One of the key aspects of work is that you get paid for it. It’s kind of a non-negotiable. Or else it would be called volunteering, and we’d get to leave whenever we wanted. But some employers don’t seem to understand this, or else don’t care that that’s the whole conceit. Plus, there are laws …

‘I think I just hate working’: Gen Z prompts sympathy after crashing out about working 8 to 5 job

Manager blames employee for not reminding him about raise: ‘I actually did 3 times in 3 weeks starting a week after my 90 day anniversary’
Asking for a raise is not an easy thing to do. It’s putting yourself out there, and putting yourself out there is not something that everyone feels comfortable doing. You also might fear rejection. It’s hard to work yourself up to ask for something and then not get it. It can make you feel like …

‘My boyfriend had to block the owner’: Woman makes boyfriend quit his job 2 days into working after owner’s erratic behavior
Starting a new job always comes with some risks. You never truly know what you’re in for until you’re knee deep in it already. There is only so much you can glean from a job description and a couple of rounds of interviews. Everyone is usually on their best behavior through these, so there’s not …

‘Boss asked me to show team spirit and come in unpaid’: Job asks employee who just worked 6 days straight to come in for a 7th day to ‘volunteer’ unpaid, employee quits on the spot

Worker leaves his phone on the back of a work truck, blames coworker for driving away and breaking it and wants him to pay half: ‘He left his phone in a stupid place’
It’s always awkward when you break something. Who hasn’t been at a party where a glass was broken? If you haven’t, then you haven’t been to a party. And I’ve been that person who has shattered glass when I certainly did not mean to (who means to?) You do your best to immediately apologize and …

Factory employee rejects coworkers’ invitation to hang out after work 10+ times, gets angry when they stop inviting her to hang out: ‘You guys never invite me to anything. I’m always the one left out.’
We all have different levels of closeness with our friends. I have some friends that I see multiple times a week, others I see at least once a month, and a handful that I never really hang out with one-on-one. It’s perfectly normal to realize after a couple of times hanging out with somebody that …
