Rules for thee, but not for me. Every office has a different vibe when it comes to noise. In some offices, everyone is quiet all day long, gets their work done, and only talks when saying hi to their coworkers in the morning and bye to them in the afternoon. That is the kind of …

Boss demands more collaboration between employees while scheduling 6 hours of back-to-back meetings every day: ‘When exactly is the «collaboration» supposed to happen?’
How are they supposed to get anything done? There is nothing more frustrating to employees than a pointless meeting.

Part time employee working from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM refuses to come in early to help her coworkers: ‘When I say early, I mean like 3 AM.’
Why should she have to help everyone else get their work done? There are some downsides to being an incredibly hardworking, competent employee.

Boss schedules student employee for 7 AM Monday shift, even though he knows she has class at that time: ‘I can only work the late shift on Monday.’
Campus jobs shouldn’t be allowed to schedule students during their classes. You would think that managers hiring college students would understand that their schooling is important to them, but that’s not always the case. For some college town jobs, the best-case scenario is that their employees drop out of school and start working for them …

Boss constantly schedules 18-year-old high school student for 10 AM weekday shifts: ‘They scheduled me on my Prom night, which I crossed off my availability last month.’
Why do they think that an after-school job is more important than school? If you had a job as a teenager, chances are, you had a boss who couldn’t understand why you cared more about school than the job. Some kids do put their work above everything else in their life, either because they have …

Mom gets 17-year-old daughter fired from her first job: ‘She realized I would have more freedom with a job, and she couldn’t let me have it.’
Getting a job could mean getting away from her mother, which she desperately needs to do. Teenagers need to get away from their parents one way or another.

Boss schedules an HR meeting with new hire at 3:30 on a Friday: ‘Is this a sign I am getting fired?’
A 3:30 meeting with HR on a Friday is never a good sign. We all go through things in life that are not workproof.

There is no set’ end time’ for the workday, and it’s making his employees downright batty. Have you ever worked somewhere where your boss wants you to stay ‘until the work is finished?’ On my very first day at a restaurant, I asked the manager if I could leave at 9:45 because that was the …

Employee turns office clock back 10 minutes to make it look like she arrived at work 10 minutes early
She changed the time that her coworker signed in on the sign-in sheet to make herself look overly punctual. It’s better to be early than late! As a certified early bird, I know all too well that if you plan to get somewhere early, you’re way less likely to get there late, which sounds like …
