30 Times Employees Stood Up To Their Rude And Entitled Bosses

This is an excellent plan... and probably worked as well or better than a typical work stoppage. Good thinking!

Winnipeg Transit did this one day in protest of the lack of security and safety. I think it came right after a driver was stabbed to death over a fare dispute.

This is the third time I'm seeing this post.

They did something similar in Morocco. The toll booth workers still showed up, but we didn’t have to pay.

Toll collectors in Europe did that years ago.

Welders earn well. 50k a year during apprenticeship right out of training school and earn about 90 after apprenticeship. After 5 years earn between 120k-200k a year depending on the type of welding, region, and hours you are willing to work (earn between 70-120 an hour depending on region and type of welding). I met a welder works just 30 hours a week, for only 50 weeks a year at 95 an hour for construction site. Met a welder in a ship repair yard, got paid 110 an hour for a standard 40 hour work week with 6 weeks of vacation. Really good blue collar money and a job in shortage

Isn't ppe, including prescription safety glasses, provided by employers the norm? Where I'm from it's the law.

You should tell the world the name of the company.

Mozzle Tizzle! Finally, a story with a good ending!

So... this really is a "positive" story??? 4 more dollars an hour??? Is that really a significant raise??? When I read the story, I thought the OP was being sarcastic... 4 more dollars doesn't sound much... 😕

When will managers realize that THEIR being short staffed is a THEM problem. Not an employee's problem. They apparently did not hire enough people for their business to remain fully staffed if a couple of people can not work. Their unpreparedness and crappy hiring practices are NOT the workers fault. I am so glad to see all this pushback against these toxic work expectations!

39.75 for "exp." Dayumn. I personally call it "extra time" and ask if people know what "overtime" means and when they say yes. I say "extra time is 2x my base wage for last minute coverage or else no dice.." Turns out they really can't afford me sometimes. Sux for "them."

Love it! If they really *need* you, they can put money where mouth is

I hope that amount is per HOUR?

The "?" killed me.

Woah, that threat there is nasty. I can't believe the things some people are comfortable saying to others. "Choose your words carefully, I can hurt your financial situation"... Jeez man... That's just nasty.

I spent my entire career convincing my bosses that those of us who chose not to have children do not exist just to make life easier for those with kids. I think it should be illegal for your employer to ask if you have children, because it is so often used to penalize the child free. Asking you WHY you can't work your day off should be illegal too. I once had a supervisor who refused to give us our paychecks when they were issued... she'd make us wait and have people begging for their checks. One day, I asked for my check and she said no. I asked her on what grounds she was withholding them, and she said " I don't think you need it right now". I went to HR the next morning (I worked night shift) and asked for my check. They told me my supervisor had it and I said, exactly ... she's unwilling to give it to me so I'd like a duplicate check issued. It's my money, I earned every penny of it, and I would like it now. I will accept cash. That supervisor was fired.

And if this boss does fire go on unemployment and then sue his ass

Turn off "read receipts". I always do that.

Unwise to disclose financial status with your boss when he is already underpaying you 😄

If the customer wanted to tip everyone he would have specified that. She earned the tip, she keeps it

You either pool tips or you don’t. Her firing sounds illegal.

A tip is for the one server (big partys sometimes have more), that tip for for her and her alone. Screw everyone that thinks they earned it just because it was a big tip. The nerve of people today blows my mind. Work for your own money.

The boss probably wanted a cut of the gofundme, too.

Wait a minute. Im not sure I understand. It says that she was fired for "NOT" sharing the tip. and also that they never pooled their tips. If it never happens, then why'd she get fired?

This was delicious. "Hey there guy, buddy... Buddyyyy... No need for that talk *nervous chuckle*" hahahaha nice

Boss could have said, noticed you were sitting yesterday is everything ok?

""F**k you and your company. I quit," works perfectly in this case.

Mid level Managers (with the ability to fire) have had way too much power in the last few years. They pretend to be your buddy until you say no to something, then you're enemy #1. I wonder how many higher ups are aware of how much personnel they've lost. The MLM tells them they were a terrible worker and it won't affect the numbers. Meanwhile, they lost a good worker who got tired of being dinged for all the small things that happened, but never recognized for a superior performance.

I'd add "... or don't" in another text.

oooof

😄

Boss"...other than that...uh...you look great!"

Gee, I wonder why they're short staffed.

Sophie quits, and the boss tries REALLY hard to get his next best employee to quit too. You have to wonder about the intelligence level of some of these people.

Yep, makes real sense to threaten someone when you're trying to get them to help you. A$$h0le!
