Being a corporate suit is like being a hamster in a cage. Your life is pretty plushy, but at the end of the day, all you do is run around on that little wheel of yours, while you mindlessly imagine what it's like in the real outdoors. The corporate cage turns nepo babies, rich folks, and country club members into feral wolves, while it turns the rest of us into handsome blonde rodents with a 2 year life span . Hang in there, Hamtaro, the wheel will keep spinning even when you stop running, so p…

Hey Siri, how do you say, "I quit my job, I have no money, please don't rob me" in Spanish?

It seems like every time you clock in a little piece of you gets eaten away. Work has that effect on people, especially in the corporate world. Just because you “spice up” your cubicle with pictures of tropical vacations doesn't mean you're any closer to getting that week-long PTO request approved. And just because you do excellent work in your department doesn't mean you're going to get that raise– in fact, your boss will probably just give you more work to do as a reward for your success. If…

Commuting to work must be the biggest waste of time known to man. You sit in traffic on the freeway for 45 minutes with a stale drive through coffee in your hand, meetings to panic about, and road rage in your heart . Now imagine if your office was only 10 steps away from your bedroom? 20 steps away from your kitchen and fully stocked cupboard? Not only do you have full access to all of the luxuries of home (snacks, good coffee, comfortable pants, and your pets), but your "commute" takes about…

The number one rule in any work environment: be kind to the receptionist!

This dude told a hilarious story of email insanity, writing, “I witnessed this astounding IT meltdown around 2004 in a large academic organization…”

When the CEO of this IT company demanded changes to his email system, he totally miscalculated the consequences.

This principal should have known better than to test the patience of this school teacher! Public school teachers already have so much on their plates, but this teacher's situation sounds especially grim. As u/Middle_Pound_822 shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, their school is currently plagued by an “overwhelming sewage smell.” It's so bad that lots of the teachers have moved their classrooms into the hallway . That resulted in the ire of the school supervisor , who responded with a petty email (…

There are few people in this world who can honestly say that they actually enjoy their jobs. Most of us just kind of exist in this black hole called existence and try not to stir stuff up with HR or yell at our office Karen. If you work in retail, you try not to end up in the News for jumping at a customer. You count every day leading up to the weekend, and tell your coworkers that you are ‘definitely quitting this year’. 2023 is basically as stressful as 2022, and we're only a few days in… A l…

Office drama is sometimes the only thing keeping people from spontaneously quitting their jobs and fleeing the workplace. The intriguing pettiness of workplace gossip is almost always passive aggressive, toxic, and downright ridiculous because your coworkers are people you spend literally ⅓ of your life with. Eight hours a day spent with people you passably tolerate is a recipe for some disastrous events. One man named Zak Toscani, a Twitter comedian and reporter of tea , recalls a story where…

Best way to make enemies? Reduce their PTO!

Working from home has a lot of benefits: You can get personal tasks done during breaks and generally have much more self-determination over your time. Plus, there's no wasted time and money involved with commuting. You generally get more time to spend with your family due to increased free time, and this can do wonders for your personal relationships.

To that one coworker (you know who you are)... act your wage.

‘Tis the season to be honest about how much work you’re actually doing this month.

Positive reinforcement is not always effective.

According to HR, they're out 'sick' at least 100 times per year
