Mom forbids 13-year-old daughter from touching anything in the kitchen unless she cleans her baking mess, leading daughter to stop doing chores: ‘Fine, I won’t touch anything’
I have never met a kid who likes or enjoys helping their parents around the house. Honestly, I highly doubt a kid like that actually exists.

Call center supervisors allow favorite employees to slack off while coworkers take calls, face payback when worker crashes personal computer: ‘I’m just a call center employee. I don’t code’

In theory, those who are the best at their jobs should be the ones who get recognized and rewarded, or at least, that is the narrative that we are often fed. In practice, many embittered employees know …
