Some people assume the worst of others, declaring everyone else to be lazy, foolish, or otherwise plotting and scheming something nefarious. But let's be honest, they're probably doing so to deflect from their own shortcomings—which are probably the exact same things they're accusing others of. Having one of these people as your boss or employer is, of course, going to ensure you a terrible time during every moment you're at work, with constant accusations of slacking, skiving, and even stealin…

When a worker tried to report some concerning workplace issues, they didn't get the reception they'd hoped for. If you reported something wrong in your workplace, would anything change? At some jobs, the answer would be an immediate yes. But at many workplaces, pointing out issues isn't going to make you any friends. There's a good chance that management already knows about them, and aren't willing to change them. So when an employee rocks the boat, it gets the supervisors worried for their own…

Become unSUITable

Every adult has had a friend whose selfish behavior needs to be called out. Perhaps you don't have the guts to be the person to call an intervention, but you know the clock is ticking and someone is going to give this friend a piece of their mind at some point soon. Here, we have a Redditor who knew one of their friends named Sarah had an ongoing habit of conveniently “forgetting” her wallet when it was time to pay the bill at the end of a group dinner. She also had a habit of “forgetting” to p…

"This is a university library during finals week. I'm not walking through 10 floors and asking every study group if they know a [daughter's name] and telling her to call her mom."

Office drama really hits differently when it's the new hire stirring the pot. In this story, we've got a pretentious new hire who thinks the world revolves around her . And when it doesn't, she makes sure everyone hears about it. She asked a coworker to ride with her to a celebratory work dinner because, apparently, driving alone is just too much for her. (It makes you wonder how she manages to commute every day, doesn't it?) The coworker, who already had plans to ride with someone else, polite…

If you're going to lie to your boss , you'd better be careful about it. It's really risky: if things go wrong and your boss or colleagues find out you fibbed, you risk not only losing your job, but losing your career. In some industries, word travels fast, and jobs aren't going to hire someone they've heard bad things about. Losing your integrity means people will see you in a different light. Still, to some employees, it's just not that serious. Taking a sick day to visit the beach with your f…

A dress code? At work? Y'all are lucky I'm even here.

What would it take for you to abandon a friend's wedding ? Weddings take months of careful planning and organization. It's not usually just the brides or grooms planning the event: often their friends will pitch in with expenses or planning group events. It takes some of the pressure off of the engaged couple, and it can be a fun time for everyone involved. Well, in theory it's a fun time. As u/plogan56 can tell you, not every bridesmaid or groomsman event turns out as planned. There's an immen…

Some jobs seem like great opportunities in theory, but in practice, things can go awry pretty quickly. Here , we have a social media strategist who was hired by a boutique dentist's office and was tasked with making video content for his new boss. However, after requesting a W2 on day one, his new employer kept delaying drawing up any paperwork. It became crystal clear to the new hire that this was not going to work out, as he was putting in over 40 hours a week and still had not had the opport…

"This is why I support laws saying that canceling a subscription must be as easy as signing up for one."

There's a lot to complain about in this world—if you go looking for it… but who wants to live their life like that anyway? You're far better off putting that time and energy towards something productive and just getting on with it rather than falling into that line of thinking. Regardless, you're determined to find something to take issue with… the size of your toast probably isn't one of them worth worrying about—there are plenty of other things that should take priority on the list Who knows.…

Not every customer support worker is reading off of a script. That didn't stop this customer from insisting that one worker was doing that, though! Sure, when you call a customer service helpline, you'll have to answer a bunch of standard questions. You might have to tell them your age and address and maybe answer a few security questions. Some customers just have zero time for this, though. Even though answering all of the necessary questions probably takes about a minute, a lot of people get…
