Random Office And Store Workers Describe Craziest Accusations Their Bosses Have Made (15 items)

• (#10) He Was Accused Of Stealing $3

  From Redditor /u/LeMadnessofKingHippo: 

  Back when I was in high school, I worked for my town's parks department. One time, my boss (who was a total sleazeball who sexually harassed every girl there, and hated me mostly for not being female) calls me in to his office. While there, he accuses me of stealing a $3 check, and then says that I have to be let go. I tell him point-blank that if I was to steal from the department, it would be something a lot more than a measly $3 check... Later on, I find out from a friend of mine that he found the check underneath his desk, and then a month later someone finally reported him for harassment and he got fired too.
• (#3) An Employer Wrote Them Up For Stealing Trash

  From Redditor /u/iambeaker:

  I had an employer of mine write me up for stealing trash. In reality, at the end of my shift, one of my duties was to gather all the trash. Often times, I would pick through the trash and sort all the paper, pop cans, and water bottles in our company's recycle bin. We had a special promotion with our trash company in which our company would get money based on the number of pounds we recycled. It ended up being $1500 per month AND we didn't pay our trash bill.

  So long story short, I got a final write up for stealing company time for sorting our recyclables. So I stopped, the following month, our manager was pissed that she had to pay a trash bill. She called the trash company and the company told her that the past two years she didn't pay for trash because our company would recycle so much, we would get a $1500 check AND free trash service.

  My boss thought that the checks were a bonus for her. Anyhow, the district manager was reviewing the write ups and saw I got written up for stealing trash, so he called me up and asked me what was going on. I told him the story about the trash company and their promotion. He congratulated me for a job well done.

  The next day he flew in to talk to my manager. He asked my manager what happened to the $20,000 that she got from the trash company. Apparently, she tried to pin it back on me, and our district manager promptly fired her. After escorting her out, he called me into the office. He told me what happened in that meeting, and offered me a promotion to Assistant Manager.
• (#9) They Were Accused Of Goofing Off In The Bathroom

  From Redditor /u/stimbus: 

  My boss thought I was goofing off in the restroom. For a few months there he wouldn't let me flush the toilet until he came in and made sure I actually used it.
• (#6) They Were Accused Of Being An Animal-Killer

  From Redditor /u/AustinFound: 

  I once used the phrase "more than one way to skin a cat" around a manager who had never heard the phrase. She called me into her office later to ask why I was saying such disgusting things, accused me of being a sicko who kills animals, and then threatened to fire me if she heard anything like it ever again.
• (#12) They Were Accused Of Stealing An iPod, So The Boss Stole From Them

  From Redditor /u/WhatsAMaWhoosIt: 

  When I worked at Circuit City, I had an 80 GB iPod that my dad had given me because he no longer needed it (it was practically brand new)... Well, one day it's in my purse that I kept under my counter while I was working. It goes missing. I couldn't understand how it had gotten stolen, it had been one of the slowest days ever. Nonetheless, I was pretty freaking bummed out about it. This happened during a time where the case we kept iPods in was broken and it was terribly easy to to steal them, and many had gone missing.

  Fast-toward a few weeks later, my coworker tells me a [department manager accused me of] stealing iPods and that he got into my purse when I wasn't looking and took it to check the serial number, but never gave it back because I was flipping out and causing a bit of scene walking around asking everyone if they'd seen anyone take it.
• (#5) They Were Accused Of Working Too Slowly, When Really The Boss Was Just Jealous

  From Redditor /u/Immamoonkin: 

  I used to work for a Kroger in Little Rock, AK, as a cake decorator part time. I was never actually trained for the job except how to properly put frosting on the cake or how to make a shell border. Everything else was pretty much self taught.

  I used what artist skills I have to not only do a shell border, but add art nouveau style borders with it, as well as create custom character cakes for birthdays if our store didn't have the cake kit to make it with. I had created cakes that were unique. I created a "premium" chocolate cake by using chocolate frosting, then using malt balls to create grape vines all over it. It sold 15 minutes after I put it on the cooler, so I had to make another. Also, you know those little "cupcake cakes" where they take a bunch of cupcakes and make a character? Yeah, I did goombas and Mario mushrooms for those.

  After working there for about three months, the bakery manager called me over to the side and told me that the head cake designer complained that I was too slow at making the cakes, and because of that, I was now required to stand up for seven hours straight making sandwiches until they feel I can become fast enough to make cakes again.

  I later found out that from other employees that it wasn't that I was slow; it was because no one was buying the cakes she was making.
