Manager spends 6 months demanding work on weekends, employee refuses to continue before big project deadline: ‘Hope you’re not busy’

Is there any scenario when it’s acceptable for a 9-to-5 boss to contact their employee out of hours? When most people sign up to do the average job, they expect that there is going to be a time of day when they get to clock out and at least try not to think about it …

23-year-old tells neighbor the whole neighborhood hates her because her house has been under loud construction for 7 months: ‘People are tired.’

She shouldn’t be surprised that her neighbors are annoyed with the construction. Construction is often inevitable. You can’t live in a neighborhood, drive on a highway, or live in modern civilization without having to deal with being around construction for some period of time. There was construction right outside of my dorm room window, Sophomore …

Parents scold 25-year-old son for refusing to babysit his 18-year-old sister for a weekend: ‘She is a fully functioning 18-year-old. My wife and I also live about a 5-minute drive away from their house.’

What is their problem?  How old were you when your parents started letting you stay home alone? I was about 10 or 11 when I could stay home by myself for a couple of hours at a time. My sister and I still had a babysitter if my parents were out for the night, but …

32-year-old aunt schedules last-minute wedding the weekend after her 18-year-old nephew’s high school graduation, freaks out when her sister, her nephew’s mom, refuses to attend

Good for his mom for refusing to put up with this nonsense.  Graduations are not among the things you can reschedule. Well, I guess the Class of 2020 technically did reschedule some of their graduation ceremonies for 2021, but those redo ceremonies were not the same. Graduation ceremony dates are set in stone years before …

Software engineer working 70 hours a week quits after his manager berates him for not working at 7 PM on a Saturday: ‘My parents think I lost my mind, but for the first time in a long time, my chest feels light.’

He needs some time to recover from burnout.  We all deserve time off work outside the two-day weekend. Two days are hardly enough time to recover from the five-day workweek, but if you’ve been working day after day and day after day without a break, a two-day weekend might sound like heaven on earth. It’s …

Manager demands worker send her coworkers home early during the holiday weekend, yells at her for doing so: ‘I asked 2 people to leave at 1:30pm. We close at 5:00pm, and from 4:30 to 5:00 we got slammed.’

She did exactly what her boss asked her to do, and she got punished for it. There’s nothing more tedious than working a retail job when there are no customers to speak of. If you’ve ever worked one of these positions, you know that employees are often encouraged to make themselves busy with whatever they …
