30 Times People Exposed Their Bosses From Hell By Sharing Screenshots On This Community
We live in the times of the cruel job market where you basically have to shower in a sea of cold “Good luck in your future endeavors!” application rejections to even get to the point of an interview with absolutely no promise of getting a position.
Getting rejected is something all job seekers grow accustomed to, even though it melts your confidence with each letter, leaving you with a sense of last hope until you finally get your job and everything suddenly seems like a bad dream, a nightmare, to be honest.
So it’s only fair that many workers do everything they can to maintain their job even if that means they have to put up with the boss from hell. The subreddit “Antiwork” is a shelter for those who think of ending work, including those who have had enough of their employers and had to expose their deeds online.
Below is a list of the worst screenshots submitted by employees who basically deserve a medal for their patience. Scroll down and be sure to share your own experiences working with a bad boss in the comments, if you have one. And if you don’t, then we are happy for you!

I Made The Mistake Of Calling In Sick For My Shift 8 Hours Before It Started. No Regrets
While you don’t have to be best friends with your boss, it’s only fair you two get along as much as possible, making it a healthy workplace environment to be in from 9 to 5 on a daily basis. But, sadly this is not always the case. A recent survey from jobsite Monster.com polled almost 1000 people openly seeking new jobs and found out some shocking revelations.
In fact, when asked why they wanted to leave their current employer, a whopping 76 percent of jobseekers named a "toxic" boss as the reason. Of course, we can debate for ages what the term “toxic” is exactly referring to as it may range from being a jerk to someone who is too demanding, micromanages everything, barks out orders, constantly criticizes his workers or exhibits inappropriate behavior.

One thing is clear—a toxic boss is someone who poisons the workplace with toxicity instead of using their power to motivate, inspire and understand their employees. Meanwhile, 26 percent of the employees in the Monster survey said their boss was "power-hungry" or only looking out for themselves. 18 percent called their boss a “micromanager” and 17 percent said their boss is “incompetent.” The other 15 percent said their boss is never around and doesn’t seem to care.

Boss Called Me In The Middle Of Fixing The Day Shifts Mistakes On Top Of Doing My Own Job To Chew Me Out For Refusing A Customer. Needless To Say, She Won’t Have To Worry About Getting Anymore Complaints About Me
Another poll that surveyed 2,000 American office workers showed that they would rather have more feedback from their managers than more money. In fact, 53 percent of those surveyed said that more feedback on their role is the number one thing they want to see more of from their boss. Surprisingly, it turned out to be even more important than extra compensation (48%) and more honest communication (48%).

Baam, nailed it, good answer - still on a very grown-up and professional way. I'm just wondering how the story ended.
Moreover, 78 percent of the respondents who have been employed, seven in ten, have admired one of their managers as a role model. The results suggest that great managers, CEO and bosses are often overlooked in company’s success and play a vital role in keeping employees on top of their game.
Incredibly, an admirable boss can have so much positive and long-term influence on their employees that it may have a direct effect on their behavior. The survey found that 71 percent of the respondents said their role models directly impact their behavior and choices on a daily basis.

I don't really get this thing about "giving" people time off. Like, do you not have a certain number of vacations days a year? I never "ask" for time off, I tell them when I want to have time off and unless there is a major scheduling conflict with my coworkers I will get that time off.

After Outing Him As A Theft, Liar And A Abuser Of His Power He Is Still The Manger Of That Store Till This Very Day
Paul Davis 4 years ago
Assuming this In the U.S., because aren't most of these abusive employers U.S. employers? Anyway, U.S. Employers are legally required to pay for hours worked, period. They're not allowed to deduct hours for any reason. They can fire an employee if the employee is breaking rules and took hours they weren't supposed to, or didn't work the hours required, etc. But they still must pay for hours worked, and don't ever get to simply delete hours.

If this is for anything but a McJob and anywhere other than the US, yeah this response will NOT fly with any other job. At least any other job that would give you a reference. Also, "I just don't like you guys no more" is not calling out a bad boss - the boss's response here is perfectly respectful and reasonable, there is no evidence of anything other presented here.

I've worked for American companies for the last 25 years in Europe. Good experience. That being said, I was offered a chance to relocate to the US a couple of times, not in a million years, I would lose too many rights and benefits. The US really needs to up its game on basic employment laws.

Ii really isn't dystopic everywhere. Although I have worked for some nightmare places like these, I now work for a great company that has no problem with me talking vacations or sick leave or mental health days. But we could definitely do better all around. No one should have to put up with the nonsense on this post.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I do my best to set boundaries and NOT communicate with coworkers/bosses about work outside of work hours. All this last minute scheduling is nuts. I've quit jobs before because people kept texting/emailing me about work and expecting responses when I'm not getting paid for that time. I have zero interest in that.

Parents need to teach their kids that doing stuff outside of work hours is not acceptable. If no worker ever accepted it, the businesses would simply not be able to get away with it. I truly blame the parents for not teaching their kids, who then just sucked it up for the most part until it became the norm.
