There are some things that coworkers shouldn’t ask each other about. It’s usually a good rule of thumb not to discuss politics, religion, or s*x too thoroughly with the people you have to spend 40 hours a week with. Heck, I don’t even want to know the in-depth political compass of someone I only spend …

Manager Refuses to Promote Employee Because He’s ‘Too Good At What He’s Doing Now’
No good deed goes unpunished, especially in the workplace. If you are an extremely competent worker who goes above and beyond for your company, it is rare that you will be rewarded for it. You might be rewarded with verbal praise or affirmations of your value, but that won’t translate into any material benefits or …

Boss Tells Employee Their Hard Work ‘Doesn’t Go Unnoticed’ in Card Confirming They’re Not Getting a Raise
Working hard is one of those virtues that is valued so much in the workplace but is often unappreciated in the ways that truly matter. You can work extremely hard for a company and get copious verbal praise for it, but if the amount of work doesn’t match the paycheck, is it really worth it …

Worker Gets Cursed Out And Accused of Using $40K Per Year Job as a ‘Stepping Stone’ After Handing in Their Two Week Notice
Family businesses are wild places to work at. When you’re working at a company where no employees have familial ties to each other, it’s much more normalized to leave in search of better opportunities. Sure, your boss might not be happy that you quit, but it’s a standard expectation for some percentage of employees. In …

Unreasonable Manager Demands Employee Call Her When They Leave Their House And Show Up To Work 10 Minutes Early
There’s something to be said for arriving places early. If you leave early, you’re much less likely to be late; imagine that! Life is less stressful when you’ve got your eyes on the clock before you leave your house, and you’re not running ten minutes late to everything. That being said, I disagree with the …

Douchey Retail Manager Accuses Worker Covering Shift of Trespassing at 5 AM, Gets Hit With Malicious Compliance
I don’t want to make too many excuses for those who make up the managerial class, but that kind of job isn’t always an easy ride. Being in that kind of position makes someone a lot more liable for anything that goes wrong at work than if they were a lowly intern. That being said, …

People Share Signs That Somebody is a Loser
I’m going to share something that probably won’t surprise you guys: there have been times in my life when I was a loser. My most loser behavior was perhaps the year when I was obsessed with the actor Paul Dano. I had never really stanned an actor to the point where I was watching all …

Company Enforces Same Punishment Regardless of Lateness, Employee Takes Their Sweet Time
Managers (especially new ones) usually come up with ridiculous rules without considering human behavior and basic cause and effect. If you enforce the same punishment for someone who shows up 5 minutes late to work as someone who arrives 3 hours late to work, do you really think this will prevent general lateness? No, more …
