Some people are worried about the prospects of AI taking over their jobs, fearing the day that their skills would become useless. Then there are people who actively try to find a way a computer would be able to do their entire job so that they would not actually have to work. But if you do manage to find a way to get an automatic program to do all your work, you better keep that information a secret, because if someone at your workplace were to find out, it might not look good for your future t…

They say ‘The truth will set you free’, but they must have never had to work for a company that doesn't care at all about what you really think. If employees try to be honest and tell the truth to their employers, it will most likely get them in trouble, which would only result in those employees probably wishing they kept the truth to themselves. But there are some employees out there who might say that being honest is the best way forward in the workplace, much like the employee in this Reddi…

Bosses can ask their employees to do the most ridiculous things, even when it falls outside of their job description. A lot of job descriptions will list out all of the daily tasks the employee is expected to do. Then, there will be a line that says something like, “Additional tasks as needed.” That leaves a lot of room for a manager to request help with things that their employees really shouldn't be doing, but will be strong-armed into doing anyway. The people answering u/thekutsi's questions…

A little patience can go a long way.

It's never simple to work in the service sector. However, working in the service industry under incompetent managers' oversight and without the ability to take breaks is even worse. An employee's explanation of their frustration is provided below. The original poster (OP) is the manager of the local auto parts store. Unless someone else has been appointed to take their place, managers are not permitted to leave the store or take a lunch break. When his supervisors began requesting that he work…

Not one of us is as infallible as we'd like to think. Draw a line in the sand for where you think you've been right or wrong in disagreements in your life and then take a couple of steps backward. That perspective will probably show you that you're not really as “corect” as you might think and that line is probably closer to where you're now standing. After all, we're all determinately fastened into our own narritaves and tend to have

Wanna know how long you can make a password ? Go ahead, guess. Apparently, in the various Google applications, you can make a password that's up to 100 characters long! Just imagine how long it would take to type out such an abomination of a password… Sentences like this one right here are exactly 100 characters long, typing that password is a chore! Now that you have an appreciation for the sinister art of making a super crazy long password, you can appreciate this now-deleted user's post to r…

For the purpose of readability on this one, keep in mind that “MNC” is likely “Multi-National Corporation,” and “grandfather” is likely just a translational error of the author referring to their boss' boss.

Service workers have the power to help you save (or lose) money.

What are the professional rules on “take-backsies”?

Regardless of whether or not you have a car, driving with a carpool to work can be a very positive experience. First, you can save time by using the carpool lane, not to mention it is much better for the environment. Second, you can save a lot of money by not paying for gas alone. But perhaps the most positive thing you can get out of carpool is the company. It is greatly beneficial to have someone to talk to, gossip about topics you can't discuss in the office, and simply bond beyond the work…

This person has had it up to here with their new coworker . They shared that they were feeling conflicted about how to proceed after realizing that this new hire is pretty bad with computers. The new coworker in this story was a nepo-hire , brought into the job just because she was a long-time friend of the company's CEO. Instead of hiring a worker for their skills, the company chose to bring on this woman without actually having her demonstrate any computer competency first. Computers aren't l…

Incompetency is a disease. Get well soon, Karen.

What is going on inside managers' heads when they decide to create literal chaos for their employees for no apparent reason? Do they really think that firing employees and then refusing to hire replacements will help their business? And what do they end up doing after they fire everyone on their team and have no one to do the job? Those are questions I would love to ask the management in this Reddit story, as they fired the majority of their team and expected one employee to take on all the wor…

What was this manager thinking? Working for a union, you'd think you'd know your way around labor laws–especially when it comes to your own team of hardworking employees and their overtime shifts.
