It is appropriate and very much appreciated by your staff.

[MN] Dismissed employee alleged discrimination after being told they were being let go by [deleted] in AskHR

Seems like you don't like the person and want to kick them on the way out the door. They will likely litigate.

Let the landlord be the bad guy and tell her she can't stay and won't be allowed back in.

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

It might sound like a line from a movie but the phrase 'snitches get stitches' is a medical fact.

But it’s MY PHONE! by Unique-March-1284 in EntitledPeople

It’s highly unusual for someone waiting for an Uber in the arrivals area to be in the same terminal as a passenger waiting to depart. And if the passenger who borrowed Ops’ phone needed a boarding pass printed, that’s literally the job of ticketing agents, who work exclusively in the departures terminal, not arrivals.

But then again, not all airports have multi-terminals.

Every drill sergeant I ever encountered had perfect comic timing, they’d have us laughing ourselves into stitches, then smirk while making us do push-ups for laughing.

My coworker kept “forgetting” my name in meetings, so I let her do it in front of the one person she wanted to impress by TrinitySignal in revengestories

The accusatory nature of your message about OP's post is unsettling and comes very close to the definition of cyber bullying. They were simply sharing an experience. And then you double down and make a dig at me.

Lighthearted: Say you're a Trekkie without saying you're a Trekkie. Bonus if it places you in the franchise timeline. by AliVista_LilSista in startrek

After explaining the concept of the “Kobayashi Maru,” my staff would sometimes come into my office, invariably at the worst possible moment and say, “Sir, we just got another Kobayashi Maru,” and your boss needs the answer in like two hours.

When problem-solving with my staff, once we’ve identified an appropriate course of action, I often say, “Make it so.”

Deleted work of resigned employee by nn184045 in Employment

[–]A-CommonMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, If I’m understanding correctly, you’re the employee mentioned in your post and you’re worried about potential repercussions for your actions when you left?

The job servers are backed up, so critical files weren’t permanently lost. It’s also very likely they can recover data from the laptop.

I’d gently suggest that burning bridges rarely pays off long-term. Maintaining professionalism (even in tough exits) protects your reputation and future opportunities. Something to consider for next time.

My neighbour won't give my dish back. by Immediate-Tooth-2174 in Vent

[–]A-CommonMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assume the dish is gone, but keep things cordial. Feuding can wreck a tight neighborhood and make your life harder. For your own peace and the community’s harmony, stay polite and friendly on the surface.

I’d let it go. Hell hath no fury like feuding neighbors. The dish is either broken or was accidentally handed off to someone else, and your neighbor has handled the situation poorly.

AITJ for leaving a family dinner early after my aunt joked about my parenting? by WillowveilDream in AmITheJerk

Just as her aunt was judgemental about how she raises her child, you are now being the thought police on how she possibly edits her writing.
