Who doesn't have nightmares about work emails? Whether it's you sending an email to the wrong person or receiving a dreaded email from your manager, we all have anxiety concerning the ubiquitous phenomenon that is emailing. Sometimes, I even get anxious about sending someone without an attachment or with an egregious typo, especially in my early working days as an intern. In fact, I can't imagine the stress this intern was under when she opened her work email one day only to discover that her a…

Our OP had the ultimate comeback to his entitled sister-in-law who tried to shame him for living in a trailer and working a blue-collar job. In front of their whole family, and in our OP's mobile home, she told her children to stay in school or they will end up like their uncle. She said she doesn't want her kids “working with their hands.” She backed her statement by saying that him and his wife are doing OK, but what if they wanted children? Little did she know he invited his family over to t…

There's a reason why businesses only offer services once an ironclad contract has been signed and reviewed. It's because they know “good” business is conducted on what you can legally get away with—maximizing your own cash flow by separating someone else from theirs—and that it's not conducted on verbal agreements, vague promises, goodwill, or moral quandary. Yet, they expect their workers to accept doing more work, working more hours with the vague expectation that it might one day lead to a r…

Anyone who thinks being a good employee means always checking your email when you're on paternity leave has to check their priorities. Sure, bosses tend to put a ton of unnecessary pressure on their employees, as if to say that checking their emails is more important than tending to their newborn child. In fact, this is almost the most obvious example of employers prioritizing work over life and livelihood. It really doesn't get more obvious than that. However, these are the moments in one's ca…

Sometimes, getting too good of results will only prove to your boss that you're a threat to them and will earn you the honor of being the target of their ire and infantile rage as, rather than up their own game, they try to politically hamstring you in order to prove their superiority. After all, whenever their ego is involved, you can trust someone to make an irrational decision.

Sometimes you just have to act dumb and let the situation unfold on its own…

Getting fired is a huge bummer– that is, if you actually like your job. If you work for a crass, loser boss, it might be a blessing in disguise when you get the boot.

From pilfering water to stealing company time, these managers were sure they had the perfect punishments for these “thieving” employees.

This person couldn't have undecorated fast enough for one of their neighbors. It seems like every year people debate how long it's okay to leave holiday decorations up until. Is it okay to leave a Christmas tree up until February? What about leaving holiday lights up year-round? And when exactly should you switch from Thanksgiving decorations to Hanukkah or Christmas ones? It varies differently from family to family. Plus, people set up their decorations at different times, too. Some love to st…

There's absolutely nothing wrong with finding a loophole within your company's various policies. Make no mistake: your employers are finding loopholes all the time, especially when it comes to finding ways to pay you less. So for the sake of reciprocity, what's wrong with using your work's flawed and unspecific policies to your own advantage when it's appropriate? This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/notarobotnorealy , who worked at a popular chain and was rec…

Childless adults get a pretty bad rep amongst people who have children, especially in the workplace. Perhaps we're just not ready to have grubby fingerprints on every surface of our home and Cocomelon playing on loop, but for some reason, Stephanie in accounting seems keen on weighing in on our lifestyle choices.
