This Employee Technically Complied With Employer’s Selectively Enforced Rules

Nothing is as frustrating as employers who have rules that seem totally arbitrary, or that are applied so selectively it can be impossible to get a handle on how you’re supposed to behave on the job.

Luckily, there are always those employees who will maliciously comply with what they’re told to do, giving employers the chance to see just how stupid those rules were in the first place.

This guy, who went from loving his job to not, is a perfect example.

He kept getting more and more responsibility due to layoffs, but no more money to go along with it.

Things came to a head after new management arrived, and some of their more dubious policies possibly contributed to this guy’s collapsed lung.

They were after him to quit, pulling out all of the stops along the way.

In response, he went on a mission to make their plant the very safest one in the history of ever.

He went back to doing the one job he was hired for.

He would refuse to do things based on the “rules,” which he was following “to the letter,” just as they were. He waited to see whether they would blink first, because he wasn’t going to.

He went around with OSHA rules, generally making their lives difficult, until one day, a manager took the bait.

The employee was delighted. The manager, not so much.

The guy did finally move on, but loved hearing that they had to hire 5 people to do what he had been doing previously, and it still wasn’t getting done well.

This is why you treat people like human beings, managers.

They will happily go above and beyond, money be damned, if you do.

If you don’t, well…you could end up getting the short end of the stick in every way possible.

Here’s Another Tale of Why It Pays to Be a Reasonable Landlord

Things are rough these days with rents and contracts and businesses that require in-person customers in order to turn a decent profit. There have been plenty of stories about landlords who are out there trying to make things easier and better for everyone.

There have also been plenty of stories about landlords trying to take advantage of the situation, and the one in this story really takes the cake.

Before the current crisis happened, these people were re-negotiating their lease with their landlord. Even though they haven’t been open for business they were still paying rent – but the period to sign a new lease had lapsed.

Instead of being understanding and reaching out, the landlord filed for eviction. They had 7 days to get all of their possessions out or they would be legally turned over to the landlord.

Because of the type of business they owned, removing everything within a week – with very little staff and with movers and others who might be necessary all staying home – was going to be difficult.

But when they learned that the landlord was advertising the space WITH THEIR THINGS, well, they made it happen.

They took the movable things. They took the things they had to unscrew. They took the disco lights and the flooring they’d installed.

And I don’t blame them one single bit.

Now, not only does the landlord have no rent coming in, but he’s going to have to replace the floors and lights and a bunch of other stuff that he wouldn’t have had to do if he’d just been reasonable.

That’s what you get for being completely greedy and not giving a hoot about your fellow human beings.

This might have been petty, but I approve. People like this landlord can’t be allowed to get off scot free!

This Guy Plotted for a Whole Year to Spoil “Avengers: Endgame” For a Stranger Who Spoiled “Avengers: Infinity War” For Him

They say revenge is a dish best served cold, and if so, this one was served at absolute zero (for non-nerds, that’s zero on the Kelvin scale, equivalent to –459.67°F).

***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD***

If you haven’t seen Avengers: Endgame yet, the rest of this post is definitely going to have a bunch of spoilers you don’t want to see yet. Bookmark this post, go watch the movie in theaters, then come back and enjoy this afterward.

Ok, moving on.

Reddit user Jus10Sch lays out the story, but not before labelling his post with the warning we just gave you!!!!

We don’t ever recommend taking a bunch of pictures in a theatre, but this was revenge!

And yeah, he got Iron Man dying too…

His “friend” was serious befuddled…

That is stone fucking cold.

A worthy revenge if I’ve ever seen one.

10/10.
