28 Times Bosses Had Requests So Ridiculous, People Just Had To Shame Them Online
According to Gallup's State of the American Manager report, half of all employees in the US have quit jobs at some point in their careers in order to get away from their bosses. (The figures are similar or even higher for workers in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.)
And the subreddit r/ChoosingBeggars has plenty of examples that illustrate this figure.
While some may find them amusing, the reality is that having a bad superior can be mentally and emotionally exhausting; it's essential for employers to recognize the importance of treating their staff with respect and fairness to maintain a healthy and productive work environment.

I think the boss does not know how the tests work and thinks a positive is a good sign and means you don't have covid

Semi Famous Rapper Hiring A Personal Assistant
Lakota Wolf 3 years ago
Let's say that this ONLY requires 8 hours a day... a typical 40-hour work-week. You'd be making $13.75/hr for the privilege of being a parent to an adult baby who can't even be arsed to pack their own suitcase or organize their personal items.

Wanted: Receptionist/Office Manager/Social Media Manager With A College Degree, Availability On Weekends And Holidays, And Willingness To Work With Abusive People And Vicious, Diseased And/Or Dead Animals. Pay: $8.50 An Hour
Megalodon Meg 3 years ago
I made $14 an hour being a veterinary receptionist who also was expected to clean, sanitize after parvo exposure, veterinary assistant work including restraining, assisting in euthanasia, assisting in cremations, moving deceased animals, helping to bring in severely injured/dying animals, dealing with either irate or emotionally distressed owners on my own, getting bit-twice in the face, getting verbally berated by the practice owner, having my manager essentially tell me I'm just a body and don't matter, and having a complete lie made up about me by said manager that resulted in my immediate termination even though I'd never had a single infraction on my record. All of which without training or even appreciation. People get into veterinary medicine because they care but places like this steal that compassion and drive right out of you.

This reminds me of an old joke. A factory hires a man named Schmidt to pull a lever all day. He does that Then they ask him to pull a second lever with his other hand so he starts doing that. Then they decide he can hit these two foot pedals with his feet because he has two of those. The boss looks in and asks him how he's doing. He says, "Great, but if you want the place cleaned up a bit I have an idea where you can stick a broom".

I once had to go to work (quick serve manager) feeling absolutely terrible because no manager would cover and the big boss didn't care. I left immediately after my shift and told my boss I was going to urgent care. I barely remember getting there and I ended up on an IV. I send my boss a picture of my arm taped up with the IV. They ask if I will be in tomorrow... not the first time they pushed me to work sick.
