Update: 'Biggest payday of my life for 2 minutes of work': Contractor spends entire weekend at work after being told to "stay as long as it takes"

This bank worker had one of the strangest weekends of their life. Three-day weekends are a beautiful thing to look forward to.

'I slept on the couch of horrors': Guy who regularly sleeps on his couch discovers over 70 spiders living underneath

We all crash on the couch every now and then, maybe even more often than we'd like to admit.

So, you keep laying there, fighting to stay awake for as long as you can as your eyes slowly drift and then… bam. It's 6 in the morning. Or, like in the OP's case, the living room is just so much cooler (temperature-wise) than the stuffy bedrooms. I can relate to…

'At the end of day two, I have spent 36 hours at work': Hourly employee gets 'salaried' treatment from boss who refuses to listen to them

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.

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…
