‘She wanted buy a soul with a certificate’: Unpaid intern stands up to toxic boss forcing her to work weekends
I’ve been an intern many a time, and most of that was unpaid or very marginally paid. The intern blues is real. You’re expendable, you’re lowest on the totem pole, and you don’t command respect. The lack of pay is just the cherry on top. Yes, you get to learn new skills, build your resume, …

‘Leave immediately’: Manager kicks server off shift, ordering them to go home and change clothes in order to comply with dress code
Enforcing a dress code on employees is a tale as old as time. And in some cases, I get it. You knew what you were getting into when starting working there. Other times, I don’t get it. That is, when managers are inconsistent in terms of their expectations. One day they say this, the other …

‘Complete your job, then leave quietly’: Top Mildly Infuriating Stories of the Week
People are so, so annoying. On a flight, they’ll put their feet on your armrest (I cannot fathom how somebody dares to do this), they’ll push past you in line at the supermarket, they’ll block your car in when you’re about to leave for work… You know, the usual Karen stuff. Is there any good …

‘It took them almost TWO months’: Incompetent company accidentally fire employee, don’t realize until mandatory training
Let’s face it, many of the jobs that exist in the market today are kind of useless. If every nurse or cleaner quit their job tomorrow, we would be in trouble, but if the same thing happened to every business consultant? It’s not like most of us would notice. That said, the one place you …

‘The other staff are also in school’: Boss schedules 15-year-old worker during school hours, makes the teen find a cover
There’s nothing more dehumanizing than being a teenage worker at an exploitative business. It’s a pretty good rule of thumb that if an establishment is regularly hiring 15 and 16-year-olds, it’s probably not the most ethical business in the world. It’s so much easier for bosses to take advantage of teenagers who’ve never worked anywhere …

I challenge you to find an adult with a job who hasn’t woken up some mornings and thought «do I really have to do this for forty more years?». Even those who work in their dream role have off days, which leaves very little hope for the rest of us. The fact of the matter …
