Where does it say in this employee's contract that they are obligated to give up their first class seat to their boss?

Early morning routines are sacred, and when a coworker tries to intervene, tensions can rise.

The problem here is not that the employee isn’t communicating enough; it’s that his boss and coworker are overstepping boundaries. Clearly, this employee had said plenty about his whereabouts over the past few days. He had to take off due to a family emergency. No further explanation is necessary. He even followed up over the weekend via email and again over text with an update that he wouldn’t be in the office for one more day but that he would be back on Tuesday. Again, this is a perfectly su…

Your first day on the job can't get much worse than this.

If your parent sets you up to get a job, it's understandable why you'd want to give the role a chance. However, for this person, the red flags were waving almost as soon as they met the dude who was about to be their boss. First impressions matter a lot, which is why some bosses will put on their happiest face while interviewing. That's what happened to u/iheartzigg, who told the r/MaliciousCompliance community about their disastrous trucking gig . It seems like the OP's boss managed to seem no…

This general manager may have been on his way out, but he's going to regret sending that text.

Sometimes, being a rule follower can lead to finding clever loopholes.

We know all too well at this point that your boss is not your friend.

It would take a lot for you to block your boss's phone number , but this woman had to do exactly that. Her boss just wouldn't leave her be as he tried his hardest to interrupt her vacation time . U/Pinkyrye shared her story to r/AmItheA**hole, and she provided several updates on her situation as well. Despite working at her security guard job for six years, her boss still gave her a hard time about taking five days of vacation time. Some places really are stingy with time off, paid or unpaid. I…

Quitting impulsively may not be ideal, but sometimes less than ideal is more than necessary.

Petty doesn't even begin to describe this CEO . She seems like the kind of boss who sucks the air out of a room when she walks in; everyone walks on eggshells around her, and she refuses to give credit where it's due. That kind of boss is hard to work for — even if you're also in the c-suite. Some bosses really dislike giving any kind of positive feedback or encouragement. Instead, they can only point out the negative. In the story that u/aikdxz shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, they write that…

The lengths that employers go to get what they want are baffling these days.

Managers do not have your best interests at heart.

Let's be honest: showing up six minutes late every once in a while is not going to make or break anything no matter what your line of work is. As long as work generally gets done in a timely and thorough manner, employers and employees should just accept the fact that things happen. People get stuck in traffic. Folks need their grande iced coffee with oat milk. Sometimes you don't even have an excuse and you just needed those six extra minutes of sleep in order to power through the rest of the…

Almost nothing good can come from a post-termination meeting.

Is it really that difficult of a concept to grasp that you should pay your employees for their work? The whole “get this bread” mentality that has you working over time for no extra pay is completely whack and millennials and Gen Z are starting to shine light on that. However, there are still employers out there telling you to “show initiative” by staying late and giving up more hours of your life for free. How do these types of employers not see how soul sucking and entitled that is? A guy who…
