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

Say goodbye to free tech support and homemade office snacks…This guy has reached a breaking point with their boss , and I don't blame them for not wanting to do work they won't be recognized for. At many jobs, your role is laid out for you in crystal clear terms. In some office places, however, there are unspoken tasks that some people will take on in addition to their job duties . Maybe you're the one who brings in a birthday card for your coworkers and gets everyone to sign it. Or perhaps you…

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

Unrequited love is the second-most devastating feeling in human existence. The absolute worst feeling in a person's life is unrequited hard work. Diligent employees with a strong work ethic often get the short end of the stick in their workplace, with countless late nights and at-home data analysis going unnoticed. In this case, OP had picked up the slack in his job, working extra hours and assuming tasks that would help fatten his bosses wallets, but that grind ultimately took a toll...

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…
