I was a cab driver for about 7 years. One day I picked up a couple from their house and he early on started getting verbally abusive. They were both giving as much as they got pretty much but he started getting physical and I told him, "I won't accept this behavior and if you don't calm down I'll be forced to end the ride." Rightfully understanding we were in the middle of nowhere with no cellular connection she apologised and said, "You're right and I apologise, There's no need for this and I won't continue. Thanks for being so patient." He told me to shut up and mind my own business. I said, "No problem sir." and pulled over. His immediate reaction was to ask what the hell I was doing. I told him that his ride was over and he was more than welcome to call another taxi but that his ride was over. He got out and said, "Well?" to her expecting her to get out of the car. She said, "I wasn't kidding when I apologised and he said your ride was over, he didn't say anything about my ride." and we left leaving him at the side of the road. When we got to the location I had been asked to take them she paid me in full and gave me a $20 tip. When I said thank you and that I appreciated her response she said, "That's ok, I have all the cards and the money, I have no idea how he's getting home but that's not my problem." Smiled and went in the house.
Dude, the first story is like a group of teens not letting the shy girl eat with them at lunch. Why are these adult nurses literally acting like school bullies?
oh they can be worse than that. My ex tricked her way into making the schedule and literally screwed all of her coworkers out of overtime (taking it all for herself) She turned all of them against me during the divorce, but once they found out I got several apologies.
NHS workers tend to be either compassionate or extremely entitled, with no in-between. The UK media tends to deify the NHS and blame all their (many, MANY) failures on the government of the day, which leads to a lot of them feeling they can do no wrong.
Oh it happens. Used to work at a convenience store as a teen/early 20's. There was a supervisor there that if she didn't like you then alot of the other staff didn't like you. It was like highschool clique drama while i worked there. She was like 40 and still acting like that lol
I can't believe that my 40 year old mum whose a nurse comes home and talks about how she's bullied by women her age who don't do any work and manipulate the calenders so they can go home hours early. It seems to be a very common occurance in healthcare, where you're either with the cool gang or not, which is so sad.
Yeah as an Ex Olive Garden employee the soup and salad isn't even free for you, nothing is free for you, and you only get the 50% off discount when you're working, but you will never have a moment to eat or take a break ever. Olive Garden just sucks honestly, the managers aren't allowed to be friends with employees/waitstaff so many just take that as an opportunity to be openly hostile
How long are your shifts? If they’re a full shift, it’s ILLEGAL for you to not be allowed breaks. It would be cheaper to bring your own lunch, though. Save your money.
@dmf1301 As a former server of both Red Lobster and Waffle House, the rules for servers is a bit different. Unless you’re a minor, you don’t get breaks at all (with the exception of quick smoke breaks during slow periods if you’re a smoker), no matter how long your shift is. My shifts at Waffle House were 10 hours overnight. I forget why exactly non-minor servers don’t get breaks, but in a way it makes sense since it’s usually just one server covering an area, so if someone were to be seated in the area while a server is on break they’d have no one to wait on them at all. But yeah, Red Lobster also gives you a 50% discount on food while you’re working, but unless it’s slow or you order an appetizer like mozzarella sticks that you can just pick at along the way, you’re not getting an actual meal in at all during your shift.
Management not allowed to be friends with employees.. Man, it's like they DON'T want an inclusive, non-hostile workplace. I mean I get not being buddy buddy and wariness about being too close, but not even friendly colleagues who look out for each other where they're able to? That's too far? Man, I thought retail could be bad sometimes but at least we're allowed to look out for each other!
First Story: I’m so happy she got the peace she deserved in the end and stuck it to those bullies. Luckily she lives in the UK and had a good manager to support her. Here in the US that would’ve gone down very differently.
The sad thing about the first story is that several commentators were victim blaming OP, saying that she had to have done something to make her coworkers hate her.
Technically, yes... cause and effect is a thing, but that "Something" could be as little as just being happy on the wrong day (in the morons perspective) or being better at the job, than said morons (Jealousy and Envy), and so on, based on the pettyness in the story, i doubt it was anything fancy. And blaming OP for that is stupid.
@@BlindRambler If you're on or in someone else's property, you don't get to dictate whether or not you get privacy. If you're in my car, you're on camera. If you don't like it, you can gtfo or act like an adult and behave yourself.
@@BlindRambler 1: You don't have privacy in public. 2: The surveillance isn't necessarily for you benefit. 3: Just because you (I'll assume) know how to behave yourself doesn't mean that everyone does and there's no way of telling beforehand.
Luckily it wasn't me. I'm an auto mechanic. My shop bills well over $100 an hour. But I'd probably be nice and give them my side work rate of "only" $80. Plus parts with a 10% markup of course.
“My employee shows up to work late. How do I make them prioritize their job here? I know! Ill rip into them for being a few minutes by pulling them aside when they get here, making them even more late to their shift, and bluntly insult them! That will make them obey me perfectly~”
It's almost like you can just calmly say "Hey, we need to work on this routinely being late thing, I'm not sure what's going on.. but-" 'well i called ahead and let her know and she said take my time' "Oh. I wasn't aware you had done that, sorry, and thank you for calling ahead!" and/or, if you've got a manager like the one where I work, "Please also text me when you're going to be late so that I know where the team's at in the future! Thank you again for calling ahead!" Ta-dah.. Problem addressed, employee uplifted, and 9 times out of 10 it resolves itself.. No stepped on toes.
Re: the sleeping arrangements story. My own parents gave us a fairly strict Catholic upbringing, but figured once we were adults, what we did was no longer their business unless we asked them directly what they thought. They did put me and my then-boyfriend in separate rooms when we visited even though they knew we lived together, but that didn't bother me - their house, their rules; they respected my values so I figured the least I could do was respect theirs in return and not complain. (It's not like I wanted to have sex under the same roof as them, anyway!) We got married eventually, but I think if we hadn't they'd have shrugged and let us share a room at some point. They were pretty philosophical people. But it didn't seem worth jerking their chain over, anyway.
Sure, their house, their rules, but if you don't like the rules, you don't have to be at the house... Which is exactly how they navigated the issue, which got the rules changed. Funny how that works.
@@maximsavage True. My point is that, to me, OP was being petty about something that really isn't that big a deal, and OP's parents didn't really deserve that. But it got them what they wanted, so it doesn't really matter. OP's parents were the bigger people in this case.
the last story is a masterclass in people who just want to throw around their authority. Being late consistently is wrong, but being on time 100% is impossible. There is nothing wrong with being a little late once in a while or taking a day off but businesses seem to forget you are a human with a life outside of them and managers only get to feel like managers when they are bossing people around and they will take any excuse to exercise their title. Being 10 minutes late to an 8 hr shift is not going to ruin the business by any means.
I remember being fired despite having 100% attendance and never asked for a day off, because I actually cared about my work and wanted all my projects turned in, which I was doing and quite well. It was because I had Autism. Only reason I know is because she fired the only other Autistic employee that same morning and didn't give us a reason for our dismissal, just "Lovingness and kindness".
10:15 - "The guy who asked you to turn off the camera is the exact same guy that shows WHY OP wants a camera in the first place." Funny you say that. Coworkers and I at a particularly toxic private ambulance company were bitching about our employer (it's the admin people who are toxic, not the EMTs) who micromanages and video-records us, because they don't trust us. All the while, they short paychecks, try to start drama, and abuse the EMTs in ways that are barely legal, or even flat-out illegal (but hard to prove)! Just like a cheating spouse/SO, the one who is actually guilty of the behavior in question is usually the first one to accuse the other of it. (There's a lot of fiddly psychology stuff involved; too much for a YT comment.) Anyway, TLDR, the ones who point fingers are usually just as guilty themselves, if not more so.
First story: A bunch of people were victim blaming OP and I can confirm that people in the medical field, especially women/nurses like the ones OP works with, can be cruel for no reason. My mom is one of the sweetest, peace-loving people you will ever meet and she was HATED and bullied at her last nursing job. Sometimes people are cruel :/
First Story: Bruh why is people so childish. What happened to being professional? They got exactly what they deserved and OP deserved that year paid vacation Second Story: Seems like a pattern shitty landlords don’t see this as a red flag Third Story: Wow what a douche but hey he lost his Uber accound and got charged for cleaning Fourth Story: Either step-dad is blind or dumb. How can u not see that OP is too big for these sizes. I think he is doing this on purpose Fifth Story: I never understood why it’s an important rule for traditions that u can only sleep together if u are married. I personally think think that is dumb Sixth Story: lmao I would’ve done the same thing. Imagine talking to ur employee like that and then expected them to work on a busy day such as Mother’s Day
Because DNA testing wasn't a thing when the tradition was established because the only way to make sure that the any wife's child (the firstborn anyway) is the husband's was to keep the family of the daughter from being sexually active until they were married and "consummated." Another symptom of using religion as an excuse to treat people (in this case, women) terribly.
@@danielbrant6740 They could have just done away with the system of hereditary rule. Why was that ever a thing anyway? Yeah I get it if there is no named successor, but it would make much more sense to just let people appoint their heirs the way we do it today.
The step-dad is fat shamming him by gifting him that size and thinks he wont be called out for it because "It was a GIFT!" or "I accidently got the wrong size!". He is 100% doing this to make him feel bad about himself under the guise of a gift... Just your classic abusive step-parent he just found a way to not have to really give his step-son a gift while insulting him at the same time... (not all step-parents are bad I'm just talking about the abusive ones who are awful to their step-child(ren).)
It’s a religious thing and America used to have religious beliefs as the social norm, meaning having sex before you were married was a huge no no and you were and could be ostracized by the community. Brothel workers and other sex workers were never made wives because they were never respected. It’s only been since the 1990s-2000s that sleeping together unmarried and having sex prematurely has become socially acceptable. Some families still hold this value and that’s fine, it’s personal choice
*First OP:* Shoutout to OP’s manager for having OP’s back. Those 5/6 colleagues screwed themselves over. Also, shoutout to the one colleague who gave OP a birthday card and chocolate. *Second OP:* I agree with rSlash. How did OP’s terms and conditions not raise any red flags? Lol. *Third OP:* I hope all of that was worth $75 and a suspended account. Like rSlash said, people like him are why rideshare drivers have cameras. *Fourth OP:* I don’t know; OP’s stepfather could still be a prevert (misspelled on purpose because YT). I interpreted it as OP’s stepfather’s passive-aggressive attempt to get OP to lose weight.
Agree with the fourth, when rslash said that if op was a girl it would be worse i was like, hol' up. That's not how it works, no matter the gender its bad either way.
@@ninjax6276 yeah rslash hasn't changed in the way he thinks even after all the hate he receives, for some reason he still believes everything is worse if it's about a girl/woman
That's brilliant about the parental leave. I had a similar situation in my circle of friends, she worked for a doctor in administration. In Germany, in some professions, there is a direct ban on working and paid leave until the birth if there is danger for the baby. She worked in an office, so the regulation did not apply to her for the time being. However, her boss made her life hell, he was a choleric person and yelled at her several times a day. After a week, after the first ultrasound with confirmation that she was 2 months pregnant, but her boss did not know anything yet, she went to the family doctor and described the situation. He smirked, wrote a certificate and told her winking that she was suffering from "terrible morning sickness and due to her low weight, mandatory rest was called for and therefore she could not continue working". The health insurance company accepted the certificate. The next morning, she went to her boss with a grin on her face, told him that she was pregnant and that unfortunately she would no longer be allowed to work with immediate effect and would then take at least one year's parental leave. He raged with anger, but couldn't do anything. The job was protected by law, he could only hire temporary help until she returned, but since he was a terrible choleric, he got no more recommendations from temp agencies or the employment office after the third termination in short time, since it was a small town and his behavior got around quickly, he got no more replacements and his wife was forced by him to do the office work. When my friend was back after more than 1.5 years, he started yelling at her again after a short time. Boss wife was visiting at lunchtime few days later and my friend told her that her husband was still yelling at her. Then the wife got angry, stormed into her husband's office and told him that she would not do the work in the office again, instead he would have to deal with a divorce if so and he should please treat his staff decently. Since that day, her boss was sooo friendly and accommodating like never before.
The cameras in an Uber are there for the driver's protection as well as for insurance purposes. If OP shut the camera off his insurance, to be able to work as a ride share driver, would have been voided. Some camera systems can't even be turned off while the Uber is in service.
@@mmgoodwings3981 It depends on the insurance company. I live in the UK and my friend does Uber to supplement his income, but his insurance company made him buy an internal security camera.
There's that, and the implication that the only _logical_ reason to ask anyone to turn off their camera is if you intend to do them bodily harm and/or rob them. Of course, I'm not exactly accusing this guy of being "logical." More likely he was just an idiot who couldn't think things through.
Former EVS Tech here, I can confirm hospitals have a horrible problem with cliques and childish drama. Just trying to do my job was a constant chore because I constantly had to clean up behind CNAs who wouldn't lift a single finger and constantly had to smile and nod to every nurse who thought they knew my job better than I did. Not getting involved in the mud slinging and rumor mills wasn't a daily task, it was an hourly one. The only four people out of a staff of hundreds that I could get along with were the chaplain, one of the GPs, my shift lead who later became my supervisor, and the man I'm proud to say is now my fiancé. I should point out that the emergency room and OR staff were slightly more professional about their horrible attitudes, but every day felt like they were more occupied gossiping than saving lives, and when I responded to STATed rooms with fervor, because, you know, saving lives, the responses I got were more often than not confusion and detracting comments. They didn't understand why I had any passion while working what I, in my naivete in the beginning, thought was a dream job. My at the time boyfriend ended up leaving the hospital over a contract dispute and I quit alongside him. I've since then managed to get an overnight maintenance job at a department store and I've been enjoying roughly 20% better pay, better hours, better commute, and better medical benefits, to say nothing of a better work environment. That hospital was sucking the life out of us and I've never looked back.
Well the reason hospitals have so much drama is got so many damn women working there anything plus women equals drama fire them all and hire men . Did you hear what Susie Derkins said? BEEP BEEP BEEP FLATLINE... every time I've been in the hospital you can hear the b****** laughing it up at the desk instead of waiting on patients
This entire video hit home with me, from the first story about being bullied at work to the story about the college graduate not allowed to sleep in the same bed as her boyfriend who they have been in a long committed relationship, that’s been my life here recently and I did the exact same as those two. Specifically, I walked out of my serving job of 2 1/2 years at a local diner yesterday after working 1 week of my notice when one of my coworkers asked why I don’t just leave already (after a solid 2 hours of being called a thief for getting my money off the table I waited on, getting yelled at over making an ice cream cone for a lady who came to the register asking for one and no one else would, and having snarky notes written on our section sheet.). I just told them, “You know what, I will”. I wrote a long note for my boss, clocked out, and left. Best part, they called me this morning and I did come in and work first shift since those girls are amazing and needed help BAD because the restaurant was absolutely slammed, got them to leave me all the tables at changeover, and stayed over while my coworkers cussed me under their breath as they watched me wait on practically the entire dining room while they didn’t make a dime until my tables left. Ha! I’ve never felt so proud of myself my whole life
I don't blame you for walking out. I'm tired of Karens thinking everything is about them. Just because you have to wait doesn't entitle you to immediate attention.
I find it weird how some people think living together is something that only wedded couples do. Couples moving in together is necessary because it helps establish trust, and it's the perfect way of getting to know that person more than what is shown via dating or visits, in addition to whether or not this person really is the one to marry. Basically, it answers the question "will I be able to tolerate this person forever?" I find it extra weird since there could be friends, siblings, acquaintances, or classmates who can live under the same roof (some of which can share the same bedroom). In other words, I understand the "sex before marriage" thing, but this is the first time I've ever heard of the "roommates before marriage" thing.
My nan is very catholic and once said to me that if I ever "live in sin" ie. move in with a partner before marriage she would... do something? it was either disown me or smack my bottom. I don't really remember the details, I was pretty young when she said that. Young enough to not even know/understand what sex was. I remember being super weirded out by it, as I didn't understand WHY it was so "wrong" - it seemed innocent to me. It still does, really. Even if sex is involved, it's going to happen whether that couple lives together or not. It seems like a really pointless hill to die on. And I tend to agree, that you need to know whether or not you are able to live with your partner, and establish trust and important boundaries. Some people are not compatible as roommates, but are still great friends, and I think that holds true for romantic relationships too.
@@mollyoconnor9365 Well if you "live in sin," then the community knows about it and can judge you and look down their noses at you. This will make granny look bad by association. Totally unacceptable. The way you are supposed to do it is live separately and fuck like jackrabbits in secret, then ask god for forgiveness later. Its all ok so long as you repent afterward and no-one knows you're actually "at it," so the family reputation remains intact. Gotta keep up those appearances! It all makes more sense when you remember that these rules were invented by a bunch of long-dead people with less education than a modern five-year-old.
Glad the manager has her back. Usually it doesn’t go like that. Good for her, enjoy your time off :). I also have a feeling that the manager would not be stepping in to help.
Agreed. At my old job, the manager was the head bully, and the upper admin supported him. I ended up leaving for a much better position. Bonus: my leaving broke the 'you are garbage and lucky to work here' abuse spell, and several of the other top performers followed me out the door.
That story with t-shirts reminds me of my mother. At any possible occasion she buys me clothes that are 1 size too small. And she always says that I am supposed to loose weight to fit. Guess what, I am gaining 1kg per year and I am fine with it. Last time I was on diet I gained 20kg in 1 year and I felt hungry and tired all the time. I am definitely not going on another diet again.
0:21 Yeah no...never ignore bullies, doing that is dangerous. Let me share a story (By the way, these are all fake names) When I was in middle school, I had a lot of bullies, but 2 of which I hated the most, they were these 2 girls named Korrey and Tessie, when they bothered me, I went to tell a teacher...the teacher's response was of course "Just ignore them and they'll eventually stop" I listened for some dumb reason...It never stopped, I just became easier prey. I told my friend Dustin about the bullying, he told me that Korrey and Tessie had been bullying him too...he then told me that when he tried to ignore them, they threw his lunchbox up a tree. I told all the teachers that I had complained to about the story the next time they gave me the same advice "Just ignore them and they'll stop" this time I would reply back "That doesn't work...they haven't stopped and they won't unless you do something" eventually, I stopped trusting my teachers with my safety as much...why? because they would always downplay my concerns about Korrey and Tessie. I then thought "You know what...if no ones going to help me...then I'll just try to protect myself from them on my own" as usual the same StUdEnT's CaN't DeFeNd ThEmSeLvEs Or ThEy'Ll GeT In TrOuBlE bullcrap happened...my defense mechanism wasn't even violence...it was just yelling at them to leave me the heck alone (I think at one point in time I aggressively told them that they really must have nothing better to do with their life if they find picking on some random girl minding her own business fun...I think it was also what got me in trouble with the principle) The bullying did eventually stop, but only after Tessie suddenly stopped showing up to school...my theories are: 1. Tessie was just a really bad influence on Korrey and once Tessie was gone Korrey realized how fricked up the things she was doing to me was 2. One of the teachers who actually cared about my situation, but kept getting shut down by the principle...were finally able to get Tessie into some major trouble, which was either a wake up call or noticeable warning to back off for Korrey and Tessie. I didn't really care what happened, I was just glad that all of it was finally over. So yeah, don't ignore bullies...instead try to reach out to someone who actually gives a crap and doesn't try to brush you off.
@@MIKasKiHy Probably to keep passengers from deliberately leaving bad reviews. Also, if you were an Uber driver and you saw bad reviews for a nearby passenger, would you really wanna risk it?
It wouldn’t surprise me. From what I’ve seen on these videos some passengers can be a nuisance - or even a danger to the drivers. This is the same reason why I think it’s a smart idea for all taxi/shareride drivers to have similar surveillance cameras.
Manager: “If you don’t like it, just quit” Me: “You. are. screwed, you are screwed, their contract ain’t renewed, you will cry as that guy will start see you die, in front of the boss, it will cross, you are just as nice as moss, you are screwed, you are screwed, you will probably spew, when you could have just kept him employed, if keep on lying, you should just stop trying, you are screwed, you are screwed, so please enjoy 😈”
God, that first story is bringing back bad memories of a shitty manager and the stress migraines that come with it. She would regularly give employees the silent treatment. My roommate got two weeks of silent treatment from her once - why? Because he had what he thought was arthritis and turned out to be a fairly rare autoimmune disease (as in, an older doctor came into his room and asked “Do you mind if I take a look? I’ve only ever read about this in textbooks.” rare) and was in the hospital/ICU for two weeks. I (a department manager) got it for a month because after weeks of me being harassed and stalked by another employee, who would constantly physically intimidate me, she did nothing and I went to the union/hr. (Oh, she made sure to gaslight me in the meeting.) Her best friend (who was also the store union steward) also stopped speaking to me. It’s been about four years, and even though I’m in a different store, she still ignores me whenever I come back to help out. (The shitty manager “retired” a couple years ago, and the sense of relief in that store was amazing.)
Doesn’t $75 a little low for a cleaning fee like that, the Uber driver has to pay for the clean up both in time and cleaners. They probably won’t pick up any customers before it is cleaned either.
I feel like there was another side to the 1st story and there was some reason they hated her and didn't want to work with her, and the manager was happy to let her go to get rid of her.
Actually my guess is the real scenario after some things I have seen in my 57 years is some places you get clicks male or female! (Females tend to be worse). The girls that were mean probably thought the pregnant woman not being able to do certain things because of pregnancy so they had to do it and the boss was probably tired of that kinda of petty attitude !
Yeah. I really got a feeling like this was one of those stories of an entitled, obnoxious Karen, told from the other side. "We really tried to accomodate her demands, but she would always play the victim and claim she was being 'bullied'..." We only hear one side in these tales, and people always put themselves in the best light. Without having been there it is hard to know what really happened. Actually even being there you rarely know the full story.
Op I'm so glad you left that company hope the baby is going to be ok and it might be the UK but sue those collagues for workplace harassment let them toxic bullies suffer the consequences of there actions
Regarding that last story about Olive Garden--when I was in High School I worked briefly for Taco Bell and it was the worst job I've ever had. It was so bad that one day I went to work and told the manager that this would be my last day and she said, "If you quit without giving notice, you will NEVER work for Taco Bell again! You will regret this some day." I thought about it for a second and told her that I thought I could live with that. That was in 1979 and so far, I'm not regretting that decision at all.
Child and grandchild of nurses. It's hard to fire a nurse doing their job, no matter how much you hate them; a hospital and clinic will take an angry Karen over someone who abuses patients, which is sadly the lesser of two evils. It takes their behavior hindering work flow and performance of others to an extreme to actually have something done.
With the second story, pls rslash give us the links to his malicious compliance born home repair RUclips tutorial videos either in the comments or hidden in the video description (assuming they are any good of course or in the discord in which case: sorry) also, With "the landlord tried to get free labour out of me" it might have genuinely been worth it for the landlord paying the same price as rent deductions rather than just paying a handyman. If they were in the middle of draining there accounts for another property, especially if they wanted to get it before a particular tourist season for short stay renters or something then effectively, not having to make payments for nearly a full month or a year (if you are renting yearly) and having the payments made over several months all in all may have made a huge difference. I imagine they also wanted you to do the work for cheaper as a bonus so they were probably genuinely upset but it may not have hurt them much.
The story about the smaller shirts has a pretty logical explanation: OP's stepdad buys shirts of smaller size to encourage OP to lose weight, so they can fit. That being said, it is a douchy way to make this statement, and even more douchy to not get the point.
A longtime friend of mine confided a few years back that her own mother did this to her, buying clothes a size or two too small as "incentive". I used to really like her mom but I couldnt look at her the same way since.
Yes, this is most-likely the reason... but Slashy's explanation about how it _couldn't_ be sexual because he was a _male?_ Do bi/pansexuals not exist anymore?
@@Wendy_O._Koopa watch his older videos(especially with a woman on thumbnail or in title), I think he admitted his mistake once? Not sure tho I don't really remember If gender is involved then it's always worse for a girl in his thoughts That said most of his videos are fine
Yessssss... the 1st story. I could totally relate as i was a mom of a newborn when covid hit in march, working 2 jobs (hospital n nursing home), i had coworkers who would bully me too. So when i got preg again late 2020, they were upset bc i wasnt allowed to be in covid rooms. Sorry not sorry. Nursing home job wasthe best bc it kept me away from a corworker who hated my guts.. since she had to stay on the floors and all meals were packaged up i didnt have to deal with her crap... and she was often stuck with the cranky residents (which i kinda help made cranky bc the coworker wouldnt put certain things on their meal tickets.. haha). I was just doing my job. Haha
Last story reminded me of something that happened to me. I started my first part time job right out of high school making minimum wage ($3.35/hour) at a retail store and was told I would NEVER get a raise. I worked there almost a year. I was also going to collage on a music scholarship and our band was doing the music for the musical that the school was putting on (Oklahoma). Taking part in this was part of my class and if I skipped out I would loose my scholarship. Due to rehearsals I had to clock out early but the manager took offense to this. He wrote me up for leaving work early even thought I had told the assistant manager about my school commitment. When I told him it was school related and I could loose my scholarship, he told me "You need to pick one, are you going to work or go to school?" Easiest decision I ever made. After working a short shift I clocked out early to make it to the performance and was fired the next day. Today I am working in management in a multi billion dollar corporation and that store closed a long time ago.
Story 1: not at ALL surprised that this was a team of nurses. When less smart want to feel the same power and control that narcassistic surgeons and CEO’s pursue, they become nurses. Every bad experience I’ve ever had in a medical environment, I had with a rude, self important nurse.
Story 1: As much as I respect OPs manager for trying their best to have her back, they failed spectacularly by allowing this group of Karen Nurses to harass a pregnant colleague, like what would happen if the stress caused a miscarriage? That'd be grounds for a lawsuit due to a hostile work environment. OP should've said "Either I get authority over them or they get separated from each other, if not I'll quit."
Well, in a place with lots of protection for employees also means it's not so easy to fire people. Especially at a critical period where health workers are in very short supply.
The two sizes too small stepdad: I’m curious if he is doing it not because he doesn’t listen, but in order for op too lose weight. If that is the case, he is going about it all wrong. He should invite spend him to do something. Start small maybe go for a walk.
Lmao your freak out at the lady that hasn’t gone to Olive Garden is my EXACT response to that. Like bruh their salads and breadsticks are AMAZING dude 😂
I've never been, but I don't think there _are_ any Olive Gardens in Australia, and there's certainly none in the city I live in so... not happening any time soon. 😂
I kind of feel there is more to the first story then OP is saying, I've a feeling she may have told 'I'm only here so I can get the 9 month maternity leave' that kind of thing would instantly make everyone hate you
That makes no sense when you really look at the story and how her co-workers acted. It feels like your grasping at straws to paint the OP as the instigator.
rule number one of scamming: when you try and scam someone out of their money in an obvious way amd they are very enthusiastic about it, something is very wrong and you might get reverse scammed.
Olive Garden’s salad and bread sticks are not free anymore. Last year, on my birthday they said that you have to pay for them now. Getting bread sticks was almost 8 to 10 dollars and you have to pick salad or soup can’t get neither.

Last story... Did you hear about the Olive Garden server who went of vacation to Italy, because she wanted to experience Italian food? Is that too hard for you to work out? Olive Garden does NOT serve authentic Italian food. How do I know? My favorite old school Italian restaurant is Allo Sbarco di Enea not too far from the ruins in a town called Ostia Antica, a ways outside Rome. You know, actually in Italy.
the first story reminds me of my mom’s work. she’s also a phlebotomist and her coworkers are all either jerks and complain about everything or they don’t want to do anything. they always complain about my mom even though she’s been there for over 20 years and does way more than all of them, or they complain about each other for no reason. it just seems like all phlebotomists like complaining and not doing their jobs

The Nursing/medical industry is notorious for being toxic as hell to workers. I've seen a lot of people theorize that the while the mean boys from high school go on to become cops, the mean girls go on to become nurses. My mother worked at our local hospital for about 13 years (at least since before I was born up until then if i remember right), and they treated her like garbage. After my grandmother, her mother, passed away from breast cancer, they purposefully targeted her after she developed depression in order to force her out of her position (for example: making up things she did wrong, again if I remember right). She quit and now she works at a Veteran's home, where they're constantly understaffed and overworked in her building, with people leaving almost everyday. I find it amazing she's even still trying in the industry.
I can relate to that type of environment in the first story. I don't think I personally have anyone who actively dislikes me, but a lot of my coworkers, all the way up through management, have their cliques and all of them vent about each other to me. Some of the things they do are incredibly petty.
First story: on the one hand, props to manager for having OP's back, but I can't help but feel like they should have been a bit more proactive/involved with the situation. like, manager was on OP's side, but with a minimal amount of effort. Second story: I'm presuming OP actually specified their rate before starting. Fourth: ...wow. Fifth: lol, manager FAFO
The Father is giving his Son too small of a shirt as a back handed hint to lose wait. Bet ya Daddy is a none confrontational person and very passive aggressive.
That last story when op walked in on mother's day in her street clothes I expeted her to sit down and order food as a customer and when the manager gets mad then tell her I don't work here lady. 😹😹😹
The last story reminds of when I worked at olive garden during January of 2020. I was a dishwasher and I would miss lunch breaks often due to the high volume of work. The buses where I live always pretty shitty and where I worked the buses stop operating early than in the city. I would routinely ask my manager if I could leave early just so I could get on the last bus and was told "per company policy, I shouldn't leave early because it would leave most of the cleanup to the rest of the dishwashing crew (Which was only one person other than me). Free soups, breadsticks and salads were not enough to be stranded in a part of town I had no connection with and had the potential to be fucked with by police for existing there. I noped out of there after a month and haven't been back since.
7:42 People trying to screw others over tend to forget about the possibility of themselves getting screwed if they miss any important details. They get so caught up in getting other people to do the work for them that they don’t think of the consequences until after the fact.
Several years ago I went in to Olive Garden. I requested a booth and high chair, out of traffic path. The hostess said that was impossible. I said fine. There’s plenty of nearby restaurants as I started walking back towards the entrance. She was on my heels trying to have me stay. We enjoyed a wonderful Mexican restaurant, across the street!
@@bradevans5566 It was fine. We left and ate somewhere else. Plenty of other restaurants on the strip, both sides of the street. 5 Guys, Don Pancho, Red Robin, Perkins, Panera, McAllister’s, etc.
@@susanmcgee5877 yeah good luck with that if you live any small southern town. Options are beat the shit out of the owner or drive an hour. And the Jail provides better food.
@@bradevans5566 you mean they can't do their damn job I see you got a crotch fruit and they can't s c h l e p a goddamn high chair to the freaking table they know who's being seated where that's their job they're the hostess that's just f****** s***** malfeasance it's not my mother f****** problem they're not being tipped out
There was an amateur sketch comedy clip I saw once where two friends are walking down the street, just laughing, having a good time. They walk into an Olive Garden, and for a moment you think they're going to get a table, but they walk into the back. They both put on aprons, then the one guy just immediately starts beating the shit out of the other, who cowers in a corner crying "No papa no, please, stop!" then this hostess or waitress runs up and is all "Jimmy stop, he's just a child!" and she gets punched in the eye, then runs off crying "You're not the man I married!" Then this voice over "Olive Garden: When you're here, you're...FAMILY" in a low growl.
I really don’t know. Maybe it’s 12 hrs per day spent being an absolute nonjudgmental caring angel to people who throw urinals and bedpans at you disregard every bit of legit medical advice to listen to some social media advice, refuse to do anything that might actually help themselves, and sic their family on you if you don’t move fast enough to suit them. Absolutely zero care left for coworkers. When I went to nursing school we were warned that nursing was on of the few professions that”ate their young” instead of acting as mentors and helping new nurses
I worked in a grocery store with someone who did what the last OP did. She cleaned houses over 40 hours a week and worked there on the side. When she showed up less than 5 minutes late for the third time in maybe a month the manager told her she should get her priorities straight. She said "just becsuse you're not my top priority doesn't mean mine aren't straight." She dropped her little vest on the floor and noped out. The other manager called her and apologized, the first manager was reprimanded and the employee was back the next day. Don't assume you're someone's top priority.
I learned the hard way that my job is not my first priority they can f*** themselves my life is my first priority...but baseball bat to the MF head...trying to stay out of jail. That son of a b**** needs a good old-fashioned southern ass whipping. He's never had one little rich b**** but he needs a goddamn baseball bat applied to the head repeatedly to give him a f****** attitude adjustment useless piece of s***
2nd story: I heard that story before on another channel. The kicker about it is: OP disclosed upon questioning the comments that the landlord had OP‘s job on record. Engineer indeed. SOFTWARE engineer…
Wow I can identify with the hospital phlebotomist. I’m in the US and she was in the UK but maybe it’s a conmen thing. When I was a phlebotomist years ago I had an issue with bullying. Also with co workers who thought they were my boss. There was one who was the office brown noser. I had to go to our pre op and get one patients labs. Very often the nurses will grab you while your down there to do labs they have not even put in the system yet (to save us a trip back) so I went for one patient but came back with 5 different labs. Obviously it took me longer. The brown noser couldn’t run fast enough to the manager to tell her “she was gone for 35 minutes for ONE patient!” Waaa! So I get a talking to by the boss. I said to the manager “why don’t you look up how many labs I ACTUALLY got while I was down there!” She apologized. Then I went out to the lab. Another co worker saw I was upset and she’s what happened. I said loudly “oh some brown nosed bitch ran and tattled on me” and told her about all the extra labs I had done and why it took so long. The jerk co worker was right behind me when I said it and of course heard. She didn’t look me in the eye or speak to me for weeks. I’ve never worked in an environment so toxic in my life and these were grown women in their late 20s to 40s. One time I had a seizure on my way home from work and wrecked my car. I was unable to come into work the next day due to an injured leg and I was screamed at by a different employee. Yeah I worked another month or so and quit
I had something similar to the last story. I worked 2 waitresses jobs. One from 9-5 the second 530-11to 2 am depending on how busy. The first one said to me that I couldn't work a conflict of interest job and had to focus more on just one. Unfortunately that place was awful the their staff and the evening one was amazing. Quit the next day from the day one. Never looked back.
Committed couple: I understand the sentiment of the parents (I am a parent of adult children and have nearly the same opinion as those parents--but not quite). I have friends who have the same opinion as OP's parents. Sorry, but my home my rules. However, I will accept my (adult) children's decisions to not stay in my home as well. I realize that they have their own lives to lead, their own decisions to make.
Couldn't help but notice that if you were to flip that First Story, it could have read: "Our working group of 7 people is great - except that one person - a Karen."
Imagine being so petulant and childish that when your parents enforce a reasonable rule you decide to limit contact and therefore love. But hey.... good for you showing them that sleeping in the same room with your S/O is more important than they are
Gotta give the parents in the 5th story some credit since in the end they did show that their love for their kid superseded their conservative religious beliefs.
Well, what would happen is neighbors would be asking why isn't your kid spending the night when they come visit anymore, and that's embarrassing to have to deal with.
Should they be given credit for only allowing something when they could see there were consequences? They didn't care at all when it just negatively affected their kid/kid's partner. It seems more to do with them, they want to have people over for xmas. I would say they are nothing more than selfish people with piss poor convictions, they shouldn't be given credit, they should be scorned. Now if the consequences of their actions made them stop and think about how ridiculous they were being and made a conscious effort to be better, open-minded, and more accepting, then we could give them credit. However, I doubt that's the case.
@@gregmiller3523 or the he kid could have agreed to go one more night "without" as a point of respect for his parents. Then, they cod discuss before their next visit. I'm sure OP knew in advance it was going to happen since they had already planned their change of venue.
@@theblitz9 I'm not sure what you are trying to say, of course, they knew in advance, but that's not the point. The change of venue was the repercussion and the moment it came about they changed their tune. Not sure what your point is.
They better not complain about unwanted pregnancy. When a boyfriend and girlfriend sleep together, they could end up having sex resulting in pregnancy. The next thing you know, they want to get an abortion because of unwanted pregnancy. "My body, my choice," you say? You made your choice when you chose to have sex (not talking about rape victims). The truth is not always popular and it may at times get you labeled as a hater, but it must be said anyway. I'm not here for popularity.
The last story reminds me of a 2nd job I had a few years back. I worked at cracker barrel for extra money as a server. Now they are different than most restaurant. When food is in the window its ran by whomever. Well I'm a worker bee so of there isnt work to do id clean the stations. That meant I was always in back when food came up so I always ran it. But I dont get tips for it. The general manager who I hate (long story but my mom was the night cook and this manager had it our for her). I had my 6 month review and the manager had the balls to tell me "I think you can do more around here"...I kind of blew up. I told her I'm already keeping things stocked and cleaned, running almost all the food, seating folks and prep cooking and not getting paid for it. What MORE can I do. Not long after I found out I have fibromyalgia. It was painful to Walk, put in a bra and such and I ended up quitting. But not before I turned in the manager for lying about my shifts. Told me I no called no showed 3 times so she was firing me.....I had online proof that didn't happen and other issues. She was fired and banned from CB but found out later she went and ruined some great hole in the wall restaurants around the valley. She was such trash!
If you do handyman work yourself and it’s 12% over the handyman’s quote when you’re charging $50 p/h. That’s pretty good! Quite efficient. Although in Australian $50ph would be reasonable for a handyman anyways 🤔. But still a 12% loss of efficiency for it not being your normal job is pretty good!
On the malicious compliance story to do with the Op that was getting the shirts from their stepdad why the hell are they still putting up with this crap clearly they should go to in contact with their mom and their stepdad because clearly their mom doesn't care about them and of op tries to argue otherwise due to the fact how things were explained in the beginning
For the first story, it's sucks getting a new job just to find out most of your coworkers are so awful that it causes you migraines. In my opinion, if they were all going to harass you when you're just trying to do your job, you should've just left to find work elsewhere.
Honestly, if the landlord didn't have any alarm bells going off in his brain, then he probably didn't know about OP's hourly rate or thought that it was something like between 5 to 15 per hour.
In May 2022, I was sent to HR within 3 days of working with one territorial hobag. I'd been doing the same job at a different location for the past 4 years and knew everything to ask, but it was a different computer program. Week 2, I had a house fire (lost everything I owned) and asked for a day off and was given 3 days off. Friday of Week 3, I was fired. 2 months later, I found a new job with more pay and better hours. I'm so much happier now and have great coworkers and a great boss. It's September now, and everything that I own can literally fit in my car because I now know how little material stuff means to me since I lost everything.
The problem with these malicious compliance stories is that we only hear 1 side of them (taking for granted they are not fake to begin with). Like the first story we only hear about how awful these 5/6 coworkers were but we never heard their side? Did something happen that led to her being rejected by the group? Let's not pretend it isin't within the realm of possibilities.
*OP's Stepdad:* Why are you not wearing the clothes I gave you? *OP:* _[Proceeds to wear the gifted too small clothes at the next step-family gathering]_ *OP's Stepdad:* No not like that.
About the Olive Garden story. 1. If your husband works at the same restaurant & had a shift that day then - It would be even better if he Quite too. 2. Most conflicts can be solved by treating other people with Basic Human Decency.
Unfortunately lots of hospital departments have bullying issues. Normally all you can do is move to another hospital in the same trust. I'm glad that lady could get her own back on those gits, and it's brilliant the manager wouldn't put up with their bull.
Wow! For the couple that couldn't sleep together. How rude of them. She obviously knew of her parents views from the beginning after all she grew up in the home. It's their house yet she's upset at the rules? Very rude and inconsiderate. My wife and I lived together for years before we could afford to get married yet I never disrespected my parents house
The Uber story is even better when you think about it. If Uber suspended his account while texting the driver, then that means his trip ended in that parking lot, which is not where he wanted to be, and now he can't book a new trip to his actual destination because his account is suspended. So he just stranded himself at a random quick stop parking lot.
My thoughts on the fifth story: Yeah, maybe the parents are pushing their beliefs on their kid BUT mutual respect helps. It really wouldn't kill OP to sleep in a separate room for a few nights.
The cloths thing. That’s kind of like me. I used to grow like 2 inches a month meaning that cloths gotta for me would be too short a few months later. Luckily I think I’ve stopped growing now. “I think”
I was a cab driver for about 7 years. One day I picked up a couple from their house and he early on started getting verbally abusive. They were both giving as much as they got pretty much but he started getting physical and I told him, "I won't accept this behavior and if you don't calm down I'll be forced to end the ride." Rightfully understanding we were in the middle of nowhere with no cellular connection she apologised and said, "You're right and I apologise, There's no need for this and I won't continue. Thanks for being so patient." He told me to shut up and mind my own business. I said, "No problem sir." and pulled over.
His immediate reaction was to ask what the hell I was doing. I told him that his ride was over and he was more than welcome to call another taxi but that his ride was over. He got out and said, "Well?" to her expecting her to get out of the car. She said, "I wasn't kidding when I apologised and he said your ride was over, he didn't say anything about my ride." and we left leaving him at the side of the road. When we got to the location I had been asked to take them she paid me in full and gave me a $20 tip. When I said thank you and that I appreciated her response she said, "That's ok, I have all the cards and the money, I have no idea how he's getting home but that's not my problem." Smiled and went in the house.
Dude, the first story is like a group of teens not letting the shy girl eat with them at lunch. Why are these adult nurses literally acting like school bullies?
oh they can be worse than that. My ex tricked her way into making the schedule and literally screwed all of her coworkers out of overtime (taking it all for herself) She turned all of them against me during the divorce, but once they found out I got several apologies.
NHS workers tend to be either compassionate or extremely entitled, with no in-between. The UK media tends to deify the NHS and blame all their (many, MANY) failures on the government of the day, which leads to a lot of them feeling they can do no wrong.
Not nurses, phlebotimists,much lower on the food chain.
Oh it happens. Used to work at a convenience store as a teen/early 20's. There was a supervisor there that if she didn't like you then alot of the other staff didn't like you. It was like highschool clique drama while i worked there. She was like 40 and still acting like that lol
I can't believe that my 40 year old mum whose a nurse comes home and talks about how she's bullied by women her age who don't do any work and manipulate the calenders so they can go home hours early. It seems to be a very common occurance in healthcare, where you're either with the cool gang or not, which is so sad.
Yeah as an Ex Olive Garden employee the soup and salad isn't even free for you, nothing is free for you, and you only get the 50% off discount when you're working, but you will never have a moment to eat or take a break ever. Olive Garden just sucks honestly, the managers aren't allowed to be friends with employees/waitstaff so many just take that as an opportunity to be openly hostile
Applebee’s employee here in solidarity! We also pay 50% and don’t have time for breaks on shift.😡
How long are your shifts? If they’re a full shift, it’s ILLEGAL for you to not be allowed breaks.
It would be cheaper to bring your own lunch, though. Save your money.
@@dmf1301 Bring something in for lunch from a competitor.
@dmf1301 As a former server of both Red Lobster and Waffle House, the rules for servers is a bit different. Unless you’re a minor, you don’t get breaks at all (with the exception of quick smoke breaks during slow periods if you’re a smoker), no matter how long your shift is. My shifts at Waffle House were 10 hours overnight. I forget why exactly non-minor servers don’t get breaks, but in a way it makes sense since it’s usually just one server covering an area, so if someone were to be seated in the area while a server is on break they’d have no one to wait on them at all. But yeah, Red Lobster also gives you a 50% discount on food while you’re working, but unless it’s slow or you order an appetizer like mozzarella sticks that you can just pick at along the way, you’re not getting an actual meal in at all during your shift.
Management not allowed to be friends with employees..
Man, it's like they DON'T want an inclusive, non-hostile workplace. I mean I get not being buddy buddy and wariness about being too close, but not even friendly colleagues who look out for each other where they're able to? That's too far? Man, I thought retail could be bad sometimes but at least we're allowed to look out for each other!
First Story: I’m so happy she got the peace she deserved in the end and stuck it to those bullies. Luckily she lives in the UK and had a good manager to support her. Here in the US that would’ve gone down very differently.
yea
What helped was having a great manager/supervisor.
Still sucks for all the patients that got fucked over because of it tho.

Technically, yes... cause and effect is a thing, but that "Something" could be as little as just being happy on the wrong day (in the morons perspective) or being better at the job, than said morons (Jealousy and Envy), and so on, based on the pettyness in the story, i doubt it was anything fancy.

Re: the sleeping arrangements story. My own parents gave us a fairly strict Catholic upbringing, but figured once we were adults, what we did was no longer their business unless we asked them directly what they thought. They did put me and my then-boyfriend in separate rooms when we visited even though they knew we lived together, but that didn't bother me - their house, their rules; they respected my values so I figured the least I could do was respect theirs in return and not complain. (It's not like I wanted to have sex under the same roof as them, anyway!) We got married eventually, but I think if we hadn't they'd have shrugged and let us share a room at some point. They were pretty philosophical people. But it didn't seem worth jerking their chain over, anyway.
Sure, their house, their rules, but if you don't like the rules, you don't have to be at the house... Which is exactly how they navigated the issue, which got the rules changed. Funny how that works.

the last story is a masterclass in people who just want to throw around their authority. Being late consistently is wrong, but being on time 100% is impossible. There is nothing wrong with being a little late once in a while or taking a day off but businesses seem to forget you are a human with a life outside of them and managers only get to feel like managers when they are bossing people around and they will take any excuse to exercise their title. Being 10 minutes late to an 8 hr shift is not going to ruin the business by any means.
I remember being fired despite having 100% attendance and never asked for a day off, because I actually cared about my work and wanted all my projects turned in, which I was doing and quite well.
It was because I had Autism. Only reason I know is because she fired the only other Autistic employee that same morning and didn't give us a reason for our dismissal, just "Lovingness and kindness".
10:15 - "The guy who asked you to turn off the camera is the exact same guy that shows WHY OP wants a camera in the first place."
Funny you say that. Coworkers and I at a particularly toxic private ambulance company were bitching about our employer (it's the admin people who are toxic, not the EMTs) who micromanages and video-records us, because they don't trust us. All the while, they short paychecks, try to start drama, and abuse the EMTs in ways that are barely legal, or even flat-out illegal (but hard to prove)!
Just like a cheating spouse/SO, the one who is actually guilty of the behavior in question is usually the first one to accuse the other of it. (There's a lot of fiddly psychology stuff involved; too much for a YT comment.)
Anyway, TLDR, the ones who point fingers are usually just as guilty themselves, if not more so.
EMTs are dreadfully underpaid for all they do.

Just your classic abusive step-parent he just found a way to not have to really give his step-son a gift while insulting him at the same time... (not all step-parents are bad I'm just talking about the abusive ones who are awful to their step-child(ren).)
It’s a religious thing and America used to have religious beliefs as the social norm, meaning having sex before you were married was a huge no no and you were and could be ostracized by the community. Brothel workers and other sex workers were never made wives because they were never respected. It’s only been since the 1990s-2000s that sleeping together unmarried and having sex prematurely has become socially acceptable. Some families still hold this value and that’s fine, it’s personal choice
*First OP:* Shoutout to OP’s manager for having OP’s back. Those 5/6 colleagues screwed themselves over. Also, shoutout to the one colleague who gave OP a birthday card and chocolate.
*Second OP:* I agree with rSlash. How did OP’s terms and conditions not raise any red flags? Lol.
*Third OP:* I hope all of that was worth $75 and a suspended account. Like rSlash said, people like him are why rideshare drivers have cameras.
*Fourth OP:* I don’t know; OP’s stepfather could still be a prevert (misspelled on purpose because YT). I interpreted it as OP’s stepfather’s passive-aggressive attempt to get OP to lose weight.
I do feel bad for the one co-worker who was nice to OP since they're technically getting screwed over too.
for the 2nd story... why wouldn't they at least have sense enough to ask what the hourly rate was going to be? 🤣🤣
Agree with the fourth, when rslash said that if op was a girl it would be worse i was like, hol' up. That's not how it works, no matter the gender its bad either way.
@@ninjax6276 yeah rslash hasn't changed in the way he thinks even after all the hate he receives, for some reason he still believes everything is worse if it's about a girl/woman
That's brilliant about the parental leave. I had a similar situation in my circle of friends, she worked for a doctor in administration. In Germany, in some professions, there is a direct ban on working and paid leave until the birth if there is danger for the baby. She worked in an office, so the regulation did not apply to her for the time being. However, her boss made her life hell, he was a choleric person and yelled at her several times a day. After a week, after the first ultrasound with confirmation that she was 2 months pregnant, but her boss did not know anything yet, she went to the family doctor and described the situation. He smirked, wrote a certificate and told her winking that she was suffering from "terrible morning sickness and due to her low weight, mandatory rest was called for and therefore she could not continue working". The health insurance company accepted the certificate. The next morning, she went to her boss with a grin on her face, told him that she was pregnant and that unfortunately she would no longer be allowed to work with immediate effect and would then take at least one year's parental leave. He raged with anger, but couldn't do anything. The job was protected by law, he could only hire temporary help until she returned, but since he was a terrible choleric, he got no more recommendations from temp agencies or the employment office after the third termination in short time, since it was a small town and his behavior got around quickly, he got no more replacements and his wife was forced by him to do the office work. When my friend was back after more than 1.5 years, he started yelling at her again after a short time. Boss wife was visiting at lunchtime few days later and my friend told her that her husband was still yelling at her. Then the wife got angry, stormed into her husband's office and told him that she would not do the work in the office again, instead he would have to deal with a divorce if so and he should please treat his staff decently. Since that day, her boss was sooo friendly and accommodating like never before.
The cameras in an Uber are there for the driver's protection as well as for insurance purposes. If OP shut the camera off his insurance, to be able to work as a ride share driver, would have been voided. Some camera systems can't even be turned off while the Uber is in service.
Where is this? They're are a lot of uber drivers who don't have a camera.
@@mmgoodwings3981 It depends on the insurance company. I live in the UK and my friend does Uber to supplement his income, but his insurance company made him buy an internal security camera.
There's that, and the implication that the only _logical_ reason to ask anyone to turn off their camera is if you intend to do them bodily harm and/or rob them. Of course, I'm not exactly accusing this guy of being "logical." More likely he was just an idiot who couldn't think things through.
@@neilprice513 ok. I get that. Thanks. It's not a requirement in the US, but I wouldn't drive without one! Thanks for the information.

Former EVS Tech here, I can confirm hospitals have a horrible problem with cliques and childish drama. Just trying to do my job was a constant chore because I constantly had to clean up behind CNAs who wouldn't lift a single finger and constantly had to smile and nod to every nurse who thought they knew my job better than I did. Not getting involved in the mud slinging and rumor mills wasn't a daily task, it was an hourly one.
The only four people out of a staff of hundreds that I could get along with were the chaplain, one of the GPs, my shift lead who later became my supervisor, and the man I'm proud to say is now my fiancé.
I should point out that the emergency room and OR staff were slightly more professional about their horrible attitudes, but every day felt like they were more occupied gossiping than saving lives, and when I responded to STATed rooms with fervor, because, you know, saving lives, the responses I got were more often than not confusion and detracting comments. They didn't understand why I had any passion while working what I, in my naivete in the beginning, thought was a dream job.
My at the time boyfriend ended up leaving the hospital over a contract dispute and I quit alongside him. I've since then managed to get an overnight maintenance job at a department store and I've been enjoying roughly 20% better pay, better hours, better commute, and better medical benefits, to say nothing of a better work environment.
That hospital was sucking the life out of us and I've never looked back.
Well the reason hospitals have so much drama is got so many damn women working there anything plus women equals drama fire them all and hire men . Did you hear what Susie Derkins said? BEEP BEEP BEEP FLATLINE... every time I've been in the hospital you can hear the b****** laughing it up at the desk instead of waiting on patients
This entire video hit home with me, from the first story about being bullied at work to the story about the college graduate not allowed to sleep in the same bed as her boyfriend who they have been in a long committed relationship, that’s been my life here recently and I did the exact same as those two. Specifically, I walked out of my serving job of 2 1/2 years at a local diner yesterday after working 1 week of my notice when one of my coworkers asked why I don’t just leave already (after a solid 2 hours of being called a thief for getting my money off the table I waited on, getting yelled at over making an ice cream cone for a lady who came to the register asking for one and no one else would, and having snarky notes written on our section sheet.). I just told them, “You know what, I will”. I wrote a long note for my boss, clocked out, and left. Best part, they called me this morning and I did come in and work first shift since those girls are amazing and needed help BAD because the restaurant was absolutely slammed, got them to leave me all the tables at changeover, and stayed over while my coworkers cussed me under their breath as they watched me wait on practically the entire dining room while they didn’t make a dime until my tables left. Ha! I’ve never felt so proud of myself my whole life
I don't blame you for walking out. I'm tired of Karens thinking everything is about them. Just because you have to wait doesn't entitle you to immediate attention.
I find it weird how some people think living together is something that only wedded couples do. Couples moving in together is necessary because it helps establish trust, and it's the perfect way of getting to know that person more than what is shown via dating or visits, in addition to whether or not this person really is the one to marry. Basically, it answers the question "will I be able to tolerate this person forever?" I find it extra weird since there could be friends, siblings, acquaintances, or classmates who can live under the same roof (some of which can share the same bedroom).
In other words, I understand the "sex before marriage" thing, but this is the first time I've ever heard of the "roommates before marriage" thing.
My nan is very catholic and once said to me that if I ever "live in sin" ie. move in with a partner before marriage she would... do something? it was either disown me or smack my bottom. I don't really remember the details, I was pretty young when she said that. Young enough to not even know/understand what sex was. I remember being super weirded out by it, as I didn't understand WHY it was so "wrong" - it seemed innocent to me. It still does, really. Even if sex is involved, it's going to happen whether that couple lives together or not. It seems like a really pointless hill to die on. And I tend to agree, that you need to know whether or not you are able to live with your partner, and establish trust and important boundaries. Some people are not compatible as roommates, but are still great friends, and I think that holds true for romantic relationships too.
Also it's not 1922.
@@mollyoconnor9365 Well if you "live in sin," then the community knows about it and can judge you and look down their noses at you. This will make granny look bad by association. Totally unacceptable.
The way you are supposed to do it is live separately and fuck like jackrabbits in secret, then ask god for forgiveness later. Its all ok so long as you repent afterward and no-one knows you're actually "at it," so the family reputation remains intact. Gotta keep up those appearances!
It all makes more sense when you remember that these rules were invented by a bunch of long-dead people with less education than a modern five-year-old.
Glad the manager has her back. Usually it doesn’t go like that. Good for her, enjoy your time off :). I also have a feeling that the manager would not be stepping in to help.
most likely they're gonna spend the year short-staffed as punishment for being douchebags
Agreed.
At my old job, the manager was the head bully, and the upper admin supported him.
I ended up leaving for a much better position. Bonus: my leaving broke the 'you are garbage and lucky to work here' abuse spell, and several of the other top performers followed me out the door.
That story with t-shirts reminds me of my mother.
At any possible occasion she buys me clothes that are 1 size too small.
And she always says that I am supposed to loose weight to fit.
Guess what, I am gaining 1kg per year and I am fine with it.
Last time I was on diet I gained 20kg in 1 year and I felt hungry and tired all the time.
I am definitely not going on another diet again.
Water water water & just change your portions and drink more water !!
0:21 Yeah no...never ignore bullies, doing that is dangerous. Let me share a story
(By the way, these are all fake names)
When I was in middle school, I had a lot of bullies, but 2 of which I hated the most, they were these 2 girls named Korrey and Tessie, when they bothered me, I went to tell a teacher...the teacher's response was of course "Just ignore them and they'll eventually stop" I listened for some dumb reason...It never stopped, I just became easier prey. I told my friend Dustin about the bullying, he told me that Korrey and Tessie had been bullying him too...he then told me that when he tried to ignore them, they threw his lunchbox up a tree. I told all the teachers that I had complained to about the story the next time they gave me the same advice "Just ignore them and they'll stop" this time I would reply back "That doesn't work...they haven't stopped and they won't unless you do something" eventually, I stopped trusting my teachers with my safety as much...why? because they would always downplay my concerns about Korrey and Tessie. I then thought "You know what...if no ones going to help me...then I'll just try to protect myself from them on my own" as usual the same StUdEnT's CaN't DeFeNd ThEmSeLvEs Or ThEy'Ll GeT In TrOuBlE bullcrap happened...my defense mechanism wasn't even violence...it was just yelling at them to leave me the heck alone (I think at one point in time I aggressively told them that they really must have nothing better to do with their life if they find picking on some random girl minding her own business fun...I think it was also what got me in trouble with the principle) The bullying did eventually stop, but only after Tessie suddenly stopped showing up to school...my theories are: 1. Tessie was just a really bad influence on Korrey and once Tessie was gone Korrey realized how fricked up the things she was doing to me was 2. One of the teachers who actually cared about my situation, but kept getting shut down by the principle...were finally able to get Tessie into some major trouble, which was either a wake up call or noticeable warning to back off for Korrey and Tessie. I didn't really care what happened, I was just glad that all of it was finally over.
So yeah, don't ignore bullies...instead try to reach out to someone who actually gives a crap and doesn't try to brush you off.
The Uber passenger sounds like he would be the kind of dude that attacks the police and then claim victimhood status
I'm just confused, Uber drivers can give the people they drive a rating?
@@MIKasKiHy Probably to keep passengers from deliberately leaving bad reviews. Also, if you were an Uber driver and you saw bad reviews for a nearby passenger, would you really wanna risk it?
@@MIKasKiHy yes, they added that a few years back
This has been a thing since I started driving 5 years ago though aside from other drivers seeing it, it has no impact for the passenger
It wouldn’t surprise me. From what I’ve seen on these videos some passengers can be a nuisance - or even a danger to the drivers.
This is the same reason why I think it’s a smart idea for all taxi/shareride drivers to have similar surveillance cameras.
Manager: “If you don’t like it, just quit”
Me: “You. are. screwed, you are screwed, their contract ain’t renewed, you will cry as that guy will start see you die, in front of the boss, it will cross, you are just as nice as moss, you are screwed, you are screwed, you will probably spew, when you could have just kept him employed, if keep on lying, you should just stop trying, you are screwed, you are screwed, so please enjoy 😈”
*claps for the lyrics*
Good attempt, but needs revisions to fit the meter. You’ve got missing and extra syllables all over the place.
@@eroraf8637 yeah I wrote that on the fly without thinking, “Maybe I should make sound consistent and readable!”
God, that first story is bringing back bad memories of a shitty manager and the stress migraines that come with it.
She would regularly give employees the silent treatment. My roommate got two weeks of silent treatment from her once - why? Because he had what he thought was arthritis and turned out to be a fairly rare autoimmune disease (as in, an older doctor came into his room and asked “Do you mind if I take a look? I’ve only ever read about this in textbooks.” rare) and was in the hospital/ICU for two weeks. I (a department manager) got it for a month because after weeks of me being harassed and stalked by another employee, who would constantly physically intimidate me, she did nothing and I went to the union/hr. (Oh, she made sure to gaslight me in the meeting.)
Her best friend (who was also the store union steward) also stopped speaking to me. It’s been about four years, and even though I’m in a different store, she still ignores me whenever I come back to help out.
(The shitty manager “retired” a couple years ago, and the sense of relief in that store was amazing.)
Doesn’t $75 a little low for a cleaning fee like that, the Uber driver has to pay for the clean up both in time and cleaners. They probably won’t pick up any customers before it is cleaned either.
correct
knowing Uber, it was $150 to the customer and only $75 to the driver.
I think it would be cool to have more videos about uber experiences, from both drivers and riders.
Lmao, that first story. Glad the manager had your back 😀
I feel like there was another side to the 1st story and there was some reason they hated her and didn't want to work with her, and the manager was happy to let her go to get rid of her.
unfortunately, there could be absolutely no reason at all. can't explain it. I stopped trying to understand.
Actually my guess is the real scenario after some things I have seen in my 57 years is some places you get clicks male or female! (Females tend to be worse). The girls that were mean probably thought the pregnant woman not being able to do certain things because of pregnancy so they had to do it and the boss was probably tired of that kinda of petty attitude !
clearly, there is another side to the first story, and that is probably the hidden side of the iceberg lol.
Yeah. I really got a feeling like this was one of those stories of an entitled, obnoxious Karen, told from the other side.
"We really tried to accomodate her demands, but she would always play the victim and claim she was being 'bullied'..."
We only hear one side in these tales, and people always put themselves in the best light. Without having been there it is hard to know what really happened. Actually even being there you rarely know the full story.
They're not free salad and breadsticks, they're never ending.
Op I'm so glad you left that company hope the baby is going to be ok and it might be the UK but sue those collagues for workplace harassment let them toxic bullies suffer the consequences of there actions
Regarding that last story about Olive Garden--when I was in High School I worked briefly for Taco Bell and it was the worst job I've ever had. It was so bad that one day I went to work and told the manager that this would be my last day and she said, "If you quit without giving notice, you will NEVER work for Taco Bell again! You will regret this some day." I thought about it for a second and told her that I thought I could live with that. That was in 1979 and so far, I'm not regretting that decision at all.
Child and grandchild of nurses. It's hard to fire a nurse doing their job, no matter how much you hate them; a hospital and clinic will take an angry Karen over someone who abuses patients, which is sadly the lesser of two evils. It takes their behavior hindering work flow and performance of others to an extreme to actually have something done.
With the second story, pls rslash give us the links to his malicious compliance born home repair RUclips tutorial videos either in the comments or hidden in the video description (assuming they are any good of course or in the discord in which case: sorry)
also,
With "the landlord tried to get free labour out of me" it might have genuinely been worth it for the landlord paying the same price as rent deductions rather than just paying a handyman.
If they were in the middle of draining there accounts for another property, especially if they wanted to get it before a particular tourist season for short stay renters or something then effectively, not having to make payments for nearly a full month or a year (if you are renting yearly) and having the payments made over several months all in all may have made a huge difference.
I imagine they also wanted you to do the work for cheaper as a bonus so they were probably genuinely upset but it may not have hurt them much.
The story about the smaller shirts has a pretty logical explanation:
OP's stepdad buys shirts of smaller size to encourage OP to lose weight, so they can fit.
That being said, it is a douchy way to make this statement, and even more douchy to not get the point.
That’s what I thought too. And I agree it’s crappy of stepdad to do this to OP.
A longtime friend of mine confided a few years back that her own mother did this to her, buying clothes a size or two too small as "incentive". I used to really like her mom but I couldnt look at her the same way since.
Yes, this is most-likely the reason... but Slashy's explanation about how it _couldn't_ be sexual because he was a _male?_ Do bi/pansexuals not exist anymore?

Yessssss... the 1st story. I could totally relate as i was a mom of a newborn when covid hit in march, working 2 jobs (hospital n nursing home), i had coworkers who would bully me too. So when i got preg again late 2020, they were upset bc i wasnt allowed to be in covid rooms. Sorry not sorry. Nursing home job wasthe best bc it kept me away from a corworker who hated my guts.. since she had to stay on the floors and all meals were packaged up i didnt have to deal with her crap... and she was often stuck with the cranky residents (which i kinda help made cranky bc the coworker wouldnt put certain things on their meal tickets.. haha). I was just doing my job. Haha

Last story reminded me of something that happened to me. I started my first part time job right out of high school making minimum wage ($3.35/hour) at a retail store and was told I would NEVER get a raise. I worked there almost a year. I was also going to collage on a music scholarship and our band was doing the music for the musical that the school was putting on (Oklahoma). Taking part in this was part of my class and if I skipped out I would loose my scholarship. Due to rehearsals I had to clock out early but the manager took offense to this. He wrote me up for leaving work early even thought I had told the assistant manager about my school commitment. When I told him it was school related and I could loose my scholarship, he told me "You need to pick one, are you going to work or go to school?" Easiest decision I ever made. After working a short shift I clocked out early to make it to the performance and was fired the next day. Today I am working in management in a multi billion dollar corporation and that store closed a long time ago.
Story 1: not at ALL surprised that this was a team of nurses. When less smart want to feel the same power and control that narcassistic surgeons and CEO’s pursue, they become nurses. Every bad experience I’ve ever had in a medical environment, I had with a rude, self important nurse.
Story 1: As much as I respect OPs manager for trying their best to have her back, they failed spectacularly by allowing this group of Karen Nurses to harass a pregnant colleague, like what would happen if the stress caused a miscarriage? That'd be grounds for a lawsuit due to a hostile work environment. OP should've said "Either I get authority over them or they get separated from each other, if not I'll quit."
Well, in a place with lots of protection for employees also means it's not so easy to fire people. Especially at a critical period where health workers are in very short supply.
I'm sooo glad that first manager really had OPs back. Refreshing to hear and quite similar to some of my own managers.
There are plenty of good managers/supervisors out there, but the internet just looooooooove to trash talk the bad ones more.
@@danielbrant6740 humans love the negative side, because it is more entertaining.

The Nursing/medical industry is notorious for being toxic as hell to workers. I've seen a lot of people theorize that the while the mean boys from high school go on to become cops, the mean girls go on to become nurses. My mother worked at our local hospital for about 13 years (at least since before I was born up until then if i remember right), and they treated her like garbage. After my grandmother, her mother, passed away from breast cancer, they purposefully targeted her after she developed depression in order to force her out of her position (for example: making up things she did wrong, again if I remember right). She quit and now she works at a Veteran's home, where they're constantly understaffed and overworked in her building, with people leaving almost everyday. I find it amazing she's even still trying in the industry.
I can relate to that type of environment in the first story. I don't think I personally have anyone who actively dislikes me, but a lot of my coworkers, all the way up through management, have their cliques and all of them vent about each other to me. Some of the things they do are incredibly petty.
First story: on the one hand, props to manager for having OP's back, but I can't help but feel like they should have been a bit more proactive/involved with the situation. like, manager was on OP's side, but with a minimal amount of effort.
Second story: I'm presuming OP actually specified their rate before starting.
Fourth: ...wow.
Fifth: lol, manager FAFO

That last story when op walked in on mother's day in her street clothes I expeted her to sit down and order food as a customer and when the manager gets mad then tell her I don't work here lady. 😹😹😹
That would've been AWESOME.
The last story reminds of when I worked at olive garden during January of 2020. I was a dishwasher and I would miss lunch breaks often due to the high volume of work. The buses where I live always pretty shitty and where I worked the buses stop operating early than in the city. I would routinely ask my manager if I could leave early just so I could get on the last bus and was told "per company policy, I shouldn't leave early because it would leave most of the cleanup to the rest of the dishwashing crew (Which was only one person other than me). Free soups, breadsticks and salads were not enough to be stranded in a part of town I had no connection with and had the potential to be fucked with by police for existing there. I noped out of there after a month and haven't been back since.
7:42 People trying to screw others over tend to forget about the possibility of themselves getting screwed if they miss any important details. They get so caught up in getting other people to do the work for them that they don’t think of the consequences until after the fact.
Several years ago I went in to Olive Garden. I requested a booth and high chair, out of traffic path. The hostess said that was impossible. I said fine. There’s plenty of nearby restaurants as I started walking back towards the entrance. She was on my heels trying to have me stay.
We enjoyed a wonderful Mexican restaurant, across the street!
If you must have a booth, the high chair is going to be in the aisle at most places. It’s not something that a hostess can fix.

There was an amateur sketch comedy clip I saw once where two friends are walking down the street, just laughing, having a good time. They walk into an Olive Garden, and for a moment you think they're going to get a table, but they walk into the back. They both put on aprons, then the one guy just immediately starts beating the shit out of the other, who cowers in a corner crying "No papa no, please, stop!" then this hostess or waitress runs up and is all "Jimmy stop, he's just a child!" and she gets punched in the eye, then runs off crying "You're not the man I married!" Then this voice over "Olive Garden: When you're here, you're...FAMILY" in a low growl.
Frist Story: Why nurses are so toxic? this isn't the first time I read/ear about nurses being toxic.
I really don’t know. Maybe it’s 12 hrs per day spent being an absolute nonjudgmental caring angel to people who throw urinals and bedpans at you disregard every bit of legit medical advice to listen to some social media advice, refuse to do anything that might actually help themselves, and sic their family on you if you don’t move fast enough to suit them. Absolutely zero care left for coworkers. When I went to nursing school we were warned that nursing was on of the few professions that”ate their young” instead of acting as mentors and helping new nurses
I worked in a grocery store with someone who did what the last OP did. She cleaned houses over 40 hours a week and worked there on the side. When she showed up less than 5 minutes late for the third time in maybe a month the manager told her she should get her priorities straight. She said "just becsuse you're not my top priority doesn't mean mine aren't straight." She dropped her little vest on the floor and noped out. The other manager called her and apologized, the first manager was reprimanded and the employee was back the next day. Don't assume you're someone's top priority.
I learned the hard way that my job is not my first priority they can f*** themselves my life is my first priority...but baseball bat to the MF head...trying to stay out of jail. That son of a b**** needs a good old-fashioned southern ass whipping. He's never had one little rich b**** but he needs a goddamn baseball bat applied to the head repeatedly to give him a f****** attitude adjustment useless piece of s***
2nd story: I heard that story before on another channel. The kicker about it is: OP disclosed upon questioning the comments that the landlord had OP‘s job on record. Engineer indeed. SOFTWARE engineer…
"Play stupid games win stupid prizes" LOVED THAT!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow I can identify with the hospital phlebotomist. I’m in the US and she was in the UK but maybe it’s a conmen thing. When I was a phlebotomist years ago I had an issue with bullying. Also with co workers who thought they were my boss. There was one who was the office brown noser. I had to go to our pre op and get one patients labs. Very often the nurses will grab you while your down there to do labs they have not even put in the system yet (to save us a trip back) so I went for one patient but came back with 5 different labs. Obviously it took me longer. The brown noser couldn’t run fast enough to the manager to tell her “she was gone for 35 minutes for ONE patient!” Waaa! So I get a talking to by the boss. I said to the manager “why don’t you look up how many labs I ACTUALLY got while I was down there!” She apologized. Then I went out to the lab. Another co worker saw I was upset and she’s what happened. I said loudly “oh some brown nosed bitch ran and tattled on me” and told her about all the extra labs I had done and why it took so long. The jerk co worker was right behind me when I said it and of course heard. She didn’t look me in the eye or speak to me for weeks. I’ve never worked in an environment so toxic in my life and these were grown women in their late 20s to 40s. One time I had a seizure on my way home from work and wrecked my car. I was unable to come into work the next day due to an injured leg and I was screamed at by a different employee. Yeah I worked another month or so and quit
I had something similar to the last story. I worked 2 waitresses jobs. One from 9-5 the second 530-11to 2 am depending on how busy. The first one said to me that I couldn't work a conflict of interest job and had to focus more on just one. Unfortunately that place was awful the their staff and the evening one was amazing. Quit the next day from the day one. Never looked back.
Committed couple: I understand the sentiment of the parents (I am a parent of adult children and have nearly the same opinion as those parents--but not quite). I have friends who have the same opinion as OP's parents. Sorry, but my home my rules. However, I will accept my (adult) children's decisions to not stay in my home as well. I realize that they have their own lives to lead, their own decisions to make.
Couldn't help but notice that if you were to flip that First Story, it could have read: "Our working group of 7 people is great - except that one person - a Karen."
Imagine being so petulant and childish that when your parents enforce a reasonable rule you decide to limit contact and therefore love. But hey.... good for you showing them that sleeping in the same room with your S/O is more important than they are
Yes, I would have said "Bye" back and that would have been that. OP is the entitled & disrespectful Karen; parents shouldn't have given in.
Gotta give the parents in the 5th story some credit since in the end they did show that their love for their kid superseded their conservative religious beliefs.
Well, what would happen is neighbors would be asking why isn't your kid spending the night when they come visit anymore, and that's embarrassing to have to deal with.
Should they be given credit for only allowing something when they could see there were consequences? They didn't care at all when it just negatively affected their kid/kid's partner. It seems more to do with them, they want to have people over for xmas. I would say they are nothing more than selfish people with piss poor convictions, they shouldn't be given credit, they should be scorned.
Now if the consequences of their actions made them stop and think about how ridiculous they were being and made a conscious effort to be better, open-minded, and more accepting, then we could give them credit. However, I doubt that's the case.
@@gregmiller3523 or the he kid could have agreed to go one more night "without" as a point of respect for his parents.
Then, they cod discuss before their next visit.
I'm sure OP knew in advance it was going to happen since they had already planned their change of venue.
@@theblitz9 I'm not sure what you are trying to say, of course, they knew in advance, but that's not the point. The change of venue was the repercussion and the moment it came about they changed their tune. Not sure what your point is.
They better not complain about unwanted pregnancy. When a boyfriend and girlfriend sleep together, they could end up having sex resulting in pregnancy. The next thing you know, they want to get an abortion because of unwanted pregnancy. "My body, my choice," you say? You made your choice when you chose to have sex (not talking about rape victims). The truth is not always popular and it may at times get you labeled as a hater, but it must be said anyway. I'm not here for popularity.
The last story reminds me of a 2nd job I had a few years back. I worked at cracker barrel for extra money as a server. Now they are different than most restaurant. When food is in the window its ran by whomever. Well I'm a worker bee so of there isnt work to do id clean the stations. That meant I was always in back when food came up so I always ran it. But I dont get tips for it. The general manager who I hate (long story but my mom was the night cook and this manager had it our for her). I had my 6 month review and the manager had the balls to tell me "I think you can do more around here"...I kind of blew up. I told her I'm already keeping things stocked and cleaned, running almost all the food, seating folks and prep cooking and not getting paid for it. What MORE can I do. Not long after I found out I have fibromyalgia. It was painful to Walk, put in a bra and such and I ended up quitting. But not before I turned in the manager for lying about my shifts. Told me I no called no showed 3 times so she was firing me.....I had online proof that didn't happen and other issues. She was fired and banned from CB but found out later she went and ruined some great hole in the wall restaurants around the valley. She was such trash!
If you do handyman work yourself and it’s 12% over the handyman’s quote when you’re charging $50 p/h. That’s pretty good! Quite efficient. Although in Australian $50ph would be reasonable for a handyman anyways 🤔. But still a 12% loss of efficiency for it not being your normal job is pretty good!
On the malicious compliance story to do with the Op that was getting the shirts from their stepdad why the hell are they still putting up with this crap clearly they should go to in contact with their mom and their stepdad because clearly their mom doesn't care about them and of op tries to argue otherwise due to the fact how things were explained in the beginning
"Correctly guessed my sexuality but was quite rude about it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'd be fast friends with that dude
For the first story, it's sucks getting a new job just to find out most of your coworkers are so awful that it causes you migraines. In my opinion, if they were all going to harass you when you're just trying to do your job, you should've just left to find work elsewhere.
Honestly, if the landlord didn't have any alarm bells going off in his brain, then he probably didn't know about OP's hourly rate or thought that it was something like between 5 to 15 per hour.
In May 2022, I was sent to HR within 3 days of working with one territorial hobag. I'd been doing the same job at a different location for the past 4 years and knew everything to ask, but it was a different computer program. Week 2, I had a house fire (lost everything I owned) and asked for a day off and was given 3 days off. Friday of Week 3, I was fired. 2 months later, I found a new job with more pay and better hours. I'm so much happier now and have great coworkers and a great boss. It's September now, and everything that I own can literally fit in my car because I now know how little material stuff means to me since I lost everything.
The problem with these malicious compliance stories is that we only hear 1 side of them (taking for granted they are not fake to begin with). Like the first story we only hear about how awful these 5/6 coworkers were but we never heard their side? Did something happen that led to her being rejected by the group? Let's not pretend it isin't within the realm of possibilities.
Imagine op just cleaned his own car and made the biggest tip for the terrible rider
This! I wouldn’t bother getting my car detailed for one spill.
*OP's Stepdad:* Why are you not wearing the clothes I gave you?
*OP:* _[Proceeds to wear the gifted too small clothes at the next step-family gathering]_
*OP's Stepdad:* No not like that.
Years of reading reddit and rSlash is still surprised when people lack common sense
4th story; that's how my grandfather is. If you're not married, you don't share a bed.
"HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITHOUT FREE SALAD AND BREADSTICKS!?" This is now my favorite thing you have said.
not being able to eat free salad and breadsticks from olive garden anymore, really got to me 😩
Are we sure OP 1 didn't leave out any important details? Idk, I just feel like that couldn't have been the whole story..
About the Olive Garden story.
1. If your husband works at the same restaurant & had a shift that day then
- It would be even better if he Quite too.
2. Most conflicts can be solved by treating other people with Basic Human Decency.
When 5 out of 6 coworkers hate you that means you did something. I wish the first story was a lot more honest. I’m what you call a victim blamer.
RSlash, what do you mean WITHOUT free salad and bread sticks? Their significant other still works in Olive garden (i think its called that)
Unfortunately lots of hospital departments have bullying issues. Normally all you can do is move to another hospital in the same trust. I'm glad that lady could get her own back on those gits, and it's brilliant the manager wouldn't put up with their bull.
Wow! For the couple that couldn't sleep together. How rude of them. She obviously knew of her parents views from the beginning after all she grew up in the home. It's their house yet she's upset at the rules? Very rude and inconsiderate. My wife and I lived together for years before we could afford to get married yet I never disrespected my parents house
Currently sick at home and can't go to college, your content is helping me stay entertained while I recover! 🥺❤️
Hope you feel better ...
Feel better soon! 💚
Get better soon
Get well soon!
Speedy recovery 💕
The Uber story is even better when you think about it. If Uber suspended his account while texting the driver, then that means his trip ended in that parking lot, which is not where he wanted to be, and now he can't book a new trip to his actual destination because his account is suspended. So he just stranded himself at a random quick stop parking lot.
My thoughts on the fifth story:
Yeah, maybe the parents are pushing their beliefs on their kid BUT mutual respect helps.
It really wouldn't kill OP to sleep in a separate room for a few nights.
The cloths thing. That’s kind of like me. I used to grow like 2 inches a month meaning that cloths gotta for me would be too short a few months later. Luckily I think I’ve stopped growing now. “I think”
