He was a good guy and you’re right, he became someone that I knew had my back.

Many working from home have clever methods to keep them from appearing 'idle'

Job interviews don't have to be one-sided

Boomers of the mainstream media love to accuse millennials of being lazy, spoiled brats who love quitting jobs and spending all their money on Netflix and avocado toast. Boomers always told us that if we worked hard enough, a prosperous and comfortable life was more than possible—it was a promise. Well, turns out that was total bullshit. It's plain to see why, all you have to do is compare inflation and the growth in median rents to the growth in median income over time. In today's economy, "wo…

"We're going to make the infraction worth the punishment"

Many people turned to work-from-home jobs at the height of the pandemic when lockdowns made it impossible for business-as-usual to continue. Telecommuting became the new normal, and suddenly working for a company in another state was an option. Sounds like a win-win for everyone, right? Companies didn't have to pay for office space and remote workers had more free time and newfound flexibility in their schedules. It was all going great until employers started making their remote workers come in…

Some bosses are truly out of their minds.

Every day we do our silly little tasks so we can pay our silly little bills. Don't you wish there was a way you could magically stop working and do whatever the hell you want for a change? How wonderful would it be to have that kind of freedom? Unfortunately, this is real life and as long as there's rent to pay, we plebs are fated to a lifetime of rising and grinding. But hey, at least we have memes . They can try to crush our souls with menial labor, Excel spreadsheets, and useless Zoom meetin…

A good manager makes employees feel supported, heard, and valued. A good manager knows that an empowered employee will do better work than a disgruntled one. A bad manager doesn't care about any of this. A bad manager will unnecessarily flex their power just because they can, even if it means hurting the business. When u/kathjoy called in terribly sick with the flu, her boss gave her an ultimatum: either come into work, get a doctor's note, or get fired. Nearly passing out from her fever, she s…

We've all taken sick days to play hooky from work. It's human nature. But getting caught is never fun. After TikToker @kdimagery360 called in sick, the next day her boss texted her a photo of herself live on TV enjoying a Warriors game. She was truly caught in 4K. TikTokers in the replies were overwhelmingly supportive, arguing that what someone does on a sick day is none of their boss' business.

Sometimes a job can become so unbearable that you just snap

This one's dedicated to the overworked and underpaid

We see you.

The five day work week seems pretty reasonable to us because it's all we've ever known. And before there were laws that protected workers, everyone was unarguably worse off. So why should we complain now? Well, because it's completely sensible to hope for a better world, where people don't have to use what little free time they have to do household work. Of course, not everyone works five days a week. Some people do three long shifts a week, while others have a four-days-on-three-days-off sort o
