The hypocritical relationship that bad bosses tend to have with PTO is increasingly infuriating.

There's definitely a right and wrong way when it comes to handling these kinds of office revelations. This employee definitely did not handle this well.

If a boss says that the real problem is your inability to budget well, that's perhaps the biggest red flag of all.

Here's hoping this manager learned that her power trip was certainly not worth it.

At what point do you turn to petty revenge? Is it after someone's first offense of being annoying or entitled ? Or is it after you have already asked them once or twice to stop the offensive act? Or maybe it's after you already tried the proper paths of reporting them to higher ups and still nothing changes. Is that when you begin to devise your petty revenge plan? One health care employee and her colleagues had had enough one day. She reports on Reddit that over a decade ago she had a manager…

Dealing with a micromanager is a burdensome experience, with the complete lack of autonomy and self-determination totally sapping any motivation you might have once had for your job. To make matters worse, it almost always comes from a manager who should have never been promoted over you, who has far less of an understanding of their role (and yours) than they seem to think they do… maybe that's the core of the issue? This employee shared their experience of managing their micromanaging boss. T…

There is a difference between working your hardest and only working. Life is all about balance and that especially goes for any career you're chasing. You will never be happy if you make your entire life about your job, just like you will not be happy if you make your entire life about your partner or your hobby or whatever. Us humans need balance. Work-life balance is extremely important. It's not only essential for mental health, but it is also essential in being a great employee. If you make…

Ahhh yes, nothing like the good ‘ole fashion micro-manager who does more work trying to hover over your every move than actual work that needs to get done. Most people come across these types of delightful managers at least once in their career and boy is it a hoot. That was us being sarcastic, if you couldn’t tell… Micro-managers are the absolute WORST. The are entitled and think they can do your job better than you, so much so that they sacrifice their own duties to watch over yours and call…

There comes a time in your career when you have to stand up for yourself and stop taking on too much.

This HR lady's blatant lie says just about everything one could say regarding the health of this work environment.

When building a career, one good rule of thumb to work by is to never burn any bridges. No matter how entitled or petty your upper management is, always take the high road. We know that easier said than done, but you just never know who you are going to cross paths with again on your way up the corporate ladder. However, sometimes an opportunity comes by that is just too sweet of a revenge that you cannot pass it up—especially if you're able to do it anonymously. In OP's case, that is exactly t…

Here is a friendly reminder that illegal contracts are still null and void regardless of whether or not you signed them. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by a former employee of a popular fast food chain. After quitting without notice, the employee remembered they had signed a contract stating that if this were to happen, they would get paid minimum wage for any final pay periods. Thankfully, this employee researched their rights and knew this was illegal. They reached ba…

If this isn't a sign to start looking for work elsewhere, I don't know what is.

Seldom do you quit a job and ever want to go back. It's surprising how the sudden absence of a paycheck removes all desire to set foot there ever again. This is especially true when you quit because of a bad boss or coworker; you would hope never to see them again if you can manage it. When your boss is verbally abusive, going in for one last “face-to-face” discussion is probably the last thing you should do; the last thing you want to do is give them another chance to get in your face or spin…

Sometimes actually following the rules makes you more rebellious. That's right, it's called malicious compliance and it is a tasty form of protest. One person who works in the service industry at a fast-food restaurant played a grade-A malicious compliance tactic that actually had them getting paid more. They had gotten in trouble for starting their closing-shift duties early so they could leave earlier. The place closes at 9 and they didn't want to be there until midnight, so they would start…

There is no arguing that the work culture that the boomers got started in is completely different than what it is now. Millennials and even older Gen Z are not happy with the mess the baby boomers have left us . We are exploited, abused, and simply put, not paid even remotely enough. After rent, groceries, gas, and other living necessary bills and expenses, we hardly have anything left of our salary. Lucky for us, unlucky for boomers, millennials and Gen Z workers have woken up and are starting…
