I had a similar incident, I was in school for game design from full sail, at the time I was falling behind cause they was working me 12hrs 7 days pretty much with a swing shift each week. I tried to reason with them cause the job wasn’t bad just overworked. The boss told me “ the job is more important than your hobby” (extract words) I started looking for more jobs instantly and ended up landing in spectrum company and got even more training. Company car and free cable internet and phone on top of them paying for gas and food( life is good) So now I got a degree on route to a second one, making way more money with less hours and I’m doing what I love. He definitely tried to guilt trip me to staying and tried to apologize for what he said, they put him on his final😂
First Story: U would think that OP's boss would not want to change anything up here. Giving a freshly graduated college student is always a horrible idea.

I am an ASL interpreter and as such I am an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. I have been told so many times about “policy” not allowing me in rooms, blah blah blah. POLICY DOES NOT TRUMP LAW. Not happening as much now, but 30 years ago!
I too had a paper route but I started at 12. When I first started, the route was a mess! Late payments or no payments were common but quickly corrected. Then Karen moved onto my route. EVERY Sunday (biggest paper with coupons) she would call to say that she didn’t get her paper even though I made it my practice to porch every one. I would start delivering by 4 am to be done by 7:30 so I could get to church by 9. After the 2nd time I told her that I need to put it in her backyard or some other place as it was making me late to church and was told that her dog would eat it. So after much thought I decided to also wake her but it was around 4 am. She was angry but I explained I needed to make sure she got her paper. After the 3rd Sunday wake up knock her husband answered and asked why I kept doing this. After explaining the situation he said to just leave it on the porch and he’d take care of it. Never got another call.😂
Sounds like something a couponer would do for more "free" coupons. LOL on the extreme couponers show I have seen them truly go to the extreme to get more including dumpster diving.

Ah, the classic "If you don't like it, leave!" It actually CAN work when the person really should be gone and you just don't want to or can't fire them for some reason. But you better be ready if the person decides to leave right then and there.

The lost fishing pole reminds me of another malicious compliance story from our man RSlash. A guy wrote that he and his neighbor had a deal where they would pick up and store each other’s parcels when recipient was away to keep the items safe from porch pirates. Neighbor sold their house and a new neighbor moved in. When OP tried to be nice and extend the same courtesy, neighbor lost his sh*t and told OP to leave his packages alone. So, OP did. Left the package alone and watched it get stolen by a porch pirate! Neighbor tried to chase the theif down, but lost them. He got all pissed off at OP for just watching so OP threw his words right back in his face. It. Was. Glorious!
What I don't understand what's so important for that fishing guy to leave his rod and go off to do whatever when at any moment something like that will happen.
Wow! A newspaper story, I love it. I spent 30 years in newspaper circulation so that’s a pretty typical problem. I have a million stories like that, many crazier. Thanks for that, Dab!
Story 1: Why do bosses say stuff like that? Like, do they just expect workers to just not quit or something? Like, OP was doing extra and not being compensated for said extra, of course they were going to quit!
Simple, they think that job that you do for them is such a great deal, that you won't find anything better (when in reality it is other way around). Or you won't have a courage to actually quit and go looking for a new job.
I really like the managers who let their employees have harmless fun or don't punish them for teaching customers a lesson (the bridal shop), that was great. A nice life lesson, free of charge.
I've been working at Academy for roughly 2 months now. I was hired to do online orders and in that time I am now helping unload trucks and place products. Now they have me doing overnight for online orders while still unloading pallets in my off time. At this point 3 team leads have quit and 2 people in my department have as well. They've asked if I want to become a team lead and I told them I would if the paid 1.5× what I'm making now. If not I'm not going to go move up and will just use their college reimbursement then leave just like several other people plan to do. One manager has told me multiple times that I could be fired and I laughed in her face and told her to go ahead, I'll just go to one of the other 4 jobs offering me positions. Sure they pay less/no college reimbursement but are closer and don't pull this bullsh1t. She is still trying to act tough but I told her yesterday I will go to regional with my issues if she doesn't realize I am one of the only people left in her department. PS: The job wouldn't be bad if she didn't constantly micromanage the overnight shift. She even thinks she has the ability to tell us when we take our breaks while the manager on shift doesn't care.
Hey r/SLASH! Today is my 15th birthday, and I just want to say that I’m really happy you’re here to make my day better. I’ve been watching you since 6th/7th grade (I’m in 10th) and I’ve literally grown watching you. Just wanted to say thank you for always putting out new videos every day, on the dot, and making me smile.
One thing I will never understand is how plenty of bosses not getting what they want or an employee messing up retorts with yelling. It's not productive and is demoralizing and humiliating for the employee, even if they were at fault. Like yes, reprimand your employee if they do something wrong or don't do what they suppose to but yelling doesn't help anyone
Story One: In the UK, tere are some pretty stringent laws about employing those under sixteen. One states that they my *not* work before 7am. If the girl in the story really was delivering papers at 6am, her employers is due for a pretty hefty fine.
I don't know about the UK but here in the states (at least this used to be true, things might have changed) paper deliveries were the one thing exempt from most labor laws.
@@wingracer1614 No, paper rounds are covered. Both I and my son (at different times...) did paper rounds. It had to be 7am before you even entered the newsagent to collect the papers. In a fit of keenness, I once turned up at 6.50 and was told to wait because the newsagent feared a fine.
Story 1: the only reason OP has that pay at his new job was because he was appreciated at his new job, while his old boss grossly took him for granted, and made him do work that was severely above his pay grade. if you're ever ask you to do extra task above your required work, make sure you get paid according for it, and if they don't, FTSIO!
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
I'm sitting here like "paper *round* " did this person BoneAppleTea themselves? It's paper ROUTE, right? "I'm in the Uk" Wait? That's a thing jn the Uk? *Googles Yup! Learn something new every day
Kind of funny all these stories about bosses who think the biblical verse "Do not bind the mouths of the kine that tread the grain" mean instead of binding the mouths you scream and yell at and beat the kine, and then get all pikachu face when the kine pack up and go somewhere else.
Okay, I'm confused why the boss would tell anyone to quit. Businesses have been struggling since the pandemic began, and some have been failing due to a lack of support and assistance with employees. If you're in charge and make this mistake, don't expect anyone to come back after what you've done to them.
As someone who worked at McDonald's in a mining town for over 7 years I got a billion and a half stories, I've seen it all (not all of it even close to being a good experience) but one thing I always got complimented for was my greetings and farewells, I absolutely refused to be a robot so it'd be "g'day mate, how can I help?" Or "Hi there, what can I get for you" just a quick short greeting that was still always friendly...the overnight manager loved it cause it took a little time off each order...the rostering Karen hated me cause I wouldn't beep boop along like everyone else
As a store manager at McDonald's, I tell my employees taking orders in drive thru or counter what the standard greeting is but give them freedom to change it up and try to have fun with it, example you are supposed to suggest coca cola for all the drinks when a customer orders a meal, but I tell them to suggest whatever soft drink is their favorite as long as they suggest one to make the order process take less time
Moving companies are the absolute worst! We moved to Maine and the moving company kept telling us oh next week, it was 3 months until they finally delivered our belongings. The company was the worst with horrible people working there.
first story I just don't get why boss would tell their best employee to quit when that employee literally doing a job that require 2 or 3 people to do and OP doing his job under pay and now OP work for a high paid company, my guess he got cocky cause he didn't think OP would actually quit and story 2 the family was basic look for the small detail to complain a Karen family and then OP did what they ask for and regret it maybe they stop being a Karen family
Either I've gained precognition or the "Policy is Very Important" story was in a video in the last month? I've heard Rslash read it and I haven't seen an Rslash video in a week (and this is 2 days old)
As a McDonald's employee myself, I always tell customers to have a Mctastic, Mcmazing, Mctacular, or some other McDonald's pun, to the point where it's a common thing at the second window for customers to say how amazing I am
As someone who did newspaper delivery for 3-4 years I love the newspaper guy. complaints now where I worked you get charged $3 for a complaint but get payed $0.13 per paper delivered
The one in regards to the following policy, reminded me of a laptop incident with my local library. My town library has laptops that can be loaned out for 3 hrs, with an hour extra if you wanted to renew it for one more hour (for a total of 4 hours of checkout time total). You couldn't take the laptops out of the library, as they were only available to check out for only a 3 to 4 hrs total, per day. And when you checked out a laptop to use, they held your personal ID card as collateral until the laptop was handed back in to the librarian, and the librarian checked the laptop back in, and you got your ID card back from their hold box behind the desk. Well, one time I had checked a laptop out, I had used it, turned the laptop back in to the librarian, got my ID card back, and that was it, and left to go home. About a week later, I get a notice from the library in the mail, saying that I owned the library $2,500 for the laptop, as it still showed on my account that it was still checked out and overdue. Basically, I was being accused of taking it home I guess(?), and the library was asking for the replacement cost of their laptop back! I called them up immediately and asked them to check their laptops more carefully for their "missing" laptop, as I had indeed handed it back in on time, and had got my ID card returned back to me, and had I NOT had returned it, they'd still have my ID card in their box, which, upon them checking in it, they indeed, didn't have my ID card in their hold box, so they had to have obviously have given it back to me, which meant that they indeed, had to have their "overdue" laptop back in their possession after all. So they checked their collection of laptops, looking for the laptop ID number that matched the ID number of the checked out one still showing up on my account. They had it with their other laptops all along. Turns out the librarian just didn't actually scan the laptop to check it back into the system, resulting in it being overdue/still out on my account, resulting in the library fining me for the cost of their laptop. They apologized and removed the laptop fine. I never checked out a laptop again after that.
As someone that's had a paper route before, there's always one house that gave me a hassle for no reason whatsoever, the specific house on my route that did it has since moved out but they'd complain about not getting their paper when I KNEW I'd dropped it on the porch where they specified that I had to put it.
Fishing story: I would have been honest with the guy, ”Yep, I watched it get pulled into the water”, and when he says “why didn’t you stop it.” Tell him “Because you told me not to touch it!”
8th story I'm not sure if the OP is the real Karen here. Customers didn't want immediate help, so she decided to ignore them when they were actually ready to ask for help/order products. At most they were slightly rude, possibly the OP just overreacted to something that wasn't intended to be rude.
I love how the comments are full of people from different timezones going: "Perfect timing, I just woke up!" or "Always in time for when I'm going to bed!" and for me the videos are out at 3pm so I see the notification and I know what to look forward to when I get off work/school as a reward
Story 2: made me think of some relatives of mine who got their paper stolen. At first they thought it wasn't delivered. But when they kept not getting their paper they got up early. Saw it being delivered. A bit later a neighbour of theirs, who worked nights, walked past, took the paper and walked of. Next night my relatives found a 6 months old paper and switched it out. The neighbour stopped stealing their paper after that.
Such a toxic power move to dare an employee to quit if they so much as show signs of not being able to endure the horrible working conditions that's practically forced upon them, and not even getting recognized or rewarded for what they actually achieve. Those employers don't deserve to have anyone working for them.
The newspaper story reminds me of this one guy my friend had to deliver to, whose house was like WAY back on the lot. For some reason the house was all the way back and was flush with the alley (no back yard), and the garage was actually in front of the house in the middle of the front lawn. The whole property was basically set up backwards. Anyway this guy refused to allow anyone on his property, but still somehow expected that the newspaper be brought up to his door. He'd call to complain if you left the paper by the gate or in the mailbox, and he'd call to complain that you were trespassing if you walked up to the house to deliver it. So he borrowed my slingshot and launched the newspaper clear across the lawn. It never went where he aimed. After the paper ended up on the roof a couple times suddenly the mailbox was fine.
Story 2: Good going kid, you've got a good career of malicious compliance waiting for you. Make these AH rue the day they chose to act like their behinds.
getting fired is usually much better for you than quitting(you usually only get severance when you get fired in my experience).. but consult a lawyer before attempting either. also: mcwould mcyou mclike mcfries mcwith mcthat mcquestionmark
The McDonalds story part about being put on drivethru because he was white and spoke fluent English suddenly put my 2 years stuck working at Sonic's drivethru into much clearer context. Did not think I was going to get a touch of clarity for something that happened almost 2 decades ago at this point.
I remember hearing the 8th box, the update was they did fight longer about the 8th box until the OP made them admit to them not having it and getting it refunded
that "policy is very important" story is actually longer. The rest of the story is that OP then refuses to loan out a laptop to a very very senior person and throws Karen under the bus, she arrives without her badge and OP turns her away, but also gets a dressing down
The cops/city where I live got some choice words thrown at them because they were giving out tickets for trucks being past the driveway despite the fact that the driveways are too short
Dabney I have to say I have been listening to you for the last 3 years and I gotta say.... Thank you 🤩 you got me through a very tough part of my life listening to you every night at work!

I was plugging in my OG Xbox while this video was playing and once I heard that fishing rod sound I was almost sure it was an electrical sound! Scared the f*** out of me.

Mcds story... back 99-2000 I worked at mcds and also put Mc in front of every word. Hello welcome to Mc Donald's home of the mc big mack can I take your mc order. Was that Mc happy meal for a Mc boy or Mc girl?
idk.. the first one. they shouldn't have done the extra task without being told to by the boss.. I've been in this position before. Your responsibilities come first. What you do is make the website on your own time, without them knowing and wait for them to ask you to do it. Sure you're not getting paid for your work 1:1, but you wanted to learn it anyway..
The good old days of a paper round. People to lazy to get their own papers and expect quality service for the pay of peanuts. I had people complain that I ripped their paper, even though they had the smallest letter box and ordered the biggest paper. I pulled it apart and posted it in like 10 bits. I had people complain that their papers were wet. Yes it's a storm and I'm on a bicycle with the world worst bag to hold the papers. Yours can get taken out extra early and not when I'm under your porch. I had people complain I was late, despite delivering at about the same time every day (inc weekends) and like and hour before the papershop said I had to get them delivered. Paper slipped into last position even though it means doubling back at the end of my route. Was always fun when they saw me deliver to others on their street then half an hour later just as they were leaving for work or just after delivering theirs. Whoops I must have missed your house by mistake.
Actually, don't mess with anybody if you need their help... Like what that Karen thought would happen? And why is it always 'follow policy when it is inconvenient for you, but when it is inconvenient for me you have to ignore it'?
Getting married I picked a dress but it only had cream I could order it in white. I ordered dress 1 in white dress 2 came in white and looks near identical but it has itchy sleeves it was my dad's favorite. 3 months later they call that my dress was in they were busy and I was looking at the ordered rack but not seeing my dress. They finally come and pull down one it was dress 2 with the ichy sleeves I told them I wanted dress 1. They wrote dress 2 on the order forms I had to skim for over an hour before I found my dress again 3 months later it comes in cream they reorder finally I get it just in time for the wedding but the alterations department could not squeeze me in because my appointment I set up 9 months ago had passed with no dress they find some manager last minute who did a horrible job as she gathered everything on my butt making it look unnaturally huge. It was still to long I had to buy platforms and walk carefully because it was still dragging the grown. Which was horrible since I was sick with a lung infection and still recovering from an ankle injury which is why I was originally planning on some nice flat sandals. The lung infection hit me a week before the wedding and stole my dance with my father and the bride groom dance and the platforms were hard on the injured ankle.
Well, we're talking McDonald's so it's likely they mostly were teens who had their families move there relatively recently and spoke Spanish at home. Not ideal for taking orders over a headset.
I have a cartoon of a man (aka boss) with head tilted back, eyes closed, holding one hand to his forehead, with the caption "Oh, sh**! You did just what I told you to do!"
Such as Don’t mess with IT If someone asks for you to submit the request in writing you can expect a meeting with HR Make someone do tasks outside their job description without monetary compensation does not end well
Hold on a sec... maybe someone who's more familiar with fishing knows better than I do, but... why on earth would you just leave your fishing line in the water and go more than a couple feet away? That sounds like it's asking for a fish to steal your rod. Unless your rod was some fancy thing that can automatically reel in a fish for you, but clearly the guy's rod wasn't anything like that. Is this something fishermen actually do?

I've been working at Academy for roughly 2 months now. I was hired to do online orders and in that time I am now helping unload trucks and place products. Now they have me doing overnight for online orders while still unloading pallets in my off time. At this point 3 team leads have quit and 2 people in my department have as well. They've asked if I want to become a team lead and I told them I would if the paid 1.5× what I'm making now. If not I'm not going to go move up and will just use their college reimbursement then leave just like several other people plan to do.
One manager has told me multiple times that I could be fired and I laughed in her face and told her to go ahead, I'll just go to one of the other 4 jobs offering me positions. Sure they pay less/no college reimbursement but are closer and don't pull this bullsh1t. She is still trying to act tough but I told her yesterday I will go to regional with my issues if she doesn't realize I am one of the only people left in her department.
PS: The job wouldn't be bad if she didn't constantly micromanage the overnight shift. She even thinks she has the ability to tell us when we take our breaks while the manager on shift doesn't care.
Hey r/SLASH! Today is my 15th birthday, and I just want to say that I’m really happy you’re here to make my day better. I’ve been watching you since 6th/7th grade (I’m in 10th) and I’ve literally grown watching you. Just wanted to say thank you for always putting out new videos every day, on the dot, and making me smile.
Happy birthday!
One thing I will never understand is how plenty of bosses not getting what they want or an employee messing up retorts with yelling. It's not productive and is demoralizing and humiliating for the employee, even if they were at fault. Like yes, reprimand your employee if they do something wrong or don't do what they suppose to but yelling doesn't help anyone
Story One: In the UK, tere are some pretty stringent laws about employing those under sixteen. One states that they my *not* work before 7am. If the girl in the story really was delivering papers at 6am, her employers is due for a pretty hefty fine.
Yeah we really don't fuck sound with labour laws tbh
I don't know about the UK but here in the states (at least this used to be true, things might have changed) paper deliveries were the one thing exempt from most labor laws.
@@wingracer1614 No, paper rounds are covered. Both I and my son (at different times...) did paper rounds. It had to be 7am before you even entered the newsagent to collect the papers. In a fit of keenness, I once turned up at 6.50 and was told to wait because the newsagent feared a fine.
Story 1: the only reason OP has that pay at his new job was because he was appreciated at his new job, while his old boss grossly took him for granted, and made him do work that was severely above his pay grade.
if you're ever ask you to do extra task above your required work, make sure you get paid according for it, and if they don't, FTSIO!
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
I'm sitting here like "paper *round* " did this person BoneAppleTea themselves? It's paper ROUTE, right?
"I'm in the Uk"
Wait? That's a thing jn the Uk?
*Googles
Yup! Learn something new every day
Kind of funny all these stories about bosses who think the biblical verse "Do not bind the mouths of the kine that tread the grain" mean instead of binding the mouths you scream and yell at and beat the kine, and then get all pikachu face when the kine pack up and go somewhere else.
Okay, I'm confused why the boss would tell anyone to quit. Businesses have been struggling since the pandemic began, and some have been failing due to a lack of support and assistance with employees. If you're in charge and make this mistake, don't expect anyone to come back after what you've done to them.
might not be that recent, or boss thought employey couldn't afford to quit or most likely he had a little power trip.
As someone who worked at McDonald's in a mining town for over 7 years I got a billion and a half stories, I've seen it all (not all of it even close to being a good experience) but one thing I always got complimented for was my greetings and farewells, I absolutely refused to be a robot so it'd be "g'day mate, how can I help?" Or "Hi there, what can I get for you" just a quick short greeting that was still always friendly...the overnight manager loved it cause it took a little time off each order...the rostering Karen hated me cause I wouldn't beep boop along like everyone else
As a store manager at McDonald's, I tell my employees taking orders in drive thru or counter what the standard greeting is but give them freedom to change it up and try to have fun with it, example you are supposed to suggest coca cola for all the drinks when a customer orders a meal, but I tell them to suggest whatever soft drink is their favorite as long as they suggest one to make the order process take less time
i am watching you after work. so sad reddit doesn't disclose personal information.If it did, my job would be much easier
Good joke. Fed
thanks fed, very cool
The support of bosses when the public is acting out is absolutely amazing!
Moving companies are the absolute worst! We moved to Maine and the moving company kept telling us oh next week, it was 3 months until they finally delivered our belongings. The company was the worst with horrible people working there.
first story I just don't get why boss would tell their best employee to quit when that employee literally doing a job that require 2 or 3 people to do and OP doing his job under pay and now OP work for a high paid company, my guess he got cocky cause he didn't think OP would actually quit and story 2 the family was basic look for the small detail to complain a Karen family and then OP did what they ask for and regret it maybe they stop being a Karen family
Either I've gained precognition or the "Policy is Very Important" story was in a video in the last month? I've heard Rslash read it and I haven't seen an Rslash video in a week (and this is 2 days old)
Love some Malicious compliance on a sunday afternoon
As a McDonald's employee myself, I always tell customers to have a Mctastic, Mcmazing, Mctacular, or some other McDonald's pun, to the point where it's a common thing at the second window for customers to say how amazing I am
As someone who did newspaper delivery for 3-4 years I love the newspaper guy. complaints now where I worked you get charged $3 for a complaint but get payed $0.13 per paper delivered
I can tell you as a fisherman don’t leave your rod unattended because accidents like that happen and that’s why you’re supposed to pay attention
The one in regards to the following policy, reminded me of a laptop incident with my local library.
My town library has laptops that can be loaned out for 3 hrs, with an hour extra if you wanted to renew it for one more hour (for a total of 4 hours of checkout time total). You couldn't take the laptops out of the library, as they were only available to check out for only a 3 to 4 hrs total, per day. And when you checked out a laptop to use, they held your personal ID card as collateral until the laptop was handed back in to the librarian, and the librarian checked the laptop back in, and you got your ID card back from their hold box behind the desk.
Well, one time I had checked a laptop out, I had used it, turned the laptop back in to the librarian, got my ID card back, and that was it, and left to go home. About a week later, I get a notice from the library in the mail, saying that I owned the library $2,500 for the laptop, as it still showed on my account that it was still checked out and overdue. Basically, I was being accused of taking it home I guess(?), and the library was asking for the replacement cost of their laptop back!
I called them up immediately and asked them to check their laptops more carefully for their "missing" laptop, as I had indeed handed it back in on time, and had got my ID card returned back to me, and had I NOT had returned it, they'd still have my ID card in their box, which, upon them checking in it, they indeed, didn't have my ID card in their hold box, so they had to have obviously have given it back to me, which meant that they indeed, had to have their "overdue" laptop back in their possession after all. So they checked their collection of laptops, looking for the laptop ID number that matched the ID number of the checked out one still showing up on my account. They had it with their other laptops all along. Turns out the librarian just didn't actually scan the laptop to check it back into the system, resulting in it being overdue/still out on my account, resulting in the library fining me for the cost of their laptop.
They apologized and removed the laptop fine. I never checked out a laptop again after that.
As someone that's had a paper route before, there's always one house that gave me a hassle for no reason whatsoever, the specific house on my route that did it has since moved out but they'd complain about not getting their paper when I KNEW I'd dropped it on the porch where they specified that I had to put it.
Fishing story: I would have been honest with the guy, ”Yep, I watched it get pulled into the water”, and when he says “why didn’t you stop it.” Tell him “Because you told me not to touch it!”
love when they pay way more than they would've had to because they were stupid lmfao
8th story I'm not sure if the OP is the real Karen here. Customers didn't want immediate help, so she decided to ignore them when they were actually ready to ask for help/order products. At most they were slightly rude, possibly the OP just overreacted to something that wasn't intended to be rude.
Story 6: I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have a parked vehicle completely block the side walk, and create a blind spot for upcoming traffic
I love how the comments are full of people from different timezones going: "Perfect timing, I just woke up!" or "Always in time for when I'm going to bed!" and for me the videos are out at 3pm so I see the notification and I know what to look forward to when I get off work/school as a reward
The story about the guy losing his fishing rod was really satisfying lmao
Story 2: made me think of some relatives of mine who got their paper stolen. At first they thought it wasn't delivered. But when they kept not getting their paper they got up early. Saw it being delivered. A bit later a neighbour of theirs, who worked nights, walked past, took the paper and walked of. Next night my relatives found a 6 months old paper and switched it out. The neighbour stopped stealing their paper after that.
The classic McOrder taking. When I worked at McDonald’s we all loved to take orders putting a Mc in front of every word.
Such a toxic power move to dare an employee to quit if they so much as show signs of not being able to endure the horrible working conditions that's practically forced upon them, and not even getting recognized or rewarded for what they actually achieve. Those employers don't deserve to have anyone working for them.
The newspaper story reminds me of this one guy my friend had to deliver to, whose house was like WAY back on the lot. For some reason the house was all the way back and was flush with the alley (no back yard), and the garage was actually in front of the house in the middle of the front lawn. The whole property was basically set up backwards. Anyway this guy refused to allow anyone on his property, but still somehow expected that the newspaper be brought up to his door. He'd call to complain if you left the paper by the gate or in the mailbox, and he'd call to complain that you were trespassing if you walked up to the house to deliver it. So he borrowed my slingshot and launched the newspaper clear across the lawn. It never went where he aimed. After the paper ended up on the roof a couple times suddenly the mailbox was fine.
For the fishing story,
I love the sound effects but damn did they scare me XD
Story 2: Good going kid, you've got a good career of malicious compliance waiting for you. Make these AH rue the day they chose to act like their behinds.
love the kays cooking shoutout. she may not make the best food but she’s so pure
11:06 I almost pissed myself too from that sudden sound effect lol talk about a jump scare lol
getting fired is usually much better for you than quitting(you usually only get severance when you get fired in my experience).. but consult a lawyer before attempting either.
also: mcwould mcyou mclike mcfries mcwith mcthat mcquestionmark
The McDonalds story part about being put on drivethru because he was white and spoke fluent English suddenly put my 2 years stuck working at Sonic's drivethru into much clearer context. Did not think I was going to get a touch of clarity for something that happened almost 2 decades ago at this point.
I remember hearing the 8th box, the update was they did fight longer about the 8th box until the OP made them admit to them not having it and getting it refunded
I would have made up bs about the 8th box containing 25K of camera equipment
that "policy is very important" story is actually longer. The rest of the story is that OP then refuses to loan out a laptop to a very very senior person and throws Karen under the bus, she arrives without her badge and OP turns her away, but also gets a dressing down
The cops/city where I live got some choice words thrown at them because they were giving out tickets for trucks being past the driveway despite the fact that the driveways are too short
Child workers in the uk are woefully underpaid. £4.30 an hour isnt worth getting out of bed for
Dabney I have to say I have been listening to you for the last 3 years and I gotta say....
Thank you 🤩 you got me through a very tough part of my life listening to you every night at work! I know you probably won't see this but keep up the good work and looking forward to more years of quality content
4th story: Lmao, got I lovr when power tripping idiots, get into a taste of their own medicine
The fishing story had a slightly unsatisfying ending. I was hoping for "I know, but that's none of my business" lmao
I would have kept the loud knocking up. Until they beg me to stop and wave a white flag, I'll keep it up
Never piss of your star employee
Me: Wow I can’t wait to listen to 2-4 stories
RSlash: what if no
I love Malicious Compliance stories sooooo much!
When your boss gives you better advice than pay xD
I was plugging in my OG Xbox while this video was playing and once I heard that fishing rod sound I was almost sure it was an electrical sound! Scared the f*** out of me.
Re the McDonalds typo reminds me of Berkley Breathed's Opus the Penguin enquiring at a Maccas will they have herringburgers with the response " McNope but McMaybe later"
I was one of those McDondald's customers who said mcThankYou after I was give my "mcTotal." I wonder if it was the same McDondald's from Remote_Hovercraft's story.
“Oh no, I’ve Mcfallen!”
I 100% understand the fishing guys butthurted-ness, st Croix rods are $200 on the low end, same with a halfway decent reel to go on it... probably 4-5 hundred bucks flying into the water would ruin anyone's day lmao hopefully taught him to be a better person.
That McDonald's story reminds me of the burger joint from Jimmy neutron "big mcthankies from mcspankies" xD
Mcds story... back 99-2000 I worked at mcds and also put Mc in front of every word.
Hello welcome to Mc Donald's home of the mc big mack can I take your mc order. Was that Mc happy meal for a Mc boy or Mc girl?
All malicious compliance the art of shut your mouth or face the consequences..
idk.. the first one. they shouldn't have done the extra task without being told to by the boss.. I've been in this position before. Your responsibilities come first. What you do is make the website on your own time, without them knowing and wait for them to ask you to do it. Sure you're not getting paid for your work 1:1, but you wanted to learn it anyway..
Boss: If you like your stupid little hobby so much you should just quit.
Employee: OK BYE!!!
Boss: Wait...what?
The good old days of a paper round. People to lazy to get their own papers and expect quality service for the pay of peanuts.
I had people complain that I ripped their paper, even though they had the smallest letter box and ordered the biggest paper. I pulled it apart and posted it in like 10 bits.
I had people complain that their papers were wet. Yes it's a storm and I'm on a bicycle with the world worst bag to hold the papers. Yours can get taken out extra early and not when I'm under your porch.
I had people complain I was late, despite delivering at about the same time every day (inc weekends) and like and hour before the papershop said I had to get them delivered. Paper slipped into last position even though it means doubling back at the end of my route. Was always fun when they saw me deliver to others on their street then half an hour later just as they were leaving for work or just after delivering theirs. Whoops I must have missed your house by mistake.
The first story manager doesn't make sense... why would you work for free? Why would start a job...not expecting to get paid?
DONT MESS WITH THE IT GUY
Actually, don't mess with anybody if you need their help... Like what that Karen thought would happen? And why is it always 'follow policy when it is inconvenient for you, but when it is inconvenient for me you have to ignore it'?
Getting married I picked a dress but it only had cream I could order it in white. I ordered dress 1 in white dress 2 came in white and looks near identical but it has itchy sleeves it was my dad's favorite. 3 months later they call that my dress was in they were busy and I was looking at the ordered rack but not seeing my dress. They finally come and pull down one it was dress 2 with the ichy sleeves I told them I wanted dress 1. They wrote dress 2 on the order forms I had to skim for over an hour before I found my dress again 3 months later it comes in cream they reorder finally I get it just in time for the wedding but the alterations department could not squeeze me in because my appointment I set up 9 months ago had passed with no dress they find some manager last minute who did a horrible job as she gathered everything on my butt making it look unnaturally huge. It was still to long I had to buy platforms and walk carefully because it was still dragging the grown. Which was horrible since I was sick with a lung infection and still recovering from an ankle injury which is why I was originally planning on some nice flat sandals. The lung infection hit me a week before the wedding and stole my dance with my father and the bride groom dance and the platforms were hard on the injured ankle.
I will never ever understand why people feel comfortable enough living and working in another country and not speaking the language fluently.
Well, we're talking McDonald's so it's likely they mostly were teens who had their families move there relatively recently and spoke Spanish at home. Not ideal for taking orders over a headset.
Story 1 : talk about big mouth leading to losing your mvp.. that boss is mega dumb..
I have a cartoon of a man (aka boss) with head tilted back, eyes closed, holding one hand to his forehead, with the caption "Oh, sh**! You did just what I told you to do!"
Reminds me of the vine where the lady goes, Oh! I've McFallen!
9:30 Do u want anyfing from macdondald
Borgar
Can bosses please watch Rslashes videos so the can have more successful lives
Such as
Don’t mess with IT
If someone asks for you to submit the request in writing you can expect a meeting with HR
Make someone do tasks outside their job description without monetary compensation does not end well
11:03 fishing rod jumpscare
Hold on a sec... maybe someone who's more familiar with fishing knows better than I do, but... why on earth would you just leave your fishing line in the water and go more than a couple feet away? That sounds like it's asking for a fish to steal your rod. Unless your rod was some fancy thing that can automatically reel in a fish for you, but clearly the guy's rod wasn't anything like that. Is this something fishermen actually do?
welcome to mcdondalds
