‘Divorce is Wrong’: Top 26 Unpopular Opinions of the Week

Ahem, hi everyone, hello there, heya, greetings… Are you ready for a slightly cringey, perhaps off-putting selection of unpopular opinions? Have you slipped on your judgey glasses , and pushed them up your nose a bit, so you can look extra condescending when you go through them? Good, me too.

If you are ha…

‘You're Wrong’: The Most Unpopular Opinions This Week

Last week I was at a friend's birthday party, sipping some beer, chilling, and observing everyone quietly from the side, but admittedly tuning into conversations that were happening around me. I was surprised, per usual, at the sheer audacity some people have when they put down others for having a different opinion. Tell me you are insecure, without telling me you are insecure. Not everybody has to agree with you. Moreover, it's probably best that they don't. If you are always surrounded by lik…

'What can we do to get you to stay?': New manager tells worker they're useless, begs them to stay when they quit

Well, which one is it? Useless or essential to the business? Contrary to what some managers believe, you don't get to have it both ways. If you treat your staff poorly, they're probably not going to have your interests—or the interests of the business—close to heart. Conversely, treating staff with decency and giving them agency will help you maintain a thriving and successful business. No one likes to have their hand held, no one likes to be micromanaged, and certainly, no one is going to reac…

'He is a menace': Worker quits new job after two days because of new boss

People don't quit jobs; they quit bosses… Most of the time, at least. This saying has echoed off of the walls of this site a thousand times, and yet it remains just as true as in its first utterance. Too many jerks out there have ended up in a position of workplace authority—either by starting their own business or through the power of the Peter principle—and find themselves wondering why they can't keep staff, not realizing that the answer is looking at them in the face every morning when they…

'I was laid off from my job three months ago': Employee gets laid off, asked to come back three months later

Getting laid off from work is hard. It's a huge blow to your confidence and leaves you wondering where you're going and what your future prospects are. Maybe you're just not good enough to move forward on this career path—where can you get next? Who would possibly hire you after this failure? It's important to remember that being selected for layoffs doesn't necessarily say anything about you or your abilities; who knows if it even says anything at all. What's important is to get that CV togeth…

'He didn't believe me': Older coworkers stunned to find out how much man is paying in rent, sparks vigorous discussion about housing

Things certainly aren't how they used to be… While that common cliché has been repeated for generations now, possibly since the beginning of human existence, when it comes to the housing market, it's pretty clear that things aren't how they used to be. Gone are the days when a young couple could afford a four-bedroom home on one income while starting a family—raising and somehow funding an entire brood of children. The thing is, your older family, friends, and coworkers might not even realize h…
