Entry-level positions should never be expected to be available to clients 24/7– that's the work of upper management jobs who send one email a day and make a quarter million (+) per year. Life's all about balance, and when your work-life balance is disrupted, company hierarchies can get challenged...

You know, I've always been one of those people who can't help but wonder what's really going on inside the heads of my co-workers, especially over the years. I mean, there's got to be some juicy stories they've never shared with anyone, right? And just imagine for a moment, what if you could actually read their minds? Hear all those outrageous, hilarious, or downright shocking confessions they keep hidden! Then, I stumbled upon this Reddit thread that's all about the craziest things co-workers…

In today's edition of “We offer no flexibility but expect flexibility from you in return."

When employees attempt to navigate company budgets, usually they have to cut through an outrageous amount of red tape in order to get anything adjusted. Obviously, in the real world, budgeting is simplified with a little leeway, but when it comes to businessmen traveling on the company dime, if you're just a penny over budget, there will be heckity heckin' heck to pay.

As a manager, you're going to have to make hard decisions sometimes — you might even have to fire people from time to time. If you've ever been on the receiving end of being let go, you know it's one of the worst feelings in the world. Losing your job is incredibly personal; aside from making you feel bad about yourself, it means that you now have to scramble to find income to feed yourself and pay the rent. It's like the floor opens up underneath you, and you're free falling until you find the…

Whoever came up with the 40 hour work week should be dragged into the town square and bludgeoned by vegetables by the angry townsfolk.

This person probably never imagined that a company would take their bad review so seriously. As a company, you rely heavily on your star rating . Lots of places maintain five stars, or sometimes four, but once your business has three stars or less, lots of people will avoid it just based off of that. After all, if enough people have had a negative experience at your restaurant or store, why would a customer bother going in there? Instead, they'd rather go to a place brimming with five star revi…

If this isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.

This guy definitely dodged a bullet.

There's nothing worse than being uncomfortable at work; that's why you'll never catch me in a suit and tie. That and the fact that copywriting isn't really the right field for dressing to the nines. So I'll rephrase: That's one of the reasons why you'll never catch me in a suit and tie. Imagine being told that you can't do something because “the policy” or SOP only to come to find that it's not actually a written rule at all. The hilarious thing that happens here is how quickly something gets c…
