'I quit.' Manager quits after lazy Karen subordinate reports him to HR

It's incredibly frustrating when someone in your workplace gets away with downright obscene behavior, and no one is doing a thing about it. You might think that that's what the HR department is for, but in a lot of organizations, they're content to sit on their hands and let the worst offenders get away with anything but murder—just as long as they don't have to deal with any conflict or rocking boats. As a manager, this can present an incredibly difficult problem; you can be as accommodating a…

Why does it feel like there's nothing more anxiety-inducing than navigating my interaction with the pizza delivery guy?

This bride and groom might as well just elope at this point. There's already too much drama about this ceremony. For starters, of course, we want to acknowledge that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a dry wedding. We understand and are sympathetic to those wishes. But to choose to cut wedding costs by refusing to provide any other beverages is simply too far. You might as well tattoo the words “My Wedding is Boring” to your forehead.
