'The hypocrisy is unreal': Employee complains to CEO about delay in raises, CEO insists low pay is ‘a good thing’, employee quits job as a response

In every job, there is a red line that once crossed, it becomes crystal clear that you should not spend another minute in that place of work. Most employees might be willing to push through a lot of nonsense for the sake of their job, but they all have a limit, and when that limit is crossed, it is time to move on. The employee in this Reddit story was willing to put up with 60 hours of work per week, working weekends and nights, delayed raises, and many other red flags. The red line was when t…

‘Would you come back?’: A week after getting unexpectedly fired, employee gets contacted by former boss who offers them the job back, employee makes demands in response

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.

Sure, it is quite unlikely that something like this would hap…

‘No more work until pay goes up’: Manager dumps more workload on employee after firing majority of the team, employee refuses to comply without a raise, gets fired as a result

What is going on inside managers' heads when they decide to create literal chaos for their employees for no apparent reason? Do they really think that firing employees and then refusing to hire replacements will help their business? And what do they end up doing after they fire everyone on their team and have no one to do the job? Those are questions I would love to ask the management in this Reddit story, as they fired the majority of their team and expected one employee to take on all the wor…

Retired employee shares 4 important rules he's learned in the workforce: 'Management is NOT your friend'

'Won’t give me a raise, enjoy replacing me and the people I poach': Restaurant employee gets denied a 10% raise, quits and takes all of the best employees with him

You all trauma-bond and get super tight when you have to deal with all the Karens and entitled customers.

‘I stopped coming in one hour early’: Boss gets fired for causing University worker to stop volunteering unpaid work hours, leading to worker's promotion

'Enter my boss, who, for a University educated manager of a university group, had the personality of a mid-19th Century mill owner', are OP's exact words when describing their boss, who really stepped on the wrong person's toes when he lashed out at OP when he saw him reading a newspaper at work.
