It shouldn't be all that hard to behave like a reasonable and rational human individual — right? Like it's not that difficult to get up in the morning and put on your business persona and treat other people with the slightest amount of respect. Sure, there might be a deep fire of eternal rage burning somewhere deep inside you for the sheer disappointment that adult life holds — the field of your future littered with broken promises and unrealized dreams — but that doesn't mean that it's ok to t…

When this (very profitable) small family-owned business was sold off, the new owners greedily rubbed their greasy hands together and contemplated how they were going to ruin it.

There are times when you've gotten away with doing the wrong thing for so long you grow accustomed to getting away with it — like that u-turn you pull while dropping the kids off at school, speeding on your favorite route to work, chopping up kidnapped victims in your basement, or — in a different manner — those late nights playing GameBoy under the covers as a kid. Getting away with the action for an extended period of time doesn't change its moral, or legally grey, standing, in fact, it might…

As the Twitter meltdown continues to unfold, Elon Musk has just excused a Staff Software Engineer — who dared to speak out against his rhetoric — via Twitter.

Imagine trading your day off, working a 10-hour shift, and canceling a vital appointment to help your boss's friend out — only to have your boss throw it back in your face by telling you how “embarrassed” he was that you weren't able to make it to a location, an hour away, at 7 am.

This company and its new owners experienced an important lesson when they laid off all of their employees in a cruel and misguided power-play. The issue was… When the time came to decide which employees they wanted to keep, no one had reapplied. Reddit user u/alldogzzarebeautiful posted this topic to the r/antiwork subreddit. The thread is full of vigor and fury at the injustice that they suffered at the hands of the company's new owners. This is a tactic that companies loved to use when they h…

Stupid problems necessitate even stupider solutions. In this scenario, a little bit of stupid creativity delivered the desired result and ushered in a positive change. Sometimes you have to be the change that you want to see in the world. This guy wanted his breaks, the boss told him he needed to smoke, so he devised a way to “smoke." Sounds like a win-win here, and even better that it was all taken in stride and prompted a laugh from the boss. I previously worked in an office where I was one o…

Just imagine: You're having one of the worst moments of your life — and your boss wants to know if you're going to make your shift.

It's raining, it's pouring, your coworker is snoring.

There are so many ways you can mess up a job interview — but who could ever anticipate being accused of being late by the late interviewer?

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?

A job interview is a two-way street; as much as the company is seeing if they want to work with you, you're also deciding if you want to work for them. Unfortunately, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved with the traditional interview process. It's a performative experience in which both parties are attempting to seem desirable, neutral, and natural — revealing just enough without giving too much away. Most of us, who have been working for an appropriate length of time, have come across…

It happens all too often in your life that you run into stupid obstacles created by obstinate individuals who, for some reason or another have managed to lodge themselves in a position of power. Maybe they just don't like you, maybe they don't like what you do, maybe they just don't like the color of your tie, or — maybe they're just drooling at a chance to exercise what little control they have over their stupid lives. Whatever the reason, these “leaders” make it their mission to act as an

Putting up posters in a break room also requires ZERO TALENT.
