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 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.

I'll be honest, I don't see a bad boss here, just someone struggling to keep things afloat during the pandemic. He/she's not insensitive or rude IMO

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 5 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.
