Let this story serve as a friendly reminder that giving two weeks is a courtesy, not a requirement. If you do end up quitting without giving two weeks, that does not mean you are relinquishing any other prior rights as an employee.

The coworker in this Reddit story definitely crossed some work boundaries, and she probably kn…

No details about the file's location, just a list of user IDs needing access. Well, great. Granting access wasn't exactly his and h…

As years went by, and costs of living grew more and more expensive, we have reached a point in which the minimum wage no longer accomplishes the one thing it was made to do. To read a story in which an employee with 20 years of experien…
