There is a lovely older lady in our area that is more wrinkle than smooth and she tans religiously. Leathery looking describes her to a t lol She also wears her white leather mini skirt and white leather halter top. All summer long. Don't get me wrong shes the nicest lady ever but at 87(maybe older) its quite the sight to see.
Same. Although I'm on the bar and it's the UK so $60 in tips from one table is just pie in the sky numbers for me. I make roughly that much in tips in around six weeks. Although thinking about it, if that $60 is a 20% service charge then the table of 9 spent $300, which is $33 per head. For what sounds like an upscale place having filet mignon and cocktails with top shelf spirits, that seems really cheap to me. Maybe the tip was split between more than just the OP, though.
There's a reason websites have gotten progressively worse over the years. The stories of veteran IT people getting replaced is an epidemic and the new blood are only focused on fast turnout, not quality. Not entirely their fault because 90% or companies are run by elderly morons who can't work a spreadsheet and only care about speed and profit.
Three things I’ve learned from read reddit and watch/listening to all the videos on this and others channels. 1. HOA basically a cult 2. Tree law 3. Don’t f*** with the IT guy
You mean bean counters filtering teams by excel sheet and cutting of the 20% of highest salaries of non-executive teams and expect cheaper staff to fill the gap?
experience=cost . one manager told me one time, that it would be fine to have someone with my experience, but cheaper! I didn't reply any thing just look at him and try too see if he could register what he has just sayd! (not sure to this day).
"Bbbbbut, but, cheaper! Out goings go down profits go up! I do good right?! That's what made upper management happy last time. Please help I have no idea what I'm doing but I can't tell anyone that because they'll take the money away!"
Even in governement position, I had to deal with this stupidity. With 14 years of experience in the place (as a secretaire, commis and +++), plus 5 years in IT and a bilingal background, I was told I was not experienced enough to hold a secretary position in the IT department... they hired a newbie who didn't known anything about the cultural place, doesn't speak (or write) in French.... but "she has the secretary diploma that we asked for." Even the syndicate told me they can't do anything! Screw them! I send my resign with a 4 pages letter about their inefficience use of resource in their staff. They never ask me for an exit interview. 10 years later, I'm still resentful about them but I turn my work need around... I work joyfully in a local Walmart because I don't have any financial issue and I like to speak in both langague with clients. I was told by many customer that I am the "most joyful and useful employee they never saw in a Walmart" !! 😀
"Our policy is to call in sick before 6 am..." Ah yes because as humans, we get sick on a precise schedule. What a stupid policy. I get wanting people to call as early as they can, to get a replacement ready. But op called in when he started feeling sick. That should be enough.
One time, when I was thirteen or fourteen, I felt all right when I went to school, but felt worse as the day progressed. Around lunchtime my friends and colleagues asked, “Why didn’t you stay home?” to which I replied, “I didn’t feel this way this morning.” After school my mom took me to the doctor, who diagnosed me with an upper respiratory infection. I didn’t go to school the next day because I was still so sick. Long story short, yeah, expecting people to know if they’re sick before six in the morning is ignorant. The only way someone could know is if A) they were sick all night and B) they woke up sick before six.
The funniest thing about this is I can GUARANTEE that if they HAD called in the night before they would have said something like "how did you know you wouldn't be better in the morning?"
I always see these stories about people going above and beyond for their jobs, but aren't getting the pay for it. That company knows you're doing it, but they just don't want to pay you for it. So they act like "they don't know who's doing it and say that the person will get a raise when found out" when in reality, they are just trying to keep the same services for free 🙄🙄. DON'T GO ABOVE AND BEYOND IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING PAID TO!!!! All you are doing is showing the company that you are willing to do someone else's work without the pay.
What's really fucked is that a lot of companies try and push you to go above and beyond as well, claiming it 'shows initiative' and can pave the way for promotions and raises. The factory I work at has a grading system where, based on how you apply yourself, you can be an A, B, C, or D player, and all employees are required to be A players, going above and beyond (without extra pay or benefits) just to keep their jobs.
Yep, my previous company I went above and beyond, I was a subject matter expert for several areas and always looked to help out. Transferred to a new manager, my old one got promoted, ohh yea sure have to reduce the employee levels but didn't hit any of the guys who were on their team from before that knew significantly less than me. Current job, I have fits of going above and beyond...then again they gave me a 10%+ pay raise last year and don't micro-manage me, so that's good.
My husband is a web designer, freelance. He has done that since 2005. Over the years there have been companies that have not renewed contracts, because they hire someone that will be working in-house, cheaper, and not sharing attention with other companies. My husband will tel them to back up the site data and find a host. They normally don’t know how todo a back up, so my husband will do it on a CD rom. Many times a month after my husband gets dropped, a CEO or executive will call in a frantic, demanding that he fixes what the new person broke. These people will be rude, nasty, unprofessional and claim that they will tell everyone about my husband’s lack of professionalism. My husband is a professional and knows how to handled jerks.
As a former waitress that first story is priceless!!! I will never understand why people treat waiters, waitresses,cashier's etc...like dirt. Just because you have money does not mean you are a better person & it definitely cannot buy manners,respect & decency.
The OP that did the overnight training reminds me of one young lady I worked with who was just awesome! There was nothing she couldn't take on and complete (honestly, she ran rings around me, but she was always a joy to work with) and management screwed her over because of "Lack of training." She used her vacation time to take a crash course and got her certifications and applied to a different place. She got the job and left the place where we used to work. Oh, did I mention that I was being "retired" so she and I were no longer working there starting the same day. Yup, they screwed themselves SO badly it was unreal. I wish I could laugh, but the people we were responsible for helping suffered all the more.
@@anna8328 - What I can say is that she and I did the practical application portion of the standard operating procedures of the place we worked. This controlled the logistics, communications, and operational structure of who does what and when. Because so much of what we did was done on the go, we didn't have time to write everything down, so most of it was in our heads. They didn't think about that when they screwed her and retired me. I honestly have no idea what they were thinking but the fallout was just short of catastrophic. They ended up having to contract us, after the fact less than 24 hours of their mistake at many times our respective salaries.
That entitled Karen 100% deserved the torrential rain, and tbh so did her friends, they didn’t care that she was screaming abuse at the wait staff, they just turned around and ignored Karen shouting and swearing as if it’s totally acceptable and normal behaviour to scream in wait staffs face, so honestly, I hope they enjoyed their soggy patio.
They were probably just used to her being a lunatic and had missed most of the conversation. From the way OP put it, they were giving Nutcase some serious stink eye. If that's the case, I feel kinda bad for them and they need to ditch the nut.
I worked in IT MANY MOONS ago. The number one rule when rolling out anything new is to first roll it out in a sandbox environment, see what works, see what breaks, fix it and then make it live. Never, ever, roll out changes on the fly.
"Well what do we do now?" You've got feet haven't you? Trying standing up while having your drinks. Moral of the Story - If a Waiter/Waitress tells you that it's going to be bad weather and it isn't wise to sit at the outside tables as well as stating that there is a free table for you. Just take the hint and get the hell out of there. Because as we all know, we cannot F**&ing deal with it.
I mean... they could just use those tarp things that'll keep the rain off the table. Or some kind of transparent roof. So those tables are still usable during bad weather.
I once had a Karen try to get her drinks and food for free, as well as get me fired because she got rained on (by looking at her you couldn't tell, so a few drops if any). My manger explained that she was seated at the outdoor table she booked online, and was seated an hour and a half before the rain started so had plenty of time to move since thunder had been rumbling most of that time
The bit about the woman cooking cabbage made me remember the time I was the victim of Maliciouscompliance. I usually do the cooking in my house. Once I had a cold and asked my husband to make me some soup. He made soup, but made it so spicy that I could not eat it. The next day I was still ill and asked him to make me soup again, but not to touch the spice rack. He didn't touch the spice rack, he got a spicy sauce out of the fridge to put in the soup. I literally was crying from the combination of the spice, my illness and the fact that my husband couldn't even make me soup after 10 years of marriage.
Kind of an asshole thing for him to do to his wife who is sick. I would have snuck a few squirts of hot sauce in his underwear drawer and ask him later why he has trouble sitting still.
i hope you meant to say Ex husband. to go to that level of a**holery on somebody when they're sick And have been being good to you denotes a Distinct lack of character _Not_ worth sticking around with.
@@kstormgeistgem461if you ask someone else to cook, you accept the risk of having yo deal with conflicting pallettes. If she did most of the cooking, it is highly plausible that the guy didn't know how to make soup from scratch. The fact that you assume he was being malicious, rather than doing something he was unfamiliar with, shows you to be a misandrist. I doubt OP would mow the lawn, repair a leaky roof, or paint the fence while he was sick. It's soup. The shit comes in a can. If you're sick, taste isn't an issue, since you can't taste anything anyway. Make a can of soup in the microwave and get on with life. Divorce over soup is the dumbest suggestion I've heard in some time. I feel bad for anyone you date or marry.
I start my day off with Rslash, since its audio I can get dressed and ready for the day with him talking in my headphones. Literally a great start lmao
I love when companies fire experienced employees who know everything about that company and replace them with some kid who knows almost nothing out of college. Sure he’s cheaper by the month, but wait for the computer meltdown. See what’s cheaper then.
In fact, you should mess with anyone! As a secretary, I was told to delete all professionnal and personnal files before leaving for my maternity leaves. I did. Three weeks in...and they call me: "where's the files about X client? We need to do some changes but we have only the paper copy." I deleted it, like you told me to. So, they had to ask another secretary to type "again" a 35 pages story for the tribunal... in 2 hours, without any typo, of course. 🤷
Re: Outoor Seating The thought of a Snooki clone having a terrible time because she thinks low of restaurant employees gives me joy! Re: getting a raise& Do not mess with IT Told y'all, don't mess with the IT guy!
My question for all these IT stories is, have these managers worked with data before? It sounds like they usually run their companies by getting all the major work done by a professional and then firing them to hire someone cheaper who just runs it. If this was construction or something physical that might work but with data it is not that simple.
Having been a server in my younger years I can't stand people who treat their server poorly. I have a habit of sarcastically correcting the customer and shamed more than a few to leave a better tip.
Try shaming me and you won't get any tip. A tip is a reward for good service. You aren't entitled to it. What someone tips is a matter of THEIR discretion, not yours. As an owner of a dining establishment, I'd fire you on the spot for trying to bully people into tipping. You EARN a tip. Especially at my restaurant, where inexperienced waitstaff are hired at no less than $15/hr.
Delete it all. That wasn't age discrimination, that was about the dude's salary and an idiot in management thinking that all programmers are interchangeable and that you can get the same productivity out of one that's cheaper.
*Husband shows true colors after getting married* should be the title! To sum it up: the husband thought that he could control her once she’s married to him, I’m surprised it didn’t take a few months for this divorce.
but what did he do? he just asking his wife to cook his fav food cabbage, potatoes, and sausage, he didnt forced his wife to eat that? i think this story the wife is overreacting... i dont see the controlling husband in this
@@gedeyogam9096Agreed. I see why the marriage only lasted a year and a half. If I was the one working, and I was shit on for wanting a specific dish when I got home from work, I'd eat dinner on the way home every night and leave her to fend for herself. She started off the marriage with an "I do what I want" attitude, which is not how a marriage works. If she isn't willing to try new foods for him, can he really expect her to try anything new with him? Nobody wants to be with someone who refuses to venture out of their comfort zone, ever. That's how you wind up in a stagnant, resentful marriage. This idea that she can dictate what he eats, just because she cooks, is nonsense. If he's earning the only income, he should get to have what he wants for dinner, at least a few times a week. He's already sacrificing his time and energy to keep a roof over her head. The least she could do is learn to make a dish he clearly likes.
"Hi I'm a smug arsehole on a power trip and I have no idea what it is you do and have no intention of trying to find out; so I'm just going to assume it's easy, unimportant and costing me money. Maybe if I were competent, actually did my own work and (visibly shuddering) treated people with dignity and respect then maybe I wouldn't make every where I am a living hell." Signed every duchebag manager. P.s. "I have malignant narcissism born from deep insecurities I refuse to get help for and will attack anything I find vaguely threatening to my sense of self."
"I dont want to cook something my husband wants as a one off because i never tried these and never will" holy shit, bet he's glad to get anyway from you.
Right? I understand he was rude that morning, even for 1971, but to ruin brand new pans and burn food just send a message instead of just making food you will eat? Its not like she said she did not know how to cook them, only that she did not eat them. It wasn't complicated food. Boil cabbage in salty water, roast potatoes and sausages. This is not malicious compliance because she did not do what he wanted in any way shape or form. She just acted like a psycho on day 1 of her marriage.
@@limiv5272 Alright well, since it completely zoomed over your head. Marriage is a 2 way street. Not just the wifes. He has just as much of a right of a say in whats for dinner as she does. And please, do not pretend i'm sitting here saying she needs to provide and give him food every day becuase cooking bad. Infact i'm a fucking fatass when it comes to food. I fucking cook every single day, and i take into consideration what my partner enjoys. Take your bias and shove it. Nothing wrong with cooking something your partner wants. But turning it into a ruined pot, and food items that IS. Big yikes to who ever you marry.
@@TheWeaponshold Yeah him being rude is bad, no excuse. But turning a pot of good food into trash is not the awnser. Fucking make what he likes tonight, then make something you like tomorrow. Thats how marrages work, it's US, not HIM or HER (or other pronouns if you go by them). I dunno why people cant just learn to share.
I had to burn the whole pot to convince my HUSBAND that I would only spend my free time making food we could both eat! ::roots for a divorce:: .... "that marriage lasted a year and a half." GOOD. HE CAN MAKE HIS OWN DINNER, NOT BULLY YOU INTO MAKING WHAT HE WANTS WHEN HE WANTS. No one should be doing that to anyone. Don't f-ing marry that person. I don't care what you have in your pants, that behaviour is not acceptable, and spending ANY time "in a relationship" with that person counts as "accepting." Stop freaking rewarding it. You can't behave like that and STILL have some kind of dedicated companionship. Grow. Up.
Yeah, that's about right for some cocktails and some entrees. I literally went with my wife's family to celebrate her grandma's 90th birthday, at a oceanside steakhouse. Dinner and drinks for 12 cost us jist over $800, before tip. Now, that said, we left our two servers each $150. The restaurant owner is a friend and colleague of mine, so he closed an entire section off for us and gave us two of his five waitstaff on-shift. In fact, they were his two best waitstaff, a tiny, little firecracker of a Korean girl who busted my chops so hard I was crying with laughter, and a mountain of a gay fella who was probably the sweetest person I've met in a while. They were fantastic, and I told my friend they both deserved a raise. He informed me that he was already planning on moving her up to shift manager and sending him off to bartender school on the company's dime. Sorry for rambling, but I'm still sorta riding the buzz from that night. I told my buddy that he'd better take care of those two, or I'd pony up the cash to steal them away for my restaurant and pay to relocate them. He said he'd fight me for them.😂
$60 on a 20% tip in an affluent area in a tourist attraction for a party of 9 who ordered drinks and a filet mignon seems WAAAAY off. Should be closer to $600
Um, no. Lol. I live in the largest tourist destination in the world, and you wouldn't be tipping that much, even now. If you're paying that much for a filet and a cocktail, you're being finessed, genius.
Husband in the cabbage story seem wasnt only one at fault that marriage lasted less than 2 years. Whatever she did seems just toxic, and husband dodged a bullet just as much.
Never, ever mess with the IT guy! If he/she knows what they're doing, you're likely going to regret it. Also, back up EVERYTHING. Back it up multiple times if at all possible and if that doesn't screw with any legal stuff. Just do it.
This is not even messing with the IT guy. This is the IT guy throwing you life saver but you clinging onto the sinking boat and kicking the life saver away
9:13 two vary important rules when it comes to a relationship. 1. It takes two to tango 2. Own up to your 10% It doesn't matter what ethnics, religion, or culture you have, not one or the other gets to fully control the relationship, and if anyone tries to tell you otherwise then try to see if they partner is happy with it as well
Where I work we have a managing board that changes every 2 years. (Yeah, non-profit screwiness.) We're moving into a new building in the next year and are getting bids from utility companies for phones, internet, landscaping, etc. The person now in charge of the office decided we should change IT companies and brought some new people in to see what we have now. I don't know what she/they did, but our current IT company got so pissed off that they fired us as a client effective in 60 days. So now everyone is scrambling to try and figure out what IT company does before they shut everything off. It's already a dumpster fire and if it didn't affect me directly, I would just sit back, eat popcorn, and laugh.
The story about age descrimination makes me think of Aesopus' fable about the shepherd and his massive shepherddog that eats 3 loaves of bread each day. The shepherd doesn't like the costs of feeding his dog and decides to get rid of him and get three puppies instead. This raises the question: What will the three puppies do when a wolf attacks? You might live a little cheaper daily but you make big losses when your sheep get killed.
Moral of Story One: Play stupid games, win stupid SHITTY prizes! Hope the Karen’s friends all dumped her after what happened that day, then she tried to put all of the blame on OP for her OWN entitled bullshitty mistakes! Yeah, she’s one of those people who’ll try an convince others that they’re ALWAYS right, even when they’re proven wrong!
Had something similar happen with the programmer's story. Before I left IT altogether, I was helping a company get their badly outdated system to work with a new one while they installed said new system piece by piece and transitioned over to it so there was no interruption in business. Part of that job was creating documentation on how it was done. Then, in Dec. of '19, I quit over how I was treated by other employees when I outed an executive who tried out that scheme in _Office Space_ (literally the same one; she even bragged that's where she got the idea) by flipping hidden switches in the program to alert people something was going on. I had to delete any copies of my own documentation as per the contract and I gladly complied. Then last week, three managers called me to get the "backups they knew I had." Seems they hadn't gotten a proper backup system and kept the old system as such. I told them I'd deleted it and sent them and the company lawyer scans of my contract with the relevant part highlighted. The next day I got a certified letter threatening me with a lawsuit if I didn't turn over those nonexistent copies. The company lawyer turned white as a sheet when I contacted him about it and two days ago I met with him and my own lawyer on video call, along with an HR rep, who agreed to pay my legal fees and sign a "no contact" agreement in exchange for copies of records I did keep of the harassment those three heaped on me during my ten months there. I do not care enough to bother finding out more and just want to wash my hands of the whole thing.
SAY MORE SAY MORE! PLEASE SAY THE SAME STORY BUT LONGER, PLEAAASE! I don't know about that scheme and I am so curious about the details, these stories are so awesome! They are my favourite!
As someone who works in IT Project Management.. NEVER mess with an IT guy.. and think twice when someone asks: "Are you sure?" But some people just don't seem to learn
Why ignore the old IT guy? He told you flat out it was a bad idea! Edit: SERIOUSLY WHY MESS WITH THE IT GUY, THEY ARE THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS OF CODE AND IF THEY ARE TELLING YOU ITS A BAD IDEA, LISTEN TO THEM!!
I prefer to listen to rSlash than any other reddit reading channel, He actually reads it and puts good inflections, while all the others use a bot reader that mispronounces things all the time.
It’s not just the IT guy, as a process operator I was the guy who did all the setting up and adjusting of the whole plant. Before I left for greener pastures (I was paid less then the average in my field.) I told them do you want me to make notes of everything I learned and adjusted. No you can leave we don’t need you anymore we have 2 new people. Guess what? 3 months later there’s a big power issue, all my settings in the panels where gone. No back up, no one had decided to check the back up batteries that would save you 24hours before losing all settings. They called me to come back to adjust everything. No thanks you have your new people for that. It apparently took them weeks before getting everything running right again
The woman that went so far as to ruin cookware because she wasn't willing to try new foods is so childish. How does she know she "doesn't eat those things" if she refuses to try them in the first place.
Well he acted like he entrapped her and she is now his house slave. He did not even ask he just ordered: "I want it and you make it, end of disscusion".
@@MorusRubra To be fair there's always 3 sides of a story. My side, your side, and the truth. I'm not saying he couldn't have been a jerk but the fact that she has a blatant refusal to even try sausage or cabbage (2 foods people all over the world eat daily) leads me to think she's a brat.
While you definitely shouldn’t mess with the IT guy, you shouldn’t mess with his English counterpart either. One of my former coworkers was an English major that made other English majors seem like idiots. I’m of a similar mold, so we got along. One day while on lunch break, we’d gone to grab snacks at the grocery store for after work. One woman decided she wanted help from coworker. Coworker, being a nice person, tried too, but this lady thought she was superior or something. I can’t remember all that was said. Just that coworker shut Karen down with words we both know that Karen didn’t. She shut up after that and we were about to get our marshmallows and Oreos.
I cannot understand how a server would only announce the inclement weather issue to one person at the table. And I would take issue if I purchase such an expensive meal and my server couldn't be bothered to notify me of an issue so that I could make my own choice for my own dining pleasure. It also seems a little odd to me that nobody else at the table heard any part of the conversation it makes me wonder if the server intentionally whispered to the one person they felt would be difficult.
Anyone think the "young, hip, IT girl," in the last story also has a malicious compliance story to tell? Overwriting source code without backup seems like an amateur mistake, and I can easily imagine a company who fires their IT guy because he cost to much was also a "do this exactly as I say consequences be damned," type of company. So she might have pointed out they were being dumb, got bitched at and shrugged and went "okay boss, sure thing."
I remember taking some IT classes at the time Microsoft was transitioning to Win2k on their cert courses. I studied the hell out of the limited material available. Microsoft was sending stuff in 3-ring binders because no one was ready for the transition. Anyway, I went in and took the first test, passed and became the 1st Win2k MCP in the school including any of the instructors. Fast forward two months and we had a blast with just three students and the best teacher doing the Cisco CCNA class. Studied my butt off, just passed, ahead of everyone again. By the time I'd left the school. The head IT teacher had gotten hiss MCP and passed a couple more tests. The same teacher and three students in the Cisco class all had our CCNA certs.
I studied economics. One lecturer was himself an entrepreneur and had 20 employees; he had previously worked as a management consultant for almost 20 years. And in the subject of business leadership, one of his key phrases for cost optimization was: "Don't mess with IT! And never mess with its processes. Just leave them alone as long as everything is running well." ... he had apparently had his experiences and learned from them. 😂

Same. Although I'm on the bar and it's the UK so $60 in tips from one table is just pie in the sky numbers for me. I make roughly that much in tips in around six weeks. Although thinking about it, if that $60 is a 20% service charge then the table of 9 spent $300, which is $33 per head. For what sounds like an upscale place having filet mignon and cocktails with top shelf spirits, that seems really cheap to me. Maybe the tip was split between more than just the OP, though.
I love that they have an automatic tip set for larger parties

Three things I’ve learned from read reddit and watch/listening to all the videos on this and others channels.
1. HOA basically a cult
2. Tree law
3. Don’t f*** with the IT guy
Okay people keep talking about the tree law but what reddit story did I miss here, as I’ve never heard anything about cutting down a tree?
I learnt to cyoa. Also having been watching rslash since my teens, I now have strong ethics about overtime and sucky bosses
It really does blow my mind when companies replace “experience” with “inexperience”.
You mean bean counters filtering teams by excel sheet and cutting of the 20% of highest salaries of non-executive teams and expect cheaper staff to fill the gap?
experience=cost . one manager told me one time, that it would be fine to have someone with my experience, but cheaper! I didn't reply any thing just look at him and try too see if he could register what he has just sayd! (not sure to this day).

With 14 years of experience in the place (as a secretaire, commis and +++), plus 5 years in IT and a bilingal background, I was told I was not experienced enough to hold a secretary position in the IT department... they hired a newbie who didn't known anything about the cultural place, doesn't speak (or write) in French.... but "she has the secretary diploma that we asked for." Even the syndicate told me they can't do anything! Screw them! I send my resign with a 4 pages letter about their inefficience use of resource in their staff. They never ask me for an exit interview. 10 years later, I'm still resentful about them but I turn my work need around... I work joyfully in a local Walmart because I don't have any financial issue and I like to speak in both langague with clients. I was told by many customer that I am the "most joyful and useful employee they never saw in a Walmart" !! 😀

"Our policy is to call in sick before 6 am..." Ah yes because as humans, we get sick on a precise schedule. What a stupid policy. I get wanting people to call as early as they can, to get a replacement ready. But op called in when he started feeling sick. That should be enough.
One time, when I was thirteen or fourteen, I felt all right when I went to school, but felt worse as the day progressed. Around lunchtime my friends and colleagues asked, “Why didn’t you stay home?” to which I replied, “I didn’t feel this way this morning.” After school my mom took me to the doctor, who diagnosed me with an upper respiratory infection. I didn’t go to school the next day because I was still so sick. Long story short, yeah, expecting people to know if they’re sick before six in the morning is ignorant. The only way someone could know is if A) they were sick all night and B) they woke up sick before six.

That policy is a huge health and safety violation.

The funniest thing about this is I can GUARANTEE that if they HAD called in the night before they would have said something like "how did you know you wouldn't be better in the morning?"

I always see these stories about people going above and beyond for their jobs, but aren't getting the pay for it. That company knows you're doing it, but they just don't want to pay you for it. So they act like "they don't know who's doing it and say that the person will get a raise when found out" when in reality, they are just trying to keep the same services for free 🙄🙄. DON'T GO ABOVE AND BEYOND IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING PAID TO!!!! All you are doing is showing the company that you are willing to do someone else's work without the pay.
What's really fucked is that a lot of companies try and push you to go above and beyond as well, claiming it 'shows initiative' and can pave the way for promotions and raises. The factory I work at has a grading system where, based on how you apply yourself, you can be an A, B, C, or D player, and all employees are required to be A players, going above and beyond (without extra pay or benefits) just to keep their jobs.
Yep, my previous company I went above and beyond, I was a subject matter expert for several areas and always looked to help out. Transferred to a new manager, my old one got promoted, ohh yea sure have to reduce the employee levels but didn't hit any of the guys who were on their team from before that knew significantly less than me.
Current job, I have fits of going above and beyond...then again they gave me a 10%+ pay raise last year and don't micro-manage me, so that's good.

My husband is a web designer, freelance. He has done that since 2005. Over the years there have been companies that have not renewed contracts, because they hire someone that will be working in-house, cheaper, and not sharing attention with other companies. My husband will tel them to back up the site data and find a host. They normally don’t know how todo a back up, so my husband will do it on a CD rom.
Many times a month after my husband gets dropped, a CEO or executive will call in a frantic, demanding that he fixes what the new person broke. These people will be rude, nasty, unprofessional and claim that they will tell everyone about my husband’s lack of professionalism.

The OP that did the overnight training reminds me of one young lady I worked with who was just awesome! There was nothing she couldn't take on and complete (honestly, she ran rings around me, but she was always a joy to work with) and management screwed her over because of "Lack of training." She used her vacation time to take a crash course and got her certifications and applied to a different place. She got the job and left the place where we used to work. Oh, did I mention that I was being "retired" so she and I were no longer working there starting the same day. Yup, they screwed themselves SO badly it was unreal. I wish I could laugh, but the people we were responsible for helping suffered all the more.
SAY MORE SAY MORE! PLEASEEE! SAY HOW THEY SCREWED THEMSELVES EXACTLY AND WHAT WAS THE FALLOUT!!!
@@anna8328 - What I can say is that she and I did the practical application portion of the standard operating procedures of the place we worked. This controlled the logistics, communications, and operational structure of who does what and when. Because so much of what we did was done on the go, we didn't have time to write everything down, so most of it was in our heads. They didn't think about that when they screwed her and retired me. I honestly have no idea what they were thinking but the fallout was just short of catastrophic. They ended up having to contract us, after the fact less than 24 hours of their mistake at many times our respective salaries.
That entitled Karen 100% deserved the torrential rain, and tbh so did her friends, they didn’t care that she was screaming abuse at the wait staff, they just turned around and ignored Karen shouting and swearing as if it’s totally acceptable and normal behaviour to scream in wait staffs face, so honestly, I hope they enjoyed their soggy patio.
They were probably just used to her being a lunatic and had missed most of the conversation. From the way OP put it, they were giving Nutcase some serious stink eye. If that's the case, I feel kinda bad for them and they need to ditch the nut.
I worked in IT MANY MOONS ago. The number one rule when rolling out anything new is to first roll it out in a sandbox environment, see what works, see what breaks, fix it and then make it live. Never, ever, roll out changes on the fly.
Man that first story with the restaurant was a really great story.
"Well what do we do now?"
You've got feet haven't you? Trying standing up while having your drinks.
Moral of the Story - If a Waiter/Waitress tells you that it's going to be bad weather and it isn't wise to sit at the outside tables as well as stating that there is a free table for you. Just take the hint and get the hell out of there. Because as we all know, we cannot F**&ing deal with it.
@you know Nice spam...
I mean... they could just use those tarp things that'll keep the rain off the table. Or some kind of transparent roof. So those tables are still usable during bad weather.
@@callumkristofer7793 I mean... they could've tried to be pleasant people...
@@Persholm1 true. But having that roof means you can still assign people to those outdoor seats. Like 20 bucks for a lot more customers.
I once had a Karen try to get her drinks and food for free, as well as get me fired because she got rained on (by looking at her you couldn't tell, so a few drops if any).
My manger explained that she was seated at the outdoor table she booked online, and was seated an hour and a half before the rain started so had plenty of time to move since thunder had been rumbling most of that time
The bit about the woman cooking cabbage made me remember the time I was the victim of Maliciouscompliance. I usually do the cooking in my house. Once I had a cold and asked my husband to make me some soup. He made soup, but made it so spicy that I could not eat it. The next day I was still ill and asked him to make me soup again, but not to touch the spice rack. He didn't touch the spice rack, he got a spicy sauce out of the fridge to put in the soup. I literally was crying from the combination of the spice, my illness and the fact that my husband couldn't even make me soup after 10 years of marriage.
Kind of an asshole thing for him to do to his wife who is sick. I would have snuck a few squirts of hot sauce in his underwear drawer and ask him later why he has trouble sitting still.
•⬆️⬆️HIT ME UP⬆️.

to go to that level of a**holery on somebody when they're sick And have been being good to you denotes a Distinct lack of character _Not_ worth sticking around with.
@@kstormgeistgem461if you ask someone else to cook, you accept the risk of having yo deal with conflicting pallettes. If she did most of the cooking, it is highly plausible that the guy didn't know how to make soup from scratch. The fact that you assume he was being malicious, rather than doing something he was unfamiliar with, shows you to be a misandrist. I doubt OP would mow the lawn, repair a leaky roof, or paint the fence while he was sick. It's soup. The shit comes in a can. If you're sick, taste isn't an issue, since you can't taste anything anyway. Make a can of soup in the microwave and get on with life. Divorce over soup is the dumbest suggestion I've heard in some time. I feel bad for anyone you date or marry.

first story : What? They have a forced 20% tip just because the party is 8 or more? ... The US is weird.
In fact, you should mess with anyone! As a secretary, I was told to delete all professionnal and personnal files before leaving for my maternity leaves. I did. Three weeks in...and they call me: "where's the files about X client? We need to do some changes but we have only the paper copy." I deleted it, like you told me to. So, they had to ask another secretary to type "again" a 35 pages story for the tribunal... in 2 hours, without any typo, of course. 🤷

Re: getting a raise& Do not mess with IT
Told y'all, don't mess with the IT guy!
Do people never learn? NEVER mess with the IT guy!!!
My question for all these IT stories is, have these managers worked with data before? It sounds like they usually run their companies by getting all the major work done by a professional and then firing them to hire someone cheaper who just runs it. If this was construction or something physical that might work but with data it is not that simple.
Having been a server in my younger years I can't stand people who treat their server poorly. I have a habit of sarcastically correcting the customer and shamed more than a few to leave a better tip.
Try shaming me and you won't get any tip. A tip is a reward for good service. You aren't entitled to it. What someone tips is a matter of THEIR discretion, not yours. As an owner of a dining establishment, I'd fire you on the spot for trying to bully people into tipping. You EARN a tip. Especially at my restaurant, where inexperienced waitstaff are hired at no less than $15/hr.
Man the karen claims “I WILL DEAL WITH THE WEATHER*
Like what is she gonna do Call the storms manager XD
Delete it all. That wasn't age discrimination, that was about the dude's salary and an idiot in management thinking that all programmers are interchangeable and that you can get the same productivity out of one that's cheaper.
*Husband shows true colors after getting married* should be the title! To sum it up: the husband thought that he could control her once she’s married to him, I’m surprised it didn’t take a few months for this divorce.
but what did he do? he just asking his wife to cook his fav food cabbage, potatoes, and sausage, he didnt forced his wife to eat that? i think this story the wife is overreacting... i dont see the controlling husband in this
@@gedeyogam9096Agreed. I see why the marriage only lasted a year and a half. If I was the one working, and I was shit on for wanting a specific dish when I got home from work, I'd eat dinner on the way home every night and leave her to fend for herself. She started off the marriage with an "I do what I want" attitude, which is not how a marriage works. If she isn't willing to try new foods for him, can he really expect her to try anything new with him? Nobody wants to be with someone who refuses to venture out of their comfort zone, ever. That's how you wind up in a stagnant, resentful marriage. This idea that she can dictate what he eats, just because she cooks, is nonsense. If he's earning the only income, he should get to have what he wants for dinner, at least a few times a week. He's already sacrificing his time and energy to keep a roof over her head. The least she could do is learn to make a dish he clearly likes.
"Hi I'm a smug arsehole on a power trip and I have no idea what it is you do and have no intention of trying to find out; so I'm just going to assume it's easy, unimportant and costing me money. Maybe if I were competent, actually did my own work and (visibly shuddering) treated people with dignity and respect then maybe I wouldn't make every where I am a living hell." Signed every duchebag manager. P.s. "I have malignant narcissism born from deep insecurities I refuse to get help for and will attack anything I find vaguely threatening to my sense of self."
For that last story: guess what bosses....younger and cheaper isn't always better. 🤪

Right? I understand he was rude that morning, even for 1971, but to ruin brand new pans and burn food just send a message instead of just making food you will eat? Its not like she said she did not know how to cook them, only that she did not eat them. It wasn't complicated food. Boil cabbage in salty water, roast potatoes and sausages. This is not malicious compliance because she did not do what he wanted in any way shape or form. She just acted like a psycho on day 1 of her marriage.
I guess cooking for yourself is beneath you?
@@limiv5272 Alright well, since it completely zoomed over your head. Marriage is a 2 way street. Not just the wifes. He has just as much of a right of a say in whats for dinner as she does. And please, do not pretend i'm sitting here saying she needs to provide and give him food every day becuase cooking bad. Infact i'm a fucking fatass when it comes to food. I fucking cook every single day, and i take into consideration what my partner enjoys. Take your bias and shove it. Nothing wrong with cooking something your partner wants. But turning it into a ruined pot, and food items that IS.
Big yikes to who ever you marry.
@@TheWeaponshold Yeah him being rude is bad, no excuse. But turning a pot of good food into trash is not the awnser. Fucking make what he likes tonight, then make something you like tomorrow.

.... "that marriage lasted a year and a half." GOOD. HE CAN MAKE HIS OWN DINNER, NOT BULLY YOU INTO MAKING WHAT HE WANTS WHEN HE WANTS. No one should be doing that to anyone. Don't f-ing marry that person. I don't care what you have in your pants, that behaviour is not acceptable, and spending ANY time "in a relationship" with that person counts as "accepting." Stop freaking rewarding it. You can't behave like that and STILL have some kind of dedicated companionship. Grow. Up.
11:24 Quote: I'm laid off with 2 weeks to "train" my replacement. Me: hahahahahahaha
Damn, if you got a 20% tip which was 60$, that means their whole meal cost 300$!
Yeah, that's about right for some cocktails and some entrees. I literally went with my wife's family to celebrate her grandma's 90th birthday, at a oceanside steakhouse. Dinner and drinks for 12 cost us jist over $800, before tip.
Now, that said, we left our two servers each $150. The restaurant owner is a friend and colleague of mine, so he closed an entire section off for us and gave us two of his five waitstaff on-shift. In fact, they were his two best waitstaff, a tiny, little firecracker of a Korean girl who busted my chops so hard I was crying with laughter, and a mountain of a gay fella who was probably the sweetest person I've met in a while. They were fantastic, and I told my friend they both deserved a raise. He informed me that he was already planning on moving her up to shift manager and sending him off to bartender school on the company's dime.
Sorry for rambling, but I'm still sorta riding the buzz from that night. I told my buddy that he'd better take care of those two, or I'd pony up the cash to steal them away for my restaurant and pay to relocate them. He said he'd fight me for them.😂

Um, no. Lol. I live in the largest tourist destination in the world, and you wouldn't be tipping that much, even now. If you're paying that much for a filet and a cocktail, you're being finessed, genius.

Had something similar happen with the programmer's story. Before I left IT altogether, I was helping a company get their badly outdated system to work with a new one while they installed said new system piece by piece and transitioned over to it so there was no interruption in business. Part of that job was creating documentation on how it was done. Then, in Dec. of '19, I quit over how I was treated by other employees when I outed an executive who tried out that scheme in _Office Space_ (literally the same one; she even bragged that's where she got the idea) by flipping hidden switches in the program to alert people something was going on. I had to delete any copies of my own documentation as per the contract and I gladly complied. Then last week, three managers called me to get the "backups they knew I had." Seems they hadn't gotten a proper backup system and kept the old system as such. I told them I'd deleted it and sent them and the company lawyer scans of my contract with the relevant part highlighted. The next day I got a certified letter threatening me with a lawsuit if I didn't turn over those nonexistent copies. The company lawyer turned white as a sheet when I contacted him about it and two days ago I met with him and my own lawyer on video call, along with an HR rep, who agreed to pay my legal fees and sign a "no contact" agreement in exchange for copies of records I did keep of the harassment those three heaped on me during my ten months there. I do not care enough to bother finding out more and just want to wash my hands of the whole thing.

I cannot understand how a server would only announce the inclement weather issue to one person at the table. And I would take issue if I purchase such an expensive meal and my server couldn't be bothered to notify me of an issue so that I could make my own choice for my own dining pleasure. It also seems a little odd to me that nobody else at the table heard any part of the conversation it makes me wonder if the server intentionally whispered to the one person they felt would be difficult.

Overwriting source code without backup seems like an amateur mistake, and I can easily imagine a company who fires their IT guy because he cost to much was also a "do this exactly as I say consequences be damned," type of company. So she might have pointed out they were being dumb, got bitched at and shrugged and went "okay boss, sure thing."
We need some new tree law action!
I remember taking some IT classes at the time Microsoft was transitioning to Win2k on their cert courses. I studied the hell out of the limited material available. Microsoft was sending stuff in 3-ring binders because no one was ready for the transition. Anyway, I went in and took the first test, passed and became the 1st Win2k MCP in the school including any of the instructors. Fast forward two months and we had a blast with just three students and the best teacher doing the Cisco CCNA class. Studied my butt off, just passed, ahead of everyone again. By the time I'd left the school. The head IT teacher had gotten hiss MCP and passed a couple more tests. The same teacher and three students in the Cisco class all had our CCNA certs.

I studied economics. One lecturer was himself an entrepreneur and had 20 employees; he had previously worked as a management consultant for almost 20 years. And in the subject of business leadership, one of his key phrases for cost optimization was: "Don't mess with IT! And never mess with its processes. Just leave them alone as long as everything is running well." ... he had apparently had his experiences and learned from them. 😂
Anytime a story starts with, "I work in IT," I get so excited.
