This poster claims to have set up a remote workstation for their tech job. And “in about a week” they were able to “write, debug, and perfect a simple script that performed [their] entire job.”

It's not unusual for people to be protective of their possessions in a workplace setting. In a generally shared space things have a tendency to go missing, and when those things are essential for completing your required daily tasks tracking them down can be a bit rage-inducing. Just ask any mechanic who has had sales staff all-up in their workshop tampering with the carefully organized chaos of their workstation. Like Milton with his red Swingline stapler, if one more thing goes missing they m…

This viral thread saw readers voicing their support for this worker who managed to find themselves a new role that offered a 30% increase in pay. Their decision to make a change came after their coworkers made clear to them just how valuable of an asset they were to the company. This thread was shared on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/lolwutRNB.

The internet is incensed over this viral thread.

Interviews go both ways.

That's a red flag.

This worker was getting a pretty hard time from her supervisor. The post lends one to believe that there were discriminatory motivations behind the supervisor's actions. However, as some commenters have pointed out, if the poster got her position in the first place because of nepotism then it wouldn't be completely unlikely that she has been getting a hard time because she is unqualified for her position. Whatever the reason there's a lesson here somewhere… And it's probably that companies have…

There's no way this is legal.

When you're a kid, you think that adults have everything figured out. As you age, you have the horrifying, dawning realization that nobody has anything figured out. That realization is reinforced when you enter the workforce and are exposed to your fellow “adults” who range from simply ‘faking it’ like the rest of us to being dangerously and dysfunctionally problematic. Those adults that you idolized when you were young often failed to learn the fundamental lessons that you were supposed to lea…

There are people in this world, and a dismaying number at that, who are only in it for themselves. They have no concern or regard for other people if it doesn't give them some advantage. It's a shame then that so many of these people go on to start companies or otherwise end up in positions of power. Perhaps that same unfeeling ruthlessness ultimately is what enables their success in such a brutal, dog-eat-dog world. This is evidenced by the well-known statistic that, while those with psychopat…

One night with smelly guy was enough to turn the tables.

"Well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions!"

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by the woman's son, u/nannerooni (OP), who posted the thread to the popular sub to share his mother's story and experiences with her previous employer. u/nannerooni explains that her boss was “filthy rich” but was as tight as he could be when rewarding the people who helped him get there. When the OP's mother told him of her offer, he offered to pay her more and admitted, “I haven’t been paying you the value you are worth to me.” Wouldn't…

Workers all over the internet shared their experiences after reading this viral tweet.

There's no better sign of a great manager than inspiring loyalty in their subordinates. Bonus points if you can achieve this while smashing targets. It reminds me of this quote from somewhere that I can't quite place… But I'm certain that it's from some sort of literary masterpiece. “The truest victory my son… is stirring the hearts of your people.” -Terenas Menethil II Well, this manager managed to do both the things listed above. She smashed targets and turned around stores, but when push cam…
