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 …

Senior Engineer Makes $20K Less Than Junior Engineers Despite Being a Top Performer
Historically, I’ve been bad at acquiring a lot of money. When I was in college, I had three internships, and not a single one of them was paid. When my bosses at my part-time jobs told me I’d be making minimum wage, I accepted that without dispute. Also, I live in New York City, so …

Boss Takes Away Employees Chair Privileges, Forces Them To Stand For 8 Hours Straight
Recently I’ve been thinking about how there are very few jobs where employees have a good balance of sitting and standing. When you work a sedentary job, it has a lot of detrimental impacts on your health. Workers who sit all day are unlikely to get enough exercise, especially if they commute by car. Having …

‘We are professionals and that is what’s expected of us’: Awful Boss Demands Employees Work 60+ Hours Per Week
You can only work so many hours every week before you crack. While some think 40 hours a week is a back-breaking amount of working hours, others must tolerate 50-60 hours of weekly work to stay afloat financially.
