Can you imagine having this much leverage and not using it to your advantage? It's almost as crazy as a company not keeping any records of important documentation like their entire directory before laying off most of the company. Oh, wait… both of those scenarios are happening here. This Redditor was laid off about a year ago in a very unceremonious fashion. Essentially, most of the company was laid off at once with 30 minutes' notice at the end of a work day. It doesn't get much more savage th…

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…

Each generation has their own way of handling stressful situations. The older generation, like boomers and Gen X, are all about holding that shame within yourself. Millennials recognized this and are actively trying to end that thought process, but it is a process to unlearn these things. However, Gen Z is straight up over it.

A mistake usually goes unrecognized until well after that mistake is made… and your importance to an organization is often not recognized until well after you're gone. Not so in this case, the decision to identify the least efficient members of their organization backfired spectacularly—all but negating one of their most important clients and making it very clear how important that “inefficient” member had been. You might think that this decision-making process might have considered that one pe…

What a way to go out! Imagine working in a toxic environment, but just keeping your head down and going through the motions—you need the money, after all. But then one day BAM some realizes the full toxicity of the company and you finally get the justice you deserved. Well, that is exactly what happened to this guy on Reddit. User @Ha-Funny-Boy posted to the subreddit r/pettyrevenge , however we think this is more like a justice served situation. The poster said that he had agreed to a salary-e…

Everyone always thinks, “oh it would be so nice to work with my besties!” But those who have been through that before know the potential disaster that it can become. You have to realize that just because you are working with a group of friends, doesn't mean there isn't going to be a hierarchy, and if you're friend group can't handle that workplace culture, it is most likely going to fall apart—both the business and the friendship… That is exactly what happened to one recent Reddit poster. She w…

An incredibly public display that may have resulted in multiple contractual and privacy breaches occurred on Twitter between Twitter CEO Elon Musk and a developer, Halli, after the developer enquired about his employment status on the platform following radio silence from the social media giant. The exchange resulted from a viral tweet from Halli, who claimed that they had lost access to their work computer nine days prior—yet there had been communication from the HR department, which also wasn…

“I hope the [Bank Street Bar] realizes this is all because of Tristan’s well-documented poor management skills and fires him and gives the banks staff all their jobs back.”
