One of the things that can be so demoralizing about the workplace is that it doesn’t seem to offer that many rewards. Getting paid isn’t the same as getting a yearly raise that is at least on par with inflation, and an impromptu pizza party isn’t going to hide the fact that your boss is …

Manager makes employee show him his vomit after not believing that he threw up: ‘Are you sure that isn’t someone else’s vomit?
Some managers are obsessed with being as cruel as they can be. I understand that if you work in a busy restaurant and you’re understaffed, you’d hesitate to send anyone home for anything less than a broken arm, a broken leg, and a broken back. While it’s normal to be suspicious of employees trying to …

29-year-old tech worker making $400K annually working 20 hours a week complains about being bored: ‘If he quits, good luck finding half that amount’
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 …

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, …
