One boss shared what she probably thought was an encouraging tale of… making her employees work all day on Christmas Eve . I know what you're thinking: what could possibly be positive about making your employees work the whole day just before a major holiday? Many people depend on that day to travel to their family's houses, hop on a flight, or just need time to wrap up some last-minute gifts. And I know, I know, the employees are getting paid to work a full day… but it's just a nicety that wou…

How bad would your drink have to taste before you start pouring it out on the ground ? This woman did just that, in a video she filmed herself, after getting a drink she disliked at a local coffee chain. Some coffee chains are woefully inept at making a drink. I stopped going to a local Dunkin because my order is just cold brew with cream, with light ice. Those are just three ingredients, and yet I never get quite what I've asked for. Sometimes they give me extra ice (are they spiteful of my li…

You can hope for the best, but sometimes travel plans are just out of your control.

The internet is totally divided over the case of two neighbors who are loudly feuding over the fence they share . In the age of social media, we often only see one side of the story. This leads to people being called out for their behavior, when there is missing information that adds more to our understanding of the story. This story of two neighbors is a perfect example of this, as the two sides have decided to battle it out both in person and through videos posted to social media . As you can…

In a thread that went viral, users were asked, "What would you name a newborn child if you really, really wanted to ruin their life, but wanted to maintain plausible deniability about having done it on purpose?" Oddly specific, but we're here for it. The responses were as entertaining as they were bizarre. People shared names that ranged from whimsical and fantastical to downright hilarious. On this side of the internet, traditional naming conventions are thrown out the window...

Venturing forth into the unknown is a challenging experience, and the comforts of the assured often keep us from starting that journey. The tug-of-war between known and unknown take place as a theme stretching back throughout human existence, with the desire for change, for “better,” causing us to seek out novel experiences—the fear of ending up worse off keeping them from pursuing them. This has been a commonly discussed topic on our site as of late, as it often plays significantly into our ci…

Why are so many mangers like this? Is it the power struggle they have created themselves? Is it some sort of pride thing? Or are they really just that dumb? If you've ever had THAT kind of manager, then you've thought the same questions. This recently happened for one server when her manager tried to trick her into unpaid work.

Twitter is a big place, but every now and again, some viral tweets will bring the Twittersphere together for a moment. No two Twitter feeds are the same, so your odds of seeing the same tweets as someone else aren't guaranteed. But if you've been on the site long enough, you're probably familiar with tweets from some of the bigger meme accounts, like @dril and @horse_ebooks. They and other accounts send out a steady stream of hilarious tweets ! And eventually, the lingo from random, oddball twe…

TikTok trends are usually only going viral because some audacious teenager got footage of themselves doing something stupid, obscene, or way out of line. As a parent, trying to teach your kids between right and wrong is difficult enough, but when all your teenager wants is to get likes on their videos and social media validation, the moral high-ground starts to look pretty lame.

The best part of the working day is when you sign off and go home; I don't care how much you love your job… there are no exceptions here. Once you've put in your 8, or 9, (or even 10) hours, you're finally free to return to your humble abode, decompress… and start doing personal chores and obligations. Thanks to the modern workday, there's very little time to get all the things done that you'd like to at home; I'm sure each of us has several projects that we've been putting off due to constrain…

The illusion of power is absolutely real.

It's generally expected that you'll do whatever you possibly can to keep your superiors happy—whether it's your boss, teacher, or parents. But should we really be going out of our way to do something for someone who couldn't care less about showing the same respect in return? Normally, when your boss passed you criticism in the workplace, you might become anxious and worried about this. But should you really be? If you're already performing the expectations of your role, why waste the energy? T…

Come again?

Interns come and go, but one guy, James, made an impression on the entire office with his high jinks.

We might expect that experience, performance, and time in a role would lead us to an increased take-home pay… and that we might be earning more than the college graduate the company just hired—who has no experience and is still wet behind the ears. But, changes in company hiring policy resulting from fluctuations in the demands of the job market could very well mean that new hires are earning far more than you. Companies are often reluctant to increase the cost of existing labor—even in times o…
