A disgruntled worker shared this experience to Reddit's r/ antiwork subreddit, claiming that their employer had refused to honor their accrued PTO once they handed in their notice. They had thought that they were doing the correct and honorable thing by giving their notice to their employer but felt that this had just come back to bite them. The relationship between an organization and its workers is built upon trust. Once that trust is betrayed by a worker/workers it's completely fair that the…

The employee had to pick up her boyfriend from the airport and get her vacation underway, so she declined. An onslaught of messages from the boss soon followed, callin…

It's not unusual for people to be protective of their possessions in a workplace setting. In a generally shared space things have a tendency to go missing, and when those things are essential for completing your required daily tasks tracking them down can be a bit rage-inducing. Just ask any mechanic who has had sales staff all-up in their workshop tampering with the carefully organized chaos of their workstation. Like Milton with his red Swingline stapler, if one more thing goes missing they m…

Want to sell the appearance that you're walking to the conference room for an important meeting and definitely not slipping out the backdoor to go home at 2 pm?

This worker liked to catch their flights from a smaller satellite airport because it was closer to their office building and this allowed them to reduce their travel time and still squeeze in more work on days they had to travel. An added bonus for the company, or so they thought, was that the flights were cheaper too. The bean counters didn't see these reasons as enough to justify the exorbitant cost of the $12 Uber ride that the worker took to the airport. They determined that the airport was…

A lot changed in 2020. We collectively learned as a society that many of our jobs could be done from the comfort of our homes. This meant no more commuting an hour in each direction, either inching forwards in rush hour traffic or wedged in next to a smelly dude on public transportation. All of our lives were better without that commute and the stuffy air of office politics, and it seemed that amidst great global panic, we had at least managed to take a step forward as a society.

Interviews go both ways.

This worker was getting a pretty hard time from her supervisor. The post lends one to believe that there were discriminatory motivations behind the supervisor's actions. However, as some commenters have pointed out, if the poster got her position in the first place because of nepotism then it wouldn't be completely unlikely that she has been getting a hard time because she is unqualified for her position. Whatever the reason there's a lesson here somewhere… And it's probably that companies have…

There's no way this is legal.

That mental image is going to stick with us.

When you're a kid, you think that adults have everything figured out. As you age, you have the horrifying, dawning realization that nobody has anything figured out. That realization is reinforced when you enter the workforce and are exposed to your fellow “adults” who range from simply ‘faking it’ like the rest of us to being dangerously and dysfunctionally problematic. Those adults that you idolized when you were young often failed to learn the fundamental lessons that you were supposed to lea…
