Some people just don't take rejection well—in personal relationships as well as in the workplace, leading them to do and say obscene things that might be otherwise far out of character. Changing jobs is an essential part of growth; there's often only so much an existing role can teach you, and it's not uncommon for an organization to get too comfortable filling the role you're in, making a change the only way to move upwards. In this way, quitting your job can open the door to new opportunities…

Just because someone knows how to reset the router, doesn't meant they're an IT specialist. For some reason, C-level bosses and upper management (the kind of bimbos who are incapable of any sort of ‘tech’ tinkering) seem to think that every person born after 1990 can handle the specialized career of an experienced tech person, even when it's not in their job description. It's for the good of the company, every employee needs to step up rather than watch their boss hire a professional...

Everyone has been a part of that workplace where management absolutely refuses to listen. If you send them an email asking for something as simple as a new kettle for the break room, suddenly they don't know how to read; if you try and have a meeting with them to go over requests, suddenly there's no room in the schedule; corner them in the break room that still has a broken kettle, and suddenly they've never used their ears in their entire life. Try as you might; your chances of getting throug…

If a boss says that the real problem is your inability to budget well, that's perhaps the biggest red flag of all.

Here's hoping this manager learned that her power trip was certainly not worth it.

Leaving a job can be a difficult decision, especially when you have built strong relationships with your coworkers and boss. Even when the relationship is bad or nonexistent, deciding to leave isn't easy, as you're trading the known security of your current position for something unknown. Still, you need to weigh your current situation against the risks and decide whether or not your current role is going to get you to where you want to be. Ultimately, while leaving a job can be a challenging p…

People are expected to put up with too much these days in the workplace.

She asked for honesty, and honesty is what she received.

This guy's boss really entered his villain era, didn't he?

Time to get out of the swamp, I guess!

Sometimes all it takes is for one person to pull the plug and quit to make others realize they have other options as well. When that happens, the entire team can turnover within months, with the last of the team practically sprinting to get out of there before the building collapses on them (—will the last person out please get the lights?) Of course, there are usually a variety of issues bubbling away under the surface long before the entire thing boils over. Management changes are usually a d…

We've all had the experience of being overlooked by an employer.

Talk about getting out while you still can!

Ahhh yes, nothing like the good ‘ole fashion micro-manager who does more work trying to hover over your every move than actual work that needs to get done. Most people come across these types of delightful managers at least once in their career and boy is it a hoot. That was us being sarcastic, if you couldn’t tell… Micro-managers are the absolute WORST. The are entitled and think they can do your job better than you, so much so that they sacrifice their own duties to watch over yours and call…

We sincerely hope this employee doesn't fall for his boss's desperate shenanigans.

There comes a time in your career when you have to stand up for yourself and stop taking on too much.
