In any relationship, if you're not appreciated for your efforts, there's no better time to walk away than now. Of course, when it comes to employment, there are always considerations to be made for maintaining a source of income, but if an opportunity has presented itself for something better, you really should just go for it. That's what this worker decided to do when they had had enough of their terrible job. They received an offer for a big increase in salary and more flexible working condit…

At what point is lost stock value worth more than the last shreds of dignity and morale of your workers? Unsurprisingly, for many employers, the answer to that question is “Greater than $0.” Anyone who has worked in retail has experienced an employer who insists any and all missing stock must be the result of theft. It's a really enlightening conversation to have with an employer that reveals how that employer truly feels about their employees beneath the facade of family and pizza parties. I'v…

What should you do if you miss a scheduled appointment? Apologize? No! That would be far too simple… Attempt to gaslight them into thinking it was actually their fault instead?.. Now you're thinking!

We all know those in-person days and those WFH days look very different.

Best way to make enemies? Reduce their PTO!

There's nothing more infuriating than being relentlessly contacted by an annoying coworker while you're on leave. I mean, they're not even your boss, and for some reason, they feel entitled to having you do your work for them. This goes to another level when this coworker lies and makes up a story about how they're contacting you because the boss asked them to. This is a hard reach and easily verified by asking the boss themself. This is exactly what Redditor u/ver03255 did when a new coworker…

Some people have an immense propensity to abuse petty amounts of power. If you put some people in charge of filling a cup of water, they would find a way to do so with absolute authority. This manager got an incredibly petty bee in their bonnet about the shortened version of their own name that they prefer to use. They have taken to telling the employee that their name is "fake" and have even started penalizing the worker by confiscating shifts from them. The most insane part of this entire sto…

Isn't this kind of thing illegal?

Working from home has a lot of benefits: You can get personal tasks done during breaks and generally have much more self-determination over your time. Plus, there's no wasted time and money involved with commuting. You generally get more time to spend with your family due to increased free time, and this can do wonders for your personal relationships.

It's remarkable how shocked Karens get when they get a taste of their own medicine.

One day in the not-so-distant future, we will all have been replaced by robots and AI… Then there will be a golden age of no one having to do any work at all before the robots rise up and kill us — or harvest us to use as batteries. Some managers, however, seem to think that we're already at that point and expect their workers never to have any medical events; never need any food, breaks, or hydration; and to show up to work on a whim and to do as they're told, whenever they're told. The point…

This boss is going to make those final weeks a nightmare.

The audacity of some people to want to remain adequately hydrated. Don't they know? The first rule of the cashier's code is that you must remain thirsty at all times. We're talking parched here — not even an ounce of spit remaining that could accidentally flick onto a customer's face. After a cashier betrayed this sacred code, their boss was forced to instate a ban on all water sipping due to abuse of “water privilege.” That's insane… right? It begs the question of why some workplaces insist on…

Let's face it: being overdramatic is fun.

Talk about going out with a bang!

It's important that the medium used to convey a message matches the weight of that message.
