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.

Landlord Cites Old Testament In Increasing Rent

Jerks can use the Bible to justify anything. It was used to justify slavery and denying painkillers to women in labor.
@Lazy Panda, it does not make it seem like religious people are bad, but there are a lot like this

Speaking as a Christian, this makes me SO MAD. Abuse of the Bible horrible. For your own gain? Yeah, that fills me with rage. This scripture refers to the one tribe in Israel (the Levites) assigned to be the priests and leaders of worship. The tithe was to go to them for this service they provided. Her response is spot on, and MORE than appropriate. She has way more tact than I could have mustered in her shoes.
In my experience, his use of the bible sounds about right. Reason #5462 I left Christianity.
Numbers 18:21 doesn’t even make any f*****g sense in this context
The landlord was joking, see the original twitterthread: https://twitter.com/racheldenav/status/1164602534335569920
Zec 7:10 - Do not defraud the widow or the fatherless child, the foreigner or the poor; and do not scheme evil against one another in your hearts.’
In Oregon, rent cannot be raised more than 3% - and that only every two years.
21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Not even sure how that would be relevant to a rent hike ...
I wish I knew the Bible so I could throw their words back at them like this.

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.

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.

Dear Panda, you know those posts where you make fun of people for not understanding sarcasm or humor? Maybe you should include yourself. Or at least go back and re-read them.
