So many rich people are clueless about how good they have it. From the way richies talk online, anyone making less than $100K a year must be slumming in extreme poverty that can never be rectified. I understand that living «comfortably» differs amongst classes, but anyone saying that making $300,000 a year in NYC is …

‘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 …

‘Not happening, I’m going home’: Senior employee quits, leaving company in the dust after manager writes him up for not working on day off
One dude named Steve was a hardworking employee who went above and beyond for his company. He ended up working there a long time… 10 years, in fact.

Management takes away employee’s sick day if they’re 1 minute late for 4 shifts; ‘Is this legal?’
I am not someone who is cool when people are late all the time. My time on this earth is valuable, and I don’t appreciate having to wait for 20 minutes outside of a restaurant in the cold because my friend’s «train» was «late.» At the same time, I’m not a wholly unreasonable person. I …

‘Add another zero’: Manager offers ex-employee $50 to work a shift, claims to be desperate for staff
One of my best friends has a mantra in her office: «You don’t work at the hospital.» It’s easy to get swept up in the hubbub of your job and feel like it is the most essential thing in the world, but for most of us, that’s not true. Ensuring that Craig, his wife, and …

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. Every word the professor spoke, every discussion we had, …

Part-Time Job Demands Employee Be ‘On Call’ From 9-6
Having a part-time job can really take it out of you. Full-time jobs might technically take up more of your time, but they’re usually much more predictable. If you’re working from 9-5 for five days every week, you don’t have that added stress of waiting for a schedule to come out or begging your coworkers …

‘Multiple managers viewed my LinkedIn profile’: Worker sets LinkedIn status to ‘open to work’ after HR puts them on a performance improvement plan
LinkedIn is one social media site you must be careful while using. Casually applying to different jobs is all fun and games until you go from barely using it to being on it every night from 7-10. If you start doing that and you’re connected with all of your current employers, good luck, Charlie. The …

‘Suggest a solution’: Manager forces employee to manage herself after scheduling her on her day off
There’s nothing worse than a manager who can’t manage. It’s in their title to make sure all the people working below them are doing what they’re supposed to do, and they can’t even swing that! I’m sure we’ve all been under the guidance of a manager who throws up their hands in frustration whenever they …
