This bank worker had one of the strangest weekends of their life. Three-day weekends are a beautiful thing to look forward to. After that Friday's over, you have a full Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to travel or relax or sleep a lot. When you spend so much time at work, having a little bonus day off is a great feeling. This person was probably looking forward to their own three-day weekend , but their boss didn't let them enjoy it at all. As a contract worker, it seems like the OP, u/erikestrada…

You want phone calls? You got phone calls . That's totally fine by this overnight worker, since they usually barely call anyone during their shift anyway. As an employee, you may see the CEO of your company just a few times. Often, you'll be introduced to the CEO when you first start at the job, so it's important to make a good impression.

You have to go to your boss, politely explain all the reasons you think you deserve more money, and then really advocate for yourself. No matter how great your pres…

This employee tried over and over to tell their boss that they were making a mistake . Some bosses just always want to think they're right. U/Ars-Torok had a great malicious compliance story to tell, and while it's a long story, it's totally worth the read. The OP writes that while rising through the ranks of this company, they worked with a few different bosses. One was a great boss who could solve anything… and the other was Steve. Steve was the kind of boss who thinks they are right 100% of…

Finding a babysitter for your children is no easy feat . This person reportedly took to Craigslist to post their job description. Their ideal sitter, as they describe, would be someone who can work Sundays through Fridays from 6PM to 7AM. So basically, they need someone to sleep there every night for about 13 hours, and work every day but Saturday . While this person won't live with the family, the way an au pair would, there is apparently the possibility of a live-in position. Aside from the w…

Sometimes it seems like the better a dream is, the faster our brains forget it. Sometimes you're dreaming that you're walking around your middle school, which is also an endless grocery store, looking for your best friend from fourth grade. Dreams are super weird! Our brains make up wacky adventures for us as we rest. Some people find meaning in their dreams and what they could symbolize, while other think it's just random neurons firing as we rest. After all, sometimes dreams can feel so vivid…
