Hello April

So not cool

Airports are one of those necessary evils in life. Sometimes you want to be zipping down a ski slope or splashing in some clear blue water at a beach somewhere. But in order to get there, you'll have to endure a few hours of airport nightmares . I can't begin to tell you how many fake cell phone chargers there are in our country's airports. Judging by the folks at r/mildlyinfuriating who shared pics of their latest airport adventures, people absolutely love to get stickers that look like chargi…

Take that PTO

Why don't more employees take some well-deserved time off? First of all, the workload. It's hard to feel ‘okay’ with taking time off when your workload feels crushing. Bosses like to pile it up instead of hiring someone else. Why pay 2 salaries when you can pay 1? Not that they enjoy paying you for overtime… of course, they try to cram your projects and responsibilities into 8 or 9 hours. They don't want to pay you more . Second, work culture. Maybe they don't feel comfortable asking for time o…

This company got bought out over and over again. It's no wonder the employees who remained had to deal with so many shenanigans from their managers. One of the best parts of working a salaried job is racking up paid time off days . Everyone uses their allotted time a little differently---some people love to take the family to Disney or on a camping trip a couple of times a year, while others take a few days here and there to do weekend adventures. No matter where you go, you come back feeling r…

These bosses picked the exact wrong employee to mess with. Some companies think so highly of themselves that they forget to show appreciation to the employees who make the magic happen. We all know that in today's day and age, the best way to grow your salary and gain extra PTO is by job hopping (aka moving companies every couple years). But it wasn't always like that. Just ask Jimmy, an older employee at a company who stayed at the same job for more than four decades ! That's real loyalty ther…

Rich people doing rich people things

Eh, the weekend went by too fast… What is it with time? It really does fly when you're having fun. So, what about these wholesome memes and posts? They're here to put a smile on your face, my friend. Life is frustrating and we could all use some extra serotonin now and again. So if you're feeling overworked, underpaid, and just generally in dire need of a vacation, I've got you covered. Below you will find heartwarming stories by people who had cool encounters with strangers, pets, and even the…

How does that work?

'I'm out of here!' — Or at least, that's what some brave employees say when their manager comes up with the next ‘best’ micromanaging thing to say. It's almost like managers don't get how they're hurting the company. They think that ‘nobody wants to work these days’ but they couldn't be further from the truth. See, people do want to work these days… They just don't want to work for you . Maybe if you'd be nicer and take your employees into consideration, they would. But that's too hard, right?…

Airbnb used to be way cheaper, but thanks to inflation (among other things), it's almost better to check into a hotel. Also, hosts can be frustrating to deal with. I'm not saying guests are angels, but let's just say it's a double-edged sword. This poster (OP) was attending a friend's wedding and opted to stay in an Airbnb. They had to make sure that pets were welcome, because they were bringing along their dog. Luckily they found just the place but upon arrival, the Airbnb owner showed up unan…

The cat distribution system is working overtime

Let this person's story be a cautionary tale for any traveler . Do you use your hotel's safe while traveling? For a lot of people, they don't think they have anything valuable enough to store inside it, so they just don't use it. Other people use them every time in order to protect their wallets, keys, jewelry, and other valuables. This person was startled to learn that a hotel maid may have been trying to steal from them. In fact, it seems like the maid stole their money right in front of them…

Company loyalty isn't really a thing anymore. Our Boomer parents can boast about their pensions and their work ethic, but when a company has nothing to give you after years of service–not even an inflation-covering raise–why would you stick around? Contrary to popular belief, you CAN buy loyalty… especially in the workplace.
