47 Shocking Confessions From Employees Who Uncovered Their Bosses’ Darkest Secrets
They get in the room and the supervisor sees the rep and gets instantly uncomfortable (good sign). The rep asks what the meeting was about and the supervisor goes “It’s about all the errors”! My wife and the rep had the sense not to bring up the attendance issue and let the supervisor talk. Finally my wife tells the room that most of the errors she’s has been told about were not hers, or were corrected before any harm was done, and that she emailed the supervisor saying as much each time, and that the supervisor didn’t respond to those emails. On top of that, the reps brings up that sometimes the system itself is the cause of some errors. So of the few errors that seemed legit, 3 were system errors anyway.
The best part: Once they leave the meeting the rep informs my wife this supervisor is being investigated for her favoritism and reprisal. So she had my wife exactly were she wanted her with the attendance issue, panicked when she saw the union rep, made the meeting about her performance instead, and outed herself for doing the thing she’s being investigated for!
The rep asked for all those emails and to be bcc’d on future incidents too. Not sure when or if anything will come of it. But [darn] I’ve never heard of someone fumbling that hard in real life. I was crying laughing so hard.
So I work in HR and my boss has rejected perfectly good candidates for the dumbest reasons.
Guy wore brown shoes with a black belt. “Shows poor attention to detail”
Woman asked about work/life balance during the interview. Apparently that means she’s “not committed”
Someone said “um” twice while answering a technical question. “Poor communication skills”
Candidate was 2 minutes early instead of exactly 5 minutes early. “Can’t follow simple instructions”
Person brought a coffee into the interview. “Unprofessional”
The kicker? Half these people had better qualifications than our current team. But sure, let’s hire based on shoe color instead of actual skills.
Yesterday I clocked 14 hours, missed dinner with my mom, skipped my shower; but sure, I’m “indispensable.” They treat me like the office Wifi. Always there, always expected, but with zero appreciation.
I asked for just 5% more. They looked at me like I asked for their firstborn. They said to me that gratefulness is part of the company culture. And I’m like, is my gratitude refundable?
My side hustle is pulling my sanity out of a hat every morning. My real job is convincing myself I’m not being exploited.
If any of yall out there still clockin in? Ask yourself: am I building their dream, or am I digging my own grave?
It’s honestly wild coz my boss took a two-week vacation and the office instantly became calmer and more productive. No random “urgent” emails, no meetings that could’ve been a Slack message, no micromanaging. Everyone just did their work, helped each other out, and went home on time. The energy was relaxed but efficient. Then he came back and immediately started changing things that didn’t need fixing, stressing people out, and creating more work for no reason. I genuinely think a lot of workplaces would run smoother if managers stopped trying so hard to manage.
I was terminated last Monday after 3 months of my new boss trying to get rid of me. Consecutive write ups followed by a 30 day PIP, then termination.
I notified the company of my Autism after 2 write up’s, trying to explain that my “attitude” was not due to me not wanting to do my job, or being unprofessional. And I explained to them that I have too many menial tasks that it’s impossible to get everything perfect.
Their response was a PIP, so that they would have proper documentation to terminate me.
Fine. Whatever.
The next day after my termination my former boss texted me asking for the passcode to my work computer. I told her to call IT. She said it was IT’s suggestion to ask me. She wanted to set an OOO message to my account. I told her to just deactivate my account and the clients will get the message.
A week later, today, she texted again “I hate to be an jerk but I need your help”. And she’s been waiting for my response.
The nerve of some people.
My boss called me from the airport in September saying his card was declined and asked me to book his $623 flight on my personal card. Said he’d pay me back as soon as he landed
That was September 12th. It’s now November 13th
I’ve asked him SIX times and keep getting excuses
I’ll Venmo you this week (never did)
Send me the receipt again (I did nothing happened)
I’m waiting for my expense report to process (why does that matter?)
Last week: You’re being really pushy about this
I’M BEING PUSHY??? IT’S $623 AND IT’S BEEN 2 MONTHS
I make around $52k a year. This is basically my entire discretionary budget for a month. The worst part is that I saw him expense it to the company. He already got reimbursed. He has the money. He’s just not paying me back
Do I go to HR? Small claims court? Just accept I got scammed by my own boss I feel so stupid but he’s my BOSS and he was in a panic and I was trying to help (and I didnt want to get fired)
