Closure is a funny, sometimes overrated thing. But it gets way funnier when a burned-out ex-employee finds closure in the strangest corner of the internet by spending twenty-five dollars on an Etsy witch. After years under a department head who ruled through fear and humiliation, the office had become a slow-motion breakdown factory. The boss …

Manager schedules 17-year-old worker for 3-9 PM shifts Monday through Friday, despite her getting out of school at 2:30 PM: ‘I work 10:30 AM-7:00 PM on weekends.’
She’s way too overscheduled for a high school kid. If there’s one group that is easy to take advantage of in the workplace, it’s teenagers. Sure, there might be pesky child labor laws keeping bosses from treating them like late-19th-century factory workers, but the ethos of that era still often rings true. I remember the first …

‘Say bye-bye’: Pizza place’s new management drastically cuts working hours, so disgruntled employee of 9 years gets them shut down, demoted to a B rating, and the incompetent managers fired
A pizza place came crashing down after a disgruntled employee reported them to the city when they cut his hours for the 3rd time. Working at a pizza place is an entirely different service industry ballgame then, say, working at a fancy bistro. Usually, pizza place culture is more casual, with a chiller crowd of …

Manager lies to boss that her employee quit while she was out sick: ‘I explained that I never said that I quit, he said he already terminated my employment status.’
Your coworkers can make or break a job for you. I know people who’ve met their life partner while clocked in at the same place of employment. I know people who got hired at another company by their boss from their previous company. I know people who hang out with their coworkers at Happy Hour …

7-Eleven manager schedules 17-year-old employee who gets out of school at 2:50 PM for shifts starting at 3 PM, refuses to push her start time back: ‘Get here faster’
Workplaces that employ teenagers should know that for the vast majority of kids with after-school jobs, school comes first. There are kids who are willing to sacrifice their education for work because they need the money to support their families. However, even these kids shouldn’t be asked to work during school hours. Involved parents will …

Lazy coworker brags about having free time at work on social media, hardworking coworker tattles to management: ‘We never have a slow MOMENT at work, let alone a slow day’
We’ve all had one of those coworkers who doesn’t do what they’re supposed to do. If you’re on the same level as someone, it’s easy to notice that one or two people are carrying the bulk of the work, while another employee is twiddling their thumbs and getting the same pay/credit for doing much less. …

Manager scolds employee for saying ‘sure’ instead of ‘yes’ when he asked him to do a task: ‘I told him to do something, it’s a command from his manager, not a request.’
Every boss expects a different level of formality from their employees. I know a lot of Southern people who feel disrespected if they’re not addressed as «yes sir» or «yes ma’am.» On the other side, I know Northerners who get incredibly offended if people call them «ma’am» because it makes them feel old. In general, …

It’s not easy knowing what you might be getting into in the workplace these days. We all have been so traumatized by workplace culture past that it could literally be anything. Are you getting fired? A raise? A promotion? A mug that says «thanks for all your hardwork»? Who knows?! But, it is easier to …
