* [[Cruel to Be Kind]]: In [https://notalwaysright.com/scared-straight/252634/ "Scared Straight"], the OP does this after a neighbor's son, whom he recommends for a position, gets him pulled into a discipline meeting. Management mistook him for being the son's father, and said he was untrainable. OP corrected them and recommended they fire the neighbor's son because he got him this job as a favor and in response the kid had been bratty. Management agreed to give him a second chance. The son shaped up, became nicer and a hard worker, and started saving for his own car.
* [[Scare'Em Straight]]: The title "[https://notalwaysright.com/scared-straight/252634/ Scared Straight]" has this where the OP delivered this to his neighbor's son. He recommended the son for the job position, so he would have motivation to earn more in life. Said son would show up late to work, complain regularly, and not do his job. To add insult to injury, OP was driving him to and from work as a favor. When management pulled them in for a meeting after three months, the OP clarified that the employee was not ''his'' son and they recommended that the managers fire him. Management was so shocked they agreed to give the son a second chance. The son was so shocked he'd have to pay consequences that he agreed to shape up, and honored that promise.
* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: [https://notalwaysright.com/someones-in-very-hot-water/253085/ "Someone's in Very Hot Water"] A manager on a power trip made a teenage employee attendant work outside moving carts during a heatwave. While the employee was following these orders, they were written up for taking a break after two hours of moving carts. A gentleman noticed two hours later, ordered them to go back inside with water, and became livid when finding out the manager fired them. Turns out he was the regional director, and happened to catch the manager in the act of yelling at the teenage employee for coming back and trying to not die of heatstroke. “YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL ME, [MANAGER]?!” he bellowed at her, before screaming at her further, and ordering the teen to take a break ''now'' for twenty minutes and work in the frozen food section for the rest of their shift. The manager was suspended and later fired post-suspension since it was revealed she was working teen employees beyond Florida's mandatory limits.
