Everyone has their workplace horror story. It could be about the terror boss that’s the source of your Monday anxieties or policies that make your professional life a living hell. Today, you’ll see a series of photos involving a little bit of both and everything in between. 

It’s a collection of snapshots from employees showing the workplace absurdities they deal with regularly, if not daily. For better or worse, these individuals have shined a light on how certain companies operate and how people become when placed in leadership positions. 

Some restrict an employee’s toilet access. Others implement 100-hour work weeks and even engage in illegal surveillance activities (yes, you read that right). And these dumbfounding photos are only a handful of many others.

    Walmart Wants Me To Pay Them For My Comfort

    I live in the south where it's going to be 90°-100°F for the next two weeks and I work in a non air-conditioned warehouse. They want me to pay a billion-dollar company to be able to wear shorts. Only on weekends too because, it can't get hot Monday through Thursday. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Even though not all of the actions we see in the pictures might qualify as such, labor law violations are more common than you think. Dallas-based law firm Brown & Fortunato enumerated the five violations that employers usually commit: not paying the required overtime, paying below the minimum wage, failing to ensure a safe workspace, failing to cover an employee’s work-related injuries, and misclassification of a worker.

    Common violations also vary from state to state in the US. In New Hampshire, the list includes illegal employment of workers under 18, failure to record hours worked, and failure to secure and maintain workers’ compensation.

    These unscrupulous businesses are dragging their customers into their mess. As a disabled senior, I have to shop online. But my choices inevitably end up with businesses like Walmart, Amazon, and others who see their employees as numbers on a spreadsheet. This hurts me because I've always been pro-union. And shopping "locally" isn't always the answer because that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

    Remember the ‘Great Resignation’ of 2021? A study by MIT reported that 40% of American employees were already thinking about leaving their jobs in January of that year. Between April and September, more than 24 million employees left their jobs, an all-time high.

    And what was the top predictor of employee attrition during that time? Toxic corporate culture, at 10.4%. Scroll through each one and see if you’ve experienced anything similar. For the most part, you likely have in some form.

    Not getting paid a fair minimum wage isn’t even the worst part. Survey data published in a 2017 report by the Economic Policy Institute revealed that 2.4 billion employees in the United States lose $8 billion worth of salaries each year because of wage theft by their own employers. 

    Salary issues cause resentment toward the employer, which destroys trust, productivity, and, ultimately, the overall working relationship between the employee and the company. It should go without saying, but it seems many people need a little reminding.

    30 hours of overtime? Each week? This is where malicious compliance comes in. (I'm also pretty sure this is illegal in many countries. Depending on what you signed when you started, a lot of employment is 'at Will' which means you can quit and get fired at will/whenever. Don't need to put in any notice, two weeks is just to be courteous)

    So the person, "planning", to leave in 3 months gets their salary reduced by $6.00, an hour but now the other employees get up to 30 hours a week in OT? Heck, even at say, $10.00, per hour, normal OT pay is time and a half so those people just in OT will be grossing about, $450? And that is above and beyond say a normal 40 hour work week at as I said above, $10.00, hourly, so $400.00, plus the additional $450.00, so $850.00 a week, yeah a lot of hours but decent weekly money anyway.

    This is BS. For one thing, no company wants to pay two people to do the same thing which is why even if you do give early notice, most times, the company doesn't bring in anyone until you are gone. Secondly, this boss sure is entitled, isn't he? He is going to have trouble getting anyone to take a job there because of these AH requirements which are probably unenforceable.

    Interestingly 3 months notice is the norm in Germany. But this is true both ways. Your employer needs to give you 3 months notice too. This is normal here. (We are payed monthly). It can take some time to find a new job/ a new employee. It‘s 3 months here, so both parties have enough time to find something new.

    Oh, boohoo. You have to work over the weekend because you didn't see fit to treat your employees with respect. Oh, and as to the 3-month notice and involuntary cut in pay... I do believe that's illegal, so I do hope at least one employee sues your a*s. In the US, there is no state or federal law requiring an employee to give two weeks notice.

    It would be reasonable to surmise that big-name companies comply with labor laws to avoid bad press that may tarnish their reputation. However, the harsh reality says otherwise. 

    A 2023 report by Bloomberg Law revealed mounting accusations of violating numerous labor laws against coffee giant Starbucks. The company lost 16 out of 17 cases, eight involving alleged discrimination toward unionizing workers. 

    According to the analysis of judge rulings, the company supposedly told employees who contemplated unionization that their employment conditions would be “up for grabs” or “start from zero.” Another Bloomberg report claimed that Starbucks “illegally” fired 17 union activists.

    On Starbucks’ Standards of Business Conduct website, the company affirmed its commitment to labor laws, stating, “All partners are entitled to work in an environment that is free of harassment, bullying, and discrimination.” However, these accusations seem to show the opposite.

    Feeling The Appreciation My Employer Is Showing To Our Dwindling Overworked Nursing Staff

    Feeling The Appreciation My Employer Is Showing To Our Dwindling Overworked Nursing Staff

    Personal-Pound-2260 Report

    While many of these examples show blatant workplace hostility and unjust treatment, the flip side is the “culture of niceness.” In this scenario, people put up a facade of feigned friendship. As a result, no one feels psychologically safe discussing their strengths and weaknesses.

    As NYU psychology professor Tessa West explains, “There’s this false dichotomy of if you’re critical, that means you are toxic. Positive feedback? That’s what people want. But nice isn’t always better. Sometimes nice is a cop-out.” 

    In this case, where destructive office culture isn’t outright, here are three of many telltale signs for the employee: constant feelings of being undervalued, the mere thought of work is exhausting, and the Sunday Scaries have become a norm. If so, you’re in a toxic work environment and should likely consider looking at outside opportunities.

    But is resignation always the immediate answer? Other experts would tell you differently and suggest switching departments and working with a different team. Corporate psychologist Patricia Thompson spoke to Fast Company in 2018, stating, “Even in organizations where you’d say the culture is terrible, there are pockets where things are fine.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This is where the lines between passion and logic blur; sometimes, the former will carry more weight. That passion may have also propelled you to enough success and brought you to a position of influence despite how stressful and toxic work can be. 

    If you’re in such a predicament, Thompson advises asking yourself one important question: Is there room for advancement within the company that might allow you to influence the culture (or perhaps take you out of the environment you are in right now)? Answering this should provide clarity.

    Forced To Work A 9-Hour Shift In A Smoke-Filled Production Hall With High CO2 Levels

    Forced To Work A 9-Hour Shift In A Smoke-Filled Production Hall With High CO2 Levels

    I'm employed at a large meat manufacturing / packing plant, and due to improper ventilation / exhaust of industrial ovens, production areas filled with smoke, along with elevated CO2 levels. Every shift has safety managers, but they signed off on allowing production to continue across two shifts. Smoke made everyone's eyes constantly water, was almost impossible to breathe after a full shift, and those that did go home sick were still penalized with attendance points. No care for employees or their safety and well-being, managment only worried about numbers and making company owners more money. HR response is if safety says it's fine, then it's fine. Would have quit on the spot if I didn't have a family and mortgage to provide for.

    If you're an employee struggling financially, imagine seeing a message first thing on Monday morning saying you're not getting paid indefinitely. You're behind on rent, your credit card bills are mounting, and now, you don't know when the next paycheck will arrive. 

    Unfortunately, wage violations are also common in the US. In 2022, Statista's research department reported 7,948 infractions involving employers failing to pay fair minimum wage. However, while many of these cases end up stagnant, others are huge wins for the employee. 

    In 2021, the court ordered Texas-based software vendor Tyler Technologies to pay its employees more than $3 million as a settlement after facing a class-action lawsuit for improper salaries. In the suit, employees alleged that the company required extra working hours without overtime pay. All's well that ends well.

    Landed A Great Job! But This Is The Chair And Cubicle I Was Assigned

    Landed A Great Job! But This Is The Chair And Cubicle I Was Assigned

    This was my first day hired. I think they're just really busy, have been away from the office for a while, and didn't realize it's absolutely disgusting.

    I actually was given this chair and cubicle but I wandered around to orient myself, found two other chairs that were in a cubicle that appeared to be vacant, and snatched them. I also found some chlorox wipes, and cleaned the cubicle a ton (metal on walls, desktops, phone, etc.).

    Getting more frustrated with the situation, I took a picture after cleaning and went back to the nasty chair for a picture. I still do not know what this stuff on the chair is and I'm still horrified.

    Instead of subjecting yourself to an unpleasant working experience, it would be helpful to see some warning signs before signing a contract. Recruiter/podcast host/LinkedIn influencer Joel Lalgee mentioned five red flags to look out for: poor communication, ghosting, endless rounds of interviews, repetitive questions, and untrained interviewers. 

    Carta’s head of inclusion, equity, and impact, Mita Mallick, recently wrote a piece for Harvard Business Review, discussing this particular matter. She urges candidates to ask follow-up questions to clarify any concerns.

    Here’s an example: if a recruiter says the company has a small team but offers an opportunity to “make an impact,” it could be a sign that they are understaffed and the employees may be overworked. Mallick then encourages asking about how the company budget has changed and whether or not it increased its workforce.

    I swear, there are times when not getting anything at all is actually better than getting something and finding out just how much someone doesn't care about you.

    I work for a church, and even I get nicer tools/equipment despite our rigid operations budget. This is pathetic on the company's part.

    Seems the company doesn't understand that in order for any motivator to work it must be something the person wants and be something they feel they can get. The motivator must also be in some way commensurate with the work required.

    Got 0.15 cent after 6 years. The typical raise is $0.25 after 9 months to a year. Every year. I only got 15 cents because my assistant department manager said it wasn't 0.25 due to how i dress. She was in designer clothes every day and i was always in a freshly washed uniform that every worker no matter the rank was required to wear. Fun huh?

    Those procedures are something we go through excessively, and we have to complete annual safety lessons. Some people like to ignore these procedures and lessons.

    I used to work for this company and they used to be good. They have since had management changes and have gone way downhill. Glad I left before then. Get this...They recently changed their name to just Intermountain Health. Taking the Care out of Health.
