When employees attempt to navigate company budgets, usually they have to cut through an outrageous amount of red tape in order to get anything adjusted. Obviously, in the real world, budgeting is simplified with a little leeway, but when it comes to businessmen traveling on the company dime, if you're just a penny over budget, there will be heckity heckin' heck to pay.

Ahh, family. Can't live with ‘em… and can’t live with 'em. While being one of the greatest and most fulfilling parts of life, family can also be one of the most toxic and infuriating. For some reason, being around family brings out the worst in us as well. As soon as we're back around our parents, we cease to be the functioning and capable adults we are and instead become our teenage selves, reacting with exasperated vitriol to any attempts our parents make to guide us. Our parents simultaneous…

This isn't just a poorly designed house, it's a poorly designed home. Imagine you buy a house before it's been constructed. You check out the blueprints, and you're no construction expert, so you figure the pros must know what they're doing. But as you can see from the images below, not every architectural project goes as planned! I'm obsessed with the builders who installed an escalator right into the wall of a building. It's the definition of “that's not my job.” They have

There are many justifiable reasons to break up with someone: lying, cheating, manipulation, etc. Much to the chagrin of some of you folks, breaking up with someone because they're a bad texter is not exactly the same thing. The same goes for being woken up from a nap or not liking that they're a Julia Roberts fan. We love the concept of having high standards in theory. Of course, settling for just anyone will only lead to disaster. However, to that end, if you spend the entire time that you're…

This new employee just didn't have what it took to succeed on an oil farm . One oil farm employee worked as a data entry specialist, and encountered this new worker who absolutely refused to take orders from her. Her “orders” were just filling out basic paperwork… but somehow this Florida Man thought that that was emasculating to him. Not to mention that the OP was just 17 years old at the time, which just gave this Florida Man more reason to be angry with her. As people in the comments noted,…

Everyone wishes and hopes for an empty seat next to them on a flight. If you're traveling alone and it's not a full flight, you immediately find yourself praying to whomever and thinking about all the reasons in your head about why you deserve this, that you've been good this year… Yes, getting the row to yourself on a plane is the adult version of a Christmas miracle. Now, the level of predictability when it comes to how full your flight might be obviously varies. This larger passenger insiste…

Food is a topic people always bicker over. Parents, siblings, roommates… the closest depiction of reality I can think of at the moment in order to give a proper example of what I mean is Joey, from 'Friends'. He doesn't share food, and most people wouldn't appreciate having their own scrumptious morsels being taken out of the fridge and plopped into somebody else's mouth, either. Especially if that somebody didn't ask for permission. u/BotsAnonymous expressed his disdain for their vegetarian ro…

While it's often said that the early bird gets the worm, for some reason—in the workplace—it's often the loudest bird who gets the worm. While yelling at worms isn't necessarily a great career move, it stands to reason that one should always advocate for themselves and their work whenever possible. After all, everyone's going to be doing the same thing, and if you don't add your voice to the worm-yelling narrative, the rhetoric may turn against you—or at least out of your favor. It's a bird-eat…

This bakery owner kneaded a reality check, and—well… he sure got one. Trust some small business owners to think that their power over their workers is absolute and that they own and orchestrate every part of their lives. Unfortunately, in communities where jobs are scarce, this can literally be the case. Whilst traveling and working in cafes in small towns, I personally witnessed a local cafe owner, an absolute demon of a woman, torpedo the job prospects of a single mother who worked for her. A…

There's always that one coworker who makes the company lunches harder for literally everyone else. Now, if you're not aware, company lunches serve a very specific purpose for any organization. They serve as a brief escape for employees who might feel less than sufficiently supported on a day-to-day basis in the office. Regardless of whatever the intent is, we're here for anything on the company's dime. As long as these lunches are not used as a way to replace more serious issues like employee c…

Sometimes telling the truth doesn't set you free.

Being pressured to quit is just as terrible as getting fired.

We have this ideal that we hold that professionals will help us with our issues in a non-judgmental and unbiased manner—when that's often never the case. The reality is that these people are people, too, and have their own biases, flaws, and personality quirks that, on some level, prevent them from giving us the same type of care we'd receive if they were a blank slate. This means that, depending on who you are, what issue you might have, and what healthcare professional you're seeing, you migh…
