![<p>Don't mess with the social media manager if you want your social media to look good. That's what one trendy dentist's office did with their newly hired social media person, and like a tooth, things got sore pretty quickly. I guess even doctors can be <a href="https://trending.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/boss-forces-skilled-employee-to-work-overtime-so-employee-uses-their-skills-to-do-nothing/87466959/">bad bosses</a>. </p><p><br></p><p>After accepting the well-paying position, the dentist's office's new social media manager quickly realized that while their work was piling on, none of it was the legal paperwork required to make sure they got paid. After pressing their new managers, the front desk denied having ever agreed on the salary, despite emails to the contrary. The dentist, as I'm sure he did during actual medical school, claimed ignorance. </p><p><br></p><p>Citing lofty gas and toll prices, the new employee decided to quit; having yet to see a dime. But while the battle for payment rages on, the employee remains in possession of the company phone with all of their work as a bargaining tool. And as one Redditor commented on the story, “Seems like a golden opportunity to drag them on social media.”</p><p><br></p><p>Spurred on by commenters, the employee sounds ready to make their move. "I think it's pretty [messed up] on his end to [mess with] a social media person." Who knew getting money from a dentist would be like pulling teeth?</p>](https://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/thumbs/2023/10/31/121733/87467876/dsmm-fixed.jpg "New Boss Denies Employee Promised Salary, Employee Gets the Last Laugh")

![<p>If you're a boss, a key element of your job usually involves making sure your employees are as productive as possible. One automotive supplier manager had other ideas and it cost her company 10k in labor. </p><p><br></p><p>Employing mostly student workers from a nearby work-study college program, the company had little to do with them while it went through a merger. Instead of cutting labor, the shop workers were often left with no tasks, while their equipment was transported to new locations. When work finally came in, one student was excited to get some hands-on experience, and efficiently completed her task before getting scolded by her manager to slow down and look busy, so as not to offend any higher-ups who happened to walk by. </p><p><br></p><p>So the student complied and took all of her remaining 2.5 months' worth of hours to complete her next task, hiding away in a back room to do it. By the end of the season, she had racked up 10 grand in wages to watch Netflix and listen to music. "I think [my manager] genuinely forgot I worked there," she said. As one reader commented, "Do you know what completing tasks quickly gets you? More work. Not more pay, just more work."</p>](https://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/thumbs/2023/12/14/123648/87486576/no-work-fixed.jpg "Boss Tells Employee to 'Work Slower and Look Busy,' So They Do, Costing the Company 10 Grand")
