The number of people on LinkedIn who need to stop and read the room is growing astronomically.

It's never a good thing when an employer forces their employee to miss a significant life event in order to assert their authority over the employee's life and ensure that they never dare to question the importance of their work again. Such instances are dehumanizing and toxically reinforce the bizarre idea that our work is more important than our family and health. It's shocking then to think that a parent could do this to their own child who works for them. Well, that's exactly what happened…

A job interview goes both ways. You are trying to see if you want to work for the company just as much as they are trying to work for you. We've said it time and time again, but job interviews are just the absolute worst. They're the ultimate facade of our society, with both parties putting on their bravest face in order to sell themselves to the other. The interviewee is often trying to sell how loyal and confident they are. The interviewer, on the other hand, sells their dominance and superio…

It's never a good idea to double down on a mistake. Usually, if you're doing this, you're so narcissistically blind to your own faults that you don't see anything you do as a mistake in the first place. It's the same logic as going “double or nothing” on a bet once you've already lost all your chips. It just doesn't make logical sense to put yourself even further in the hole by refusing to know when to back away. Well, this HR department clearly doesn't understand the principle of “double or no…

There's nothing worse than going above and beyond what your job description requires and getting no recognition for it. Hold on, I take that back, let's revise… The only thing worse than getting no recognition for going above and beyond in your job is actually getting reprimanded for it. That's exactly what happened to this janitor when they found themselves at odds with their micromanaging boss who was determined to find flaws in their work. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ maliciouscompl…

This boss clearly got what she deserved. It's like she was trying to get fired.

There's nothing more infuriating and invalidating than being undervalued or underpaid for your work. Bonus points when an employer or client just flat-out refuses to pay you or tries to gaslight you into ing you less. Well, when Redditor u/cleverbiscuit1738 was called into their place of work at 6 am for training they were told by their manager that they “Don't need to punch in until 8:30" while being abruptly whisked away from the punch-in clock. Their shift didn't usually start until 8:30 and…

This spa owner clearly doesn't know what the labor board is capable of.

It's the unapologetic pettiness that really get me.

Have you ever read a LinkedIn post and NOT wanted to roll your eyes?

You can tell the hypocrisy of a management decision by how quickly it gets swept under the rug when someone calls them out. A similar phenomenon happens when a bad decision is made; everyone tells them that it is bad. They don't listen until it's too late and then pretend that nothing happened when the inevitable fallout occurs.

The manager of a pizza restaurant scolded this worker for not laughing at a customer's uncomfortable joke about her weight.

This team leader realized they needed to take a stand when their meddling middle manager tried to increase their bonus by leaning up their team and pushing higher volumes of work onto fewer people. So, this effective and compassionate team leader pulled each of their team members aside and instructed them not to put hours of their own unpaid time into extra projects to appease the higher-ups. Their silent suffering and extra effort would do nothing but convince the higher-ups that they had made…

There's a reason why they call it Work and not Fun

This former employee shared a group text from his boss pushing everyone to give 100% even though he's wildly behind on wages.

This employer has allegedly threatened their staff with charges and imprisonment if they refuse to stay after their 10-hour shift for “voluntary” overtime.
