How do you or did you get back at your job?

[Krieger]

I work at a lame grocery store that will remain nameless and all the higher up managers are on a power trip ass clowns that think they're above you because they're one step below corporate positions. But like a few months ago I wrote on the bathroom stalls some ridiculous things like "James is bulimic" , "Annette wears wigs", "Large Marge". So like a week ago I heard during a conversation from one of the dept managers saying about how funny it was that someone wrote those things on the wall not knowing it was me, the gratification I felt made my day.

For those of you that have shit jobs and hate your managers what have you done out of spite.

[Slumbag]

Robbed the shit out of them over a three year period.

Not this job, but the last one. Made out like a fuckin' bandit

[PapaBear]

I usually just say very insulting things directly to my bosses that get everyone to laugh at them to their faces. Example: When a former boss (who is short and annoying) would do something, I'd say "I didnt' know midgets could do that". Or, when the owner talks about his extremely expensive remote controlled cars, I say something like "When you and your friends play with your toy cars, do your mommies bring you Kool Aid and snacks?" It takes a delicate balance of wit, timing, confidence, and knowing your value as an employee.

[boosterp]

I only stole office supplies, I suck. Although, in an educational program I designed I did describe part of their computerized medical record system as being held together by "the equivalent of computer duct tape." It got laughs but was cut out before the first class taught. I also had some med students that I told them this (hospital) will be one of the most confusing places to work thanks to the politics going on.

[biggestmexi]

I used to work at restaurants.

You figure it out.

[jforce]

Worked extra hard, excelled at my craft, quit when they needed me most, and then started anew and watched that business slowly crumble without an ounce of spite.

Actually, it's still crumbling and I feel bad for all the people working at the place that are going to lose their jobs in the next year.

Think I missed the point.

[Mullenax]

When I was a pizza driver things would be really slow, no tips, no deliveries, managers would come up with all kinds of weird gross cleaning duties instead of letting people go. All of my managers were ugly dumb fucks who reinforced all these stupid corporate bylaws and made crappy jokes with greasy faces.
So I:
* made ninja stars, swords, and special decorative pizzas just to waste food (like an island in an ocean with a palm tree, except out of olives and banana peppers) and screw inventory
* ruined laundry loads of uniforms with bleach
* made a put-put course out of breadstick boxes and played mini-golf in the back.

...I was promoted after two months.

Given where you are currently sitting, if you get caught isn't there a good chance we'll have to start calling you Lefty?

[west milly Tom]

My job is good to me. And if I have a problem with any of the bosses I tell them to their faces. That is gratifying, knowing that you stood your ground. Also, I'm the union safety committee man so do the math.

[Furtherman]

Wow, a lot of great examples of American working pride here.

I have never, nor would ever, "get back" at a job I was hired to do. If I didn't like it, I'd leave, with two weeks notice.

Like a gentleman.

[utriculus!]

When I worked at CVS in high school I stole at least 100$ a week in cigarettes, gameboy games, blank CDs, and food.

Werd.

I have always been a huge fan of busting your boss's balls. I think it subconsciously makes him see you as a peer.

Can't be angry while you do it though. That would be suicide.

[Freitag]

Fridays - someone knew they were being let go, so they tossed a frozen piece of fish behind the huge safe in the manager's office.

No one knew where the source of the smell was until it was too late.

By then, the entire safe had to be professionally removed, cleaned, and then replaced in position.

I don't understand people like you. How does defiling someone's food make your job better? It's vile.

in his defense, what makes it alright for a patron to make a waitress cry and for them to be a dickhead about their food?

[TooLowBrow]

i only put in about 30%

when posting i only give 25%

[CountryBob]

I worked as a bagger at a grocery store when i was 17. We would take the groceries out to the customer's car and load them. After returning back to the store I heard the voice of the last customer complaining about my service. He said that I had smashed his milk, busted bottels of other goods and stomped on other things. The manager and I went to this dude's truck and I couldnt believe my eyes. There was all of his groceries smashed just like he said. But I didnt do it. I didnt know what this guy's problem was and why he would do that. I wasnt going to put up with this shit and after denying the accusations for about 20 times, the customer stuck his finger in my face. Oh no you didnt. I went nuts and knocked that bastard completely out with one punch. The manager grabbed me and I punched him in the face. (Sometimes I just see red and dont know what is going to happen). I stormed in the store and walked to the back - while pulling everything i could get my hands on - into the floor. Glass was breaking and cans were rolling down every aisle i went. The whole store was quiet and watching my every move. i went to clock out and ripped the timeclock off the wall and threw it down the produce aisle. i immediately left and laughed all the way. (I had to deal with anger management later in life but fuck that place). I never heard a word from anyone about me assaulting 2 people - got off scott free.

I'm sorry but that's not a defense. People are dickheads every day. That's life. NOTHING makes it OK to put bodily fluids in people's food.

[KingModem]

Show up early and leave late. Squeeze them for overtime, and they will get in big trouble, but wont even realize until it is too late.

my guess is he is lying i worked as a cook for about 5 years and never saw anyone do anything to a persons food

If Ryan Reynolds has taught me anything, it's never fuck with people that handle your food.

A chick told me that she would put Visene eye drops in some peoples drinks just to make them have terrible shits. If it really does work - she is evil.

Sounds like you probably smashed all of his groceries like the guy said.

He could be talking about any number of things other than defiling someone's food. I work in the restaurant business and the first thing that came to mind when I read that wasn't someone's food getting defiled. I could be wrong though.

When I was in high school I was an assistant manager at a smoothie shop. For one summer (and the majority of the weekends during the school year) we would gather up some friends at night and use my key to get into the store. We would then spend five or six hours smoking pot in the freezer, using the blenders and supplies and cheap booze to make mixed drinks and eventually tearing into the Terra Chips and Clif Bars. They never really did anything wrong to me (in fact they treated pretty well), so I can't really qualify it as "getting back". It had more to do with me being a selfish seventeen year old prick.

What came to mind was good bottles of wine, free drinks for himself and friends, taking food home, that kind of stuff.

Two coworkers and I wrote this program that skimmed the rounded off fractions of pennies into an account we set up. Then we kicked the shit out of a printer while listening to the Ghetto Boyz

Furtherman and Aggie are class personified. I posted my brief thoughts in purgatory. No one over the age of 21 should be spitting in anyones food or writing on company bathroom walls. As Aggie said, how is that making your job or life any better? She is right, we all deal with our share of jerks at our jobs and in everyday life, but that doesn't give us the green light to go around punching clients/customers in the face because they looked at us the wrong way. If you're a waitor caught defiling someone's food, you should be fired, it's disgusting, plain and simple.

That is a health hazard, the person could of had charges pressed if they ever found out who did it.

Anger management classes were one solution, geez.

In my defense When I did take supplies it was because we had to burn off extra grant money and limited what we could spend it on. This was my little way of collecting something for the lack of full pay because of grant limitations in salary, etc. The rest of my post was true to the place, think government.

[Freitag]

When I waited tables, I never ever saw anyone mess with people's food, nor did I do it myself. 99% percent of problems in a restaurant can be solved with one phrase - a sincere "I'm sorry".

I worked in a terrible restaurant with terrible clientele and I only saw one server cry - and that's because she lost her job because she didn't card a secret shopper.

Most of the battles in a restaurant are staff vs. management, not staff vs. customers.

[El Mudo]

For my part, the last year and a half of my grocery job, I just didn't care any more. I hated my job, and would just leave early (which hurt ME and not the company).

I gave them close to 10 years of busting my ass every day with no complaints and they just kept going further and further out of their way to make my job harder every single day. There was only so much I could take.

[Chip196]

I've started working from home a lot. No one keeps track of me or my time. I guess I can't call it "getting back" though because I am more productive from home than when in the office. I only go in to the main office once or twice a week now. Saves a lot of money in train fare.

[Fezticle98]

Then what happened...?

Well, it's a case of what happened before. Then about what happened after.

He left out the part about shoving his hand in the meat slicer and getting all bloodied up. Later, he came out of retirement for a wrestling match against the Ayatollah.
