Nothing stings like the pain of looking at your schedule for next week and seeing a Saturday-Sunday 'CLOPEN'

If you're going to try and strictly enforce a rule, you'd better make sure that that rule is actually a rule first — otherwise, you're just opening a door that you might wish you had left closed. In this case, that door is a big hairy man rocking a tight pair of yoga pants. When this new manager joined the company, they made an immediate target out of the employee's uniforms; the original poster writes that they made a particular target out of the girls' yoga pants. This caring coworker thought…

It's surprising how colossal secrets are kept for so long within companies themselves, but more so when you think about how many employees have since left said company, and kept their mouths shut. Perhaps they signed an NDA, or they're afraid that they'll be sued regardless. Maybe they don't care, or they think others won't. Either way, it is of paramount importance for the world to find out about certain (bad) things, so that individuals can work together to put a stop to them. We all play an…

You'd generally expect your position on the pay scale of an organization to accurately reflect your contributions and experience in the role. Unfortunately, this usually isn't even remotely close to being the truth.

When you're in charge, it's important that you lead by example, setting the tone for how others should behave, conduct themselves, and work towards the business's goals. At this point, you're probably picturing a stoic, strong, silent, and hardworking; those are the qualities that society has taught us a leader should possess. But the reality is that a lot of “leaders” are lazy, petty, vitriolic, and prone to emotional outbursts. They're not in charge because they're a knight in shining armor a…

Fresh out of effs to give.

We've probably uttered this same phrase hundreds of times, but it's important to reiterate: "HR departments aren't there to help you… They're to help the company manage YOU , the ‘human resource.’ Awareness of this brutal truth has led workers to be weary of anything posted online from the perspective of an HR worker.

Melanie needs to learn something about boundaries!

This entitled, annoying coworker definitely had it coming!

Do your work friends truly know who you are? Some keep their regular friends and work friends separate. But does that create a mysterious air about you with your co-workers that could work not in your favor? That's recently what happened to one Redditor after he broke up with his girlfriend . He says the broke up was hard, but he just didn't feel a spark anymore, so he ended it. The couple lived together, so had to figure out moving out situations, so he decided not to break the news to everyon…

Future you is very excited.

I am proud to announce that I am better than you.

Workers of the world, you're halfway there! Lets face it, for many jobs, working 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. is a given. It's a long time to spend at your workplace — eight hours a day at least, answering emails or working with customers, and spending lots of time in close quarters with your coworkers . It certainly helps if you love your job, your coworkers, or your place of business, but not everyone can be so fortunate. As the people who created the memes below knew, sometimes you're going to get stuck…

If someone is going out of their way to do your job for you, it would probably pay to be kind and appreciative towards that person. Alas, the types of managers who are putting their subordinates in this position probably also lack the basic people skills necessary to make this realization. The thing is, there are all kinds of clever ways that you can “delegate” your own tasks to subordinate workers; as a manager, I've worked for certain organizations in the past that would dangle the carrot of…

Oh, the things you wish you could say to that coworker...

Never trust your coworkers!
