Boss requires housekeepers to wear skin-tight pants and non-breathable shirt as part of work uniform, workers claim it’s a health hazard: ‘He refuses to listen to us because he thinks they look great’
Most of us don’t really enjoy wearing uniforms. I, for one, wore a uniform for many years and hated almost every minute of it, for a few reasons.

Interviewee incessantly monologues at hiring manager, he cuts him off and tell him to ‘shut up and listen’: ‘You walked into this room with a 99 percent chance of getting the job’
We all need a little honest feedback every now and again. Most of us get very little of it in our day-to-day. We’re all used to being so polite to each other all the time that it can start to lack substance. I’m not necessarily complaining about this. I don’t mind having my feelings spared. …

30-year-old employee gets paid $27K a month to sit around and do nothing for 7 hours a day, asks how to deal with the boredom: ‘A good paycheck doesn’t cancel out mental burnout’
Where are all these jobs where you sit at a desk all day and do nothing? I’ve known so many people who have full-time jobs where they barely do anything, and are able to get away with it for years at a time. It’s normal for a company to have busy seasons where employees have …

‘It’s not normal’: Boss looks through employee’s emails while he was on vacation, marks them unread to cover his tracks
Privacy at work is an interesting concept. Obviously, you’re entitled to a certain amount of it no matter what. You don’t sign away all your rights when you sign up for a new job. But you also have to learn the new rules around privacy concerning your job. If you work for someone else, they …

Everyone has different visions of how they’d like their future to go. We all have different dreams and fantasies about what we’d like to do when we get older. I picture myself as an eccentrically-dressed old woman who has stopped caring about which patterns match and if that dress is too sheer to wear in …

HR retaliates at employee’s boyfriend under the guise of them breaking the rules, girlfriend suggests she’s jealous: ‘It’s pretty evident she no longer likes me’
Romantic relationships and the workplace tend to work best if it’s on television and your names are Jim and Pam. For everyone else, it’s usually a rocky road. There is so much that can go wrong if you date somebody that you work with. It might seem like a good idea in the beginning, but …
