Hardworking employee is berated in group chat for small error, makes boss regret it: ‘Staff work hard enough to get nasty texts over a petty thing’
Famous physicist and general smart guy Albert Einstein has a famous (probably untrue) anecdote wherein he wrote up a chalkboard full of correct computations in front of his students while they sat silently.

‘Block her number and move on’: Boutique owner gifts employee jumpsuit from her store, demands it back when employee injures herself

It’s enough of a pain that you have to give your time to your job when you don’t want to, but it’s another thing to have to surrender your personal style as well. I understand that it’s required for safety in some instances, but in …

‘He couldn’t stand the idea of working for someone else’: Breadwinner girlfriend splits expenses 70/30 with jazz musician boyfriend, argues with him about getting a ‘real job’
Being an artist is all about sacrifices. You have to either be willing to live on a shoestring budget, piecing together work while you can, or give in to a ‘real job’ that you can do while pursuing your interests. But things get messy when you try to depend on another person for your financial freedom, especially if that person is …

Happy belated International Worker’s Day to all those who observe! The beginning of May marks a recognition the world over of those who fought for the eight-hour work day so many years ago.

Geriatric Millennial praises Gen Z for having the ‘right attitude’ towards working retail: »I could care less’… That is truly the correct attitude to have’
The only way to survive retail is to be like a duck and let the insults roll off your back like water. At least, that’s what I always told myself when a ruthless Karen was breathing down my neck while I was checking back stock for an impossible item. Just let it roll off. The …

Coffee is delicious, and it’s the first thing I think about in the morning when I wake up from a long night of tossing and turning. I never sleep well. It’s not like one of those things where sometimes you do, then sometimes you don’t… I literally never sleep well. I even went to a …

If every restaurant in America were transparent with their customers about where their food came from, the public would stop eating out as much as they do. Or they would stop for about six months after this Supersize Me-esque revelation, forget …

‘Clearly I’m employee of the year’: Gen Z corporate worker hilariously details how she makes herself at home in the office
By this point, I think it’s fair to say that we have all internalized the idea that each generation is very different in the workplace.
