Standing desks may have become all the rage, but some people can't stand them. Being on your feet all day can be tiring and result in aches that can't wait to be eased by a well-deserved rest. Just ask anyone who works in retail, nursing, or the service industry and has to be on their feet all day. Workers from these sectors are probably permanently bewildered by office workers' obsession with standing. My own experience with standing desks has led me to believe that their sole reason for exist…

As the OP writes, their place of business has an issue with last-minute callouts, but the OP claims they aren't part of that problem. Instead, over the past 6 months, the OP has never called out of work, and rarely shows up late. But the…

Each generation has their own way of handling stressful situations. The older generation, like boomers and Gen X, are all about holding that shame within yourself. Millennials recognized this and are actively trying to end that thought process, but it is a process to unlearn these things. However, Gen Z is straight up over it.

This isn't a hot take, this is just what you agree to when you…

OP was working at a small factory where he had the managerial role of logistics and purchasing. Now, anyone who has had to deal with trucking brokers will know that the road isn't always exactly smooth. Sometimes it can get pretty bumpy, and that can result in a lot of phone calls for a manager. OP was receiving so…

Living in a world that isn't black or white makes things better for everyone, especially regarding the enforcement of minor infringements. Inflexible policy enforcement begets inflexibility—ask, and you shall receive. If you're going to nitpick the strict enforcement of rules, be ready for a staunch defense using the same reasoning. While punctuality is always a good skill to have in the workplace—being one of the classic ways of showing that you respect other people and their time—it's safe to…
