This husband is in hot water with his significant other after he left out a crucial detail about a work event . It all revolves around a certain work party: a dinner held to celebrate the employees meeting their financial goals. Every company has different etiquette rules regarding business dinners and other social events. Sometimes spouses are invited, sometimes they aren't, and some companies never allow a plus-one. This person, who has since deleted their Reddit account, shared that their hu…

When working with a manager who is both incompetent and egotistical, it's probably a good idea to be cautious and take defensive measures… like maintaining a paper trail that can easily disprove any trumped up charges laid against you. It's always best to be on your toes and have a backup prepared, as they could turn on you at any moment should you question one of their decisions or even be too proficient and simply become too much of a threat. This means ensuring that your paper trail could st…

We can't think of a more perfect family for Buddy

Nice LinkedIn post bro

"In 50 years, teenagers will be rolling their eyes at their parents' ancient 2020s memes while using slang that makes 'yeet' sound like Shakespeare."

The next generation of workers is sparking a lot of conversation online, and for good reason. In this post, a man praises a minimum-wage trainee who told her boss she wouldn't be attending an after-hours, 3-hour-long meeting since she wasn't being paid to go. The man said he praises this next generation of workers who have the guts to stand up for themselves in the workplace, something he said took him many years to learn. Several other employees agreed, saying they are proud of this next gener…

This boss just had to involve himself in a project that he didn't really understand. Instead of just letting the pros do their job, he had to double down. This freelancer, u/dodgeballwater, shared that they were working for a big company focused on cell phone networks. This was back when we still had 2G and 2.5G internet speeds, a far cry from what we have today with 4G and 5G. For lots of humanity's recent history, the internet has just been slow. It'd be eye-opening to show today's kids how p…

There are great ways to quit and then there are iconic ways to quit. This former employee should be inducted into the Hall of Fame for workers who have had it with their horrible bosses. Before we get into the petty revenge itself, let's start with some backstory. This office was already a tense environment on a daily basis, with employees regularly crying at their desks and getting publicly ridiculed by the CMO and director for innocent and minor mistakes. One day, this Redditor's former cowor…

Excel may be boring as heck, but it comes in clutch sometimes in the workplace and whether we like it or not, it's a necessary evil at the office-- just like incompetent bosses. Strangely, every work scenario is plagued with a useless boss who parades around their department as if they know anything that goes on under the hood and it's rare that we see their arrogant ineptitude called out.

Only the most brave people are capable of having a successful startup. It does not matter how smart you are, or how brilliant your ideas are, if you don't have an incredible amount of sheer resilience or bravery, you will never be able to make something out of your startup. That said, once you have started this journey, you can never turn back. Being an entrepreneur becomes your whole personality, not to mention that it is also your whole life. You have to work endlessly to make your idea becom…

This designer got stuck with a ceaseless micromanager. That's one way to make a job completely unpleasant. A designer headed to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit to share this eye-opening tale of an entitled client who got the website she deserved. With a client needing a website designed, it's typical for the designer to go back and forth with them numerous times. They designer will create a mockup, but the client will have just a few tweaks. Sometimes they'll say things like, “Wow, this loo…

Sometimes, writing a measured review is the only way to frustrate the people who did you wrong. It's funny how we often associate these kinds of critical reviews with entitled Karen on the internet when it has to do with customer service encounters. However, when it comes to reviews of companies, we tend to immediately side with the people writing the review. What does this say about our culture and inherent biases? Well, it has a lot to do with authority complexes and power dynamics, as do mos…

Nice comeback bro

they have a point

This is what happens to companies that put a cap on the amount of raises they will give to their employees. This loyal employee had been working at his company for ten years, at which point he received his final raise. Naturally, a lack of mobility or incentive does not do much to maintain a sense of loyalty from even your most loyal employees and coworkers. This boss came to understand that the hard way, as this employee only waited to receive his final raise so that he could then leverage tha…

Poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my end, as a wise person once said. That won't stop some people from doing that anyway, as this bakery worker was surprised to discover. While event planning, there's a lot to consider. Who should be invited? Where will the venue be? What kinds of decorations will we need? And of course, what will everyone be eating? That last one is pretty important. Having quality food can make or break an event. I'm sure we all remember a wedding…
