‘They can't keep getting away with this’: Manager comes to work sick and gets employee sick as well, then demands they spend hundreds of dollars on a doctor's note

Being forced to bring proof to work for being sick should simply not be a thing.

The fact that the manager in this Reddit story had the audacity to request…

“It was time to hatch our Dad-inspired plan,” this teenager explained as they outlined the hilarious prank they pulled on him. The best pranks are the ones that are harmless and leave the person being pranked feeling good. My personal favorite as of late is this guy who hands men flowers to surprise their dates! A stranger comes up behind the couple sitting together, and surreptitiously places a bouquet in the guy's hand. The surprised fellow then gets to hand the beautiful flowers to his girl,…

Employee told by boss to move surgery to Christmas break despite having 300+ hours of PTO saved: '[I] should be able to take this time off'

Imagine feeling the pressure to use the 300+ hours of PTO you saved on recovery from surgery and then hearing from your boss that you should consider pushing the surgery back to Christmas break. First of all, using vacation time for a medical emergency is already a sign of a toxic work environment. Secondly, the fact that this boss would rather have their employee delay their surgery so they can be available before the Holiday season says far too much about how much they value the well-being of…

It's always best not to let money come between friends, and it's even better not to let money come between distant acquaintances because, in those situations, you don't even have that tight of bond to keep things even-keeled when the going gets tough. Making matters worse is the fact that you're not complete strangers who can handle business without letting it get personal. You're better off not knowing them at all so that all parties can remain objective because you're never going to look at f…
