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.

Working an hourly job makes you appreciate every second you spend on the clock. Depending on your hourly wage (and how bored you get on your shift) you might even know the mathematical breakdown of what you earn per second when you're on the job! So when the bean counters in the back start skimming quarters and dimes off of your daily shift, what does that add up to?

Employees do the work, while bosses do… what exactly? When it comes to daily operations in your workplace, there's nobody who knows stuff quite like you do. After countless hours watching the time click by on the dated analog clock in the corner, employees are specifically trained to know every detail about their office space.

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.

Struggles of the common man

The bean counters in the top floor offices with polished floors and ergonomic chairs don't understand what it's like to be out in the streets actually doing the labor of the company. As every blue collar employee or door-to-door salesman knows, when you work out in the real world it's going to be utter chaos– and nothing like how the office employees expected it would be.

"Don't cave. Assert dominance."

Breakups are the worst —just ask this person. Falling in love is magical, that's why it's called the honeymoon phase. Couples get to know each other and discover endless things to love about each other. The honeymoon phase doesn't last forever, though. Life goes on and things get complicated and the next thing you know, the relationship is on the rocks. Not every romance is meant to last forever---some only last for a few seasons. This guy also had the unfortunate revelation that his wife was c…

We all get a little nervous to ask for a raise. Even when an employee is due a salary increase, it's still a strangely awkward encounter to try and negotiate an improved wage with the higher ups. It just feels illegal. No matter who you are, there's always a tiny voice in the back of your head that spreads doubt. I'm pretty sure that's called imposter syndrome, right?

More work equals more money. It's the golden rule of business, but in most company environments, this simple equation gets over-complicated with variables like pizza parties, ‘company culture’, and bosses saying that you're a family.

This company decided they weren't going to pay overtime to their employees anymore. Maybe they should've thought about their very perishable product before implementing that rule! Being a truck driver is a crucial job in America. It's how we receive all sorts of items---every time you buy food from the grocery store or buy a new sweater at a clothing store, you can be sure a truck drove it to that location first. Even though truck drivers are so critical, they don't always get the best treatmen…

When we're in preschool, kids are taught that hard work and dedication gets rewarded. If you take your nap, eat your snack, and listen to the teacher, you get to go to recess. As adults, our equivalent of 'recess' is a stiff paycheck at the end of the month, ideally with as many digits as possible. Unfortunately as we get older it becomes more painfully clear that real life isn't so simple.

Who here works a full time job and is not interested in making any money? Nobody? No takers?! Exactly. The majority of the workforce isn't driven by passion, work-ethic, or altruism– we're driven by cold, hard cash. Anyone who says otherwise is either delusional or a professional recruiter. Although usually head hunters like to swoon their prey with pretty words and shiny pay-days, sometimes there's that dime-in-a-dozen recruiter that has the audacity to...
