A good workplace atmosphere is truly a blessing. Cozy headquarters, friendly coworkers, and tolerant management are the stuff dreams are made of. It’s no surprise we want more than just a paycheck from a job – we spend more than half of our day in the office.
Sadly, we often hear more workplace horror than success stories. It’s 2023 and Amazon still hasn’t normalized bathroom breaks for their workers. This selection of ridiculous rules from horrible bosses and management is an ode to the exploited and the unappreciated. So upvote the notes you find the most absurd and let us know in the comments if you have a story about an entitled boss.

#65 Our Boss Made Us Sign This And Put It In Our File
She even told us that we can't speak outside of work either. I'm pretty sure this is illegal. She can't tell us what we can or can't say. She also made an idiot of herself, accusing us of starting rumors when it was actually her and another supervisor who misinterpreted something they overheard. They created this weird story without actually going to the source and clarifying. She also mostly complained about her hard job and all the extra hours she had to work. She makes nearly 100k a year. We get less than half of that even though we are all college-educated and board-certified.

#78 Ridiculous Time-Off Policy. Maybe I’m Wrong, But This Includes Taking Just One Day Off. A 90-Day Notice For One Day?

#79 Forced Loyalty Program
The restaurant I work at is forcing servers to get loyalty program sign-ups. Servers get paid $2 an hour, and this restaurant heavily relies on lifetime servers to basically run the place. FOH and BOH are constantly understaffed. We're all just sick of it. This is the final cherry on top for some of us. Any ideas on how to handle this?
