It's not easy asking for a raise. It's stressful and anxiety inducing, but if you have a good manager they take it seriously and try their hardest to give it to you. But the internet seems to make it clear that there are not many good managers out there. Just look at this short and sweet story that is the epitome of this. OP puts it plain and simple: They asked for a raise and their manager responded with rudeness and immaturity. OP poised their case with good reasoning on why they deserve a ra…

The anti-work movement has been going on for a while now, and contrary to what it sounds like, it's not that people don't want to work. Rather, people want to get paid appropriate, reasonable amounts for the work they do, to be appreciated, and not be micromanaged. That is apparently too much to ask for, nowadays, at least. People are fed up with working conditions, with their bosses, and with their coworkers . Companies try to convince you to 'give your all' to them, to work hard, for you 'wil…

Managers don't always have the courage to tell employees to their faces that they're fired, which only prolongs the inevitable process. This person was working at a ‘community center’, that ironically cost $150 a month, if that gives you any idea of the type of workplace this was. The person finished their shift and went to clock out per usual. Except… something was wrong. They noticed that they weren't able to clock out, so they opened up the app that the staff were required to have in order t…

Understaffed, underpaid, over it

Why is it that the people who do the most work never seem to get noticed? This is 1000% the definition of a toxic working environment, and yet there are still tons of managers and bosses out there who wholeheartedly follow that. As if your job is only to make them look good, and if you stop trying to make them look good then you're fired, but if you work harder to make them look good, then you can stay right there exactly where you are with no promotions or raises and definitely no acknowledgem…

It's funny how your boss will complain about the price of gas with you until you ask them for a rise so you can pay for said gas to get to work and now all of a sudden your boss doesn't think it's thaaaaaat expensive. Usually when you ask for a raise, before you even approach your boss or manager you gather all the reasons why you deserve it, show all the tangible work you have been doing, and try to prepare as best as you can to negotiate with confidence and stand your ground. However, with mi…

It might not seem like it with all the toxic workplaces being ousted left and right and workers finally realizing they deserve more respect and quitting. But there are still some good work environments in this world and when you find one, you gotta appreciate it. Recently, a man on Reddit posted about how he was publicly called out during a work dinner, but the story has a plot twist. He starts by saying his boss left for a three-week vacation and dumped his workload onto him. So he not only ha…

It's becoming more and more evident that the workplace culture that the Boomers set into effect many moon ago is not working anymore. So far the boomers are holding as tight as they can to it and Gen-X have been enforcing it. However, millennials are a different story. Millennials were told they could be whatever they wanted to be, but not told what the options were or how to obtain them. When they started to enter the workforce, they were called lazy, entitled, and many other things. So, mille…

Micromanaging obviously made the list, but why is having been only at the company your entire career on there?
