Fashion matters. In the workplace, your clothing can reflect more than just your style and can shed light on your position in the office hierarchy as well. Only a deluded person would think that they can score a management position at a marble-floored company while wearing a pair of plaid pajamas in their interview. Even in the digital age, sometimes, you actually need to dress to impress.

It's hard to dislodge CEO's from their position of power. With their ‘friends in high places’ guarding the gates to their job titles, CEOs are almost untouchable. Even with poor job performance, terrible leadership, and a downright inability to do their duties, the only way to really reveal a toxic CEO's incompetence is through the eyes of the shareholders.

Manager fumbles the first few days of a rising star's employment

PTO policy is something that employees are extremely familiar with. The moment they plop themselves in that ergonomic office chair on their first day of work, they're already looking for ways to get out of it.

Big companies can get away with inhumane injustices simply because they have the sharkiest lawyers on retainer waiting to crush the opposition. Employees are only a tiny bug carcass on the windshield of massive corporations, so when the little guy attempts to stand up to them, all businesses need to do is blast the wiper fluid and brush away their problems.

Who can you trust at work?

Bean counters can be a bit frustrating. Although we commend the audit-avoiding efforts of the accounting department, their decision-making process feels rather baseless in the real world. As footmen in the trenches on a day-to-day basis, the workforce sometimes knows better when it comes to improving company efficiency.

Time and a half… These are the magic words that make any hustler consider working a little overtime. Nobody wants to work OT if there's no reward. Our 40-hour work week is plenty of time on the clock, so anyone who's contemplating picking up a few extra hours on top of that is looking for s significant payout for their time. We work extra hours so we can get extra pay.

The OP of the story raises a really interesting point. He dedicated countless hours to developing a new app for his company, a project that was supposed to bring in millions of dollars in revenue. So, how was he repaid? He was promptly let go. Shockingly, this isn't uncommon, as several other employees in the comment section shared similar experiences and offered advice. One worker responded, "I, too, was laid off immediately after finishing a project. Just sitting in my car with a...

Being a lady bartender isn't easy. You have to pretend to be interested in every patron's woes, while also being detached enough to avoid stalkerish behavior. During every shift, bartenders deal with antagonizers, party-meisters, and worst of all womanizers. But it's all worth it for the tips right? That is until you realize the worst offender of on-shift mockery is coming from your general manager.

If you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back. Handymen and tradesmen have been living by this law for centuries and it's arguably one of the few industries left that follows the old-school, handshake contract traditions. Through the uncommunicated secret bond of fellow tradesmen, most blue-collar guys would go out of their way to help a guy out with their project, simply because they know that the good karma will come back to them at some point.

Isn't it annoying when you get asked to do something that is NOT in your job title without anything in return? If it's not part of your role, and you're not really getting paid for it, then why do it? I don't mean people shouldn't be innovative or try to move up in their line of work, but I am no stranger to employers taking advantage of their employees just to save money and time. Here, there's an incredibly devoted employer who was actually fine with taking on more responsibilities in his lin…

Would you quit tomorrow if someone gave you $70,000 a year for the rest of your life? At that price you'd probably at least consider early retirement.

Fresh-faced college kids are willing to put up with a lot in the workplace. Desperate to find that shiny job they were promised would pay off their student loans within the year, they'll usually start with a scrutinous eye for the golden entry-level job of their dreams. Quickly, they realize it's harder than it seems to find a half-decent job.

We've all heard horrifying tales of CEO's hiding from the workforce in their ivory tower, hailing gratitude from above as if money grows on trees. Out-of-touch 1%ers have a knack for rubbing the working class the wrong way and as history would prove, when people get desperate enough in the gutters, they'll have nothing to lose when it comes to an uprising. Just ask the French!

Have you ever woken up to your morning alarm and thought, ‘I don’t feel like working today'? Most of the working class has felt this to some degree. The urge to quit your job without notice is so strong for some that they'll even call in sick or fake a doctor's appointment just to avoid another moment in the workplace. I get it, some days can be rough. But what about Christmas? Is that a day that anybody can bail on after waking up on the wrong side of the bed?
