When your upper management keeps ignoring you, what do you do? That's when you ask for forgiveness, not permission…

What can you buy these days with $14? You can get a drink with a friend at happy hour, you can see a matinee at the movie theatre, or you could maybe–just maybe–order a pizza. These days, 14 dollars isn't going very far, but for the intern at a law firm in our next story, her deluded boss seemed to think that $14 was just enough for an hour's labor. 

Most workplaces are phasing out the whole 'unpaid intern' schtick, largely because it's akin to indentured servitude. Either way, interns these days don't have pots of gold lying around for them and they're surviving on wages that barely pay the rent. This particular pre-law intern was struggling to afford basic necessities when her deluded boss approached her with the most audacious suggestion. In an attempt to clear out her own closet, the intern's boss, a big-wig lawyer woman, tried to sell off her designer clothes to her lowly lackey, unaware that a $4,000+ purse might be out of budget for an employee making $14 an hour. 

Keep on scrolling for this entire story of deluded riches where a lofty lawyer gets reminded of the cost of life for regular people. 

If you talk the talk, you better walk the walk. If you can't, you're in for embarrassment… and possibly even worse outcomes than that. 

This assembly line worker had an interesting story to tell about what happened to them and his coworker. This coworker, Richard, kept stealing the credit for his work, which is a surefire way to lower that employee's morale. It can be so dispiriting to work for ages on something, only to realize that no one knows you actually did it. When you see the big bosses thanking someone else for that work, you want to shout at them that you did it, not them. But since that's frowned upon in polite society, you usually just grin and bear it. 

Still, if you claim that you can do the work of two people, you should hope that your bosses don't hear. Most companies are trying to stretch their dollars as far as they can go, so if you go around volunteering to do that… well, the consequences are all on you.

After you check out this person's story of professional-level revenge, read up on these workplace red flags, like when the hiring manager says, "Oh, people like to work late." (They certainly do not!)

If there's one thing everyone knows about the internet at this point, it's that people can be absolutely unhinged online. Regardless of whether or not they choose to remain anonymous, people seem to love to share their ridiculous opinions and "hot takes" on the world wide web for everyone else to pick apart, agree with, disagree with, retweet, repurpose, and even mock. It makes you wonder why we post anything at all anymore yet people will only keep posting.

As we mentioned, these absolutely insane comments range from platform to platform. We're talking about everything from niche Facebook groups to the comments section on YouTube videos. What connects all of these comments, however, is usually a big "swing and a miss" regarding some alleged universal human experience and another party's sharp and savage response. The back-and-forth between these two extremes may make the Internet feel like the ultimate home of cringe, but it also makes it more and more like an accident from which you simply cannot look away.

Keep scrolling below for these comments and more. When you're done, here are some instant dating red flags.

Don't accept that job until you've vetted the company well. I know it's hard not to accept the first gig that offers you a contract, but it's worth your time to spot red flags before signing on. 

One person mentioned another great one, which is having a lot of very young people who are running an older company. Young people are great, of course, but it signifies that the company can't retain their older workers, who probably left to find better wages. And it implies that they're hiring youngsters who don't know any better. When you're 20 and starting your first job in the real world, you often don't know how to negotiate your salary or stand up to your boss. If managers take advantage of that, it's a sign that they don't respect any of their workers, young or old. 

As another commenter mentioned, some workplaces love to tout how fun they are. That was a very cool moment in the early 2010s, when companies started buying foosball tables and nap pods and making game rooms for the workers. It's an odd catch-22, though. If you're spotted playing pool in the middle of the afternoon instead of working, your bosses might give you the side-eye. It's hard to have actual fun if you know there are negative ramifications for doing so. Why not just have a normal workplace that lets you clock out at 5 PM and have fun with your friends and family instead? No one wants to spend all of their time at the office, no matter how fun it purportedly is. 

Up next, this manager changed up their employee's schedule just for funsies, and came to regret it almost immediately. 

No need to ask what day it is because we have been waiting for Caturday all week long!

These delightful creations capture the fun and randomness of our furry pals in all their quirky glory, providing endless entertainment and laughter.

Bad bosses will come up with any excuse imaginable to justify their poor management skills. 

This manager messaged his employees and used the rainy weather to justify delaying payment to his employees. The Redditor's coworker was smart enough to ask why he was forced to work under these weather conditions and yet he couldn't get paid on time. Employment should always be a two-way street, people, and that applies to every aspect of the professional relationship. 

This sounds like a grown-up version of a second grader claiming that his dog ate his homework. This manager also apparently refuses to compensate his employees via direct deposit (red flag alert, especially in this day and age!). Clearly, he was never going to pay his employees on time, and he simply thought he was slick enough to get away with it using the rain as justification… as if precipitation makes it impossible for someone to write a check.

Hey, cool cats and kittens. We think that all cats are beautiful here at I Can Has Cheezburger, but some cats are born with something extra special. In fact, it's not just cats that have this furtastic feline feature, but it does show up in quite a few kitties (especially white cats). These cats are born with different colored eyes, sometimes with two different colors in the same eye! It's called heterochromia, and it's absolutely ameowzing! 

You'll find a stunning supply of cool cats with multi-colored eyes just down below. Take your time during your scrolling to really look at each different kind of pattern these cats with purrfectly unique features have in their eyes. Why do cats have to be so beautiful? Can't they save some beauty for the rest of us?

Hey cat lovers, it's Caturday! Finally, right? This week felt like an eternity, just like the two minutes in between 7 AM and 7:02 AM (7 is when we usually feed our cats, and 7:02 is when we actually fed them this morning). We're pawsitively exhausted from this work week and we just need something silly to turn our brains off and go into full relaxation mode. So curl up on your purrfect spot on the couch, grab your nearest kitty, and get ready to scroll your way into Caturday bliss!

From cats pulling a "The Shining" and entering the bathroom (how dare you not include them in your toilet adventures) to realizing that someone stole your outfit at a party, these cute and funny kitties have us laughing our way into a purrfectly silly and relaxing day. It's nice to kick our shoes off and let our toe beans relax for a while, so let's do it together while enjoying some kitty comedy. Happy Caturday!

Quiet quitting is a phenomenon that is shaking today's workforce like a punch to the jaw. While nepo-baby executives quiver in their leather chairs up in their ivory towers, quiet quitting provides a refuge for employees that many have never felt before. Minimum effort for minimum pay offers solace and peace to employees, especially when our alternative reality sets in. 

Nobody wants to work extra hard for no reward, so why not just quiet quit like the Gen X employee in our next story? 

For u/UncreditedChoir, a Gen X guy working for a major electronics company, entering the workforce and working for a big company meant you were probably going to see some major benefits by the end of your tenure. However, with the shifting work climate and with childish corporate management stepping into higher roles, he was discouraged at his ability to climb the ladder. But for an older guy in the workforce who's willing to see the light at the end of the tunnel, when he learned what quiet quitting was, he was actually relieved. 

Scroll for the entire story–it might just inspire you the slack off a bit in the workplace to find your own employment peace of mind. 

Hey, friends! Today we are shining our famous ICanHasCheezburger spotlight on a beautiful Reddit story featuring a cute kitty cat choosing a human to become his/her own. And yes, a cat can adopt a human and not the other way around. Though, usually the human comes around in the end. When a cat chooses you, it means you've won the ultimate feline seal of approval! It's like being picked as the VIP in their social circle. They see something in you—maybe it's your vibe, your energy, or simply your warmth—and decide, "Yep, this human's my person." It's a purrfect bond of trust and affection. You become their go-to for cuddles, playtime, and all the snuggles. So, congrats! You're officially part of their inner circle, and that's a pretty special feeling.

The original poster of this delightful Reddit thread won a new friend and companion after mourning the passing of her doggo of many years. I don't know about you, but it seems like a divine gift.

This roommate taught their 'friend' a lesson about consequences that they'll likely never forget. After impulsively getting a betta fish in honor of the solar eclipse, the star of our next story was in for a roller coaster of emotions. They bonded with the fish, put them in a large bowl as a temporary home, and vowed that when they returned from work, they'd finish their tank and splurge at the pet store for some top-tier fish supplies. 

Well when they returned from work, the beloved betta was belly up in a random kitchen tupperware, slain by the reckless hands of a roommate who didn't care whether the fish lived or not. 

But when the fish-lover came home to their sad sack of scales, they went on a vengeance mission–a warpath, if you will–to get even with a disrespectful roommate. Scroll for the entire story of the implosion of a friendship, all because of the funeral of a beautiful beta fish.

Be very very careful with anonymous surveys… you never really know if they're actually anonymous or not! 

In some workplaces, HR will send around anonymous surveys every now and then. They can address mundane topics, like asking if people want more employee events, and trying to take the temperature on morale. Other times these surveys are directly asking how leadership is doing, and those feel risky to answer. Even if the results come through a third-party service, it can't be that hard to figure out who wrote what. 

This workplace seems pretty toxic, which is apparently a common trait at call centers. These employees do an important job, but it's not the kind of gig that most people want to take on. They have to talk to irate customers all day long. Turnover is high. And clearly at this place, morale is not great. These hard-working folks earn only about £4.00 above minimum wage, no wonder they're unhappy about it! Not to mention that any sane person would reply "yes" to the question, "Would you like a higher salary?". Not sure what this manager was thinking here, but it surely made an impression on her employees. 

Next up, this new employee was so excited to flex his newfound power that he ended up bossing around his own supervisor.

Lawyers taking on landlords sounds like it's one of those franchise spinoff film in which two villains from different franchises take on each other to see who is the biggest and baddest baddie out there. You're not even really sure why they're feuding, but that's really beside the point of these types of films. You know, something along the lines of Alien vs. Predator, Freddy vs. Jason, or Godzilla vs. Kong, there's certainly a precedent for these kinds of crossovers and Landlord vs. Lawyer deserves a place amongst them.

Still, even though you're really not really supposed to be rooting for these antagonists in their original mediums, these types of films always have a way of making them seem less one-dimensional or totally evil, even encouraging you to be sympathetic to their plights. In this story, it's hard not to root for the wily lawyer who managed to outsmart this fat-cat commercial landlord by manipulating his obvious greed into his own poetic downfall. 

Another Caturday is here, and here we go again. Once more, despite our warnings, you have come to view this collection of little criminals - as if being here is not dangerous or risky, as if itty bitty kittens are not the biggest criminals in the world. Yes, kittens! How many times do we have to say it? Kittens have intense influence over us. All it takes is looking at some pictures of awwdorable teeny weeny kittens, and that's it- our hearts immediately melt, awws start spilling out of our mouths uncontrollably, and we are filled with an intense urge to adopt a kitten right now that very instant.

On top of all that, we are so whipped for these precious and pawfect kittens that we make a listicle showcasing the smallest ones - i.e. the biggest criminals - every single week. And it looks like you're as whipped as we are, since you guys just keep coming back here week by week too. Continue at your own risk, guys, but don't say we didn't warn you.

City halls are notorious for being stuck up, but this one really takes the cake.

This chess club had eagerly prepared for their opening night, rented a venue (their city hall), and arrived with everything they needed to play chess, which would be chess boards and pieces. Somehow the fact they brought their own things became a huge deal. Their excitement turned into dismay when they were unexpectedly approached by a dude working for city hall. He peeked in, noticed their things, and asked where they took them from. The chess players said they brought them from home, which apparently, wasn't allowed. Things escalated, and the director of city hall was called. She was furious, and they were left confused. It didn't end there, but hey, I won't spoil the ending… Scroll down and read the rest of the story along with all the juicy details and comments below.

Some people need to chill. It's only chess! Afterward, check out these amusing boss stories told by incredulous employees.
