Remember interning? Remember working as an inexperienced and insecure employee for $0 pay? You would think that you more senior/ actually-paid coworkers would maybe take you under their wing and give you a break and some pointers. That's the internship dream! And then you have a nice little connection and mentor into the workforce you're trying to break into. Unfortunately, that is not always the experience. Sometimes a more entitled older co-worker will takes this un-paid “employee” and use th…

A peak working environment is one where you can comfortably and confidently tell a coworker to knock it off when they are going past their boundaries. Those places definitely exist, but, unfortunately, they are rare. One Redditor has about had it with their unbearably busybody coworker—the worst part is, this person is a brand new employee too.

Once you have committed to being a parent, you are committed for life, there is no backing out.

Sometimes you have great regulars and a fantastic team. But, unfortunately, those more annoying events are more common. The longer you work in the servi…

We should really listen to our youth, because sometimes adults learn helpful life lessons from children. For example, an entitled adult who thinks it's okay to treat kids with zero kindness because they're older and “more mature” has a very harsh lesson to learn. You can't be a grown person and act like it's okay to treat everyone around you like you're better than them. Come on, we live in a society, man. Grow up. This story comes from a '90s kid. This millennial was doing what young kids did…

Isn't it wonderful when something that feels like an awful situation actually turns into something beautiful? That's exactly what happened to this young blue collar worker . He was no more than 18 years old and started working construction. As a newbie in many ways, the older and more senior coworkers would pick on him. One guy straight up would steal his food right in front of his face like a high school bully and even asked him, “what're you gonna do about it?!” As retaliation, he did the cla…

It's that time of the year again, everybody! When you work at a place that needs to keep running during the holidays. This can include the service industry, retail, and even tech! Bet you have never even thought about how sight security and coding needs to continue smoothly even during the holidays. That means employees are trading shifts left and right to try and get a day off to spend with their loved ones. Most places you can just discuss it like adults amongst your coworkers and figure out…

Calling all siblings, this one is a familiar burn. Parents, partners, and besties are supposed to take the high road, but siblings get a pass to the low road. If you're a sibling, you get what I mean. Nobody can talk badly to your sister or brother, that is YOUR job. If you need to teach your sibling a lesson and fight fire with fire, then light it up!
