LinkedIn is my nightmare social media. It’s full of all the people I knew from high school and college who work for investment banks and want me to congratulate them on their promotion.

‘You owe them zip’: Employee sends biting reply to boss who withheld PTO payout
When you leave a job, you do the best you can to tie things in a nice bow for your employers, if it was a nice working relationship. But the reality is, you don’t really owe them anything other than 2 week’s notice and a little courtesy. Everything else is extra. It’s certainly not a …

Manager Secretly Records 1-On-1 With Employee, Accidently Sends It to Him
It’s no secret we’ve been living in more of a surveillance state than ever before. I often think about how nearly every college class I took during the 2020-2021 school year was recorded and put online for the students who didn’t attend Zoom class that day.

‘Slander is illegal and can cost you lots and lots of money’: Aggressive CEO replies to negative Glassdoor review, proves the reviewer right
A particular class of business owners are convinced that aggressively responding to their negative online reviews will make them look good. I’m here to tell them that screaming and hollering at bad reviews makes said reviews look much more valid. I had a nefarious therapist as a teenager, and out of curiosity, I recently checked …

‘There’s even an At-Will clause in my contract’: Boss refuses to accept employee’s resignation, threatens to sue him for quitting
Knowing you can leave anytime is one of the best things about a lousy job. Sure, it might not be advisable to quit your job the second something bad happens, but at least you’re not an indentured servant in 1700s America who cannot leave until their mandatory contract is fulfilled.

‘I wasn’t even given a single shift’: Hotel chain fires employee before they start
Getting fired can send you into a spiral of self-doubt. Even if you feel justified in your actions, you can’t help but feel the bruise to your ego. What’s worse, though, is losing a job and not knowing why. One of my friends was fired from a job with very little notice or forewarning, leaving …

‘I was never supposed to approve your vacation’: Boss tries to renege on employees Christmas vacation that he approved in October
Asking for time off during the holidays is pretty tricky. Everybody wants to get a couple of extra days off during that weird twilight zone between Christmas and the New Year, but unless your PTO expires at the end of the year, good luck getting an extra week off of work. I understand that it’s …
