"It sounded like someone trying to drown Donald Duck in a puddle while tooting a tuba"
That part of the video made my day!
🤢🤮
Very colourful. Was funny.
"It sounded like someone trying to drown Donald Duck in a puddle while tooting a tuba" LMFAO that made my day!
😆😂🤣🤦🏻♂️xD

Thank you for highlighting it so I don't have to.
We had a guy pull a knife out on another guy for calling him a racial slur. Management didn't find out that happened until months after the fact. The time limit to reprimand them and run out. They promoted the knife guy in an attempt to make it easier to fire him later on. He stayed on an additional 15 years and retired with better retirement and benefits. The other guy died under a year later of cancer. Life is strange.
The only time I went to HR about my boss' hostile tone and demeanor, she cornered me after HR talked to her about it and told me to come to her instead of going to HR. I immediately went to HR and said "I thought these were confidential. She just confronted me about it. Fix. The. Issue." She was fired like a month later.
I once reported to HR of a coworker who was bullying others and making inappropriate comments to the underage kid on our team. I was then written up for gossiping and rumor spreading.
I asked if they spoke to the others about the coworker bullying them and they said they didn't need to because the coworker denied everything and they were taking her word over mine.
I was then forced to apologize to the coworker for "lying" about her or I would have been fired. I pleaded with my other coworkers to report her as well to back me up that this woman was bullying them. But they were scared they would be treated the same way I had. The bully then got promoted to the head of the team.
I hated working there.
That's a pretty clear-cut case for retaliation and creating a hostile work environment. The best thing to do in that situation is ask for that in writing (the "apologize for spreading rumors or be fired" bit specifically) and then take that to the EEOC (or your country's equivalent, in fact, the US is one of the worst in this regard) because the "spreading rumors" they mentioned was reporting harassment, which is literally the textbook definition of a protected activity, and they put the causal link between a protected activity and you being punished in some way into writing themselves.
And if they were unwilling to put the punishment and reason for said punishment into writing, well... I don't remember the legal term for it, but that's basically trying to discipline someone off the record, which is, generally speaking, not legal. If you had a union to go to, the company would be screwed faster than they could say "oops", and even if not, if you had the ability to go without a paycheck or two, take the firing, because that requires a written reason or it's grounds for unfair dismissal, and the written reason, as I said before, would also be unfair dismissal, but in this case, it's one where a lot of lawyers would take the case on a contingency basis, because there's almost no way they could lose due to there being basically a written and signed confession already. It wouldn't be unlikely for the company to try to settle as soon as they got word of the lawsuit being filed in the first place, because they know they'd get the book thrown at them. A lawyer that could lose such a case would be very quick to lose all standing in the legal field, barely able to find pro bono work, let alone paid work.
This is why you don't defend spineless people if they are not willing to even defend the one defending them.
@@CaTastrophy427 couldn’t have said it better
OP I’m very sorry you were treated like that. I hate immature adults who never progressed past middle school, mentally. Explains why we have so many stupid trolls and bratty kids misbehaving online in comments nowadays (not here in this comment thread but you know what I mean)
Sue you have a case any lawyer worth their weight would have gotten you a settlement atleast
The dude who got promoted after stabbing his manager shouldn't have been given a choice since they were punishing him. it should have been a case of "The only position we are able to offer you in this department is this lower one. If you don't like that position, you're free to quit." Don't reward people for bad behaviour, Jesus Christ.
I always marvel at the absence of any kind of foresight and common sense in decisions like that. It's even better when the higher ups can't figure out how all Hell broke loose. Meanwhile the peons sit back and laugh as management runs around like headless chickens, trying to do damage control.
Yeah, apparently there were some weird circumstances and connections in government that would cause some issues if they tried to fire him, but what the frick was going on that made it preferable to promote someone who stabbed his manager?! O_o :-/
Orlando FL police, Orlando.gov had a patrol officer who was busted having sex with a known prostitute in a OPD office 👮♂️. The cop was first charged with sex crimes. He pled not guilty & the court case fell apart. He was retired, early 20yr. The cop had a long history of misconduct, IA complaints but he got full pension, city benefits.
"Going back I wish I'd held my ground and quit" so many things wrong with America because "I didn't want to lose my job" and "I needed the money"
I love the loud, *"GOTTVERDAMMTSCHEIßE!!"*
I feel you, man. I feel you.
(For the story that starts at 5:27)
Oh dear... you know someone is PISSED when they shout "GODDAMN SHIT!" (or something along those lines) at the top of their lungs in German.
I was the HR nightmare.
I been working in Produce for 17 years as a manager. The field is male dominated because you have to reach roughly 6' above your head to unload 50lb cases above your head as well as walking on cement roughly 5 miles a day or so.
Many woman can't physically handle this type of work and so quit. I never did as I'm 5'8" and worked on a farm in my teens.
So I'm at a manager's meeting where it's roughly 3 dozen men and only 2 women. I noticed our HR guy kept on mentioning "men" and "guys". Never stating the only 2 working females in the room.
So I decided I'm gonna be the @$$ out the bunch and stood up saying. "Excuse me. There's women here too."
He turned PALE. Scared the living crap out of him. I laughed at it and told everyone just joking and then the whole room laughed about it as it was a jab towards him.
Then afterwards I personally apologized to him for doing that.
A turtle approved these HR nightmares
I was probably a bit of a HR nightmare.
I have a tendency to speak exactly what's on my mind. I don't want to be mean in any way, it's just how my brain works. One time a colleague came to work with a new haircut. She asked people about their opinions - I didn't know what to say so I just blurted out "It will probably take me some time to get used to." She reported me to HR for this 'rude comment about her personal appearance'.
Not long after this our safety consutant (a big lady) had some improvements for us that she had fought with management for a while. I said "Yeah you really put on a lot of weight regarding safety." 'Put weight on [something]' is a common Danish phrase to indicate that you find something particularly important. She took it as I made fun of her weight and I had a talk with HR.
Having learned my lesson from these experiences, I mostly kept my mouth shut because my thought process was 'that way I can't say anything that will get me in trouble'. Right? Wrong. Now I was suddenly non-coorporative and arrogant because I never spoke to anyone. Had a stern talk with HR (I think they were getting tired of me).
All this led to me being more and more frustrated at work, so one day when someone commented how silent I had become recently I had a meltdown. "What should I do?? If I say things straight ahead, I get in trouble! If I don't say a damn thing, I also get in trouble! WTF do you want me to do??" And you guessed it....I was sent to HR for behavioural problems. And let go not long after that.
Oh the military the only place you work for that you can be arrested or At least detained for quitting with no notice
To be fair the government does spend over 100k on average for training each soldier, they sure as hell ain't gonna let that money walk out the door with no punishment if they can help it.
Anybody else ever notice that when you try to report a commenter, there's no option on the list to report a suspected bot? Considering how often I see the same canned comment posted over and over again on video after video, it's not unreasonable to assume that it's not being posted in real time by a flesh and blood individual. Is UA-cam really so out of touch that it never occurred to them that this might actually be a thing that people might want to report? 🤦♀️
If none of the 5 choices fit, then pick the worst one, probably the sexually explicit or child abuse. That should get some attention and YT should find it's a bot...
When I got divorced, it never occurred to me that I would also be losing my fantastic insurance. I showed up at the eye doctor and after they reminded me I no longer had eligible insurance, I called up my dentist and, sure enough, no insurance to see them, either. Fuck.
I had never even thought about that. Haven't been to the dentist in ten years, now!
See if you can visit a dental training school to get your work done at a discount by students.
That first story made me tear up with laughter would love to work at a place like that.
HR people seem to deal with lot. i need to listen to a whole podcast of all kinds of crazy and interesting HR stories
grandma approved
Give me da cookied
Ok boomer.
Thanks grandma
@@demonichumor4917 lol
no
LOL TLDR: Military member hears gunshots, gunman sees military guy, mistakes him for a cop, and kills himself
Funniest story I ever seen 😂
HR here and some of the nonsense I have to deal with is beyond comprehension.
But hey, the pay makes up for it.
"HR Nightmare Stories"...is there any other kind of HR story? :-|
Not sure that I'm aware of.
so much for confidentiality
They are only obligated to not give names or other identifiable information
What is it about people watching porn in public, can they NOT look at it at home?
It's a kink for some, some are oblivious to the fact it's not appropriate.
Sometimes the mood just strikes. It's even worse when you have a few mins on break so you check your gaming discord...and they always have an nsfw section. It's just right there lol.
@@HH-ru4bj When I'm at work and feeling that, I'm smart enough to suppress it. Do it at home fuckers.
about 2yr ago, I was at BNA in Nashville TN. ✈️. At the gate, saw a wierd guy openly watching po** on his large screen smart phone. Right around kids, family seniors. I was annoyed. It was a Nashville to Orlando flight.
6:49. As a private detective who had done hundreds of workers' comp investigations, and now as an employer, I am entirely okay with number 2.
Wow, that pregnancy one is just what the heck .
" stab your manager and get a promotion " ........ sounds like a win win to me!! :)
I'm like 90% sure that nurse story is at my old job....if not it's super common because we had this incident almost exactly happen. Though I think the nurse for us was passed out in her car when they forced her to go test. Her husband ended up leaving her over it all.
I'll name the company, Napa Auto Parts. Anyway we had an HR lady who got drunk at a Christmas party an made out with the Operations Manager's wife. Found out she would curse like a pirate in meetings.
3:43 never understood why in situations like that I've only heard of them going at eachother and not the guy double-timing them both
If the cheatee blames the cheater it reflects their own error in putting trust in the cheater. Blaming the other party is easier than acknowledging their partner betrayed them.
6:15 I was listening and not looking, and couldn't figure out why 100 euros was such a big deal. Europe reverses the comma and period in number notation. Makes sense now.
AMEN
The engineering situation with HR is awful. You shouldn’t be allowed to regulate departments without understanding of what they do.
Sorry I'm late, but, what astounds me the most, is that these people are adults. If teenagers did these, I'd say well, you'll learn, but what the fuck?
"sexy investigation" I know that is an autocorrect mistake but it sounds fun.
I thought it was "sexy inquisition."
How very appropriate.
The drug test one is positively going to leave your system in 48 hours. Depends on how long you are using.
Not all HR are bastards, but the ones that are can make a workplace super toxic. I’ve had to sue an HR for slander after she tried to get me fired for another job by calling my boss and spreading these awful lies about me.
Fortunately my boss at the other job didn’t believe me, he even let me hear the voicemail, record it, and transcribe it for court.
Sorry but with that last one I thought that you would promote a good employee up to the new grade to make the opening at the given pay grade
Yeah, what sort of situation was there that made it preferable to promote an employee that stabbed his manager? >:-/ There had to be a bunch of other solutions.
Hi
Here before turtle 😗✌️
yowza
Ah there is nothing like telling an HR person (outside of HR) that the latest training video, almost all the bad acts were done by white men, with 1 white woman, and 1 possibly Hispanic woman. Eyes got big and worried. I only noticed because the video was very borings, so I kept a tally.
crusader approved
That thumbnail tho!
Are you saying trump is an HR nightmare based on the thumbnail? Lol, well, he was certainly a PR nightmare. Whatever they paid her it wasn't enough.
