A frustrated worker shared this flier, inviting workers to a company picnic or, rather, a “lunch meal." All well and good—if it weren't for the fact that the company expected the employees to front the cost. The flier went viral when it was shared to a popular Reddit sub, bringing the employer under fire. Readers encouraged the original poster and their coworkers not to attend and derided the practice. I'll be honest… I kind of like company gatherings. This comes from a guy who doesn't usually…

"We're a family here," your HR will gladly tell new hires—a strained smile, thinly stretched, veiling years of workplace abuse, mistreatment, and exploitative policy that would say directly otherwise. The truth is that the only "family" this workplace resembles is a family on a true crime program where the children are chained in the basement by their remorselessly autocratic parents, who insist that the children should be eternally thankful for every scrap offered to them.

What's more mildly infuriating than people? The things that people do!

Since so many people have surveillance cameras in today's day and age, you're being watched by what seems like every house and business. One day I realized that as I walked outside, dozens of cameras were watching me. With a creeping realization like a horror movie, I realized there's nothing to be done about the intense surveillance that many people are now under. I'm not the only one who's thought about that – clearly, people have lots of thoughts on the extra surveillance that has grown in p…

There's often a lot of anxiety that comes with the decision to quit your current job and start a new one. We're creatures of habit and comfort by nature, so thrusting yourself into the unknown isn't easy. So many uncertainties come with a new job that you can't help your imagination wander into wild territories. Will the new job be worse? What will my new boss be like? Will I be any good at my new job? Will I fail catastrophically? Will I regret leaving? It's safe to say that, despite these fea…

Anyone who travels frequently has had their luggage go missing at some point… and anyone who has had their luggage go missing at some point has experienced the anxiety of having their valued personal possessions locked in a suitcase in who-knows-where and with who-knows-who. Airlines are never helpful at quelling these fears; their vague assurances and unwillingness to acknowledge the existence of a problem leave us with no answers wondering what cruel fate has befallen our precious goods. In m…

Some people want everything for nothing, and you'd better not dare stand in the way of that ideal. These entitled people, Karens, and choosing beggars, wanted the world to be handed to them on a silver platter. Their shared ultimate superpower of narcissism is fueled by an undying sense of entitlement and a complete and utter lack of even a shred of self-awareness. Keep reading for this hearty helping of fresh trending entitled people; consider yourself lucky if you don't run into them in real…

If you needed proof that all cultures have something in common: This is it. As it turns out, that end piece of crusty bread is regarded in a similar, if not identical, way in each culture. Forever an outcast, or as the Scottish put it: an outsider, that end piece of bread is regarded by all to be an inferior or unwanted portion, earning names like 'The Mother-in-Law,' the 'Butt' 'Boss,' 'Heel,' 'Nob'; all terms being derogatory, unwanted, and utterly dreadful, dirty things. This is a topic that…

Those working in retail and service are no strangers to discomfort and, often times it can seem like employer's make it intentionally so.

“Can someone explain how this happened? They said it looked intentional? But why??”

I dang near choked on my coffee when I saw this… This LinkedIn user staked everything on her argument that parenting is not a “lifestyle choice”, ravenously defending her claim and position against anyone who dared present other opinions or perspectives. It's probably most pertinent that we approach this logically: What is a “lifestyle”? Other than being a completely overused marketing buzzword, a lifestyle is literally just “The way in which a person lives,” so arguing that a lifestyle choice…

Is being a psychic medium going to be the next ridiculous requirement for an entry-level role?

Just another employer who thinks they own their workers because they pay them the smallest amount that they're legally able…

Nothing says dedication to your job like timidly eating lunch at your desk, nervously checking the door every few minutes to see if today is the day your overlords have decided to grace you with their presence. Let's be real here—it sounds like this manager is a little bit out of their depth. They're the kind of person who only ended up in a position of authority because they knew precisely which (two) cheek(s) to kiss—knowledge they applied regularly and with vigor. This email is a testament t…
