Constant exposure to a toxic workplace environment can cause devastating burnout that really sneaks up on you…

This mom isn't 100% sure that she's doing the right thing here. After her son ate an inordinate amount of pizza, she turned to the internet to steer her in the right direction. After that, read about the ridiculous requests that hotel guests had, like one guest who “demanded a room upgrade because ‘their aura didn’t vibe' with the one they booked.”

Starting off on the wrong foot

There are some drivers out there who just enjoy honking at the person in front of them for essentially existing. We understand that everyone has bad days, but taking one's frustrations out on the road is never a good idea, and it can backfire in a plethora of ways. For this Redditor , he was driving slightly above the speed limit in a quiet, empty residential area where his speed was the unofficial norm. The truck driver behind him, however, clearly had an issue with his speed and started honki…

Efficiency is usually a prized quality, especially when someone's time is costing you a lot of money. In fact, when you work on a contract basis your clients are usually accusing you of wasting time or for charging time that wasn't worked or worked “appropriately” enough for the project. It's unusual to have the client accusing you of working too quickly and demanding that you take your time on something—unless the job is being charged at a flat rate and they're concerned about the quality of t…

If your boss is making you grind your teeth, you're in good company. The people of the internet joined together to share the reasons why their boss has been getting on their last nerves , and there are some crazy stories out there! Some people have bosses who just don't appreciate a single thing they do . The boss is so focused on meeting their goals or delivering a project to a client that they don't acknowledge all the hard work it takes to make that happen. It can be so frustrating to work a…

Any employee who is only allowed to leave work early with managerial approval knows how great it is when that approval to dip out is granted. Yet somehow, there is always something or someone that gets in the way when those rare blissful moments do happen in the workplace. Here, we have an entitled Karen coworker who was 12 years older than this Redditor and who had a completely different job in the kitchen where they worked. In fact, the Redditor points out that this Karen left early from work…

There's really no place for bait-and-switch tactics in the interview process. The process of looking for a job is long and difficult enough without using deceit to try and trick prospective candidates into taking a job that wasn't what they thought they were signing up for, either changing the terms of their employment or compensation at the last minute and hoping they'll be desperate enough to go along with it. Still, as with anything in life, communication is key, and sometimes—no, often—simp…

This person has a serious chip on their shoulder about their wife's debt issue. Right off the bat, the topic of debt can make people really jumpy. No one likes to talk about what happens when you keep spending because it's fun, only to realize that you're sinking deeper and deeper into debt. As the debt balloons, it makes you sad, and that makes you want a little treat. The cycle continues, and it can be difficult to break. But with the right support and a good plan in place, there's still hope…

"Normally, I’d do it my usual way—efficiently and with a bit of common sense."

The audacity of this assistant is insane and maybe a little iconic. Charlotte was a 50-year-old administrative assistant who reported to the CEO of a small company. The CFO was a 27-year-old, and Charlotte was clearly threatened by the age difference. When she was tasked with creating the organizational structure chart, she refused to acknowledge that the 27-year-old, who shared this Reddit thread, was senior to her. Apparently, the CEO refused to back the CFO when this hierarchical conundrum b…

Let this list serve as an unfortunate reminder that far too many people in this world do not think before they text, post, or send. Whether it's a message to a friend, a social media announcement, or an email to an employer, one would think that every semi-intelligent adult would consider checking their spelling before making their point. However, it seems that we're not dealing with semi-intelligent people here. This compilation of misspellings ranges from someone who posted their “alphet” fro…

After saving up for a trip for ages, this family suddenly realized that had a few unwanted guests trying to tag along. No one ever said it'd be easy to plan a family trip ! There are so many details that go into bringing a trip to fruition. Step one, though, is usually knowing who is going on your trip. This person, u/Altruistic_North1050, thought they were planning an 8-day trip with their husband and two kids , but then her sister-in-law got involved. It would seem that the husband's side of…

It's always funny when managers decide to be strict about their overtime policies. If they want employees to abide by a “no overtime without managerial approval” rule,

Regardless of whether or not you've achieved immaterial enlightenment or are neck deep in the current iteration of the social-media-fueled consumerist frenzy, it's more than likely that you possess things that are your favorite. Chances are these items have some sort of sentimental value—a keepsake from a loved one or photographs that are irreplaceable despite having no measurable value. They may have some monetary value, too, regardless of whether or not you'd ever want to sell them. Heck, may…
