Saw a story about a guy who ran an investment ponzi scam, when the feds busted him, his mom, aunt and uncle, and grandma put up their homes as collateral for his 100k bail. Because they "believed in him". He left the country and they all lost their homes. The grandma died basically from the shock of the betrayl. Really infuriating.
@@rockingbeat Bernie was like 70 when he was caught and he didn't need to beg for a 100K bail when he owned multiple properties. If anything, his family were leeches who also got in the caught in the mix or immediately sued to make sure they kept their shit like his wife who tried to make sure all the crap they bought was hers and not touchable by the suit.
Knew a guy named Tom that worked in our company. He was the best electrician, could fix anything, could do literally any job, and had 20 years experience. All around great guy and great employee. Management had a problem that needs to be solved out of town. They chose Tom because he knows what to do and is clearly the man for the job. They send him on his way and give him a company credit card. They tell him to buy whatever he needs to get the job done. Tom leaves and comes back 2 days later. Job completed. Boom. Fired on the spot. The official story is that he bought a meal with the company credit card and they didn't authorize that. But the truth comes out later. One of the managers hated Tom because he was black. He didn't want the best employee at his company to be a black man. Now we lost an amazing worker and good friend... because of petty racism.
This is one of the very few instances where robbing the father blind and leaving him with virtually nothing is totally justifiable. That or just killing the bastard I'd happily look the other way.
"There's no such thing as corporate loyalty anymore" There never was. It's a myth that was sold to our forefathers to get them to give their lives to a company all in the promise that the company would do right by them. But corporations by the very way that they operate have always treated human beings as replaceable assets. There was never any loyalty from corporations. If you did good work for them, they kept you around, but as soon as they decided someone else could do your job for a much lower wage you'd be gone. They'll call it downsizing, restructuring, reassessment...whatever. It's just about finding some tiny little reason that they can use to legally get rid of your ass when it's no longer convenient for the corporation. The sad thing is that this happens to all levels of a business. Whether you're on the board of directors at the top or the lowliest key pusher at the bottom, the machine can grind you out all the same. Corporations are beasts, and loyalty has never been a real thing with them.
Some rules I learned about the workplace a long time ago: 1.) Never make friends with/date anyone you work with. 2.) When mgmt/owners make a point of telling everyone that everything's okay, RUN. 3.) Above all else, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
>1.) Never make friends with/date anyone you work with. Man, if I don't make friends with people I work with, where do I make em? Work is where I spend most of my time other than my house, where I find it difficult to meet people for some reason.
@@saphironkindris yeah that’s the thing about school, everyone switches out every year or semester and they can’t affect your money if things go sour. But work is different. It’s harder to make friends as an adult. I used to go to parties and make friends with ppl were tied to ppl I know one way or another. I have friends from hs but haven’t made new ones. If I were more social I’d prolly take my own friends and try to go to a city event (they’re everywhere and some are free like a kite parade or car show) and try to have fun with other strangers. Offer to share food and stuff. Then maybe get their socials. Finding ppl close to your own age can be tricky cuz the real world is more diverse.
Something like this happened to my stepmom. She works as a chef for a big company and has a manager who was intimidated by her because she (my stepmom) could easily have her job in a heartbeat. One day, they have to cook for a dinner party the owners wife is hosting (pre-Covid this is a few years ago). My stepmom made almost all the meals, and managed the entire thing. When the owners wife asked to speak with the chef, to thank them, my stepmoms manager took 100% credit for everything. Even though multiple people said otherwise. No one did anything because she’s been there for years and has friends in high up places. But my stepmom wouldn’t stand for it. So she got the owners wife’s email, and told her everything. Explained how her manager did nothing, yet still took credit. The owners wife replied with a thank you and the manager was written up and never taken seriously again.
01:22 We managers had to use Excel to write out employee schedules. This was a long painful cut & paste type of operation. The Excel schedule forms were too large to see and review all at once on screen. It was easy to mess up and not notice until the finished schedule was printed; And even then. Anyway, I took to learning advanced Excel and devised a system that enabled one to use predefined codes, or even define new codes, that were entered on a smaller and more accessible worksheet. What took before 45 minutes or more only took 10 to 15 minutes, and errors could be seen at a glance. It could even show a tally of hours schedule as one went. I shared the my version of the schedule workbook with others at my location and showed them how to use it. The HR broad just scoffed. Then a few weeks later corporate sent out the NEW schedule workbook. Yup, mine. The HR broad had sent my version of the schedule workbook to corporate under her name. Funny thing, only my workplace mastered using it, because I trained my co-workers. Pressed by corporate for how-tos, the HR broad tried to pick-my brain. I just played dumb. Most other locations just quit using it.
Too bad they didn’t ask “ her “ to go around and teach it , then she’d have to blow her cover because you’d have to be the one going and teaching it ! lol i would’ve most definitely gone in and told them that she is the one taking credit for something that she had zero time or effort in creating and she doesn’t deserve any of the “ atta boy “ for . Pretty sure she met her karma !!!
I am a gay male. We’ll get to why I explained that later. I had a female co worker who I was making friends with. She was talking about her boyfriend. I asked if I could see a pic. I commented “Girl he’s hot! Good job!” She then began acting distant and weird. I didn’t understand why. But I assumed she was having problems outside of work and I gave her space. I get called into a conference room with two managers. I was reported by a female claiming that I quote “made her uncomfortable.” I asked what they said. They wouldn’t tell me what this person said. They then interrogated me like police claiming I remembered what I said. I don’t because you won’t tell me anything. I decided to walk out and quit. If someone’s gonna tell on me but management won’t tell me anything I’m not working there. Fast forward a month later, I’m at my new job. Old co worker runs into me there and told me that the girl who reported was the work friend I made. She falsely reported me saying that I was making comments about wanting to rape her boyfriend in her sleep because she “knew that I was gonna try to steal her boyfriend.” And she said all that stuff to basically get rid of me. What angers me the most is the old co worker told me she was laughing about it. She reported her though after recording it on her phone and she was fired.
To the kid that toiled twenty years in the family business. Rob your family of the money from the sale. And go all Menendez brothers on both of your parents. Disappear into the night. The end.
Well i wouldn't go THAT far xD, but i would tell my father off, break a whole bunch of his shit, and then cut all contact, if he even needs help in life ill tell him to use all the money and time he stole from me.
This is just too painful to listen to all the way through. I worked 16 years for a very honorable publisher and then had my own printing business for 21 years. This was all without backstabbing. I miss those days. Two of my employees even gave me gifts when they moved away. My customers were great too. All business people are not scoundrels or backstabbers.
Not when / if they’re scamming , taking the credit for or not doing you right . Families are only families by the blood they share . Some family members are more harmful than helpful and can be the most toxic person in your existence and we’re not supposed to be treated wrong , like shit , scammed , or any other way but with the utmost respect, treated fairly and compensated property and not supposed to take any crap from them because they’re shitty human & family member . There’s not enough love in the world to be done wrong even if they’re family . Nope
That dad who essentially threw their kid under the bus is the literal definition of boomer logic: “I worked my ass off for everything, while being paid pennies, and got everything. Even though times have changed, if you do the same as me, while I enjoy the luxuries provided to me by the economy that was built just for me, you CAN make it too.” Later. “Oh, sorry, you should’ve worked harder. Maybe if you were smarter or understood hard work better you’d be as successful as I am. Be glad you even had a job. I used to work for pennies you know, and still didn’t complain.”
Exactly. This is honestly the best example of what boomers, millionaires and billionaires do to the whole world. Can't wait for us to start burning them.
Not boomer logic, both of you are just sad. That father is a sociopath. Most humans don't trash on their families like that dude did. Both of you are ageist. I feel sad for your spawn who will treat you as you are treating the previous generations.
@@stevendrake3155 uhhh, I’ve seen PLENTY of parents treat their kids that way. Not all of them, obviously, but it’s a lot more common than you think. And that’s ok, after realizing I’m probably too selfish for them, and that I don’t want to end up being like my own parents, I don’t plan to have kids. My younger cousins and nephews are my kids and they’re good enough for me.
@@frisbyart Facts and same. I decided not to have kids unless I'm 100% willing to love them unconditionally, have a house, have enough money to support them financially, 100% support them emotionally and mentally. Also, I had to already taken therapy before them. So until then, I'll stick with my cats.
The guy who did twenty years of work, If that was me, I would move states away, cut off all contact and never speak to him again. That is evil, unforgivable, and a terrible thing to do to your own flesh and blood.
23:40 The guy in this story should consider the business split a blessing in disguise. Not only did his "best friend" reveal his true nature early on in their business careers (as opposed to late like in the father/son story), but he made the mistake of firing this excellent businessman who was the carry of his business. Were I this guy that was fired, I would start again and create a competing business in the same areas and *utterly crush* the so called "best friend's" business. He (the one fired) was clearly the reason behind the success, so I have no doubt that he would be able to not only replicate the success in a new venture, but easily surpass his "best friend." It would be poetic justice.
Was in sales. Found out one of our 'greeters' was hiding leads, asking them to come later in the night when sales guys weren't working, sell them himself and pocket the commission. The sales team was Infuriated when we inevitably found out. He wasn't very bright.
The father story: that man needs to cut that person out of their life for good. He needs to never speak to them again, block him everywhere. I feel so sorry for that OP. His father ruined his life. He is probably so tired abd crushed at this point that I don’t know if he can start over again at 32, when people start being more secure in their jpb, start buying houses, getting married etc. Never do this, never work for others under the promise that in years you’ll get your reward somehow. I don’t blame him because that was his dad.
when i was little, my dad owed a restaurant. he gave 500 dollars to some dude who committed check fraud after taking about 20k from a really nice old woman and about 50k total from other people. he left the country, leaving 3 kids and his wife behind. i feel super bad for the old lady because she got arrested because the 20k he took was in her name.
My dad created one of the calibrations departments at a very large biomedical company in the US, along with his boss and a few others. After over a decade of overworking him, denying payraises, etc... they laid him off, citing dissolvement of the department... then years later, emailed him to come back as a no-benefits, fixed pay rate, short-term contractor, in the same position he created. He decided to see where it would go, but never heard back when he responded.
Not a big business, but I was an intern for a Chamber of Commerce in my town for a couple of months. I helped making new member posts, filming and photographing ribbon cuttings, ect. Well a day or two after I helped with this festival that happened to be super popular in my town, I asked my boss for a raise (Like a dollar or 2 more than what I was already making) or some more hours. Well she then decided to tell me that I wouldn't reach my full potential if I continued working for her, so she basically fired me. Thanks a lot Susan...
My father spent 10 years building his consulting business and partnered with a guy he worked with in the government. . He was embezzling funds to find his lavish life and we didn't find out until the Aussie tax department called us after he was audited. Nothing happened to him but some fines. It wassnt multi millions or anything just about 250k in 1998 money. So probably around a million today. Still my dad got the call while we were away on Xmas holidays. Needless to say he spent the next 4 days cutting him out of the business and talking to lawyers. The tax department were owed money by the company that this guy had not been paying ...so it was a big fight. This guy was like family to us....I remember my father being more dissapointed then angry. He had to start all over again with this hanging over his head. Dad did end up becoming a success on his own and we work together in the family business to this day so it ended well but it was just when my father was seeing some success. He held a lot of hate for him for a few years. Lost all his clients. Basically he eventually shut it down and started a new with a new business name
i was the salesman at a phone retailer. The regional manager promised me a promotion if i kept my sales up. i did that and also trained new recruits to match my sales numbers everyone loved me and trusted me as their leader. The regional manager went back on our deal and instead promoted someone who is way younger than me. I told them theyre peices of shits and left right away. The word got around to all my trainees and they didnt want to work for this young kid. They ALL quit. 3 months later the company closes down in our state with negative revenue. I took a picture of the now empty space that used to be their store. Sent it to the regional manager saying "This is what happens when you dont recognize greatness"
Brings me back to my own incident: Just got out of 6 year service and started working at a postal warehouse. Was and still am in the mindset of just get the job done right and quickly. This allowed me to learn almost every role needed to basically run an entire section and train others to do the same. Management kept encouraging me to “apply for this position because you’d be great!” I would, but then get notified someone else had gotten the position. I did this twice before finally just saying “I’m sorry, but I can’t continue to work here,” after I had been informed another person had gotten another position I had applied for.”, and it was none other than another co-worker who I had to convince that working well and keeping a positive attitude is worth it… Found out from another manager that once I walked away so did 3 others in that area because they really preferred my style of getting things done. With them being severely short staffed and the newly promoted not able to keep up that positive attitude, they quickly fell behind with orders. Costing them approximately 350k a month, for about 4 months till HQ replaced the newly promoted and operations manager who had become great friends leading up to the promotion…
I opened a roofing company. I was hiring and growing like crazy. I had 10 full time employees and dozens of subs on year 3 and was on track to do about $5million. I had a program in place to hire convicts from a halfway house. While on work trip/vacation in Denver my company card was declined... I was shocked. I called the bank and found I had a balance of like -$30. I had over $40k earlier that day. Found out my office manager had robbed me blind while I was out. Bank said there was nothing they could do about it. He walked Scott free. Edit; Yes I called the police. They said there's nothing they can do about it because it was a civil matter. I called attorneys and they said there's nothing they could do about it because his name was on the business account as well as mine. I put his name on the business account so he could write checks to subcontractors or employees while I was out of town or out of the office.
I got stabbed. At the former place of work all the shopping carts have indicators saying "Don't put kid in cart." I found a lady who had put her two kids in a cart and they where jumping up and down making the metal cart bounce. I asked the lady if she would please remove the kids from the cart; she complies but tells me I'll regret it. Next week my head cashier escorts me to HR and has me laid off for unprofessional attitude. I think it's worth mentioning when I was originally hired the policy was to start new cashiers at $12/hour and a few months later it was changed to California Minimum Wage (Found out in the gossip)
I feel that a lot of people in these stories that were screwed over have proper motivation to cause serious bodily harm to the people who screwed them over
I'm adding two more axioms to my list of job axioms: *BWP: Boobytrap Where Possible.* _Make it so things go to you-know-where if they let you go._ Not the same as Make Yourself Indispensable (MYI). MYI is to make it hard for them to get rid of you. BWP is to have things just fall apart if they do get rid of you. *ALL: Always Locked and Loaded.* _Always searching out ways for retribution against them if needed._ Example: The lady at 11:41 should have had, at a minimum, documents ready to go reporting her boss and the firm to the IRS and state tax authorities, etc. She also should have had documents ready to for her to file a criminal case against the boss for embezzlement. Once she was out, it was too late.
@3:30 I used to do phone sales at Gateway. It was shocking the number of salesmen that got "The Presidents Award" for sales, and then were walked out of the building two weeks later once their scam was figured out. Commissioned sales is like Casinos, the only way to beat the house is to cheat.
Not me but my wife. She began working as a phlebotomist at the local hospital. for the first three months of training she scored average to high on all of her tasks and got along well with her coworkers. We both thought she was well on her way to the promised $30 an hour in approximately two years. At the three month mark her department was taking a lunch break. A discussion of religion came up and all but my wife were members of various evangelical churches. At one point my wife mentions she is Mormon and she does things a little differently but it's pretty much the same. The coworkers acted surprised for a moment then the conversation shifted and she didn't think much of it. Her next evaluation scored below average and the co workers weren't as nice to her. The evaluation after that was even more below average and the co workers became more and more distant. She couldn't figure out why her scores were dropping or why these friendly people were giving her the cold shoulder. Within a month she was fired for poor performance reviews. Apparently we are not out of the 19th century yet where it's ok to backstab someone for not being the correct religion. It all started after the discussion of religion but there was no way for her to prove that conversation ever took place.
Former co-worker worked at Nokia as a software engineer. Busted his ass to make "architect" (i.e very senior engineer) and continued to do so. Soon after a very important client demanded Nokia have an "architect" immediately do a deep analysis of the product code base because of a very minor issue, but all the "architects" had just gone on holiday. He, being just about to leave on holiday with his family agrees to come in and spend the next three weeks carrying out this deep analysis. Gets a personal thankyou note from one step below the CEO. Come the merger with Alcatel-Lucent and they need to reduce headcount. To make things fair the decision on who's to be let go is done by people who don't know them to mitigate potential bias. One "architect" from that group was to be let go and not having a clue about who's done what and worked how hard the person tasked with the decision just chooses for the most junior one, my former co-worker.
7:27 that definitely warrants a complaint to the Labor Board. Also you should be able to qualify for unemployment since it was a hostile, toxic work environment and they withheld your pay. You may even want to talk to an employment lawyer.
My humble opinion. If you get a better job offer, take it. If you tell your employer and they convince you to stay by offering the same thing as the competition, they will immediately start looking for your replacement whom they can pay less. Don't do them any favors, they wouldn't do the same for you
First story, that's firing without probable cause so she could sue the company for that and I think if enough of her coworkers helped her, she might get her job back.
I wrote distribution software for our company in the UK. We had a very tricky issue with a distributor that we worked with. My boss and I visit the distributor, and we find that there was an issue with the contract they were on with our company, and rather than fix the contract, we had to figure out a way to make it work for the distributor on the current contract. We spent 6ish months coming up with a solution and implementing it so everyone is happy. 3 times during this process, someone in the company called me up for a casual chat to find out how the job was going, and I just let him know thinking nothing of it. I find out later, that he's been reporting back to head office and claiming all responsibility for the project. He got a pay rise and a bonus for just making 3 phone calls to me :| I got nothing.
Denial of treatment for Gulf War illness. The VA outsourced treatment to universities to make it nearly impossible. Now I have to deal with 2 CF organizations.
I have a coworker who tried to backstab me for a promotion. We had an opening for a manager position open up that I applied for. My manager at the time told me that I wasn't there yet and we made a game plan to get me there. Well, unbeknownst to me my coworker ran to our manager and told her things about me like how I was always on my cell phone (I'm not, but she is), how I never answer phone calls (I'm the only one who does), and that I push new accounts on to her (she'd only been there 6 months and was begging to open the new accounts so I let her take them). I found out about this from my regional manager when I met with her when she told me I got the position and my coworker was acting pissy. Turned out she wanted the position too and decided to try and sabotage me so she'd look like the better candidate. I've worked with her almost 3 years now and I keep her at an arms length.
some of these stories havd made me jaded in a sense. i know the world is cruel and a lot of people are out for themselves. thats why if i ever work anywhere and my work could be stolen im going to do that white name invislble trick. make sure in some way shape or form me and me alone has the info to prove my work is my work. Like how some people who code things make a line of code that will break if you dont do this or that at this time. Thats what i would do.
There was an guy (I heard this story frome an employe right after I started working), which was in charge of pays turns out he was stealing money for years frome the company but no one known an thing becuse a lot of people trusted the guy when people started to look at what he does he paniked stole around 100 000 and left the country
With the 1st one It's like No: Have somebody that is great at their job and everyone agrees is the best. Yes: Have someone who is prettier and younger just because you are in a relationship with them.
My husband was a delivery driver for a successful HVAC and lighting company in northern Georgia. Over the course of 10 years they fired or otherwise lost 3 other drivers, leaving him as the only driver, essentially doing the work of 4 people. When Obama was elected President, the owner of the company used this as an excuse not to give him or the other employees even a cost of living raise for the entire 8 years he was President. My husband was entitled to 3 weeks vacation when he hit 10 years, and when he went to schedule his vacation time for the year, they suddenly produced an amendment to the employee handbook stating that 3 weeks vacation had been changed to 15 years instead of 10, but lying and saying he’d been notified of this prior. When he called me to tell me what they did to him, I told him to quit on the spot. He did. They then stabbed him further in the back by not reimbursing him for the 2 weeks paid vacation he’d already taken that year. I called the Georgia department of labor and was told it was all perfectly legal.
Never take on extra work without getting extra pay. Get it in writing, then perform the work. @16:58 - Bueno. Got the pay bump secured? Time to cash out the vacation/sick days.
I sold a restaurant to a guy who had made million in the telephone industry. He was a total slime ball but he was dumb enough to buy a restaurant so that was at least good for me. He had started his company with his best friend from his youth. They would purchase telephone lines from the local phone company then “rent” those lines to illegal immigrants since they could never be on record to even have a phone bill. The business went nuts. They became millionaires within a year. Fast forward a few years and Irving finds out that the government was changing the loophole that made their business possible. He doesn’t say a word about it to his best friend. Instead he goes to him and says he wants to retire and offers to sell his friend his half of the business. The guy jumps all over the offer. He puts everything he owns up as collateral for the loans to buy the business. The deal goes through then the law gets changed. That guy ruined his best friend financially. They could have sold to someone else or just liquidated everything and both been wealthy for generations. Instead he chose to fuck over his friend.
Happened to one of relatives who worked for his friend's startup for lower pay.. Worked his a*s off to set up and start the plant(12-14 hrs a day for 7 days a week for about an year) but when the time came to senior manager's position to be filled(which my relative was promised). owner hired a new guy for the position... Imagine the rage...
Early '90s finished apprenticeship, but not offered full job at end - they hired two people to do what I did; then went to job in vineyard - fired me and had two replace me; worked in different schools in Taiwan - fired and most places hired two to replace me; worked in warehousing and delivery, where 'manager' would set me u to fail on daily basis, then call me stupid, so I told him if he calls me stupid again I'd kill him where he stands, then tells the boss I am bullying him for saying that, so told boss what he was doing, with other witnesses, but boss still said I was bullying him (good news was that after I left the company went under big time); another delivery company, worked there for four years, fired, and replaced me with two; the pattern continues to this day. "You're a fool!" No, I just have a personal work ethic which almost no-one else I know has. Arrogant? No, just facts. I work for a reason most don't like or cannot sustain in themselves, even wife is @#$&* at me for my attitude towards work. Wish I could get payback, but no-one thinks I am worth it. LOL
dont know if this counts but when i started my first job within 6 months was promised a supervisor role signed the contract and everything. then the day of it meant to happen found out they gave it to a guy who was completely useless at the job and the reason they gave it to him was because they wanted someone older as the people at the work place who have been there 200 odd years wouldnt listen to a 18 year old worst part is the guy who got the job was 19 he was 1 week older than me
Not a business person but I am a freelance writer. When I was still new to the writing world, there was someone I met who was a “producer.” Let's call her Molly. She talked a good game. Being a naive early 20 something with no business sense at all, it wasn't hard for her to get into believe that she could help me get my work produced into a feature film. After a while the mask started to slip. There was even basic common knowledge things that I knew, that she didn't. For someone who claimed to have a strong theater background, she didn't even know the difference between a soliloquy and an aside. Even 10th grade literature students know that. To make an already long story much shorter, Molly stole my writing which constitutes theft of intellectual property. She plagiarized it and committed copyright infringement. I wouldn't have even found out if she wasn't so damn sloppy. She was all about emails and conference calls. This was before zoom. I got copied on one of the email that I read the entire message thread. Right when I was about to bust her and out her as a lying grifter with zero skills or talent, she called me up flipping out because the director of “our” movie had quit. She had been telling me two different stories. In reality, her plans were to turn it into her a little vanity project: written, produced and starring her. It's totally worth pointing out, Molly cannot act to save her life. I informed I had a boatload of evidence against her and was well within my rights to post everything all over social media and there wasn't a legal leg for her to stand on. She was shaking in her shoes. I told her to turn into a ghost or I would expose her for the lying, untalented fraud that she is. The director later passed away and she tried to make that all about her. That's a different story though.
This is why I resent being asked for references. I have worked for so many lowlife scumbags... Not only did I have to leave the positions to save myself, but if I even whisper a bad word about a former employer, I am often seen as the problem.
It hurts far more when what you thought was your best friend does it. But, I learned my painful lesson. There will be no more friends after that horrible betrayal, then getting painfully abandoned. Friends are nothing but a low level enemy in disguise. They will hurt you, it is just a question of when.
From what I know, the 👨🏼🚒 guys who started Firehouse Subs started by going to Larry's Giant Subs. They acted like they wanted a new contract, Larry's restaurant franchise. The execs, staff taught them, showed them how to run a sub shop-small business. Vendors, locations etc 🗂. The Fire House guys backed out at the last second & left Larry's to form Firehouse Subs chain. A real scum bag move. They act like they support fire depts, cops, 🚑 but the company owners are 2 faced jerks.
Happens all to often and eventually karma steps in and they’re left standing scratching their heads like “ what the fuck just happened “ knowing that karma finally caught up with them .
I wonder how many of these OPs were actually big slackers and lied about how much they were doing or at least reframed everything to make themselves the victim.
23:50 Delete/wipe the social media accounts, and just say financial or worker issues. If society is built upon pettiness and greed but hidden behind an illusionary justice, then life's just trying to make you like it or flirt with it. All jokes aside, I would delete or wipe the accounts (your effort that you won't get a penny for)
not much of a backstab but this business woman simply just went MIA on my mom after a year of creating a business, when my mom finally contacted her, she acted as if nothing happened.
At Camp Pendleton Fire around 1987, we had an inspector that scammed his way to chief by reporting the actual chief for not being present, he was going through a divorce and forgot to fill out paperwork, they both had tenure so essentially the chief became the inspector. This guy would write the truth for recommendations then lie when other departments called could never file an EEO on him because he was a piece of shit to everyone, he died last year and I am not sorry.
Always document, never take the counter offer, never work for no pay (either extra work or more hrs) esp as salary and never ever work for a family business esp if youre family. Family is worthless and means nothing when it comes to money. I would have burned that man's life to the fucking ground. Already wasted my life might as well ruin his. Or ya know wait until he's old then have him committed steal his money and put him in the shittiest home ya can. Like they basically did to Brittany.
So in the States you don't get automatic maternity leave???? We get a year here in Canada. Even the. fathers can get it, but they have to split the time between them. Can't be let go during that time and you get paid.
I don't know why people can't just work as a damn team. Work with a guy for 20 years only for him to leave you out to dry for a quick paycheck. This is why we can't have nice things.

Saw a story about a guy who ran an investment ponzi scam, when the feds busted him, his mom, aunt and uncle, and grandma put up their homes as collateral for his 100k bail.
Because they "believed in him".
He left the country and they all lost their homes. The grandma died basically from the shock of the betrayl. Really infuriating.
sorry but that's dumb of them

@@rockingbeat Bernie was like 70 when he was caught and he didn't need to beg for a 100K bail when he owned multiple properties. If anything, his family were leeches who also got in the caught in the mix or immediately sued to make sure they kept their shit like his wife who tried to make sure all the crap they bought was hers and not touchable by the suit.

Knew a guy named Tom that worked in our company. He was the best electrician, could fix anything, could do literally any job, and had 20 years experience. All around great guy and great employee. Management had a problem that needs to be solved out of town. They chose Tom because he knows what to do and is clearly the man for the job. They send him on his way and give him a company credit card. They tell him to buy whatever he needs to get the job done. Tom leaves and comes back 2 days later. Job completed. Boom. Fired on the spot. The official story is that he bought a meal with the company credit card and they didn't authorize that. But the truth comes out later. One of the managers hated Tom because he was black. He didn't want the best employee at his company to be a black man. Now we lost an amazing worker and good friend... because of petty racism.
Horrible. Hope he found a better company.
Man what an amazing fake tale.

"There's no such thing as corporate loyalty anymore"
There never was. It's a myth that was sold to our forefathers to get them to give their lives to a company all in the promise that the company would do right by them. But corporations by the very way that they operate have always treated human beings as replaceable assets.
There was never any loyalty from corporations. If you did good work for them, they kept you around, but as soon as they decided someone else could do your job for a much lower wage you'd be gone. They'll call it downsizing, restructuring, reassessment...whatever. It's just about finding some tiny little reason that they can use to legally get rid of your ass when it's no longer convenient for the corporation.
The sad thing is that this happens to all levels of a business. Whether you're on the board of directors at the top or the lowliest key pusher at the bottom, the machine can grind you out all the same. Corporations are beasts, and loyalty has never been a real thing with them.
Some rules I learned about the workplace a long time ago:
1.) Never make friends with/date anyone you work with.
2.) When mgmt/owners make a point of telling everyone that everything's okay, RUN.
3.) Above all else, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
Fresh into the workplace at 19 I work construction, how can I “document” to cover myself if needed
@@hectorrodriguez8486 Photos?
>1.) Never make friends with/date anyone you work with.
Man, if I don't make friends with people I work with, where do I make em? Work is where I spend most of my time other than my house, where I find it difficult to meet people for some reason.
@@saphironkindris yeah that’s the thing about school, everyone switches out every year or semester and they can’t affect your money if things go sour. But work is different. It’s harder to make friends as an adult. I used to go to parties and make friends with ppl were tied to ppl I know one way or another. I have friends from hs but haven’t made new ones. If I were more social I’d prolly take my own friends and try to go to a city event (they’re everywhere and some are free like a kite parade or car show) and try to have fun with other strangers. Offer to share food and stuff. Then maybe get their socials. Finding ppl close to your own age can be tricky cuz the real world is more diverse.
I’m currently living with a guy I met at work.
Something like this happened to my stepmom. She works as a chef for a big company and has a manager who was intimidated by her because she (my stepmom) could easily have her job in a heartbeat. One day, they have to cook for a dinner party the owners wife is hosting (pre-Covid this is a few years ago). My stepmom made almost all the meals, and managed the entire thing. When the owners wife asked to speak with the chef, to thank them, my stepmoms manager took 100% credit for everything. Even though multiple people said otherwise. No one did anything because she’s been there for years and has friends in high up places. But my stepmom wouldn’t stand for it. So she got the owners wife’s email, and told her everything. Explained how her manager did nothing, yet still took credit. The owners wife replied with a thank you and the manager was written up and never taken seriously again.
pretty good ending I’m proud of her
01:22 We managers had to use Excel to write out employee schedules. This was a long painful cut & paste type of operation. The Excel schedule forms were too large to see and review all at once on screen. It was easy to mess up and not notice until the finished schedule was printed; And even then. Anyway, I took to learning advanced Excel and devised a system that enabled one to use predefined codes, or even define new codes, that were entered on a smaller and more accessible worksheet. What took before 45 minutes or more only took 10 to 15 minutes, and errors could be seen at a glance. It could even show a tally of hours schedule as one went.
I shared the my version of the schedule workbook with others at my location and showed them how to use it. The HR broad just scoffed. Then a few weeks later corporate sent out the NEW schedule workbook. Yup, mine. The HR broad had sent my version of the schedule workbook to corporate under her name.
Funny thing, only my workplace mastered using it, because I trained my co-workers. Pressed by corporate for how-tos, the HR broad tried to pick-my brain. I just played dumb. Most other locations just quit using it.
You should have waited until corporate sent someone down to check things, then made your move
Feel that psin
Too bad they didn’t ask “ her “ to go around and teach it , then she’d have to blow her cover because you’d have to be the one going and teaching it ! lol i would’ve most definitely gone in and told them that she is the one taking credit for something that she had zero time or effort in creating and she doesn’t deserve any of the “ atta boy “ for . Pretty sure she met her karma !!!
I am a gay male. We’ll get to why I explained that later. I had a female co worker who I was making friends with. She was talking about her boyfriend. I asked if I could see a pic. I commented “Girl he’s hot! Good job!”
She then began acting distant and weird. I didn’t understand why.
But I assumed she was having problems outside of work and I gave her space. I get called into a conference room with two managers. I was reported by a female claiming that I quote “made her uncomfortable.” I asked what they said. They wouldn’t tell me what this person said. They then interrogated me like police claiming I remembered what I said. I don’t because you won’t tell me anything. I decided to walk out and quit. If someone’s gonna tell on me but management won’t tell me anything I’m not working there. Fast forward a month later, I’m at my new job. Old co worker runs into me there and told me that the girl who reported was the work friend I made. She falsely reported me saying that I was making comments about wanting to rape her boyfriend in her sleep because she “knew that I was gonna try to steal her boyfriend.” And she said all that stuff to basically get rid of me. What angers me the most is the old co worker told me she was laughing about it. She reported her though after recording it on her phone and she was fired.
Thats so awful. So sorry that happened to you.
To the kid that toiled twenty years in the family business. Rob your family of the money from the sale. And go all Menendez brothers on both of your parents. Disappear into the night. The end.
For real; that father beat to pulp would constitute a happy ending at this point.
That sounds like a supervillain origin story
Well i wouldn't go THAT far xD, but i would tell my father off, break a whole bunch of his shit, and then cut all contact, if he even needs help in life ill tell him to use all the money and time he stole from me.
Yes.
This is just too painful to listen to all the way through. I worked 16 years for a very honorable publisher and then had my own printing business for 21 years. This was all without backstabbing. I miss those days. Two of my employees even gave me gifts when they moved away. My customers were great too. All business people are not scoundrels or backstabbers.
As a manger and head of a department. It’s sad to hear these experiences. Family always comes first.
Not when / if they’re scamming , taking the credit for or not doing you right . Families are only families by the blood they share . Some family members are more harmful than helpful and can be the most toxic person in your existence and we’re not supposed to be treated wrong , like shit , scammed , or any other way but with the utmost respect, treated fairly and compensated property and not supposed to take any crap from them because they’re shitty human & family member . There’s not enough love in the world to be done wrong even if they’re family . Nope

That dad who essentially threw their kid under the bus is the literal definition of boomer logic:
“I worked my ass off for everything, while being paid pennies, and got everything. Even though times have changed, if you do the same as me, while I enjoy the luxuries provided to me by the economy that was built just for me, you CAN make it too.”
Later.
“Oh, sorry, you should’ve worked harder. Maybe if you were smarter or understood hard work better you’d be as successful as I am. Be glad you even had a job. I used to work for pennies you know, and still didn’t complain.”
Exactly. This is honestly the best example of what boomers, millionaires and billionaires do to the whole world. Can't wait for us to start burning them.
Not boomer logic, both of you are just sad. That father is a sociopath. Most humans don't trash on their families like that dude did. Both of you are ageist. I feel sad for your spawn who will treat you as you are treating the previous generations.

23:40 The guy in this story should consider the business split a blessing in disguise. Not only did his "best friend" reveal his true nature early on in their business careers (as opposed to late like in the father/son story), but he made the mistake of firing this excellent businessman who was the carry of his business.
Were I this guy that was fired, I would start again and create a competing business in the same areas and *utterly crush* the so called "best friend's" business.
He (the one fired) was clearly the reason behind the success, so I have no doubt that he would be able to not only replicate the success in a new venture, but easily surpass his "best friend." It would be poetic justice.
Was in sales.
Found out one of our 'greeters' was hiding leads, asking them to come later in the night when sales guys weren't working, sell them himself and pocket the commission.
The sales team was Infuriated when we inevitably found out.
He wasn't very bright.
Sounds like he gave himself a promotion
The father story: that man needs to cut that person out of their life for good. He needs to never speak to them again, block him everywhere. I feel so sorry for that OP. His father ruined his life. He is probably so tired abd crushed at this point that I don’t know if he can start over again at 32, when people start being more secure in their jpb, start buying houses, getting married etc. Never do this, never work for others under the promise that in years you’ll get your reward somehow. I don’t blame him because that was his dad.
8:56 This isn't simply fked up. I believe this is criminal embezzlement...at the least.
Dude tried to sell us drugs. I let someone know. He immediately claimed I was a cocaine addict and I was the one trying to sell.
when i was little, my dad owed a restaurant. he gave 500 dollars to some dude who committed check fraud after taking about 20k from a really nice old woman and about 50k total from other people. he left the country, leaving 3 kids and his wife behind. i feel super bad for the old lady because she got arrested because the 20k he took was in her name.
The first story is one of those where I really hope karma catches up to them. The poor lady.
My dad created one of the calibrations departments at a very large biomedical company in the US, along with his boss and a few others.
After over a decade of overworking him, denying payraises, etc... they laid him off, citing dissolvement of the department... then years later, emailed him to come back as a no-benefits, fixed pay rate, short-term contractor, in the same position he created. He decided to see where it would go, but never heard back when he responded.
Not a big business, but I was an intern for a Chamber of Commerce in my town for a couple of months. I helped making new member posts, filming and photographing ribbon cuttings, ect. Well a day or two after I helped with this festival that happened to be super popular in my town, I asked my boss for a raise (Like a dollar or 2 more than what I was already making) or some more hours. Well she then decided to tell me that I wouldn't reach my full potential if I continued working for her, so she basically fired me. Thanks a lot Susan...
That’s a mercy firing. She couldn’t give you a raise even though she knew you deserved it, so maybe she wanted you to move on to something better?
My father spent 10 years building his consulting business and partnered with a guy he worked with in the government. .
He was embezzling funds to find his lavish life and we didn't find out until the Aussie tax department called us after he was audited. Nothing happened to him but some fines. It wassnt multi millions or anything just about 250k in 1998 money. So probably around a million today.
Still my dad got the call while we were away on Xmas holidays. Needless to say he spent the next 4 days cutting him out of the business and talking to lawyers. The tax department were owed money by the company that this guy had not been paying ...so it was a big fight.
This guy was like family to us....I remember my father being more dissapointed then angry. He had to start all over again with this hanging over his head.
Dad did end up becoming a success on his own and we work together in the family business to this day so it ended well but it was just when my father was seeing some success. He held a lot of hate for him for a few years. Lost all his clients. Basically he eventually shut it down and started a new with a new business name
i was the salesman at a phone retailer. The regional manager promised me a promotion if i kept my sales up. i did that and also trained new recruits to match my sales numbers everyone loved me and trusted me as their leader. The regional manager went back on our deal and instead promoted someone who is way younger than me. I told them theyre peices of shits and left right away. The word got around to all my trainees and they didnt want to work for this young kid. They ALL quit. 3 months later the company closes down in our state with negative revenue. I took a picture of the now empty space that used to be their store. Sent it to the regional manager saying "This is what happens when you dont recognize greatness"
Brings me back to my own incident:
Just got out of 6 year service and started working at a postal warehouse.
Was and still am in the mindset of just get the job done right and quickly.
This allowed me to learn almost every role needed to basically run an entire section and train others to do the same.
Management kept encouraging me to “apply for this position because you’d be great!”
I would, but then get notified someone else had gotten the position.
I did this twice before finally just saying “I’m sorry, but I can’t continue to work here,” after I had been informed another person had gotten another position I had applied for.”, and it was none other than another co-worker who I had to convince that working well and keeping a positive attitude is worth it…
Found out from another manager that once I walked away so did 3 others in that area because they really preferred my style of getting things done. With them being severely short staffed and the newly promoted not able to keep up that positive attitude, they quickly fell behind with orders. Costing them approximately 350k a month, for about 4 months till HQ replaced the newly promoted and operations manager who had become great friends leading up to the promotion…
I opened a roofing company. I was hiring and growing like crazy. I had 10 full time employees and dozens of subs on year 3 and was on track to do about $5million. I had a program in place to hire convicts from a halfway house.
While on work trip/vacation in Denver my company card was declined... I was shocked. I called the bank and found I had a balance of like -$30. I had over $40k earlier that day. Found out my office manager had robbed me blind while I was out. Bank said there was nothing they could do about it. He walked Scott free.
Edit; Yes I called the police. They said there's nothing they can do about it because it was a civil matter. I called attorneys and they said there's nothing they could do about it because his name was on the business account as well as mine. I put his name on the business account so he could write checks to subcontractors or employees while I was out of town or out of the office.
I got stabbed. At the former place of work all the shopping carts have indicators saying "Don't put kid in cart." I found a lady who had put her two kids in a cart and they where jumping up and down making the metal cart bounce. I asked the lady if she would please remove the kids from the cart; she complies but tells me I'll regret it. Next week my head cashier escorts me to HR and has me laid off for unprofessional attitude. I think it's worth mentioning when I was originally hired the policy was to start new cashiers at $12/hour and a few months later it was changed to California Minimum Wage (Found out in the gossip)

I'm adding two more axioms to my list of job axioms:
*BWP: Boobytrap Where Possible.* _Make it so things go to you-know-where if they let you go._ Not the same as Make Yourself Indispensable (MYI). MYI is to make it hard for them to get rid of you. BWP is to have things just fall apart if they do get rid of you.
*ALL: Always Locked and Loaded.* _Always searching out ways for retribution against them if needed._ Example: The lady at 11:41 should have had, at a minimum, documents ready to go reporting her boss and the firm to the IRS and state tax authorities, etc. She also should have had documents ready to for her to file a criminal case against the boss for embezzlement. Once she was out, it was too late.
@3:30 I used to do phone sales at Gateway. It was shocking the number of salesmen that got "The Presidents Award" for sales, and then were walked out of the building two weeks later once their scam was figured out. Commissioned sales is like Casinos, the only way to beat the house is to cheat.
Not me but my wife. She began working as a phlebotomist at the local hospital. for the first three months of training she scored average to high on all of her tasks and got along well with her coworkers. We both thought she was well on her way to the promised $30 an hour in approximately two years.
At the three month mark her department was taking a lunch break. A discussion of religion came up and all but my wife were members of various evangelical churches. At one point my wife mentions she is Mormon and she does things a little differently but it's pretty much the same. The coworkers acted surprised for a moment then the conversation shifted and she didn't think much of it.
Her next evaluation scored below average and the co workers weren't as nice to her. The evaluation after that was even more below average and the co workers became more and more distant. She couldn't figure out why her scores were dropping or why these friendly people were giving her the cold shoulder. Within a month she was fired for poor performance reviews.
Apparently we are not out of the 19th century yet where it's ok to backstab someone for not being the correct religion. It all started after the discussion of religion but there was no way for her to prove that conversation ever took place.
Former co-worker worked at Nokia as a software engineer. Busted his ass to make "architect" (i.e very senior engineer) and continued to do so. Soon after a very important client demanded Nokia have an "architect" immediately do a deep analysis of the product code base because of a very minor issue, but all the "architects" had just gone on holiday. He, being just about to leave on holiday with his family agrees to come in and spend the next three weeks carrying out this deep analysis. Gets a personal thankyou note from one step below the CEO.
Come the merger with Alcatel-Lucent and they need to reduce headcount. To make things fair the decision on who's to be let go is done by people who don't know them to mitigate potential bias. One "architect" from that group was to be let go and not having a clue about who's done what and worked how hard the person tasked with the decision just chooses for the most junior one, my former co-worker.

My humble opinion. If you get a better job offer, take it. If you tell your employer and they convince you to stay by offering the same thing as the competition, they will immediately start looking for your replacement whom they can pay less. Don't do them any favors, they wouldn't do the same for you

I wrote distribution software for our company in the UK. We had a very tricky issue with a distributor that we worked with. My boss and I visit the distributor, and we find that there was an issue with the contract they were on with our company, and rather than fix the contract, we had to figure out a way to make it work for the distributor on the current contract. We spent 6ish months coming up with a solution and implementing it so everyone is happy.
3 times during this process, someone in the company called me up for a casual chat to find out how the job was going, and I just let him know thinking nothing of it.
I find out later, that he's been reporting back to head office and claiming all responsibility for the project. He got a pay rise and a bonus for just making 3 phone calls to me :|

I have a coworker who tried to backstab me for a promotion. We had an opening for a manager position open up that I applied for. My manager at the time told me that I wasn't there yet and we made a game plan to get me there. Well, unbeknownst to me my coworker ran to our manager and told her things about me like how I was always on my cell phone (I'm not, but she is), how I never answer phone calls (I'm the only one who does), and that I push new accounts on to her (she'd only been there 6 months and was begging to open the new accounts so I let her take them). I found out about this from my regional manager when I met with her when she told me I got the position and my coworker was acting pissy. Turned out she wanted the position too and decided to try and sabotage me so she'd look like the better candidate. I've worked with her almost 3 years now and I keep her at an arms length.
some of these stories havd made me jaded in a sense. i know the world is cruel and a lot of people are out for themselves. thats why if i ever work anywhere and my work could be stolen im going to do that white name invislble trick. make sure in some way shape or form me and me alone has the info to prove my work is my work. Like how some people who code things make a line of code that will break if you dont do this or that at this time. Thats what i would do.

My husband was a delivery driver for a successful HVAC and lighting company in northern Georgia. Over the course of 10 years they fired or otherwise lost 3 other drivers, leaving him as the only driver, essentially doing the work of 4 people. When Obama was elected President, the owner of the company used this as an excuse not to give him or the other employees even a cost of living raise for the entire 8 years he was President. My husband was entitled to 3 weeks vacation when he hit 10 years, and when he went to schedule his vacation time for the year, they suddenly produced an amendment to the employee handbook stating that 3 weeks vacation had been changed to 15 years instead of 10, but lying and saying he’d been notified of this prior. When he called me to tell me what they did to him, I told him to quit on the spot. He did. They then stabbed him further in the back by not reimbursing him for the 2 weeks paid vacation he’d already taken that year. I called the Georgia department of labor and was told it was all perfectly legal.
Never take on extra work without getting extra pay. Get it in writing, then perform the work.

I sold a restaurant to a guy who had made million in the telephone industry. He was a total slime ball but he was dumb enough to buy a restaurant so that was at least good for me.
He had started his company with his best friend from his youth. They would purchase telephone lines from the local phone company then “rent” those lines to illegal immigrants since they could never be on record to even have a phone bill. The business went nuts. They became millionaires within a year.
Fast forward a few years and Irving finds out that the government was changing the loophole that made their business possible.
He doesn’t say a word about it to his best friend. Instead he goes to him and says he wants to retire and offers to sell his friend his half of the business. The guy jumps all over the offer. He puts everything he owns up as collateral for the loans to buy the business. The deal goes through then the law gets changed.
That guy ruined his best friend financially. They could have sold to someone else or just liquidated everything and both been wealthy for generations. Instead he chose to fuck over his friend.
Happened to one of relatives who worked for his friend's startup for lower pay.. Worked his a*s off to set up and start the plant(12-14 hrs a day for 7 days a week for about an year) but when the time came to senior manager's position to be filled(which my relative was promised). owner hired a new guy for the position... Imagine the rage...

Early '90s finished apprenticeship, but not offered full job at end - they hired two people to do what I did; then went to job in vineyard - fired me and had two replace me; worked in different schools in Taiwan - fired and most places hired two to replace me; worked in warehousing and delivery, where 'manager' would set me u to fail on daily basis, then call me stupid, so I told him if he calls me stupid again I'd kill him where he stands, then tells the boss I am bullying him for saying that, so told boss what he was doing, with other witnesses, but boss still said I was bullying him (good news was that after I left the company went under big time); another delivery company, worked there for four years, fired, and replaced me with two; the pattern continues to this day. "You're a fool!" No, I just have a personal work ethic which almost no-one else I know has. Arrogant? No, just facts. I work for a reason most don't like or cannot sustain in themselves, even wife is @#$&* at me for my attitude towards work. Wish I could get payback, but no-one thinks I am worth it. LOL
You know what they say, "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
dont know if this counts but when i started my first job within 6 months was promised a supervisor role signed the contract and everything. then the day of it meant to happen found out they gave it to a guy who was completely useless at the job and the reason they gave it to him was because they wanted someone older as the people at the work place who have been there 200 odd years wouldnt listen to a 18 year old worst part is the guy who got the job was 19 he was 1 week older than me
First story, already pissed off. Poor girl didn’t deserve that. Though I’m positive she went someplace else and probably is way more appreciated
Not a business person but I am a freelance writer. When I was still new to the writing world, there was someone I met who was a “producer.” Let's call her Molly. She talked a good game. Being a naive early 20 something with no business sense at all, it wasn't hard for her to get into believe that she could help me get my work produced into a feature film.
After a while the mask started to slip. There was even basic common knowledge things that I knew, that she didn't. For someone who claimed to have a strong theater background, she didn't even know the difference between a soliloquy and an aside. Even 10th grade literature students know that. To make an already long story much shorter, Molly stole my writing which constitutes theft of intellectual property. She plagiarized it and committed copyright infringement. I wouldn't have even found out if she wasn't so damn sloppy. She was all about emails and conference calls. This was before zoom. I got copied on one of the email that I read the entire message thread. Right when I was about to bust her and out her as a lying grifter with zero skills or talent, she called me up flipping out because the director of “our” movie had quit. She had been telling me two different stories. In reality, her plans were to turn it into her a little vanity project: written, produced and starring her. It's totally worth pointing out, Molly cannot act to save her life.
I informed I had a boatload of evidence against her and was well within my rights to post everything all over social media and there wasn't a legal leg for her to stand on. She was shaking in her shoes. I told her to turn into a ghost or I would expose her for the lying, untalented fraud that she is. The director later passed away and she tried to make that all about her. That's a different story though.
This is why I resent being asked for references. I have worked for so many lowlife scumbags... Not only did I have to leave the positions to save myself, but if I even whisper a bad word about a former employer, I am often seen as the problem.
It hurts far more when what you thought was your best friend does it. But, I learned my painful lesson. There will be no more friends after that horrible betrayal, then getting painfully abandoned. Friends are nothing but a low level enemy in disguise. They will hurt you, it is just a question of when.
17:30 I sense that dad is soon going to be involved in a hunting accident.
From what I know, the 👨🏼🚒 guys who started Firehouse Subs started by going to Larry's Giant Subs. They acted like they wanted a new contract, Larry's restaurant franchise. The execs, staff taught them, showed them how to run a sub shop-small business. Vendors, locations etc 🗂. The Fire House guys backed out at the last second & left Larry's to form Firehouse Subs chain. A real scum bag move. They act like they support fire depts, cops, 🚑 but the company owners are 2 faced jerks.
Happens all to often and eventually karma steps in and they’re left standing scratching their heads like “ what the fuck just happened “ knowing that karma finally caught up with them .
I wonder how many of these OPs were actually big slackers and lied about how much they were doing or at least reframed everything to make themselves the victim.
Im getting depressed just hearing from these stories. Im not even halfway done
This lightweight reminds me of the book "the wisdom of psychopaths," By Kevin Dutton
23:50 Delete/wipe the social media accounts, and just say financial or worker issues. If society is built upon pettiness and greed but hidden behind an illusionary justice, then life's just trying to make you like it or flirt with it.
All jokes aside, I would delete or wipe the accounts (your effort that you won't get a penny for)
not much of a backstab but this business woman simply just went MIA on my mom after a year of creating a business, when my mom finally contacted her, she acted as if nothing happened.
At Camp Pendleton Fire around 1987, we had an inspector that scammed his way to chief by reporting the actual chief for not being present, he was going through a divorce and forgot to fill out paperwork, they both had tenure so essentially the chief became the inspector. This guy would write the truth for recommendations then lie when other departments called could never file an EEO on him because he was a piece of shit to everyone, he died last year and I am not sorry.
All these stories are sad & wildly insane. 😖 I have my own sob story. 💢
At 1:33 I expected a garden variety #metoo but this was also pretty bad.
Always document, never take the counter offer, never work for no pay (either extra work or more hrs) esp as salary and never ever work for a family business esp if youre family. Family is worthless and means nothing when it comes to money. I would have burned that man's life to the fucking ground. Already wasted my life might as well ruin his. Or ya know wait until he's old then have him committed steal his money and put him in the shittiest home ya can. Like they basically did to Brittany.
if you're going to tell a story, it's your responsibility to share all the necessary details
lol my cynical ass was expecting a backstab from the secretary cos no one is that nice
27:00 was basically a power move.
So in the States you don't get automatic maternity leave???? We get a year here in Canada. Even the. fathers can get it, but they have to split the time between them. Can't be let go during that time and you get paid.
That guy that sold the family business tho... Some people shouldn't have teeth.
This makes me want to Stay as a blue collar worker, fuck office politics
I don't know why people can't just work as a damn team. Work with a guy for 20 years only for him to leave you out to dry for a quick paycheck. This is why we can't have nice things.
The first one is just depressing
Can't trust anyone you work with I guess.
I kind of have this motto that I've come to pass on, and it's true because there's only 1 heart that I can truly know. I've told many people, " I can count the people I trust on 1 hand ", then I show them my closed fist, " and I do it just like this."
Because: " Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? " I do.
L. L.
4:40 nice
I got did this way called wage and hour board when I was made aware of the theft. I got label to the other employees as the druggie that they tried to help and they knew the laws better than me. They are still doing the same thing to a good guy rn but I can't tell him because of a nda
There're some crummy people out there SMFH
Greed is the root of all evil, sad seeing this messed up stuff happen all because of green paper 😕
UA-cam is the biggest backstabber
First one is infuriating and probably illegal
I had hoped there would be more karma stories.
Countries like...Guam. Ummmm, that's the United States buddy......
Gotta be the McDonalds one right?
7:39 sue
He’s still a legal citizen and corporations are required to pay wages, when the judge learns op has no power possible to pay the man he’ll ask the company why they haven’t payed him and why they’re blaming op.
No never help anyone.
15:30 yes thanks captain obvious
Man some bosses suck .
1st one not the idiot. At all. Whatsoever.
Any Sydney Watson Fans here?
Or Hbomberguy Fans?

@@dbl3323 Oh, hey!
Of who are you a Fan of?
@@dbl3323 I mean, you are probably an Uchia Fan,
but aside from that?
@@slevinchannel7589 meh, I love naruto and I watch Sydney

Good, what about the One and Only, the Legend, 'Hbomberguy'? I mean, he's a Legend, so i have no more to say than that. But on a whole other Note: Viced Rhino asks really good Questions about Religion, so i like him for making me Think.
