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…

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…

The roommate was given three separate warnings... can't really blame the woman at this point.

Unfortunately, we've all encountered an extremely reckless driver at least once. While there is a lot wrong with people like that, the worst of it is that they never seem to comprehend that when they refuse to pay attention to the road around them, they are endangering not only themselves, but everyone around them. If you don't care about your own safety, that is on you, but once you involve other people, you have a responsibility you simply cannot ignore. When I am on the road, it feels me wit…

"I told them I'd take that recording to the dean if they didn't make things right."

"The best way to deal with a thief is to get a little creative."

Karma always finds those who deserve it.

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

As much as people love to talk about how great Airbnb is, there is also a lot wrong with that concept, starting with the people who become hosts. Everywhere you go, you'll hear at least one horror story of an Airbnb host who overcharged, gave terrible reviews, or even put up a hidden camera in the bathroom (if you know you know). This is why many people prefer to go back to ‘the old-fashioned way' and simply book a hotel. While this story is not as bad as a hidden camera tale, it is a perfect e…

As much as we all look forward to getting on a plane and going on vacation, no one likes the first part of the journey to their destination—the airport lines. Not one person enjoys arriving at the airport two hours (at least) before their flight and moving from one line to another until they actually board their flight. It is even more annoying when there is some holdup and you end up standing in one line forever, which is what happened to the passenger in this story. They had to wait for aroun…

"You don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake."

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…

When you're planning the biggest event of your life, what is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime event, it's important to make sure you actually get to the planning part of it and not just leave essential parts to chance… this, coming from someone who is notoriously poor at planning beyond the end of the week. If you want to go on a trip that is going to require you to take time off work, you should probably make sure you request the time off work first so that you're not stuck with an already booked…

This neighbor even kept part of the costume for herself!

He gave her exactly what she asked for.
