These vacations to Italy and Hawaii sound incredible, so it's a shame it didn't work out as the vacationers planned.

Vacationing, as relaxing as it is, involves a lot of moving parts and planning things in advance. Depending on what you do, the planner has t…

UPDATE: ‘I got fired’: Boss fires employee for refusing to come home early from vacation, despite TO being initially approved

UPDATE: ‘I got fired’: Boss fires employee for refusing to come home early from vacation, despite TO being initially approved

The restaurant industry is known for being fickle; if a few coworkers call in sick, you're gonna find yourself in a bit of a pickle… that is, as a manager. But as someone in a management position, that is your problem; not the other employees' issue. In this case, OP's boss initially approved their vacation but quickly backpedaled when it became apparent that they had granted time off to too many other employees, meaning that now they were short-staffed. Tough luck, as OP was already on their v…

Update: 'I'd already spoken with HR': Fridge-raiding employee teams up with her dad to get back at coworker

AITA for making a dad joke?

Update: 'AITA for making a dad joke?': Father tells rebellious daughter a truly epic dad joke, but his family doesn't find it funny

What would we ever do without our family? As a dad, there are several duties you have to do (aside from childcare, chores, etc.) You have to have a pair of “dad sneakers” that you'll wear for 20 years to any and all occasions. You have to pick a single household item to monitor very closely ("Don't touch that thermostat!"). And then, you have to deliver a steady supply of groan-inducing, completely unnecessary, and very silly dad jokes. This guy is nailing the jokey side of fatherhood, even tho…

Maybe it's time you look for a place where you'll be appreciated — where you won't be taken for granted, a place that will properly compensate you for the amount of work you do.
