saving money by firing him, they had to pay him over a million € compensation to be allowed to continue that process. Lol. And he quickly found a new job.
Story 1. OP is definitely NTA. TLDR: my uncle missed his boarding time on a cruise, and 14 years later was late to his own burial!
Things like plane flights and cruise ships will not wait for a passenger that is late. My family loves to cruise, and my uncle is just like OPs wife, we call him "Last minute, Larry." Anyway, in 2008 my family went on a 10 day cruise for a reunion. We had close to 30 family members, including Uncle Larry. We all expressed the importance to everyone that when they disembark from the ship, they MUST be back by the scheduled time as unless it is a passenger under 18, the ship will not wait for anyone. We were in Belize, and our next island was Mahogany Bay. Then it was a 2 day sail back to our USA port. Well, can you guess who made it back to the dock in Belize 1 hour after our ship left?......If you guessed Uncle Larry, you win a prize! Also, guess who didn't speak or understand Spanish? Correct again, Uncle Larry. Now, typically, when a passenger misses the ship, they have to buy a ticket for an island hopper (a small propeller plane that hops from island to island), at their own expense, and meet the ship at the next port. However, Uncle Larry did not get back to the doctor until 6 pm, and when he attempted to purchase a plane ticket, there was nothing available until the day after our ship left Mahogany Bay. So, my uncle had 2 choices, 1 get a regular flight back to the USA and meet us there in 3 days, or hire a private island hopper for $3,900. Considering all his belongings and medications were on the ship, he had no choice but to pay for the island hopper. Uncle Larry was never late to anything for the following 14 years he lived, however funnily enough on the trip from the funeral home to the cemetery we hit really bad traffick, and so we got to the cemetery 40 minutes later than we were supposed to, which caused a delay in his burial due to other burials being done after him. So, all in all uncle Larry (although obviously not his fault) was nearly 2 hour late to his own burial! RIP Last Minute Larry, we love and miss you!
As a CEO, it's better if you don't do anything, than make a wrong decision... a CEO is kinda like a politician, they do their best work, when they don't do anything at all, and just allow employees to do their job. xD
2nd story? not the A hole. Acording to all evidence, they tried to warn her. Told her the risks, and tried to call her, only to get ghosted for multible attempts. They tired, and failed. He had to choose between angering his wife, or letting his daughter down. A no win scenario.
People who are sufficiently late multiple times to the point of missing multiple flights are the epitome of passive aggressive.
You cannot. Why are someone because of their disability? If they're able to do the job, you cannot fire them over it.
My wife is exactly like the wife in story 2...she would be late to her own damn funeral. Church? 30 plus minutes late. Dinner with friends? 45 minutes to an hour late. Breakfast in the morning after I cook and prepare everything including coffee? 2 to 3 hours late.
in regards to the first story: I was actually legitimately laughing after hearing what happened after Jim got fired.
I mean I understand that women in a CEO position have it hard but they also got the remember that they're not invincible Titans. and a very important business thing is to always check everyone's contracts before firing them. because you never know if something is in there that can bring down the company.
and it's quite funny one person can give a company an enormous amount of Good Fortune but that nobody realizes it until it's gone.
I mean What was she thinking? I mean there has to be a reason that guy was around for so long in the company. also did she not think that the guy could Sue her back for a wrongful firing? I definitely am on board with this one. She was only in charge for free months and she single-handedly cost the company millions of Dollars and their competitor is now doing much better and doing the jobs that they could have been doing if she had just bothered to leave one guy alone.
I hope she's working in a McDonald's… cleaning the bathrooms… and the child play Center after somebody vomited in there. because I definitely think that her reputation will follow her as the woman that single handly took down an entire company in only three months. Unattently.
A Thousand Greetings Ripe & Disnii,, sorry I missed a Comment yesterday,, but I was Banned by RUclips yesterday because of something I Apparently said in comments,, but Great stories as always,, 😹😹😹😹😹😹
Never give a power hungry person power stuff like story one will happen
being a good oral willy washer dont makes you good management material
ALWAYS READ THE CONTRACTS. If word gets out why that Karen got fired she'll basically be unhirable
Very first rule in a business EVER !
*NEVER TRY TO FIX WHAT IS NOT BROKEN*
Do not mess with your Engineers. We are dealing with complex problems for a living and know how to cause them with little effort
The reason for this womans complete failure was stated at 1:05. If you're trying to "prove yourself" after you've gotten a new position, you clearly should not be in that position. If you haven't proven yourself before getting there then you shouldn't be there.
Law of Peter. Or was Peter effect.
Man these videos just keep getting better, Ripe!
Especially ones where Karens seriously shoot themselves in the foot for their own ego
Appreciate the kind words, thanks mate 🙏🏻
@@RipeStories no, thank YOU for raising Karen Awareness
Story 2- OP needs to “Cut Slingload” with his wife, because she is nothing but a huge ‘Boat Anchor’
He is to brain washed by his wife. I mean his daughter who he says " she never says anything bad about anyone" but was telling him her Stepmother is not treating her right. Guy just did not care because he wanted a woman to raise his daughter
how to start a SMALL business, hire a woman to run a very LARGE company
Airline: NTA, she caused so many problems and incurred so much extra costs.
To Ripe: The price of a flight within the US is usually around 150$. A little more if you try to fly during peak hours on peak days.
behaviors speak much louder than words. The stepmother is a nightmare and is passive aggressive beyond belief.
The last story was likely the girls actions that got the business shut down. In my experience the Labor department is very slow to act and slower to punish any one in violation. The fact she was a minor was likely the only reason they did any thing. I've had tons of jobs that violate breaks, have off the clock work etc and nothing more than a "Warning" ever got done to the company.
Violate a break of a 15 year old though two or three times and you can get a place shut down lol..
OP's wife won't talk to him after SHE missed the flight? I know a lot of husbands that would be happy that their wife has shut up!😂😂😂
Story 1 sounds similar to my dad's job. He was basically fired for no reason after a new guy came in as the new boss. Said that he needed younger workers. Long story short they lost alot of money because all of their new people didn't know what they were doing.
This is why assistant directors exist, and someone should have briefed her on 'jim's' role in the company, before she was given the keys, and decided to fire him.
The OP is the first story really buried the lede by not mentioning the issues between his wife and her stepdaughter. The woman drags her feet like a toddler who doesn't want to go to bed. I'm glad OP is letting her deal with going or not going to the airport.
Second story
If you have so much you that you can afford unused non refundable tickets. I can find a good home for it.
The guy who's wife won't get ready in time.......She does not respect you or your daughter, and does not view your daughter as anything she needs to be associated with or around. Divorce would be my personal next step. It's that obvious.
People have no idea how easy, peaceful and amazing it is to be single. I was literally shocked at how being single took every bad thing out of my life.
You'd think that part of her contract with the company would be 'Don't 'F' with Jim!'
The fact the company let Jim out the parents in his own name is crazy
Story 2: I don’t understand adults that can’t sit and wait for an hour or less. You’re not a child. Read a book, talk to someone, have a drink, or just do anything. Just make sure you’re where you’re supposed to be on time
Time to look into separating your accounts & getting things lined up with an attorney. I don’t usually jump on the divorce bandwagon as a first go… yet, in this case it’s wise to be safe. Please sit down with your daughter & find out if stepmommy has mistreated her.
I’d think hard about redoing your will to be sure your daughter is protected. Definitely make sure the woman you’re currently married to isn’t the executor/personal representative
Like someone said. When you are a new "boss" never change anything until you know how the company works.
We had a new station manager. He worked with me and washed cars, he sat with the people that made customer bookings. He also followed us out when whe delivered cars for rental to companiea.
After a while he changed up some things that made everything better.
putting a women in charge of something is like putting a mouse in charge of a group of cats. incompetence at its finest.
It depends on certain things, but just holding the patent doesn't mean you own the machines.
she will not listen and causes problems by not listening. to me silence is Golden it is better than nagging about what is her fault

When will new managers ever learn to find out how the company works before you make changes. You cannot reinvent the wheel. This company was already successful before you got here. Why not roll your sleeves up and work along side your employees and ask where they think improvements can be made and why. Ask what they need to make their jobs easier. This was good enough for Walter Elias Disney when building Walt Disney World in Florida. And look what kind of legacy that man left behind. He really did walk up to employees at all levels of work and ask if he could get them anything to make their jobs easier. Really smart man.

The current ones follow the MBA cookbook, and get all the money they can, leaving a shattered company behind as they leave. However the CEO probably found out that destroying the company in the first week is not going to get a glowing new position, no board will hire a CEO that destroyed the previous company, and left the shareholders with nothing at all, and likely they are all on the boards of any company she would apply to as well, and seeing the name will vehemently tell the other board members that she is going to destroy that company as well, and create a massive loss for the other board members as well.
I work in Human Resources and the first story sounds like this company has a garbage HR team which is weird for a multimillion dollar enterprise. Whenever ANYONE is being fired, it has to run through HR just for the paperwork and offboarding processes alone. Unless the HR manager is new or green, they would have looked up the employee file for any liability issues, such as holding ALL THE FREAKING IPs. Second was the termination being an ADA nightmare. Even hinting that the termination had any stank of discrimination is something all HR professionals are thought to avoid at all costs. I don't know how an HR manager would even allow the CEO of the company to do this termination unless this CEO is really threatening their job as well. At the very least in this situations where a CEO is demanding I terminate a high level employee, I would call a stakeholder meeting just becuase its my duty to protect the company and if a CEO is about to tank it, I have to at least let the rest of the Stakeholders get a meeting in.
