1. This company declared they no longer accept a doctor’s note as proof of sickness because “if you are able to go to the doctor you are able to come to work.”

7. This reminder to actors that they’re considered late if they show up on time, and “most probably lost the job!”

9. This load-bearing reminder that workers are expected to do everything at once.
10. This notice has so many things wrong with it. First, the company decided that employees have to pay for items voided by customers, even though the product will still be returned to shelves.

11. This unfortunate work environment where some feel it’s appropriate to poop in the shower.
12. This company forcing employees to pay $2 to microwave their lunch.
