'The hypocrisy is unreal': Employee complains to CEO about delay in raises, CEO insists low pay is ‘a good thing’, employee quits job as a response

In every job, there is a red line that once crossed, it becomes crystal clear that you should not spend another minute in that place of work. Most employees might be willing to push through a lot of nonsense for the sake of their job, but they all have a limit, and when that limit is crossed, it is time to move on. The employee in this Reddit story was willing to put up with 60 hours of work per week, working weekends and nights, delayed raises, and many other red flags. The red line was when t…

'Give me another chance': Employee quits job due to manager's lack of training, a year later same manager asks them to come back, employee accepts the offer

Much like breaking off a relationship with a romantic partner, when you decide to leave your place of work, there are bound to be lasting feelings that remain once you leave. Good or bad, you had a relationship with the people at your workplace, your coworkers and boss, and leaving them also means leaving with an impact. Sometimes, similarly to a romantic relationship, that impact may inspire people to take action, just like an ex who decided to call their former loved one. In our case, the for…

‘Would you come back?’: A week after getting unexpectedly fired, employee gets contacted by former boss who offers them the job back, employee makes demands in response

If you ever got fired from a job you knew you did so well, you must have had this one thought cross your mind – ‘Fools, they made the mistake of their lives'. Meaning, as you leave the job, you know they will regret letting you go when they see just how much work isn't getting done without you. The best thing that can happen to you in this scenario, is for them to eventually crawl back on all fours, and beg you to take your job back. Sure, it is quite unlikely that something like this would hap…

After manager gets fired, his last act is to tell his employee that they are next on the list to be fired, leaving employee unsure who to believe: 'I'm so confused'

When employees get fired from their jobs, they are granted the rare opportunity to reveal every single secret they learned about their colleagues while working. They have nothing to lose or gain, so they can do whatever they want with little to no consequences. Say you knew one of your colleagues was about to get fired, and then you got fired yourself. You can choose to tell that colleague that they are about to be fired, so they can at least be better prepared for the day they will suddenly fi…

27--year-old CFO gets mistreated by CEO's 50-year-old administrative assistant, CFO gets even by letting assistant mess up report: 'I can hire a competent assistant now'

27-year-old CFO gets mistreated by CEO's 50-year-old administrative assistant, CFO gets even by letting assistant mess up report: 'I can hire a competent assistant now'

The audacity of this assistant is insane and maybe a little iconic. Charlotte was a 50-year-old administrative assistant who reported to the CEO of a small company. The CFO was a 27-year-old, and Charlotte was clearly threatened by the age difference. When she was tasked with creating the organizational structure chart, she refused to acknowledge that the 27-year-old, who shared this Reddit thread, was senior to her. Apparently, the CEO refused to back the CFO when this hierarchical conundrum b…
