Being decently petty is the best kind of petty Being petty is fun and sometimes very necessary. I always say this, but the petty card should be played only when necessary to send a contundent message that won’t land any other way, and I think this is the perfect example of that.

Employee gives 2 weeks’ notice; boss tells him he can leave in 2 days, not realizing he still had to deliver important reports: ‘They quickly emailed back and said “on second thought, you can stay for the full 2 weeks and get those reports done!”’

Working from home is a blessing and a curse at the same time You’re on your own; no one is there to police what you’re wearing or whether you’ve taken off your pajamas in the last three weeks. You promised it wouldn’t happen to you,

Are written updates an advantage or only a different kind of bias? We have to accept that verbal meetings give more influence to those who feel comfortable raising their voice, speaking, and making themselves noticed. Those meetings primarily benefit the socially dominant. Written updates, on the other hand, are more objective, and if everyone writes them, there is no social bias.

Company finds a way to stop rewarding the loudest voice in the room and start rewarding efficiency: ‘It moved the bias from who is quickest in a room to who can describe what they did, and the second one at least correlates with having done something’

I’ve seen variations of this play out time and time again. Whether it’s upper management asking their employees to track how many hours their work actually takes, with the secret intention of making them prove

Employee realizes that management values teams that look stressed over ones that deliver: ‘I spent two years building a healthy operational system, only to learn that executives reward visible panic over competence’

We all understand that a benefit can be a little exaggerated in a job offer, but a straight-up lie is a little bit more complicated I guess this bold statement the company

Employee only realized what unlimited PTO really meant once he was already working for the company: ‘They said unlimited and “true” unlimited, that most people take around 6 weeks off a year’

We should take his story as an example or a to-do list for when we find ourselves trapped in a situation like this- when somebody else takes credit for something we did, especially in the workplace or university, for example.

UPDATE on the employee who took credit for his coworker’s project: ‘Apparently my coworker had presented my involvement as occasional support, not me doing significant parts of the work’

Friend persuades employee to let him use employee discount, protests when he bans him from letting others use it too: 'I'm not turning my employee account into a group coupon'

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This story’s depiction of management reasoning is way beyond my comprehension. I get that you’re mad because you got a 1-star review

Woman reports that her coworker showed up 30 minutes late, and management blames her for the fallout: ‘They figured the whole thing was my fault for disclosing that my coworker was late and was the person responsible for the 1 star review’

Sometimes being honest works against us I can’t believe this employee wrote an entire post without realizing he is the one who’s in the wrong. I can’t believe that being morally correct isn’t always the best. Being honest is absolutely a virtue, but one has to have enough malice to understand whether it works in our favour in a specific scenario.

Man tracks how much time his job actually takes, and it’s far less than expected: ‘I thought maybe this would finally start a conversation about shorter weeks or at least letting us work from home those days’
