Remote employee berates coworker for asking CEO why they can work from home and she can’t, refuses to apologize despite making her cry: ‘I would never do what she did and now she won’t do it again.’
There’s a social code among coworkers. Nobody wants to be the person who rats out every mistake a coworker makes to a higher-up. Sometimes, small mistakes can be corrected at the lower level, and no CEO, CFO, or Editor in Chief cares to know about it. We learn this lesson very early on in life. …

The division of labor between members of a household can be hard to dileniate. There’s money to be made, a house to be cleaned, and children to be reared. But who can do it all? But even when you do have a partner to share the load, how do you decide who does what, especially …

Lazy WHF husband constantly criticizes how his highly-educated wife homeschools their 2 kids, yanks pencils out of their hands and yells at her for having dishes in the sink: ‘He has made our homeschool a living nightmare’
Imagine being a student at an elementary school where the principal always looks over your shoulder, yells at your teacher, and tells her that she’s not doing her job right. It would be just as horrific for the teacher who is simply trying to give her students a good education. What can she do in …
