Nobody likes to be forgotten or left behind, whether on purpose or by total accident. When someone you know is organizing an event, and you find out you are not invited, even if it was unintentional, it is such an awkward conversation to have, that you often don't know how to approach it. What are you even supposed to say? “Hey, was I not invited because you don't want me there, or did you just completely forget I existed?” However, if something like that does happen to you, it is still better…

Imagine being a hardworking employee who truly puts in the work, only to find out that someone else in the office is claiming credit for your hard work. What would you do in this situation? Naturally, if you have proof that a coworker is taking credit for work they didn't do, the best thing to do is talk to your boss about it, and ask them to step in. However, this story might suggest that asking your boss for help might not be the right call. The employee in this Reddit story turned to her man…

A transplant from the sales floor thought that he could out-IT the tech team.

Startups... amirite?

We all, at some point, have to do things at work that are not part of our job description and have nothing to do with our actual role. When one is asked to do something outside of their role, they tend to agree, mostly to stay on good terms with their manager, and in hopes that doing so will benefit them in the future. It is all part of a workplace strategy in order to get ahead. So what can one do when they are not only asked to do things above their pay grade but also blamed for mistakes made…

Sometimes (most times), the only way to deal with a toxic workplace environment is by leaving it, because no amount of hard work or money can change that place. There comes a time to admit it is definitely not worth risking one's mental health over it. However, it might be tempting to stay in a toxic workplace when one is being offered a raise providing they stay, which is what happened in this Reddit story. OP (original poster) was an employee in a family business who was constantly being bull…

Become unSUITable

A dress code? At work? Y'all are lucky I'm even here.

"So they're paying your rent to act as a workplace?"

In every scenario, there can be more than one way to do things correctly, especially when it comes to work. Not everyone, even if they have the same role, does everything in the exact same way, and that is completely reasonable. Every employee finds their own rhythm and methods to do their job, and as long as the job gets done well, there shouldn't be any problems. When a new hire comes in, it makes sense that they would turn to their coworkers for guidance, but it is not a necessity. If they f…

New management seemed to think that they knew how to do his job better than he did

It's unbelievable that these kinds of people actually exist!

This consultant is adamant that she should be allowed to wear whatever she wants to work. Too bad her coworkers don't feel the same way! Up next, read about these people who had some rough days at work, like one person who revealed they " Just lost thousands of dollars worth of product at work . Most likely getting fired.”

Many people recommend that when you take a day off work, you should also take a day off your phone. Not because it is better for your mental health, but because that way, no one from work can actually reach you and start asking you for favors. This might sound extreme, but if I have a quiet Friday night at home, I usually completely turn off my phone and sometimes I don't turn it back on until midday on Saturday. Not only do I enjoy being completely present with my friends and family, but I als…

When one leaves a place of work, especially when they are unhappy in said workplace, they usually hope to leave everything about it behind. Nobody wants to be reminded of unpleasant bosses, or frustrating challenges they had to deal with as an employee, all people want to do is to move on and aim for a better place in the future. If an employee quits their job after they were wrongfully investigated for ‘unprofessional conduct', you can be absolutely sure they do not wish to reopen that can of…
