Juiciest Work Place Stories on r/AskReddit (1 Hour Reddit Compilation)

I got a job in a grocery store,24 miles from my home..across a mountain and in another time zone. It seemed alright to begin with,but when my car broke down and I had to have my car hauled home,things changed. I called the store and told them all this.....well a few days later my car wasn't ready for me to work that weekend...so I called the store and the lady who had hired me started screaming and yelling and cursing me and saying I was a no call,no show and nobody knew where I was! It was completely unnecessary and unprofessional,not to mention childish. Anyway when I did get my car fixed,I called them and they asked me to come in now if I wanted to...be here by 5.....I agreed to that,and then realize I agreed to be there when 5 is in about 15 minutes in the time zone where the store is....My last day there,I'm working frozen food back stock and after work I'm going to drive the 90 miles to visit my sister and mother who I've not seen in 4 months. It gets down to 12 minutes before I'm to clock out and this same bitch decides I need to run every pallet of milk and all of the eggs and I think something else too! All day long she hadn't said one word about this...I didn't walk out,but I should have.

nothin related to the video but I made an eyepatch for my left eye cuz it was hurting out of 4 pieces of toilet paper, some tape, and rubber bands

That guy deserves it...

Thanks for making videos I like them

many years ago, I worked on a job with a carpenter called Martin, if there was a way to mess a job up, he would do it. his nickname was "Bungle", one day somebody wrote the best piece of graffiti about him that I have ever seen, it said, "When Bungle and his wife make love, his wife always gets on tp because Bungle can only f**k up"

Dammit Bob!

Even though it’s kinda obvious that most of these are embellished or fake, it’s still super entertaining nevertheless.

Dvd player in the freezer. Was frozen/fresh manager on my over night shift at walmart in my hometown. Found it doing my order.

That deaf one hit home. Shots wholesome as frig

The story about the deaf coworker is so wholesome. You're a rock star op!

That Bob story reminds me of my recent manager. I had a Love/Hate relationship with her while she was the GM. But when she left, I really miss her. She was just like Bob. She wanted the best for her employees, which made her come off like a B** at times. But she only meant well. Now that she is gone, the place has fell drastically.

who else watches this while browsing other stuff

Some of these are really nice, like dude who learned sign.👍👏 Some are also hilarious and I have to rewind and laugh at them again 🤣 ⏪ 🤣

The person doing archery in Wal-Mart- at least with recurve bows, they usually don't have sights. Learning how to aim with a bow is a part of learning how to do archery

I work in a salon and this old lady I worked with was okay at first but eventually I noticed she would lie about anything. She was a hypochondriac, negative and always complained. She was loud and dramatic. No one liked her. We found out she was talking crap about all of us to her customers and she became the most hated in the salon. My boss eventually got her relocated. That old lady hated my guts 😂

There’s a girl I work with that everyone hates. I won’t say her name or where we work but it’s a chicken place. Her bf is in the military and she’s cheating on him with his best friend. She’s always complaining about how his best friend feels bad about sleeping with her but he keeps doing it. She brags about how toxic she is to our u set age workers. She says she doesn’t know how to do anything and we won’t teach her but when we try and teach her she says she knows how to do it and she refuses to do it the correct way cause she doesn’t like it. She will come back to my station and mess with stuff and then get mad when I fix it and throw a fit. She doesn’t know when our other coworker is being serious when he tells her to shut up and leave him alone. She complains about not having enough hours to pay her bills but the second she’s scheduled for 40-40+ she complains about having to many hours. She acts like she is the boss when she doesn’t do anything. I could keep going but I guess that’s enough

I quit working at target because I worked in grocery and stocked my 8 isles plus 20 additional isles, take all returns from any department to the back to restock, organize the back stock, and was paid $9.80 per hour in 2018 when the minimum wage was $11. It may seem stupid to quit over $2.20 per hour of less pay but after taxes I was receiving $7 per hour for 50 plus hours per week and my hours over 40 were paid as standard pay and not at overtime of time and half. It certainly started to show I wasn't appreciated and was denied for any promotion or raise where coworkers that were hired months after me and worked maybe 20 hours a week, not clock out for lunch and not stock their grocery isles unless corporate was in the store but waited until corporate was coming to see their isles. Id encourage them to put their phones down, stop taking breaks to sit on their phone behind the loading docks, and I'd give them a hand but gave up when I was told Id be fired for encouraging my coworkers to work and not be on their phones or taking breaks as I'm not the manager. The grocery department was being stocked by myself and all back stock was organized and returns from any department was put back as I'd be asked by name via our walkie-talkies to restock the returns, due to my ability to handle multiple tasks and not leave my section unfinished when I'd clock out to go home, and would cover for my department when any slack was noticed.

I work fast food and one time almost all of the cups had a hole in the bottom of them, and it was pretty clear that somebody had done it intentionally. we had recently gotten some security cameras installed (stuff kept going missing) and sure enough, closing shift, when nobody else was looking, one guy stood there methodically poking holes in all of the cups. from what I heard that guy was kind of a dick and I guess that was his way of quitting or getting fired because he had to know he would be caught, the monitors are right there in the office

Everyday is a new day to your boss's wife I know somebody like that

The sign language story is the best. Inclusion matters

Witnessed the police in my Walmart store Frisk a guy and found on him two Glocks, one with a 50 round drum.standing in the back by Electronics. I assume that he was going to shoot up the store. I have video of this if anyone is interested

I'll say it again. Guy who became friends and learned asl with the deaf guy is a champ. He's the type of person we all should strive to emulate.

If I was a Walmart worker, I would say "I don't get paid enough to deal with this shit, I'm out," but end up going to the staff lounge.

personally, i don't believe in skipping breaks because of being busy, its also illegal where i live, breaks are mandatory by law, but when i worked a job that gave an additional 15 each day, as the more experienced employee i would send the newbies for breaks during rushes and take mine when it calmed down

i used to work or a retail store and if you bought an expensive enough laptop you could buy a monthly warranty plan that included everything including accidental damage, and if you had to send it out for repair, you could get a loaner. Unfortunately, they way we assigned the loaner machine we basically sold it to an internal account, which had an insurance limit of $1000, so we couldn't give out a loaner above that value. This means if you have a macbook, you won't get a macbook loaner, because we didn't sell any MacBooks for less than $1000, people often forget this detail when selling the warranty which creates issues of its own, but we arent supposed bend, because whoever loans above that value becomes liable for the device.

Well, i had a coworker who was pretty bad at his job, he was taking the same college program i had graduated from, but you wouldn't know it and he dicided to send out a macbook pro loaner when he was working alone one night (he could have called MOD if there was a customer issue) and a few weeks later when we called in the customer for their laptop and they brought the loaner with them, he was the one to check it back in, we noticed it was a mac and this raised a few eyebrows, later that day after he had gone home, we went to reset and repack the thing to flip it to open box, only to find the thing had not been inspected when it was brought back in, and it was covered in smeared and dried blood... the fuck, immediate;ly put everything down and go wash hands, went to get gloves so i could bag it, but that laptop is now garbage.

i never heard why specifically, but that employee was fired halfway through a shift about a month later, they just casually called him into the office and we didn't see him again, about an hour later we got a text from a manager telling us not to reach out to him

fun fact, mango plants contain the same or similar compound to poison ivy, its just in RELLY low concentrations in the fruit, but its in the stems and leaves. second fun fact, if you are exposed to poison ivy first you can become allergic to mangoes as your body identifies the compound as bad, but if you have mangoes before being exposed to poison ivy you are fine

“I may not be the most hated person here. But I hate myself for continuing to work here.”

Hahaha oof man I feel you

Here’s the thing about being a “team player”... I will help my fellow workers out as much as I possibly can, but I’m not going to work myself to death doing so. I’m not going to skip my breaks. I’m not going to do unpaid OT. I’m not working hours past my schedule. I’m not going to leave my work undone to help another just for me to end up being thrown to the wolves.

If that makes me selfish and hated, that’s unfortunate but fine to me. Blame management, not me.

This also depends on how I’m treated by said coworkers. Treat me well, and I will do all I can; I’ll be willing to stay late and/or skip some breaks (never unpaid OT- know your worth!). Treat me poorly, and you’re on your own.

I was the dick of the group I think. I do bare minimum and people tend to get pissed but I’m still the highest scorer. The others put too much pressure on themselves to do everything quickly whereas if you pace yourself and prioritise the more important stuff at a more careful pace you do better work. That’s why I’ve stayed the longest and why I consistently get the best results. I take breaks, I chit chat and I listen to music while others are on 3/4 of my workload on over excert themselves where they completely miss the mark on a lot of it so they have to redo it. A few managed to get the right idea with me and there’s only 3 people still working there that did when I started. I just don’t see the rush

I worked at rehab center where patients and staff were caught having sex with clients and if the clients weren’t having sex with staff members then other staff members were having affairs with each others and when other staff members complained about certain people getting better treatment they would make sure they would write you up for something that would force you to quit your job or fire you and say that if you don’t quit they will black ball you from ever being able again to work in another rehab and most staff members suffered from addiction or mental illness or disabilities and they get you to open up to them about your struggles and then they would use your struggles against you by blaming you for everything when they already knew you had disabilities but they didn’t want to accommodate your disabilities so eventually most people left the job because there was a lack of support in a job that is stressful staff members never had your back and often times they would believe the patient who has a long criminal history of getting in trouble . Some of the clients were forced by the court to go to rehabilitation because they had one more chance to change before they were going to jail . So we were court ordered to make sure they went through the entire program the client would refuse to comply and then they became physically or verbally abusive to staff members and then the higher staff members eventually fired some of the best employees who loved there clients based on false accusations made by clients who had no proof Even if the employee wrote down and documented the situation with the patient they would take you into the office and fire you for work infractions like being sick to often or being late to work after they didn’t give you enough notice to start the shift so they expected you to drop everything to pick up a shift and when you tell them you will be a few minutes late due to a prior doctors appointment they would say they understood that and then they would write you up and fire you . They started getting a new insurance policy for staff and as soon as it was time for the company to pay the insurance premiums they would fire people right before they would get full benefits for health insurance and the staff had to pay a big chunk of their check went to the insurance company ran by the rehab center . They would pay for the insurance out of there check would go to insurance when you get fired and you didn’t get your insurance benefits because you were fired or let go so you tried to get them to pay you back for all the money you put towards an insurance policy you never got so you basically paid them for nothing and with you demanding your money back they say they don’t know what happened to your insurance policy so you lost your money and your insurance and your job while the company got federal money from the government when they would double charge the insurance company and they tried to charge the insurance companies for things the patient didn’t even do and then the therapist would forge and sign documents saying this patients
Received this therapy treatment and they make up a whole session that didn’t happen and they tried to force the med tech to change the document and fill out the therapist report but the med tech felt uncomfortable so they refused so the med tech would get written up for not complying to company fraud so they get fired . The day I quit that job I called the federal government and reported them for fraud and violating the disability act against the discrimination against people with disabilities and mental illness. Many of the employees reported them for their illegal activities eventually the government will catch on to there scheme each year they have to report to all transactions to the federal government each year. You can only get away with insurances fraud for so long. I hope Santa recovers center gets what coming to them

By the way that’s a lie about not being legally allowed to sell people their nudes in California. It’s really your comfort level or Store policy. The only law is against indecent things done to/with children and animals. Which obviously not OK.

This lady was banned from site and tried to work for another contractor on the same site to weasel out of it. She was banned for violating injury policy. If you’re injured at work you report it immediately. She would wait a day and then report it. Got warned 3 times and there wasn’t a fourth.

Used to work with this one shitty kid at a Lowes who kept telling everyone how his terrible screamo band was gonna take him out of our small town and how he didn't need the job. But then didn't want to get fired every time because his mome made him get this job. He was worthless. I tried being patient and training him to stock and doing half of it before going to lunch. I came back, none done. Just leaning over the pallet and fucking round on his phone. Kid was straight up retarded I swear.

I got promoted to a management position becuase the former manager got another job, gave his notice and when that job was rescinded, they wouldn't let him have his old job back. It was glorious.

She was just hired a few weeks ago and at first I thought she'd be great. She disappears during her shifts,she questions everything we tell her to do,she ignores customers,she ignores management,she ignores associats,she unplugged a register,during her shift,and started cleaning while we had a line,she accused my best friend,A guy I used to be involved with.,of dv when I came in with a black eye, tripped over my puppy while I was chasing her to take her outside.,and then accused my dad of the same thing,she yells across the store,she's chronically late,One time 15 minutes late and I had to work by myself,she was told to tell the customers that they could use selfcheckout by one of supervisors three times. She ignored her and I finally walked over and told them myself. She cries about being bullied,Accused a male co-worker EVERYONE,loves and then yelled at a manager on Black Friday because that manager asked her to check the registers,and honestly,the managent team is running out of places to put her.

Oh no! I’m a woman who asks…having fun yet? …. quite often! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I love how when it's a black person, they always need to say it was a black person. But when it's a white person, there is no mention of skin color. But racism no longer exists?

In his defense. Equilibrium is a trash movie.

I looked up a pic of Ted Cruz smiling. It’s almost scary

Oh no the ‘having fun yet’ might be me 😬

Men. Useless and a burden to others.

I was sitting here and like nodded off for a few seconds r something and all I hear is "Someone had taken a dump" and I hadn't been paying much attention since I'm tired and was on Chai in the background. Shit just made me start laughing out loud

great video, really enjoyed the stories! just curious though, do you think some of these stories are a bit exaggerated for entertainment? i mean, they’re super entertaining, but it makes me wonder how much is actually true.
