‘It was really stressful and inconvenient for me to find coverage’: Manager asks employee to pay $100 to coworker who covered her shift
I empathize with managers who struggle to get workers to cover shifts for their fellow employees. It’s so screwed up that they have to do their jobs and make sure that the business is functioning, and it’s super selfish for employees to get sick out of the blue without even asking management first! I’m messing …

Micromanager boss reprimands employee for arriving ‘2-3 minutes’ late from lunch: ‘Companies pay people good money to babysit adults’
Micromanaging will get you nowhere. Nobody likes a backseat driver.

Let me free, man. I can handle my own business. But unfortunately, …

Young people all want to work from home now. We’re more focused, our workload is more manageable, and we don’t have a micromanager breathing down our neck every time we need to use the restroom. Personally, I love working from home and relish the chance to type on my laptop from the comfort of my …

Ask many people about the things that they miss from childhood, and a lot of them will probably say something related to not having to work. Remember those months-long school summer holidays?

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 …
