A joke?.. In this economy?! Regardless, you know it's a good joke when it's so good that HR wants to hear it. It's no secret that employers can be a little sensitive to derogatory statements about the quality of the work environment that they're providing for their workers—even if those statements are completely irrefutably accurate. This usually involves remuneration but also extends to other aspects of the workplace culture and environment. Basically, the method of operation in these workplac…

If you choose to dedicate a lot of years to a company, it's only fair to expect recognition for your loyalty. Once you hit 10, 20, or even 30 years of experience in your field, if you happen to you find yourself not being treated right despite your extensive loyalty to an employer, there's a good chance that there are other employers out there that will appreciate your skills and dedication. With that being said, get your employees a dang gift for their work anniversary.

The opposite of a holiday bonus

Not all gifts are created equal

What sort of heartless person would steal Christmas gifts out from under the office tree? The Grinch, of course.

Gift giving is generally stressful. This year we have an easy holiday guide for you to follow and it revolves around Taylor Swift.

Generosity is important

No mercy

Not everyone is good at giving gifts. Obviously, for some people out there, it's their bread and butter. Their love language, if you will. If that's you, congratulations. However, the rest of us (myself included) were not born with the “good gift-giver” gene. As someone who was once gifted a dictionary and a pencil case holder for my 15th birthday, not to mention a DVD of Inside Out for my 21st birthday, I was not raised to be good at this. That's why when this time of year rolls around, I get…

Giggles are the best gift

That's not how gifts work

What kind of logic is that?

There are certain team-bonding work traditions that should be disbanded and one of them is most certainly Secret Santa. First of all, there's the money factor. Even if the fixed price everyone should spend is decided to be $10, I don't want to spend two cents on anyone at work and I'm pretty sure they'd say the same about me. There is absolutely no ill will or bitterness here; in fact, to me, it feels like a healthy mutual understanding. Now, the next reason why Workplace Secret Santa should be…

Family members can be least grateful band of blood relatives out there. For some, they feel as if their genetic relations entitle them to special treatment, which sometimes it does, but when cousins, uncles, siblings, and grannies start taking advantage of their family members's niceties, blood-relations quickly turn bitter. In this case, a family run business was being extraordinarily generous to their kin...

When you think about management, especially upper management, the words that come to mind don't tend to be, 'kind', 'warmhearted', 'generous', or 'wholesome'. But in this case, an employer proved that some bosses are more involved in their employees personal lives than you'd think, but in the best way. OP had a few health problems and had a surgery scheduled to treat them. Unfortunately, OP was then informed that the surgery cost way more than she'd initially expected… which made OP cancel it.…
