50 Examples Of Bad Bosses Who Probably Complain That “No One Wants To Work Anymore” (New Pics)

Filed a wage theft report against my former employer, was told he only paid 80% of what was owned, but I sucked it up. When I picked up the check at the Department of Labor, it had "THIEF" boldly written on the subject line. Super awkward, unfair, and embarrassing, especially with others witnessing it. Is there anything that can be done?

UPDATE: So I approached him about it and he tried to convince me that they were already broken before he sat there, which I know is a lie. After talking for more than 20 minutes he then finally admitted to it, saying it was an accident and apologized. When I said he’d need to buy me a replacement pair he said “we can talk more about it tomorrow.” 🙄 Wish me luck I guess...

We threw away 55 cookies. The managers didn't let us take any home because they thought it might "encourage us to purposely make extra."

I can't even tell you how much this enrages me. First it was only for the weekends, now it's just randomly. How effed up is that? Firstly, you don't save any energy by turning the fridge on and off, secondly, it's a really s***ty thing to do, thirdly, this way bacteria and mold can grow in there happily. But this woman is so stupid, any of these arguments will just bounce right off her head... tell me about your s***ty bosses, please.

My class A rig is down for service so I was thrown into the class B backup truck.

So, here's the deal. I found a roach a few times inside my work laptop when I got home..it couldn't come from my house and a few other colleagues complained of the same issue. I decided to prove him wrong, bought a cheap 50c chinese sticky roach trap and left my laptop at work with this trap directly next to my laptop....this is the results after a weekend in the office. Not just roaches but the roach egg sack thingy hatched and those are the babies...

And should I send this response, if any? I have rewritten it so many times; this is what I was able to cut it down to.

I do my job well enough that I now have to be scrutinized for tiny things in order for my supervisors to look like they have an important role of “managing” people. I almost got fired last year because I racked up a total of 6 minutes of tardies over the course of 2 months because I came back from lunch 1-3 mins late a few times.
I hope I don’t get a write up and sent to the principal’s office!

For context:
This company sought me out to interview at their company for a management position. I ended up getting the job. Lasted 30 days until they terminated the position due to a “cart before the horse” situation. Basically what happened is I called out all the illegal marketing practices happening and offered solutions to fix them. They got rid of the problem, which was “me.” Now they want my password.

I feel like this is terrible management. I have never worked at a job where the priority is my time off and not my health????? Am I Overreacting?

This was what I received from my boss after asking for help regarding having to put my dog to sleep and not being able to make my 5 AM shift because of it. I worked at Starbucks for over 2.5 years and called out/was out sick a total of three or four times.

I (25F) used to work briefly (remote) at a non-profit running out of NJ.
My ex-boss, who’s married and has a kid, reached out to me about a month ago (after 5+ months of me quitting) with the offer you see in his messages.
I read this, sent his wife the texts, and reported him to the labor department. Just got scheduled for an interview with the department to discuss next steps—AIO about all of this?
Additional context: He’s the founder, manages the HR himself, and was also my direct report. And no, I haven’t found a job yet after this!

For context, I was told three months ago that in two months I would be moved to a different area in the company to begin working at a much higher pay rate. New employees started being hired at almost 40% more than what I make. After I found out I requested a raise and I’ve been waiting ever since. I have worked here for two years and have never had any performance issues. I told her recently that I am looking for other jobs and I’m not going to wait much longer and she promised me a raise in two weeks. Those couple weeks have passed and this is what I get. I hate my workplace.

I work for a very well-known corporation as a server/bartender. My shift usually starts at 4:00 pm.
The time clock rounds my hours to 15-minute intervals. If I clock in at 4:01, I don't start getting paid until 4:15. If I clock in at 3:50 and start working immediately as expected, I don't get paid for those first 10 minutes. I know if I clock out at 10:40 it doesn't round to 10:45. It gets rounded down to 10:30. My general manager confirmed that over text. This means I lose up to 28 minutes in my wages every shift.
I know this is wage theft. They did not notify me that they changed the time clocks. When I was first employed, I was paid from when I clocked in to when I clocked out. I wasn’t aware that it was rounding down my hours for a few months. I believe that I'm owed a couple of hundreds of dollars in unpaid wages. I'm planning to send these screen shots to the labour board but I'm not very hopeful anything will happen.
TLDR: my employer is rounding down my hours so he can pay me less.

Job was two weeks late in starting, but he could have just told the clients he’d forgot how swamped our shop was and apologized. Or told a white lie that one or another of the machines at the shop had broken down and it took two weeks to get someone in to fix it. But no. And this is hardly the worst thing he’s done. I don’t work for this a**hat any more.

UPDATE: I just received an email from my boss but it’s worded weirdly: “Dear, I’m so sorry you didn’t receive the text message that was sent out to the team” She then goes on to say my shift time today has changed and asks if I can come in earlier, and that we’ll discuss what happened during the shift. Sounds like she’s blaming me? Sorry YOU didn’t receive the text. Excuse me? You didn’t add me to the list of recipients. How is it my fault.

Trying to tell myself her urgency isn’t my emergency. These notes aren’t even that important, and are actually ones SHE HERSELF is supposed to write.

We have 7 routes and 11 drivers. These guys thought it was a good idea to let 3 drivers take a vacation spanning over 3 months. All 3 will be gone at the same time over the next month. So what's their plan? Try to make other drivers work for almost a month straight to pick up the slack. Needless to say, it hasn't gone over well. Now the boss and production manager get to drive a couple nights a week as well as work the day shift.

This email might lot look like much but every other week there’s something, and no emotional support or kindness offered at all.

This is after I've been sending daily emails to finance and management since last Friday.

I sent him this picture of my knee. It’s like 3x the size that it normally is idk what he was on I worked at a restaurant too, I know that “the 18 year old” was just a blatant lie.

A few days ago, my supervisor informed me that I would have to take on the responsibilities of two people, and I refused. I also expressed how I felt about it. I was the only one in the company who spoke up and said what I thought. As a manager, I even encouraged my team to stand up for themselves if they felt like they were being mistreated in any way, I guess they realized I wasn't someone who would just stay quiet, do my job, and accept any nonsense they threw at me. So, they fired me without warning via text.

Originally this box was organized by hue and shade and now has been reorganized by the “correct” part numbers. Imagine my frustration when needing to find the right color marker.

The phone number is listed at the top that comes from the business number that only my boss had🤦🏻‍♀️. I put my resignation in and my boss couldn’t handle it and fired me after cussing me out on the phone. AIO for wanting to expose her for who she is by reaching out to this nurse and others that she’s wrongfully terminated and take this further?

Because micromanaging. Having the lights dim encourages people to be lazy, apparently.

Boss (well-known influencer) travels a lot and I had to accompany her on a trip. The flight is 14+ hours and she booked my return trip on a weekday.
She wants me to either work in the flight or come in on the weekend to “make up” for the missed day. This is after I worked 20 straight days with no days off on this trip.
And no, I’m not a personal assistant.

Mid-June here in NJ, and we're experiencing a heatwave. Temperatures in the mid-90°F all week. The building has an old AC that has broken multiple times in the past 3 years, and instead of just fixing it entirely our boss has opted to hire patchwork services to only temporarily fix the problem. Well now the AC has been broken since last August. The company has been slow the last few months, really not making much money, and our boss is basically insinuating that he won't fix the AC until we, the workers, start to make more sales.

This manager has always been very toxic, decided to give my immediate resignation today and this was her response lol.

For context: The lady sent me a job offer at 8pm (ish) on a Thursday. Me not expecting people to be actively looking for roles at that time, sent her a quick reply hoping we could have a call instead. I was very excited to have recived the job offer so I just wizzed through the lengthy starting email (my mistake).
The job offer asked for £500+£150(?) for training and I asked if that money can be taken out from my wages when I start working instead as I only get paid £500 a biweekly from benefits.
The lady got really rude to me after I told her I cannot pay that much as I don't have that money anywhere. That's the comment she made about people on benefits.
I hate being on benefits and am trying my hardest to get permanently off it. Who asks for £650 training that the job should provide?

I found out we had canceled the yearly Christmas party / bonus. A multi store owner within a large corporate chain food company allowed our management to instead do this for the staff of say 60 employees per store. Upon completing this project along with a few other miscellaneous gifts (donuts, Doritos, and [get this] oranges,) he told us this gesture was “breaking the bank.” Love it here.
