5 Horrific Work Stories That Will Make You Feel Better About Your Day

Do you hate your job? It’s easy to feel bummed when you’re caught in the 9-to-5 lifestyle.

Your boss is awful, your employees are lazy, and your clients are just the worst. But there are upsides. You get a steady paycheck and are able to have a roof over your head.

Sometimes, you hear stories that make you feel better about your situation.

Sitting in a cubicle is much better than scrubbing poo off of toilets. And at least you’re getting paid well to hear a customer screaming at you.

Here are 5 work stories that are truly horrifying and will make you feel better about your job.

1. Workplace Abuse to Get Your Attention

This story is the centerpiece of workplace abuse and how to not treat your employees.

A woman states her boss never knew her name. To get her attention, the boss would throw things at the employee. She would throw anything from pens to even staplers.

2. Why Is Your Job So Poor?

This one employee recalls his former job was so poor, they couldn’t even afford toilet paper. The employee would have to buy toilet paper for the company.

If the job wasn’t making a lot of money, neither was the employee. Who knows if he could afford toilet paper for his own house (if he could even afford to have a roof over his head).

3. Crazy Boss On Overdrive

Does your boss throw temper tantrums? Probably not like this guy’s boss. It’s one thing if your boss gets mad when he misses a sale or does badly on his ROI.

But throws violent tantrums when the restaurant messes up his order?

Apparently, this boss would throw food at employees when the restaurant didn’t get his order right.

4. Always Hire the Right Executives

What happens when you reach the top of a company, only to get laid off because your company got a new owner? This is what happened to this employee.

This employee worked hard to reach the top of the company. Unfortunately, the original owner sold the company to someone else. This new owner brought their own executive staff and laid off the original staff.

5. Keep Your Hands to Yourself

Have you ever had a boss put their hands on you? That’s what happened to one woman.

She was in a meeting at her job. She was giving a presentation when she was briefly sidetracked. Her boss grabbed her ponytail to look back at the screen.

This is why a background check with a police clearance certificate should be provided to employees as it is to employers.

After These Work Stories, Do You Appreciate Your Job?

Your job may suck, but it’s worth sticking around as long as the company and your boss are fair. But not all jobs have moralities. These work stories should inspire you to appreciate your fair job or to shop around for a new job.

You shouldn’t have to suffer every day because your job sucks.
