What shocked me most about story 4 is that the Owner From Hell actually learned and changed his ways.

[silverflight]

Story 2: You're only allowed to dock the time the person as late. Otherwise, it's wage theft.

[randycarter]

Moral of the story: Don't tell people to call the cops when you're the one breaking laws.

[cparle]

So difficult for people to not double down when they're shown to be wrong. Amazed the boss swallowed his pride and tried to learn and help.

[DarkEinherjar]

The fact that the boss in the second story retaliated and got OP fired afterwards just cements the fact that some people just don't belong in positions of power.

[Kualinar]

#4 At least, boss learned something about his business and how it actually work. He also learned the value of his employees. More bosses and owners need to do the same.

I just love when employers threaten to fire the employee that is literally keeping their businesses afloat, only for the employee to accept being fired and ultimately kills the company simply by leaving.

[richewilson]

I graduated cosmetology school and I can vouch that this is the type of drama you see every time you go into a salon.

[randycarter]

The only power an employer has over you is your desire to continue. Once that desire is gone, so is the power.

[mimzyc]

I love that after coming in and actually working the owner realized what good people he had and OP kept working there through college. Sometimes things do work out

[thecatherd]

Gosh, story 4 is a nightmare. An ABSOLUTE nightmare. I've worked in the backend of food before and that owner makes me want to pull my hair out!

[DarkEinherjar]

Unpaid time-off? I'm pretty sure that's called "suspension", and can be a breach of contract if done wrong.

[buildingblock]

I will never understand why some business owners and managers treat their employees, especially the ones that keep their stores afloat, terribly. Are they trying to create some kinda power dynamic or do they really wanna watch everything self destruct?

[Deathstorm]

Story 3: Ain't nothing better than seeing some business brat who doesn't understand the first thing about running a business but has the indulgent parents to fund his bad ideas getting a reality check. Might be projecting a bit, but I can't see any other situation that could cause an owner that stupid.

[PanduPoluan]

Story 4 truly ended nicely. Sometimes bosses are good, and just a bit disconnected from reality. That dose of reality, then he apologized to his staff, then make things better to the point that OP actually returned year after year to help him, that's quite wholesome in a way.

[silverflight]

Story 3: Good ol' "My higher-up is an incompetent a**hole" story. Some people just don't know how to run stuff, and then wonder why it fails

[bobm]

When it comes to owners or managers or Any step of management, if they cannot do the job themselves then they have no right being in charge of ANYBODY who actually does do it.

[shadodragonette]

I worked for a cafe briefly in 1993, and had an amazing boss/owner. She woke up at stupid-early hours to bake the pies for the day, and they were mostly what kept people coming back. The pies, and her roast beef. Everything else could be found elsewhere just the exact same, but not the pies or roast beef. She inspired me to keep learning new ways of cooking and new recipes, even if I never made them myself. Thank you, Cookie!

Story 3: The owner broke labor laws the moment he told OP he "wouldn't pay more overtime" for OP coming in to cover missed shifts. I'm surprised it took "years" for the place to close after that.

[ChasoGod]

Owners need to work alongside their employees during the most busiest times to get a feel of what needs to be improved so the employees aren't suffering.
