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.

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.

My need to downgrade my car, and my problematic financial situation arose from the need to frequwntly replace the windows of my car. While I am in no position to tell you how to do your job, one possible solution to this issue might be to pay your employees adequat, so sthey do not have to break into the cars of their coworkers and steal their belongings.

Which part of "Personal Matter" confused them so much they decided to write this whole letter?
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.

Load More Replies...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.

30 years ago, I was working in a tanning salon. My supervisor called me at 1:30 am at Sunday night and told me ... obviously drunk ... I had to do her next shift (10 am to 5 pm), because she felt "sick". I told her to take an aspirin and drink plenty of water before bed ... then her hangover might not be that bad. Then I muted my phone and slept until noon ... she had called 23 times ( ! ) and then left a really rude message, basically saying, she was going get me fired. I let my boss hear what kind message she left me, while she was really drunk. I was not fired ... and she received a written warning.
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.

What about that? (Actually had an employer make that switch to an online time clock, but the work computers took two f*****g forevers to start up so we could sign in.

Then comes a secret ballot vote and in the end we see which side one. This is just electioneering with one side giving their argument.
