It takes a lot to get people to walk out of an interview, but it clearly happens more often than we think!

A tech CEO reported firing two engineers who were caught working a second full-time job in this LinkedIn post that went viral.

Why would you argue against your own working freedoms? Pre-pandemic flexible arrangements were hard enough to come, and post-pandemic corporate life is already quickly forgetting them—we see more and more posts every day about the evaporation of remote work. This workplace is a perfect example of the recently-trending term “Crab Mentality”—which basically boils down to “If I can't have it neither can you.” The term originates from the (alleged) behavior of crabs who, when trapped in a bucket, w…

No matter how nice they are, do not trust HR...

Raise your hand if you're stuck at work with no idea what to do about your so-called 'career'

Nothing says dedication to your job like timidly eating lunch at your desk, nervously checking the door every few minutes to see if today is the day your overlords have decided to grace you with their presence. Let's be real here—it sounds like this manager is a little bit out of their depth. They're the kind of person who only ended up in a position of authority because they knew precisely which (two) cheek(s) to kiss—knowledge they applied regularly and with vigor. This email is a testament t…

This grocery store cashier was the workhorse of their manager's dwindling team; When their employer began running a promotion offering higher wages to fill vacant roles, the cashier asked for a raise which they were denied. They then found themselves training the new hires, who were making more than they were.

The lengths people will go to avoid time in the office are truly inspiring.

Be careful what you wish for… When you're managing people, you really need to be careful with your choice of words, especially if you're the type of tyrannical manager who expects your instructions to be followed to the letter. If you unintentionally leave room for interpretation in your autocratic tirades, expect it to be interpreted in the most ridiculous (or disadvantageous possible ways.) That's what happened when this boss told their subordinate to “be better at timekeeping” after they wer…

I bet this employer can't wait for the android revolution that we've been promised. After all, an android wouldn't need to spend two minutes on the bathroom break that results from being properly hydrated.

Unfortunately, not being recognized or appreciated for your contributions in the workplace is a pretty commonplace occurrence. Often your efforts can be taken for granted or just completely fly under the radar. This is the reason why people who are expert communicators, schmooze, or just generally work at self-promotion often find themselves in stations far above those who would rather die than engage in small talk at the office, and often end up in positions that exceed their actual capabiliti…

As long as there are bosses, there will be times they fail you.

People are talking a whole lot about "quiet quitting" but not a lot about "quiet promotions"

I guess boomers really are desperate to find people who are willing to work for them.

When will boomers realize that going to work sick does not make you brave?

If your boss thinks improving work culture means mandating more in-person time, then these work fails are for you!
