This one goes out to all of the kids who got in trouble for talking too much in class. I was always an attentive student who wanted to be as well-behaved as possible. I hated getting in trouble, and the one thing I ever got in trouble for in Elementary School was talking too much. …

Stingy workplace rewards employee with rule-laden extra 10 minute break: ‘Give at least 24hr notice’
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.
