Knowing your rights as an employee is essential. Your management has a duty to provide for some essential needs; other needs are voluntary, but depending on the manager-you relationship, they may have an impact on your future in the organization. The story below is an account of a frustrated worker. The original poster (OP) goes to Reddit to ask for guidance on whether his employer is infringing on his fundamental rights as an employee. For background, OP clarifies that some employees work indo…

Servers have to deal with it all. Mainly irritated customers. Whether it's dinner rush, the kitchen is backed up, or you are dealing with a Karen customer, you have to know how to maintain your composure, even in the most ridiculous of situations. In this story, a server is dealing with an impatient customer who wants more ranch (why is it always ranch?). The server heard his request the first time but still had multiple other tables to check on. She had a system going, and she'd get the impa...

This manager has some audacity for placing blame on their employee!

Every workplace has that one person who's a stickler for the rules and can take the fun out of any situation. Up next, these home installation workers have seen a thing or two during house visits, like one person who was surprised when “A chicken walks out of the back room.”

This Karen has never heard the word “no,” and apparently, neither has her son. it turns out that the most dangerous part about the Karens of the world is that there is a high likelihood that they will pass their toxic traits to their children. What this essentially means is that where there is a Karen parent, there is likely a Karen child ready to keep that entitled behavior going until they themselves have kids. So on and so forth. The dynasty of Karens will seemingly never end. Here, we have…

The grass always seems greener on the other side. But the truth is, that's not always the case. Sometimes, we can be going through a tough time at work and find ourselves questioning if this is really the right industry for us. When we're young, we're told we can be anything we want, and there are so many professions out there that sound interesting—doctors, vets, teachers, chefs, etc. But then, once you get into the field, it's not as glorious as you were hoping.

Don't mess with your neighbor's hobbies. For most of us, our after-work hobbies are the things that keep us going week-over-week, so when this entitled mother decided to make her familial problems into the entire neighborhood's problem, one man had to push back.

So many pranks and so little time. Having an office full of good-natured coworkers who can take a joke makes the work week fly by. Some workplaces prank each other more than others, though, like the employees of u/Apatheric_Anger's place of employment. They wrote that since the pay was low, morale was raised every time someone played a prank. I'm sure that pranking higher-ups was especially common in an atmosphere like that. The employee writes that “few were immune to pranks." Next up, tweets…

During the course of your career, it's generally thought that going above and beyond is often associated with greater reward… at least eventually. However, it's also possible that you'll end up working for people who will just take advantage of your willingness to do extra work and provide extra value to their company without extra pay. This workshop laborer helped in the production and manufacture of sheds for use on clients' farms and other similar business uses. They helped with cleaning, ma…

Karmic payout

Office romances almost never work out, but this one really went haywire. This Redditor admits that she should never have gotten into a relationship with this guy, but she was naive at the time and new to the workforce. When she and her then-boyfriend started dating, they seemed to create a healthy work-life balance until she was promoted and transferred to a different city. Let's just say that long distance did not exactly work out. In fact, this dude tried to ghost the Redditor, which proved t…

Sorry boss, the damage is done.

It's not a given by any stretch that you'll get along with your neighbor; after all, there's no basis for selection other than that you lived or were interested in living in the same area—and happened to buy property adjacent to each other. Then you spend every day next to that person, sometimes keenly and overly aware of their comings and goings. So, it's no surprise when personalities clash between neighbors who share nothing in common other than the adjacent boundary of their properties. Som…

Seriously, every week? This guy is having the annoying issue of his neighbor's landscaper blocking his driveway every single week. His neighbor across the street has his lawn serviced every Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m., and without fail, the landscaper's truck is right in the way, blocking anyone from exiting the driveway. It is even more infuriating because this man leaves about that time every day to take his children to daycare. So he begrudgingly has to track down the owner of the truck,…

Calling one's inconsiderate neighbor out on their nonsense takes a lot of courage. After all, you don't necessarily want to burn any bridges or provoke them to enact some kind of petty revenge on you. On the other hand, letting your neighbors walk all over you is not going to earn anyone's respect, including the people in your own home. At a certain point, standing up for yourself is inevitable, even if it comes with the risk of losing a cordial relationship with an infuriating neighbor. More o…

When you're in a workplace where you're constantly ignored , you can give up or double down. This person decided to double down, and it seems like their strategy paid off! These days, a lot of offices are trying to employ modern techniques to get the best work out of their employees. One popular move has been to do away with cubicles altogether. Cubicles got a bad rep in early 2000s culture, and became an icon of workplace oppression. But if you've ever had a cubicle, you know that there are so…
