We've all been the new kid at a job.

Dealing with clients is not a simple undertaking. That being stated, how would you react if your micromanaging employer followed you around the office all day long? The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) worked in customer service for a considerable amount of time. As a result, one might think he was immune to the everyday chaos. But when his boss reprimanded him twice in one day for things he hadn't even done, it became too much for him to handle, and…

"This isn’t a call to leave because our kids need great teachers & role models now more than ever, but know that if you think it’s your time to step away that things are about to change in your world for the better in ways you could only dream of."

"An intern “failing” at ANY task is not a failure of the intern, it’s a failure of the leadership of the organization."

Being told that there's absolutely no way you can or should possibly be paid more for your work when you've taken on the responsibilities of not one but two vacant levels of management above your actual role is disappointing for certain. It's almost more disappointing, though, when you get another job offer for 32% more than your current pay, and when you tell your employer the news, they're more than willing to give you the money you originally asked for and more. As always, in situations such…

Some people just don't respond well to rejection, even when that rejection comes in the perceived form of an employee handing in their notice even if they've never treated the employee well or cared much for them in the first place. Anyone who has been around the block a couple of times in their career will know how this goes. They'll say it's about betrayal and the fact that you're leaving your ream high and dry with a touch of “How could you do this to us,” this might be followed by silent tr…

The problem with writing or saying too much and flagging issues with your organization is that leaders will just default to considering you to be the problem, especially in instances where they are actually the problem but don't want to own it. And, let's face it, any issues within an organization are issues with leadership. At the end of the day, they're setting the course, and issues fall on their shoulders. But, they're not going to want to accept that, so someone who is flagging issues, whe…

If you've ever daydreamed about quitting your terrible job, consider this your sign to find a happier career path. There are a few different ways one can quit a job . The proper, respectable way is to write out a professional letter stating that this is your two-week notice. But the folks replying to this r/AskReddit thread couldn't stand to work at their awful jobs for another moment. They took the less professional but way more satisfying route of rage-quitting right on the spot. As you can r…

What's the point of having vacation days if you're not allowed to use them?

This hardworking employee used their jilted past to fuel a resignation fire that would burn down the entire company, taking this lazybones, absentee boss with it.

This person really knows when to walk away from a job that's no good for them anymore. They happen to have impeccable timing! Some managers at retail stores will do the absolute bare minimum. A lot of them have been in retail for ages, and they feel they've earned the privilege of getting off the sales floor and cocooning themself in a back room to goof off for their whole shift. It's apparently their prerogative to do so… but their employees aren't happy about it! Instead of getting help from…

This restaurant was so strict that these workers just couldn't take it anymore. There's only so much you can ask from someone before they finally call it quits and decide to find employment somewhere better. Next up, there are a ton of bizarre things for sale online , like one person who's getting rid of their “Free rooster… I'm scared to go near him, he's aggressive towards people.” What a deal!

What are the professional rules on “take-backsies”?

Training the new person requires an endless supply of patience. They're going to have lots of questions, make a ton of mistakes, and they'll take up a lot of the time that you've set aside to do your own work. It's also really rewarding to train a new person if they're learning at the right speed. But this person wasn't happy about their trainee. U/ForceAccomplished890 was training the person who was going to replace them! They knew that their boss really disliked them (never a good position to…

Most people in this world fall into two camps: Those out to make things better for everyone and those in it for their own gain and to meet their own ends. Sure, this concept sounds quite reductive (it is), and the reality is things aren't quite so black and white… It's more than likely people will play to both sides depending on their current needs and motivations. Still, ultimately, I maintain that if you distilled people down to their true purpose and intention, you'd find the original statem…

This is your sign to ask for that raise, and don't you dare lowball yourself!
