Small contracts lawyer uses loophole to beat major telco company at their own game by adhering strictly to their contract terms: 'He was exposing them to risks greater than any of them were willing to be a part of'

There's always a bigger fish… No matter how big or small you are, you can almost take solace in the fact that there's always going to be someone bigger or better than you at something and will soon come to take your place. This is a real worry to the big fish out there who are desperate to maintain their status as top dogfish. In this way, sometimes being the smallest fish is beneficial because all the other fish are so much larger than you that they consider you to not be a threat or even wort…

'We don't pay you to be 2 minutes late': Retail employee discovers "interesting detail" with strict boss's plans to halt late employees

Requiring your employees to clock in at exactly their scheduled start time each day is guaranteed to add some extra stress into their lives. It's not as if most employees are trying to be late. Most of them are stuck in traffic or caught on a train that won't move. They rush into work as fast as they can—they might even sprint to make it!—but if they're even two or five minutes late , their boss is still going to be annoyed. All that rushing around to try to make it on time, and the boss still…

Freelance worker fired after asking to be paid for extra work: 'I got a termination email claiming disrespectful conduct'

Freelance workers deserve better. Despite not being salaried and not having benefits, most of these workers are forced to deal with a nebulous set of expectations that can at times be more intrusive. For instance, freelance workers may not have a set number of hours, but that does not mean that they have to be subjected to constant emails, calls, and texts from their supervisors during off hours. For some reason, the work-life boundaries for freelance workers always seem to be more nonexistent…

30 funny job postings filled with typos: 'Get paid to become a science!'

One has to wonder who wrote these job postings! Perhaps they are the ones who should be out of a job and looking for work. There is nothing quite like the pain of scrolling endlessly on job posting sites and looking for the right opportunity, one that you're potentially qualified for and genuinely interested in pursuing. It can feel impossible, at times, to find the right mix of both of those extremes in one employment opportunity, and yet, you continue to hope for a better day so you keep on s…

Employer cancels flexible work policy after employee cuts their finger at home: 'Cut my finger working from home. Boss cancels all WFH immediately':

"Cause and effect" or "action and reaction" is typically a predictable concept—bounce a ball on the ground at your feet, and you'd expect it to come flying straight back at your face. Still, when the factor of human perception motivations is included, you can end up with some interesting reactions that you might not have considered. Take for instance, this worker who injured themself during their lunch break while working from home, leading to their boss's ending of their workplace's flexible w…

Being forced to bring proof to work for being sick should simply not be a thing. We are all adults, there is no reason why we should not be believed when we say we feel bad enough that we cannot go to work. Even if one is not truly and wholeheartedly sick, if they feel like they are not up to going to work on a certain day, absolutely nothing will happen if they just stay home for a day without providing a doctor's note.
