We all have that one coworker...

Imagine working hard for decades for the same company, pushing towards retirement age, only for them to turn around and treat you terribly. Many companies simply do not care about their employee wellbeing, instead, they only care about their bottom line. There was a time where working for a company for decades really meant something — the company could be trusted to care about their employees who were loyal to the business over the years. But these days, it's all about keeping shareholders and…

You know it's ridiculous when the cost of the request exceeds the actual overpayment!

Your boss's inability to be organized is not your problem!

This garbage CEO should really think before he speaks...

This employee needs to recognize that their coworker very much did this to himself.

There's nothing like finding a niche loophole and getting some money back in the process.

If this isn't the problem with startup culture, I don't know what is!

Something tells me this is not what HR was hoping for.

It's as if HR has become a parody of itself!

This coworker just might be an infuriating genius!

When this employee was wrongly accused, his boss defended him – and uncovered some face-palm inducing incompetence at their company. As the OOP of this post knows all too well, it requires a certain set of skills to excel at people management. But as they wrote in a post to r/talesfromtechsupport, they were not only having an issue with the tech they managed, but with the HR department. HR levied a serious accusation against the tech. They wrote that the dude “massively violated the IT data pol…

It's incredibly frustrating when someone in your workplace gets away with downright obscene behavior, and no one is doing a thing about it. You might think that that's what the HR department is for, but in a lot of organizations, they're content to sit on their hands and let the worst offenders get away with anything but murder—just as long as they don't have to deal with any conflict or rocking boats. As a manager, this can present an incredibly difficult problem; you can be as accommodating a…

Having an employer who thinks they own you is nothing new, but now they want your children too. What with certain unnamed protections being lifted recently in certain unnamed locations … It will only be a matter of time before the children return to the mines that they yearn for! I mean, what else are kids good for? They're small and able-bodied, conveniently fitting into tight locations that are often found in confined work spaces like mine shafts and maintenance corridors. Sounds like wasted…

There are a lot of people in this world with a lot of different beliefs, and we would do well to seek to understand and accept them. Still, there are some things in this world that just don't seem to add up to any rational sort of thinking. It's all well and good to follow a belief structure that carries a sense of morality and ethics. But what do you do when that structure prohibits you from using the tools of your trade? Is it your organization's responsibility to cater to these needs? Or is…

There's an age-old saying that can—although said in many different ways—be summarized as: If you're going to break the rules, don't break two rules at the same time. It's a simple, logical rationalization that boils down to mitigating risks. When you break multiple rules simultaneously, you just multiply your chances of being caught. In addition to that, when you get caught for one… you're probably going to get caught for both—and pay the price for both. There's also the added risk of more peop…
