It must have been challenging for this boss to read about how her own lack of professionalism. However, as Justin Timberlake himself once sang and then experienced, “what goes around… comes around.” Here, we have a former employee who quit after experiencing a severe case of burnout. Their horrible boss established a workplace environment that discouraged calling in sick

It seems that both parties are at fault here. On the one hand, you have the Redditor, who is the breadwinner of the family. He recently brought home a bonus of $3,000, a bonus that his wife wanted to be mostly used to pay for a wedding gift for her friend. Now, this friend frequently extends financial generosity to the Redditor's wife when they socialize together. It makes logical sense that the wife would want to pay her friend back for all the meals and financial assistance her friend provide…

More often than not, wedding planning results in more conflict than joyous anticipation. What should be exciting and celebratory ends up quickly falling to madness as family members impose unnecessary demands and usurp the event as if it is their own. Sure, perhaps your parents are contributing financially to some of the wedding festivities, but that does not give anyone the right to make decisions behind your back. Here, we have a bride whose mother fully went against her wishes and ordered a…

Well, at least they didn't make a big deal out of nothing

Since many offices have switched their layout to an 'open space' type of work environment, the reality is that there is not a lot of privacy in the office. Not only do many employees find themselves working when they face their coworkers all day long, but there is also a trend of getting glass doors for all the rooms in the office. This means that there is pretty much nowhere you can be at work without someone else being able to see you, maybe other than the bathroom. This ongoing trend leads e…

How many assignments do you reckon you submitted in your journey to find a job? A couple? Dozens? Hundreds? People who have been looking for a job for quite some time, have probably gone through dozens of assignments they had to provide to hiring managers and recruiters. Out of those dozens, at least some have been later used by the company they applied for, even if they didn't get the job. Admittingly, this happened to me a while ago. The company I interviewed for used my ideas on their social…

This college student is suing her parents for all they stole from her. The Redditor's great-aunt placed a high value on education for women and saved a ton of money to pay the college tuition for the Redditor and other women in the family. However, when it was time for the original poster (OP) to go to college, she found out that nearly all of those funds were used by her parents to help pay for her brother's wedding. Not only is that unethical considering the money was meant for OP, but also i…

Remember when going to the mall was the ultimate hangout? Back in the day, it was all about freedom—no parents, all the pretzels you could eat, and browsing racks of cheesy graphic tees with your friends. It wasn’t just a shopping trip; it was a whole vibe where we could spend hours roaming, people-watching, and if you were lucky, running into your crush. Fast forward to today, and the mall still seems to be a teenage hangout spot, but unfortunately, we live in the day of social media. Malls ha…

Everyone's been embarrassed by their parents at some point growing up. More often than not, we accept these embarrassing moments as a part of the adolescent experience. Rarely do we see children grow up harboring a desire to recreate said embarrassing moments but with the roles reversed. Here, we have a playful and wholesome moment when a now 38-year-old Redditor decided to get even with her mother by telling her how much she loves her in a public setting, something her mother used to do when t…

Engaging in a petty back-and-forth with your coworker is, more often than not, a recipe for disaster. However, sometimes you have no choice but to defend yourself. Here, we have a 29-year-old bartender who often was put on the closing shifts at the small but popular bar where she worked. One morning, her coworker who was on the subsequent opening shift tried to get her in trouble with their manager for a mistake she had not made the night before. So, the Redditor decided that the best way to ge…

If you're dad is being entitled, it's time to give him daughter issues.

Doing favors for people generally would be met with some sort of reciprocation or thanks, and you would generally expect to be compensated for any of your own resources you might spend helping them. Say, something like paying someone for gas when they've given you a ride or picked you up from the airport. It's not an equal transaction because you're not compensating them for their time or for the service they've provided you, but you're at least saving them from bearing the most direct financia…

'If it ain't broke don't fix it' could not be any more clear, and yet many companies, especially in the food industry, keep trying to change things that don't need changing. Surely, every single one of us can think of a food product that we used to love, but then something about it changed and suddenly tasted disgusting. I'm sure it will not come as a surprise to know that companies do that because they are trying to reduce costs and use cheaper products. And when you use cheaper products, well…

Imagine getting in trouble during your first week at a new job because you didn't stand up when your boss entered the room. Who does this employer think he is, a king? You would think in this day and age, given all the cultural conversations we have been having regarding employees' rights and backward workplace behavior, that this would not be allowed. And yet, the other employees in this office, from the bottom of the “food chain” to the top, seem to feel that this is the appropriate standard.…

If a workplace can get away with dumping new responsibilities on employees without giving them anything in return, you can bet they will give it a go. There are plenty of employees who won't notice they are being taken advantage of, and will gladly agree to more work with nothing in return. They will probably convince themselves that it is good for the experience, and at least they can put the extra responsibility in their resume, for the next job to come. If you are not interested in gaining '…

Some people are relentless, but that doesn't mean you should let them have their way. This male nurse had a coworker who could not accept his desire to not be her Man of Honor at her upcoming wedding. Of course, this is a delicate situation, and the Redditor's decision is entirely within his right. Furthermore, based on how the entitled bridezilla coworker responded, it's clear that he's making the right choice. She continued to press the matter further and ended up incessantly bothering him at…
