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. Everyone is the main character of their own story, so they generally don’t appreciate when others treat them like an incapable child. Heck, I didn’t even enjoy that when I was a kid. Let me free, man. I can handle my own business. But unfortunately, …

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 …

‘It’s not your job to Cover shifts’: Manager expects employee to work off the clock, employee threatens to quit
I think being a manager in a customer service job might be one of the worst gigs out there. Not only do you have all the pain and annoyance of working that kind of job, but you also have the added responsibility of everything going wrong falling on your shoulders. You’re the ultimate fall guy. …

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, …

‘Multiple managers viewed my LinkedIn profile’: Worker sets LinkedIn status to ‘open to work’ after HR puts them on a performance improvement plan
LinkedIn is one social media site you must be careful while using. Casually applying to different jobs is all fun and games until you go from barely using it to being on it every night from 7-10. 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! I’m sure we’ve all been under the guidance of a manager who throws up their hands in frustration whenever they …
