It’s no secret that getting along with management people is not always a given, but rather a gift. They often put too much pressure on the backs of already stressed employees, making it a perfectly toxic workplace environment to brew and prosper. And in some more extreme cases, it gets passive-aggressive, to say the least.
The corner of Reddit known by the name which screams sarcasm, Thanks Management, is a safe space to talk about hard things. According to the subreddit’s description, it’s a place made for “Showcasing notices from imperious middle managers, owners, landlords, school administrators, mean bosses, and overall pedants. Bonus points for misspellings, exclamation marks, threats over petty bullshit.”
And they mean it. From evil posters put up in the staff room as if nothing happened to the implementation of very questionable tools that are supposed to boost productivity at the expense of people, these are some take-notes-kids examples of how not to run your business.

Nobody is safe from mean management practices in the workplace, regardless of how much you love or hate your job. But let’s be honest, the more pressure we have put on our shoulders, the less motivated we are to add that extra bit of effort to the company we work for.
And although this can happen for many different reasons, mean managers can be a huge setback for us professionally and emotionally. But how you determine whether the management has indeed crossed the line? Buzzwords like toxic workplace are all over the place, but when it comes to real life, most of us are left scratching our heads.
Rude behavior toward employees is generally defined as a display of disrespect, a breaking of social norms or expectations, a breach of etiquette, or ignoring "accepted" behavior. It can also mean that a manager is behaving inconsiderately, aggressively, or deliberately offensively.

Rudeness can manifest in many forms, from passive-aggressive behavior, micromanaging, anger management problems, to favoritism towards one person, bullying, and many more. The mean behavior can also be used as a way to display one’s power and show superiority over others, and in this case, as well as others, you'd better run far away from it.
In such cases, setting boundaries is key. Everyone should learn to distance themselves from a manager who’s mean to them and, at some point, stop taking in all the negativity. In other cases, if you are sure that your boss is incompetent, it’s just reasonable to become a leader on your own.
Management will notice your initiative eventually, and you will likely earn some extra points just by keeping the mean person out of the loop.

Whatever happens, make yourself a top priority. It’s just not fair to allow yourself to be treated badly and purposefully disrespected day by day by someone who has no reason to do so. In some extreme cases, even the best reasoning is not an excuse for anyone to shout or offend you, whether it’s a co-worker, a manager, or a boss.

They left out: "an employee must give 2 weeks notice if they are going to die, and must train their replacement."
This is a joke sign. It's not real, because if it was, it would be illegal anywhere.
I think this is just sarcasm. I would hang this in my office, cuz I'm just that way.
Apparently it's a joke, but I've seen enough entitled bosses to not be sure. Poe's Law and all that.
Wow, they get more vacation days than I did at my last job. The forgot to include what my job did "If the vacation day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it still only counts for that day and will not be honored during the work week."
Don't ever work for these people !! In fact, tell them to f**k off at the interview stage ...
So you go to the doctor with expected Ebola after returning from abroad.....and they make you go in!
I sincerely hope that companies like them end up permanently out of business.
I would pee on that sign and leave immediately, not that this would ever happen here, just wtf?
This is a gag sign, look at the bottom: "Poorly Made In The USA"

3 excellent policies to give a reason to look for another job or not go to work there in the first place.
Where is this? Tell me so that I can raise a public stink about them.
Never work here..by all means, gather all the workers & quit this company for good. Teach the boss a lesson
I don't know where this is from, but in Canada this would be completely illegal.
The first point is the reason why Coronavirus can spread so well in the USA. Sick people apparently can walk mostly, but they can also make everyone sick they pass by

I'm so darn happy I don't live in the USA. I'm very sorry to say this, dear Americans, but your country sucks big time.
There are some posts of terrible managers etc. in this thread, but honestly most of them don't belong here.
Well, y'know, Reagan started this awesome PR machine of "It's morning in America!" and forgot to mention it was gonna be the morning after the night before at a bar in Hell.
