After 4 years of going above and beyond, one employee couldn’t believe how their boss responded to their raise request. You usually expect loyalty to be rewarded, but sometimes loyalty isn’t enough. When you get hired at a new job, odds are you at least start off trying to impress them. You put your all …

Boss writes up employee for not working through lunch break despite automatically clocking them out every time: ‘Going back 8 months, they’ve stolen roughly 60 hours of my time, almost $900’
When a boss tried to reprimand their employee for not working through lunch, the boss’s months-long scam was unveiled. Nobody likes to be told what to do. We don’t appreciate being condescended to, since we’re all adults. But that doesn’t stop some bosses from dramatically overstepping and making their employees feel like children. You know …

Boss tried to turns assistant into his kids’ after-school babysitter for no extra pay: ‘He thought I would “see it as helping the team”’
Sometimes it can be difficult to define what is part of your job description and what isn’t. There is what is written on the job application, and then there is everything else. Hopefully, there’s not too much of «everything else,» but you can never be sure. Plus, your job might change over time while you’re …

Boss calls employee ugly in front of his entire team: ‘Everyone went silent and I just sat there not knowing what to say.’
We like to believe that teasing about appearance goes away after we graduate from K-12 schools, but that’s not always the case. If you’ve ever seen a post about Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, you know that people can get ruthless about couples that they earnestly believe aren’t «looks matches» for each other. People talk …

Workplace asks employees to work overtime for free, they all call in sick the next day: ‘Manager is freaking out in the group chat about «lack of commitment»‘
One of the key aspects of work is that you get paid for it. It’s kind of a non-negotiable. Or else it would be called volunteering, and we’d get to leave whenever we wanted. But some employers don’t seem to understand this, or else don’t care that that’s the whole conceit. Plus, there are laws …

Undervalued employee resigns during meeting with big clients, leaving execs red-faced: ‘I had an offer from a competitor in my pocket’
Timing is everything. Comedians know this to be true. The right joke at the wrong time… is the wrong joke. This is true for other things too. A well-timed text can break or break a night out. Let’s say you’re trying to convince your friend to come to the bar, and your text finds them …

Manager blames employee for not reminding him about raise: ‘I actually did 3 times in 3 weeks starting a week after my 90 day anniversary’
Asking for a raise is not an easy thing to do. It’s putting yourself out there, and putting yourself out there is not something that everyone feels comfortable doing. You also might fear rejection. It’s hard to work yourself up to ask for something and then not get it. It can make you feel like …

‘My boyfriend had to block the owner’: Woman makes boyfriend quit his job 2 days into working after owner’s erratic behavior
Starting a new job always comes with some risks. You never truly know what you’re in for until you’re knee deep in it already. There is only so much you can glean from a job description and a couple of rounds of interviews. Everyone is usually on their best behavior through these, so there’s not …

‘Boss asked me to show team spirit and come in unpaid’: Job asks employee who just worked 6 days straight to come in for a 7th day to ‘volunteer’ unpaid, employee quits on the spot
Some people take too many liberties when it comes to work. We all have different definitions of it, I suppose, but it boils down to being paid for services. You provide a service, and you are compensated monetarily. This is sort of the barest bones definition, but it bears repeating because bosses don’t always understand …

Worker leaves his phone on the back of a work truck, blames coworker for driving away and breaking it and wants him to pay half: ‘He left his phone in a stupid place’
It’s always awkward when you break something. Who hasn’t been at a party where a glass was broken? If you haven’t, then you haven’t been to a party. And I’ve been that person who has shattered glass when I certainly did not mean to (who means to?) You do your best to immediately apologize and …
