'Ended up putting in a two week notice... they acted surprised': Worker gives workplace 6 months notice, company avoids finding a replacement

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 12:00

This person gave their company half a year to replace them, and that still wasn't enough time. That's a generous offer! Most people give the usual two weeks' notice when switching jobs. It's the common courtesy to let your employer know that you're heading for the door, while also giving them time to strategize and start the hiring process for your replacement. 

U/Knowslittle wrote that their employer was making them do the jobs of three people. This worker was stretched so thin that it was becoming an unpleasant work environment. They proved that they cared about their company by giving them six whole months to figure out how to handle their departure. But still, the company just didn't move fast enough. Oh well, they did all they could to prepare their employers!

Commenters enjoyed the tale, and left stories of their own. Plus, in an edit to the post, the original poster shared their appreciation for the malicious compliance community, adding that workers should "value yourself and what you do." Sage advice for all of the workers of the world. 

Up next, if you're a Gen Xer who's ever programmed a VCR or rocked out to The Cure, you'll find these throwback memes totally relatable

'Employee quit because he got bit by a squirrel a customer threw at him': 20 business owners share their most bizarre quitting and firing stories

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 11:00

People have their own personal reasons for quitting jobs. Sometimes it's justified, and sometimes it's not, Sometimes it's planned, and sometimes it's impulsive. And every so often, the reason behind someone's departure at a company is so bonkers and unexpected that it almost feels like you're living in a movie or some heightened version of reality.

This time, instead of telling these anecdotes from the perspectives of those who got fired or quit, we're going to see how things went down from the points of view of the head honchos. Perhaps they learned a lesson or two and their employee was completely in the right. Or perhaps for once, these bosses were not all that bad and they were legitimately dealing with ridiculous employees. Even in this heated cultural moment with respect to how we view the workplace, that dynamic may still exist as well.

23 Memes to Keep Nighttime Employees Awake During the Graveyard Shift

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 10:00

The night shift is not for the weak. Whether you're working the third shift at a factory or a hospital, the real task is just staying awake. It takes a certain kind of grit and determination to work through the wee hours of the night while the rest of the world is fast asleep. It is possible shift your sleeping schedule, but it's tough when everyone around you is working different hours than you. You have to be willing to make some serious sacrifices to live the night shift life: no more daytime Netflix binges or lunchtime naps in the sun. Instead, you're forced to sleep during the day, like a vampire, and wake up groggy and disoriented, praying you don't sleep through your alarm and miss your shift. But it's not all doom and gloom. There are some perks to working the night shift, like higher wages and a slower pace of work. You just have to be prepared to miss out on brunch dates and daytime activities - unless you're into midnight breakfast and moonlit hikes, that is.

37 Memes for Employees With the Monday Blues

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 09:00

Getting the Monday Blues is in employees' DNA. Nobody likes going back to work after having a nice, long relaxing weekend spent by doing absolutely zilch. Maybe some micromanagers enjoy the prospect of coming back to psychoanalyze their employees' work, but for the most part, everyone likes the weekend.

I don't know who came up with the 5 day work week, but it feels a bit extreme. Why do we only get 2 days to chill? After the Industrial Revolution, employees' work time was cut into 2, but we still work the same amount of time. It's not like bosses were like, 'Oh, productivity skyrocketed, let's give workers a break'. No, instead, we get to work 40 hrs a week. Yay, capitalism.

Scroll down for the funniest and most enjoyable posts of the week for employees who have caught the Monday Blues. Then check out this employee who quit on the spot after being chastised by their boss for sitting down during a 12-hour shift.

'I was instructed to smile more': Tech support worker weirds out customers by maliciously complying with supervisor's instructions

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 08:00

This employee was confused by their boss's latest comments, and they decided to comply to the best of their abilities. 

For many women, being told to smile more is an unfortunate rite of passage. It's usually said by some older dude as the woman is working or just walking around, minding her own business. There's no winning in this situation. If you smile back on request, you feel degraded, and definitely not smiley. If you don't smile, they'll say something about kids these days, and why can't anyone just lighten up? There's no reason anyone needs anyone else to smile at them. If you have to ask for it, it's telling of your personality. Do you mean to tell me you can't get people to smile for you organically? You have to request it? That just makes me feel bad for you. 

It's also difficult when the person demanding you smile more is your boss. Some people just have resting B face, but that doesn't mean they're actually grumpy or unhappy with their work. At least this tech support employee got their employer to regret ever giving that feedback. It was truly a win for them — that boss is never going to tell someone to smile ever again. 

Next up, check out some of these great memes for the Gen Xers of the world (or anyone who's set up a VCR!). 

Kind Cat Enthusiast Couple Accidentally Takes In Pregnant Stray, She Gives Birth to 5 Healthy Kitten Babies

LOL Cats - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 08:00

Hey, cat enthusiasts! Today we are shining our wonderful ICanHasCheezburger spotlight on a fantastic story that tugged at our heart strings. When OP (the original poster) of this thread shared his story, we melted. OP and his girlfriend set out to trap a neighborhood stray to get him neutered and give him a real home. When they set up their 'have a heart' trap, they were surprised to find a pregnant female had taken the bait, and not the original stray that they were after. 

Nonetheless, they took in this beautiful pregnant female, anticipating that she had at least a couple of weeks until she was due to give birth. Well, surprises happen and the cat-loving couple came home a couple of days later to find that Mama had given birth to not one not two but five perfectly healthy kittens. And they have a sneaking suspicion that the daddy cat was their original target! Talk about a turn of events. Check out the pictures and all of the details below!

'The moment they get stuck they COMPLETELY shut down': Managers discuss the challenge of managing the younger up-and-coming generations

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 07:00

Every generation since the dawn of time has probably looked down on the younger ones with a hint of smug satisfaction in knowing that their upbringing was simultaneously harder and better (and faster and stronger) than the upbringing the kids these days were getting. Sure, we got to eat dirt, drink out of the hose, and hit each other with sticks repurposed as makeshift swords or lightsabers. We also got to explore the last blocks of forests remaining around the towns where we grew up that hadn't yet been logged for housing developments. 

But by the time Gen Z came along, those forest blocks had probably (definitely) been logged, and parents had decided that letting their children roam unattended and aimlessly—and that losing a kid or two to the wild unknown—wasn't an acceptable risk anymore. So, whereas our parents did their best to keep us away from the dark horrors of the internet, their parents, who had embraced the technology, handed them an iPad and locked them in a room with it for 15 years. As a result, the generation was raised digitally, and as we older folk would argue, they might have missed out on some vital life experiences and social cues along the way. 

In A Silly Switcheroo, Housecat Finds Itself Locked Outside While A Random Cat Takes Its Place, And He Is Not Happy About It

LOL Cats - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 07:00

Letting your cat outside comes with consequences. No, not for you. Forget about the consequences for you or your cat for a second. We're talking about consequences for your neighborhood. Because cats and menaces, and if you give them freedom, they will use it to do whatever the heck they want. And if something that they want exists in a house that is not theirs… well, that's not their problem. We constantly see stories of cats breaking and entering, whether it's cats breaking into apartments, or cats breaking into labs, or cats breaking into dentists' offices

Cats will get into wherever they want to. They don't care who stands in their way. Even if it's another cat. And that's what happened today. A neighborhood cat decided to chill in a different home today, and the cat who actually lives in that home paid the price. And yes, it's hissterical.

‘I’m not risking anything for you': Employee quits after company fails to provide them with a working vehicle or safety equipment, HR doesn't care

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 06:00

Your heart is racing as you make your way to your boss's office. The grey walls seem to be closing in on you, and you feel like every one of your coworkers knows exactly what's going on in your mind. You don't know how, but you know they do. Their eyes follow you up until you knock on your boss's door. Ahem, you clear your throat. They look up from their desk, tired, annoyed even. They wave for you to come in, and you take a seat. Then you clear your throat again…

'I quit', you manage to muster. They blink. Once, twice… three times. 'What?' They say faintly. You repeat yourself, in a stronger voice this time. How will they react? Well, one person screenshotted their resignation and uploaded it to Reddit, where people were aghast at how the company (or HR) replied. Scroll down to check the story out, and then, here is an employee who totally soaked a printer, expected it to work, and called IT.

'My workload diminishes and boss's increases': Employee makes micromanaging boss handle tasks, ends up coasting with no work

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 05:00

If micromanaging bosses would rather do all of the work themselves, perhaps everyone would be happier if they just did. That way, no one would be looking over anyone else's shoulders. No one would feel like they're being watched at all times of the day. Furthermore, no one would feel like their process of getting things done was not respected. 

Here, we have a micromanaging boss who kept listening in on their employees' calls with customers and correcting them in the middle of the class. Not only was this distracting and unhelpful for the employee, but it was also just an all-around bad look from the customer's perspective. After a while of trying to strike a balance between doing their job and pleasing their boss, the Redditor decided that if their boss wanted to micromanage, they might as well just handle all these phone calls themselves. Slowly but surely, the employee had fewer responsibilities and their boss no longer had to breathe down anyone's neck. 

Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section. When you're done, take a look at this post about a manager who ignored an employee's conflict.

‘I already moved on’: Manager demands former employee train new hire, despite them already starting a new job

Fail Blog - Sun, 04/21/2024 - 04:00

Not every employee who quits their job does it because they hated it. Some actually have a good relationship with their manager and hold a special place in their hearts for their place of work. Because of that, when the moment to leave arrives, they are actually happy to train the new hire and help the company as much as they can before they leave.

Unfortunately, that dream situation doesn't happen to many, and a lot of employees don't enjoy the process of training their replacement, like the person in this Reddit story (OP, original poster). OP put in their notice after a month on the job, and only when their final day arrived, did the manager bring the new hire to be trained. The training did not go well, and when the now-former employee told the manager about it, they demanded OP give it another day. But by this time, OP already had a new job lined up, so the conversation did not go well.

Hospitality employee quits after getting duped out of a supervising role, leaving their impatient employer understaffed: 'Good luck filling that role'

Fail Blog - Sat, 04/20/2024 - 21:00

If your employer can't wait 72 hours for you to start training for a new position, they have a serious understaffing problem that likely stems from bad management. They'll deny it until they're blue in the face, but management doesn't always know what's best for a company–especially when it comes to the hiring process. 

Hospitality industry jobs have a high turnover rate to begin with, but there are always a few loyal employees who stick around to climb the ladder. When management starts to mess with that loyalty, they're going to quickly realize that they're scraping the bottom of the interview barrel to fill other positions. In our next story, one hospitality company really fumbled the re-staffing of a supervisor position. After promising the job to an internal employee, they went back on their word and ended up compounding their short-staffing problem.
