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…

Upper management usually doesn't intervene between bosses and their employees, unless the issue is considered unsolvable. In this case, it wasn't exactly that the case was 'unsolvable', but rather that this particular boss simply didn't have the authority to fire any employee. Not to mention that there weren't even proper grounds for this employee to be fired in the first place. OP was working as a carhop at Sonic at the time, and one day they were cleaning up all the drinks that the day shift…

CEO's and upper management types are the kind of people that have the fewest tricks but the loudest bark.

Moreover, OP was informed that they were going to be paid on a certain day, but that p…

Getting a manager you get along with is rare these days. The workforce is filled with entitled Karen and Kyle bosses that think since they're you boss they can treat you like trash. Those jobs are the kind you have to quit as soon as possible. However, when you find upper management that you actual click with, it's feels like the sky has opened and the sun is shining down on you and the angels sing, ya know? However, how far can you go with that “click” with upper management before it's too far…

Working from home is quickly becoming a very common practice. Since the pandemic in 2020 forced everyone to stay at home, companies finally started to see how work still got done. It's now considered an antiquated way of thinking if you force your employees to come to an office every single day to do work they could perfectly do from home. Many millennials and Gen Z are even refusing to do jobs that aren't WFH. Recenly, a man took to Reddit to share his satisfying petty revenge/malicious compli…
