New management always finds a way to demotivate workers, usually via micromanagement, but in this case, the opposite is true. There are countries where labor laws are a dime a dozen, and in this specific one, employees have a certain amount of hours required to work each month; every hour short of that is deducted from monthly payment, and every hour beyond is paid as overtime. This employee used that to his advantage when his new boss decided to mess with him, attempting to deduce his salary b…

Unpaid working trials are a thing of the past—well… they should be according to the labor laws in a lot of states and countries. The unfortunate reality is that this is still a practice that takes place in a lot of industries and in even more organizations. There's nothing like having someone actually do the work to ensure that they can do it… right? Companies often have other goals in mind with this strategy, lot of clever-as-they-are-unethical hiring managers will use these “working interview…

There are people in this world who will simply never learn.

She can't understand why someone wouldn't want to work for 100 dollars a week.

Being a corporate suit is like being a hamster in a cage. Your life is pretty plushy, but at the end of the day, all you do is run around on that little wheel of yours, while you mindlessly imagine what it's like in the real outdoors. The corporate cage turns nepo babies, rich folks, and country club members into feral wolves, while it turns the rest of us into handsome blonde rodents with a 2 year life span . Hang in there, Hamtaro, the wheel will keep spinning even when you stop running, so p…

Everyone wants to think they have all the answers… but sometimes you don't know even half as much as you'd like to think. We would all do our best to listen to other people's thoughts and opinions before assuming that we have the best and only answer. This student and part-time waiter made the asinine assumption that his method for charging guests was superior to the method devised by his coworker. After claiming that her methods were making it more difficult for him, he insisted that they reve…

This teen is scratching their head wondering if they're supposed to share with a neighbor . The limits of neighborly kindness definitely apply here! This 16-year-old wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, asking about a situation that happened when their young neighbors — and the kids' entitled mom — came to visit. The OP says that they were playing with the kids, ages 7, 9, and 10, when they asked to play in her bedroom. The OP agreed, which might be mistake #1, because the nine year old quickly latched on…

This story could be the premise of a rom-com or a revenge flick. It's only one of those two options!

Parents, you may tell a few little white lies to your kid every now and then… but kids don't always realize you're stretching the truth.

When a couple decides to have children, it's usually an unstated agreement that the children are BOTH adults' responsibility. However, sometimes folks forget that when you rear a human child, it is a ton of work on your own and is a task best suited for both parents to pitch in. Now, when you have 4 kiddos, that is a responsibility that is obviously quadrupled. One working woman and mother of four kids, recently got into a fight with her deadbeat husband about their shared parenting and Reddit…

Here's a newsflash to Karens everywhere: airline employees can't control the weather.

Ew, people.

This manager took issue because one of their workers was taking discarded bread loaves from back-of-house disposal. Anyone who has worked in food service or the service industry has witnessed this at some point: perfectly good food going to the bin just because they can't move the product and donating the food to a shelter would present a “lawsuit risk.” So away it goes, right into the dumpster. It's always a shame to see all perfectly good food go to waste—even if you have plenty to eat at hom…

A food delivery driver got an order that was neither food nor deliverable. Delivery work can be hard – dealing with cranky Karen customers , working with restaurant staff who rush you along, and of course, driving for hours. But this guy's problem is a little out of the ordinary. He's used to delivering the normal items, but not an oversized load like this! As u/nabiscosoursnac shared to a delivery subreddit , he accepted a delivery without knowing what was in the order. Once he saw that it was…

It's essential to maintain a good relationship with your kid's teachers, but sometimes they're such idiots that it can be difficult, if not impossible to have any genuine desire to do so. Teachers are still people with opinions, and although I condone free speech, I am also able to pass serious judgment on their opinions. This teacher in particular called up one of her student's mothers one day out of the blue, and wasted no time in telling her that ‘she must stop packing her son such disgustin…

There is a quote that is often attributed to the likes of Bill Gates and Walter Chrysler that goes something along the lines of “Always choose a lazy man to do a hard job because a lazy man will find an easy way to do it.” Whether or not either of them actually uttered this string of words (or was the first to do so) is up for debate. But the sentiment rings true in many instances that require innovation: Why hire the guy who is content to do things by the letter when you can hire the guy who w…
