Apartment complex gives employees the ‘benefit’ of taking their rent directly out of their paycheck: ‘That’s not a benefit, that’s just paying rent.’
That’s a pretty paltry benefit, all things considered. What kind of benefits do you want for your job? For most workers, having health insurance is the most important benefit they can have. It protects you from the most insane bills. Some people who are financially well-off enough to refrain from working still work just because …

Would you turn down a pay raise if it meant sacrificing your passion? Sometimes an advancement in your job means that you’re going to miss out on something important.

14-year-old refuses to delete her fanfiction despite her parents’ insistence that it’ll look bad to future employers: ‘I’m a 40-year-old accountant who reads fanfiction on my phone during my lunch break. Employers don’t care.’
Writing bad fanfiction is a teenage rite of passage. This might be a controversial take, but I don’t think parents should be snooping through everything their kid does on their phone.

Nanny making $45 an hour threatens to quit unless she gets another 6% raise: ‘We gave her 3 weeks pay for her bonus and $5000 for her birthday this year.’
It sounds like she’s leaving a pretty good gig behind. The scariest part about leaving a job is that there’s no way of knowing if your next job is going to be better or worse. You can measure factors you are aware of before accepting an offer, such as pay, benefits, commute time, and the …

Quitting can be intimidating because …

‘Should I be concerned?’: Worker confronts HR representative after their manager bans employees from discussing pay
There are some things that coworkers shouldn’t ask each other about. It’s usually a good rule of thumb not to discuss politics, religion, or s*x too thoroughly with the people you have to spend 40 hours a week with. Heck, I don’t even want to know the in-depth political compass of someone I only spend …

‘She’s become like a third parent to the kids’: Douchey Dad Hires Nanny, Gets Annoyed When She Does Her Job
The only thing harder than being a parent is having to parent somebody else’s kids.
