30 Times Bosses Wrote Such Delusional Notes, These Employees Just Had To Shame Them Online
Any boss can make their employees’ lives heaven or hell, depending on what they’re like as a person and how they manage their people. Unfortunately, the world’s full of truly awful bosses. They think that the word ‘leadership’ doesn’t apply to them. Instead of inspiring and motivating their workers, they patronize, insult, and micromanage them. And any and all respect goes flying out the window.
One way that managers reveal their true feelings, and their deep disdain for their employees is through the notes and signs that they put up, whether inside or outside. Bored Panda has traveled all over the net to bring you the most egregious, the most loathsome examples of these condescending, demeaning notes left.
It’s to show you just how low some bosses can go. In their eyes, everyone’s lazy but them. Everyone’s wrong but them. And then they act surprised when people leave the company because of them. Imagine the surprise on their face when they learn that their actions have [cue dramatic gasp and thunder] consequences.
As you’re scrolling down, have a think about your current and previous workplaces, Pandas. Have you ever come across insulting signs that management put up? What’s the most toxic thing your superiors have ever done? You can unload all of your frustration in the comment section. Go on, you know you need it.

Came Into Work This Morning To Find This Taped To The Wall. Boss Went On Tirade Against Me And Co-Worker Yesterday For Talking To Each Other With No Customers In The Store
What is really ridiculous about this tactic is that time and time again, studies have shown that happy and engaged employees are more productive and more likely to stay in a position. Even for entry level positions, the training time involved adds up to a not insignificant cost... give me cheerful and happy every time, especially in a retail environment. Nasty boss is shooting themself in the foot in the long game.

Just Saw This In A Mcdonald’s
That’s a sign everyone should be talking about their pay. Ironically, it’s likely *more* people started talking pay after this, than might’ve otherwise. I’m sure Barbara Streisand would be proud 😂

That’s…illegal 😂. Gotta love when an employer *advertises* their discrimination…

The Audacity To Have This Up In A Workplace
The math is so wrong! Two sick days are taking away 2 of this "so called day", instead of taking away 16 work hours. This is ridiculously stupid. (And, terrible)

In Case You Would Like To Know What It’s Like Working At Starbucks

At Work - Where Water Isn’t Free Yo
This looks ridiculous, but without more info it's hard to tell... is it purchased by a group of employees for their own use, or is this the employer charging employees? If it's the latter, that's pretty cheesy... it should be part of the cost of doing business.

Nothing wrong with this. You shouldn't be disrupting your co-workers when you're not on shift.

My Work Wants To Make Overtime Mandatory. Is That Legal? This Is In Ontario.
My workplace forced everyone to work a mandatory 56 hour work week. The money was nice, but then everyone began having health problems, and finally, after years of begging from employees, they hired people to just work on weekends and give the rest of us a break.

These Were Put Up In The Women's Employee Restroom In A Print Shop. Thoughts?
I had to wipe partially dried blood off a toilet seat at a library this past week before I used the toilet. If people would clean up after themselves, nobody would feel the need to write these wordy cutesy notes. If a note is necessary, how about, "Clean up after yourself, please."
Very American posts, sadly. As a European (Swede), these signs are very hard to understand.
I’m not sure if this is limited to the US but as a fellow swede, I couldn’t agree more to the last part. This kind of horrific shìt hasn’t been allowed for the last two hundred years. I feel horrible for people who has to live this utter crāp. We lucked out when it comes to this, big, big time.
Load More Replies...I urge you all to take an hour or so and look up federal/country and state/local wage, labor, and employment laws. You may be entitled to more than you are being given, and your employers may be violating labor laws. And check to see if there is legislation protecting whistleblowers so you can report violations without being retaliated against.
Yes!...EVERYONE! DO! THIS! A-hole employers will get away with anything if you let them,illegal or not. And document everything. If it isn't in writing, it never happened. Break and downtime laws are usually made at the state level, so check those too.
Load More Replies...So many people ask why there is so much worker shortage, so many leave their jobs, etc. It is simple! Just look at these toxic work environments, that sh:tty paid jobs,. Unhappy people got rid off these. Go find a better place to work if possible. Nobody deserves a bad job, nobody ows anything to a company beside doing the job being hired and paid. Worker rights are a good way to have better work environments.
