Who can you trust at work?

If Santa and his naughty list were real… He'd have a blast revoking these bosses' privileges. I can just imagine his hoarse chuckle as he strokes his fluffy white beard, waving gifts in their faces that they are never going to get. But he doesn't exist, and there's no need, because the bosses in question managed to dig their own grave all by themselves. One person was serving in the military for five years, and during this time, he was responsible for the inventory. After a while, he realized t…

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.

Some customers will look at a sign that says “Don't climb on this” and then let their kid crawl all over it anyway. It's not that they can't read the sign, it's not that they didn't see it. They just don't care. Lots of customers are entitled, and they think that any mess they make in a store is not theirs to clean up. They believe that since they're the prized customer, all employees need to bend to their will, and bring out a broom to clean up any mess they make.

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.

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.

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?

"Getting fired is the least of your worries"

The minute that your company starts having ‘issues' with payroll it's time to run. Dust off that resume and practice your interview voice because the second that an accounting department starts fumbling your only reason to clock in every day, it may be time to throw up a peace sign and walk out the front door.

If you had the choice between a bundle of cash and a cringey office Christmas party, which would you chose? For some, the Christmas bonus means a new set of tires or an in-home heater repair, but to others they'd rather peacock through the workplace, guzzling free cocktails and flaunting their shiniest blazer.

Before working from home and outfitting a workstation in my living room, I never realized how expensive desk chairs could be. After being initially shocked by the multitude of chairs online that cost $1,000+ for an 'ergonomic design', it made me question how important it was to be comfortable for 8 hours a day at my desk.

Over the last few years, we've all found ourselves in a bit of a financial pickle. Whether you blame inflation, shrinkflation, or whatever new economics term the experts are calling it, the bottom line is that life is getting more expensive. So a lot of working class folks are trying to get promoted, get raises, and generally make more money just to keep up with their expenses.

Working an hourly job makes you appreciate every second you spend on the clock. Depending on your hourly wage (and how bored you get on your shift) you might even know the mathematical breakdown of what you earn per second when you're on the job! So when the bean counters in the back start skimming quarters and dimes off of your daily shift, what does that add up to?
