Sometimes nepotism presents itself in subtle, understated ways that influence the progression of someone's career in unseen ways. But, sometimes, the person making way for the nepo-hire is brazen enough to fire workers under false accusations in order to make way for their desired candidate. But when you're in the process of prioritizing your own personal relationships over ability, you shouldn't be quick to overlook the personal relationships of those you're screwing over. This team knew where…

Remember when your parents used to confiscate your cell phone for not answering it? Thus leaving you with no cell phone to answer their subsequent calls with. You might not have been able to text your friends either, but not being tied to a requirement of constant communication and surveillance was freeing. It turns out that experience is not lost to the past, and you may be able to relive it (without clocking 88 miles an hour in a DeLorean.) All you need is a boss who is more concerned with ma…

Let's be real… We've all had that one coworker who is always coming in late and leaving early to pick up their kids. No big deal, right? Everyone deserves to have a flexible working arrangement. But, when that flexibility and those considerations aren't offered to other workers, and it places more work or undesirable shifts on those workers' shoulders, it becomes a problem. Reddit especially champions the idea that those with kids shouldn't expect special treatment over their coworkers who are…

Scientists were astounded when a new material was discovered that is even denser than osmium: This boss's thick skull. This thread was originally posted to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit by the boss, who was resoundingly put in their place and declared completely wrong by everyone who responded. Commenters were so shocked by the boss's callous willingness to renege on promises—and so impressed with the worker's decision to quit on the spot—that one commenter cross-posted screenshots of the…

Having an aggressively abusive boss will make your working life intolerable, and this negativity will likely bleed into your personal life and make that worse as well. Unfortunately, especially in some industries, bad behavior from the bosses is almost an expectation, with egotistical CEOs and owners unleashing wrathful attitudes on workers lest they forget who is in charge. This user, Redditor u/EAwithOddTasks, shared their story to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. While the post didn…

Raising a puppy is hard work, anybody who has ever done it know that is a guarantee. That's why it is important to make sure you are ready to dedicate yourself to a creature like that. How much should you dedicate is what's up for debate in one woman's comment section. She simply took to her social media as an outlet to let out her anger after finding her home completely destroyed by her puppy. She had left him created while she was at work, but he escaped. Now, the comment section is deep in d…

Sometimes, you get so fixated on one little detail that you miss the bigger picture entirely. That tunnel vision can result in horrific errors in judgment in professional organizations that snowball and cost companies thousands, if not millions, of dollars. You, a new manager (or finance person), are looking to implement some unnecessary changes in order to fuel your insecure ego (under the guise of saving the company money) and think that taking away your project engineer's company vehicles wi…

Society is ready to go back to the bartering system at this point.

This is my 20th interview, of course I have experience
