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 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!

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 …

Toxic Management Puts Employee on a «Wall of Shame» For Calling Out After Her Dog Died
It can be hard to get sympathy in the workplace after a pet dies. I experienced this firsthand when I worked at, of all places, a dog bakery. After an entire summer of covering my coworker’s shifts anytime they wanted to go to a concert or go on vacation, I begged for somebody to take …

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 …

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 …
