Who among us wouldn't quit their job for double the salary ? It'd be a hard question to say no to, that's for sure. No matter how much you love your job, you could vastly improve your life with double the amount of money. Usually, when you find a job that could double your salary , you have to inform your company that they either need to match that amount, or you'll be leaving. It's not personal, it's just finances. But still, some bosses think that your loyalty to their company should be stron…

Sometimes you really don't want to see how the sausage is made. You just want that final product , and you want to enjoy it without knowing all of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that it takes to create said product. This is certainly the case at many restaurants , just as one example. You just want to sit down in the seating area and have a nice meal. You don't want to think about how long it's been since they cleaned the grease trap, or how there are probably at least 10 cockroaches or mice…

Maybe we should just take off until the new year.

By now, we all know that job interviews are basically a game of strategy. As a candidate who wants to win the game, all you need to do is find the best answers to satisfy the interviewer, regardless of your thoughts or feelings, and you are one step closer to securing the job. It is well established that people constantly lie in job interviews and simply say what the interviewer wants to hear, just to get the job. ‘Why do you want to work for our company?’ is an age-old question and its reply i…

We all want and need an advocate in the workplace, someone to have our backs in case other coworkers or authority figures start taking us for granted. Of course, in an ideal world, that's what human resources should be, but let's be realistic for a second. Human resources is all about protecting the company at the end of the day. Sure, they might project an image of solidarity with employees but always be careful not to be fooled by this facade. Now, this manager was against their boss's reques…

"Never pre-game a work event"

And he might even get bankrolled by his supporters on Reddit...

Much like breaking off a relationship with a romantic partner, when you decide to leave your place of work, there are bound to be lasting feelings that remain once you leave. Good or bad, you had a relationship with the people at your workplace, your coworkers and boss, and leaving them also means leaving with an impact. Sometimes, similarly to a romantic relationship, that impact may inspire people to take action, just like an ex who decided to call their former loved one. In our case, the for…

It's often said that anyone at a comedy show is fair game, but even then, there's a limit to what constitutes “fair.” Even if you're up on a stage, you can't expect to just go around saying what you want without any consequence. If you go after the person who is basically responsible for whether or not you get the gig, you'd better do so tactfully and not

If you ever got fired from a job you knew you did so well, you must have had this one thought cross your mind – ‘Fools, they made the mistake of their lives'. Meaning, as you leave the job, you know they will regret letting you go when they see just how much work isn't getting done without you. The best thing that can happen to you in this scenario, is for them to eventually crawl back on all fours, and beg you to take your job back. Sure, it is quite unlikely that something like this would hap…

Getting stuck with bad neighbors is a reality that many of us would never wish upon another person. You move in, hoping for polite waves and the occasional shared snowblower, not a self-appointed BFF who thinks you're their personal handyman. You want to be kind and neighborly, sure, but when the requests start coming in daily—sometimes multiple times a day—it’s a whole different story. And some people take it as even more of an invitation to bug you throughout the day if you work from home. Pe…

Giving full credit for something to the person who "finishes" it is generally a poor idea, as it completely discounts other contributors' efforts. You see this with things like sales where the person to “finalize” the deal gets credit for the sale against their figures, regardless of whether or not they were the one to work on it originally. Really, absolute policies might be easy and cut and clean, but they create nightmares down the line whenever there are situations that aren't as black and…

Gambling is a tricky game. You almost always lose, but the one time you win, it hooks you. Or, in this case, makes you rethink your entire life. That’s what happened to this employee who won big in a poker tournament, walking away with a six-figure check. Instead of just celebrating quietly, he decided to quit his soul-sucking job on the spot. Can you blame him? Life’s too short to endure endless corporate struggle when you’ve just hit the jackpot. But when word got out about his winnings, his…

When employees get fired from their jobs, they are granted the rare opportunity to reveal every single secret they learned about their colleagues while working. They have nothing to lose or gain, so they can do whatever they want with little to no consequences. Say you knew one of your colleagues was about to get fired, and then you got fired yourself. You can choose to tell that colleague that they are about to be fired, so they can at least be better prepared for the day they will suddenly fi…

"The joy as I said, 'No thanks, I'm the manager and I will never book you again.'"

This person is clearly an entrepreneur, but they may not have gained their money in the most ethical way. Some people just make money with ease. It seems like no matter where they go, they're picking up a side gig or talking to someone who has a quick job for them, earning them $20 or $100 here and there. Up next, this woman invited herself on her sister-in-law's 8-day-long vacation, leading her SIL to think that “ We don't need to be around each other 24/7 .”
