She's stunned

"Pfft, bye Felicia"

New bosses love to bring in new ideas, barreling into situations they know next to nothing about and waving their authority in order to make broad-sweeping changes that they say are for the better. Meanwhile, everyone else glances sideways at each other and braces for the worst. You can probably see where this is going, as it always does with these types of situations: short-sighted cost-cutting hamstringing vital operations that only cost the company more in the long run when everything goes b…

Some people are blissfully unaware of the world they live in. If they've lived a sheltered life, they may not know about the ordinary things that lots of people deal with on a daily basis. If you've ever had a friend who makes more money than you, maybe you already know this feeling. Naturally, no friend group is all going to be making the same exact salary. Some people in the friend group are probably just paying rent and living paycheck to paycheck in a lifestyle with no frills. Meanwhile, th…

Some people refuse to buy any property that's on an HOA-owned territory for reasons just like this. A Florida condo owner is wondering what to do after their terrible HOA decided it would nearly double the monthly dues! It's tough out here for a lot of Americans.

But their HOA ( homeowners association ) has d…

Yes, your family should come first, but maintaining healthy boundaries is just as important as maintaining a strong family connection. Having stated that what would you do if your brother came to you for assistance but, in truth, refused to take any necessary action to support himself? Would you remain firm in demanding that your sibling learn how to fend for himself, or would you surrender in silence under the pretense of family loyalty? The brother who is frustrated is described in the story…

Some people just love flexing how much money they have . They can't help it. They've made good money, and they want everyone to know about it. Oftentimes, people like this will pick a particular name brand, and then buy a bunch of bags and shoes and clothing all with that branding on it. It can get a little ridiculous when that person is dressed from head to toe in one brand. Other people spend every penny they have on expensive cars . There's nothing wrong with being a car person, but some peo…

You get that fresh paycheck in your bank account, and it feels like the world is your oyster. Time to treat the besties to brunch, or have an extended shopping spree over a weekend. But once that money is gone, you get that pit in your stomach that makes you realize you have bills to pay still…Oops! Everyone has a different approach to their finances.

Each year the employees were shut down and told they weren…

One business owner is getting fleeced, and she doesn't even realize it. Local coffee shops are a great place to get some work done on your laptop, meet up with friends to talk, or grab a quick bite to eat. While some locations only carry coffee and tea , a lot of them carry food products---and they aren't afraid to mark up prices quite a bit. The new owner of one coffee shop is still trying to figure out her profit margins. The owner of the baked goods shop she's buying from noticed that she's…

When a fully-fledged adult flops financially, they can usually move back in with their parents to bounce back. There's that memorable stigma of the 'wanton failure' moving back in with mom and dad that's been ingrained in our heads since the dawn of rom-com rock bottom movie intro. But none of us are ever prepared for the moment that our parents move back in with the kids.

This woman managed to turn lemons into lemonade, even as she was getting fired from her job . We admire her can-do attitude, and her kid clearly did too, since they shared Mom's story to the malicious compliance subreddit. When companies do less-than-legal activities, they often try to make it seem totally normal. They need their employees to believe it's perfectly normal to bend the rules… and bend them some more… and keep bending them. By the time an employee has fully broken the rules, they…

According to these people, you don't always have to work hard for your money . On a rare occasion, the money will come right to you. Every now and then, you might stumble across a job that seems just too good to be true. It's good to have a healthy dose of skepticism for things of that nature, but sometimes it really is the real deal. For some jobs, having an employee on standby is the only thing that's required. There's one industry where this is endemic: film and TV. For actors and crew alike…

The story that follows is from a resentful employee who has to commute every single day between the main office and his secondary office. Everything was going great, and OP was doing rather well despite spending long hours on the road; however, when a new bookkeeper joined the company, everything to…

Travelling for work could be so simple, if only the accounting department would let these little money issues slide. However, the accounting department is not in the business of letting things slide: they need to know where every single penny in the business is going to.

This person had some odd restrictions on their bank account . It wasn't an issue until one day, he needed to take out lot of money all at once. As a South Korean worker employed by an American company, this person has a few restrictions on their bank account. U/luther_williams shares that unlike American banks, he has a limit of how much money he can take from his account each day. It's not even very much money: only about $216 per day, which is around 250,000 won. With the way inflation has bu…
