Which bonus would you rather have: a subscription for a monthly jelly delivery, or a pair of socks? There's not a correct answer to that question, but those are two real things that some workers got as holiday bonuses . I never knew that a subscription to a jelly of the month club was such a popular gift. Numerous people cited that as a present their workplace gave them in this post from r/askreddit. That's a cool gift, I suppose, it's good to broaden your horizons and try new things. But you k…

Management at one car dealership messed with the wrong sales team. In trying to save themselves money, these managers soured their whole team's attitudes toward their jobs. If you've ever heard a great salesperson sell something, you know it's a true skill. Some people are just born with the ability to effortlessly talk someone into buying their product. They can make you go from not wanting a fancy car, to taking out your wallet and buying something way pricier than you intended. In the moment…

The minute that your company starts having ‘issues' with payroll it's time to run. Dust off that resume and practice your interview voice because the second that an accounting department starts fumbling your only reason to clock in every day, it may be time to throw up a peace sign and walk out the front door.

For better or for worse, everyone has had that passing thought about what they would do first if they won the lottery. Ok, maybe nepo babies aside, everyone else has considered this possibility. Would you do something practical like paying off student loans or getting a financial advisor to figure out how to manage all this money? Or would you do something completely shallow like go on an immediate shopping spree? Personally, I would do both at once. Heck, if I won the lottery, why can't I be a…

No good deed goes unpunished, as these poor contractors now know all too well. A group of contractors from Cheshire filmed themselves destroying a client's brand new fence. That's the opposite tactic that companies usually try to display on social media. Many of them will show photos or videos of things they've created in order to entice new customers. But these folks had a different message to send: respect us, or you'll pay. In the video below, a contractor explains that he completed a woman'…

A long time ago I was working for a small company in a niche industry. I represented 50% of the sales team and between me and my coworker, we balanced and managed a company making millions of dollars a year in sales revenue. Despite the herculean efforts between myself and my other coworker, we both took home a meager salary and made peanuts to the dollar. How is it normal that companies– even small ones –can finagle their team out of money that they're earning simply because of their title?

Is it illegal to discuss your salary with your coworkers? Technically no, but it can make some waves in the workplace that some employees– and management –definitely don't want to address. Perhaps some people get awkward about their financial privacy and don't want the soccer moms in the cubicle next door that they CAN DEFINITELY afford to sponsor their child's next fundraiser.

This couple has been disagreeing over how to spend their fun money . One of the best parts of adult life is having fun money left over at the end of the month to spend however you wish. After you've paid off the rent or mortgage, car payment, and bought all your groceries, having an extra 30 bucks to use on something special feels like the perfect treat. Some of us buy new shoes or clothes, while others head to the movies or plan out a weekend trip. Others love to upgrade to the newest technolo…

This bank is not banking. You'd think the one thing banks would know how to do is to hold and distribute money , but you'd be mistaken. If you've ever worked in retail or food service, then you probably know that needing more change for your cash register till is an ongoing thing. Especially on the busiest days, cashiers need refills on their quarters and dimes fairly often in order to avoid giving customers like $.65 in pennies and nickels . Even in a world where lots of people pay for almost…

Struggles of the common man

The amount of money people are expected to casually spend on their friends' weddings is one of society's greatest ills at the moment. From exorbitant costs spent on flights and hotels for bachelor/bachelorette parties to money spent on bridal showers and gifts for the actual wedding weekend, the expenses can feel endless and can almost certainly put someone into debt. No one said anything about how budgeting for your best friend's wedding would be as hard to do as budgeting for your own adult l…

Put your money where your mouth is.

"Don't cave. Assert dominance."

There's always a surprise that comes when learning about the contents of someone's will. It's honestly a way to stay entertaining and iconic beyond the grave, so if you've started thinking about it, it's definitely worth getting creative. These lawyers shared the craziest wills they came across throughout their careers and posted them on this r/AskReddit thread.

Our OP had the ultimate comeback to his entitled sister-in-law who tried to shame him for living in a trailer and working a blue-collar job. In front of their whole family, and in our OP's mobile home, she told her children to stay in school or they will end up like their uncle. She said she doesn't want her kids “working with their hands.” She backed her statement by saying that him and his wife are doing OK, but what if they wanted children? Little did she know he invited his family over to t…

Everyone has a friend who has a clever side hustle that you yourself could never pull off. The only exception, of course, is if you are the friend with the clever side hustle. People really are creative with how they make their money these days. After all, we don't really have much of a choice. No one is getting paid enough via their main source of income, so how could you not consider other options to support yourself further? The most creative of hustlers have discovered a way to get those ex…
