'He was nothing but polite to you': Gym goer gets told off by woman using a machine he's patiently waiting for, she turns to staff members who support him

Gym etiquette. Ever heard of it? This woman clearly hasn't. One person shared a 'Gym Karen' story to Reddit after it unfolded positively, in his favor. He explained how he was down to his last exercise, and was waiting patiently next to a machine that was occupied by a woman who was notorious for being entitled. He had his earphones in, and wasn't directly facing her. She still got annoyed, and confronted him, asking him what he was doing. He replied that he was waiting for the machine, to whic…

'This is literally hundreds of different customers orders': Nightmare boss tells factory worker to only run machines, worker decides to stop shipping orders for a whole week

This is such a satisfying story (for workers, not bosses). One employee shared this story from a company they used to love, but which quickly went sour after a merger . Despite what managers or HR want to tell you, mergers aren't often positive developments for the current employees. U/allgoodnamestaken98 writes that at the factory they were working at, a merger caused a great workplace to tank, all because three different managers were each trying to prove they were the best. This boss told hi…

‘No more overtime; Ok, boss': Machines overheat and shut down after delivery driver complies with demanding supervisor's request to ‘stop taking overtime’, leading to over $10,000 in damages

‘No more overtime; Ok, boss': Machines overheat and shut down after demanding supervisor instructs delivery driver to ‘stop taking overtime’, leading to over $10,000 in damages

When complying with your boss's request ends up costing the company tens of thousands of dollars, be ready to get fired… unless you have receipts. Oftentimes, your boss has their head up in the clouds and doesn't know how things work down on the ground. There is only so much you can tolerate before you begin to maliciously comply with their recurring, ridiculous demands. This being said, you don't always know what your boss is going to stipulate, so at times, you will have to be flexible with s…

'Not a single pair of glasses were made with the correct prescription': Factory worker tells boss machines need to be recalibrated, boss ignores him and leaves for two weeks

'Not a single pair of glasses were made with the correct prescription': Factory worker tells boss machines need to be recalibrated, boss ignores him and leaves for two weeks

When the boss was out for two weeks, this company didn't make a single pair of glasses the right way. It all could have been avoided if this supervisor would just listen to his employees! Even though c-suite executives make the big bucks, they're rarely as in tune with the company as other employees. Especially in a place like a factory , the employee who works on the machines each day knows way more about the current state of things than a supervisor who lounges in a room alone all day. Even s…

'The line stops for a full 20 minutes': Freshly promoted new boss thinks he knows better than experienced machinist, predictable happens

Every job has its quirks, and workers usually have their own adapted processes to deal with these in efficient and effective ways. Sure, sometimes these might cut too many corners and need reeling in by management, but the worst thing a new manager can do is assume that they know a better way of doing things. See, usually, these adapted processes are developed by workers over an extended period of time through experimentation and process of elimination in order to streamline their tasks and rem…

'You don't understand business' : Employee reports mechanical manufacturing problems, gets ignored by terrible boss, leading to malicious compliance and loss of $300,000 in company profits

'You don't understand business' : Employee reports mechanical manufacturing problems, gets ignored by terrible boss, leading to malicious compliance and loss of $300,000 in company profits

The person with the most mechanical knowledge is usually the person who is running the machine, but this boss didn't seem to think so. What led to this mess was the fact that this same boss refused to do regular maintenance on the (expensive) machine, so it began breaking down, as expected. An employee tentatively approached him, explaining that the company was going to lose a lot of money if they didn't shut it off in order to fix it. This advice fell on deaf ears.

Cabinet installers' viral screw-up demonstrates the extreme power of MRI magnets in the worst way

One guy's massive MRI goof is a window into curiosity and science. This video, shared by ericmartinmoney, is truly enlightening. It answers an age-old question, which surely terrifies all of us when we go in to get an MRI. The technician will ask if you're wearing anything metal, because the MRI is literally a giant magnet . You then take off your earrings or belt, and take a peaceful rest inside the machine as it makes noises at concert volume. But you never actually get to find out how powerf…

Oscillating Fan Becomes Bubble Machine With Wonderfully Dumb Ingenuity

Just in case anyone wants to engineer their own semi-functional bubble machine, all it takes is a fan, a coat hanger, an O-ring, some string, a cinder block, and something to strap it all together. It's one of those solid reminders that people can do literally anything they want to with their free time. But hey, it's not like we've engineered our own bubble machine, so points to this person for figuring it out.
