People are becoming much more critical of recruiters' rhetoric during the Great Resignation era. Even as early as the application process, employers will show their slips, and it will be apparent that their business is not an ideal working environment . Red flags during the hiring process should never be brushed off or ignored, and this case is no exception to that rule. Reddit user Iambacon shared a job posting they found on Facebook to r/recruitinghell. There were several things with this pos…

Imagine working your butt off in the hope that the extra effort might lead to adequate compensation, and then management decides to “show appreciation” with a pizza party or an e-card with clipart of a cake on it that says “great job.” To all the bosses out there, if you're reading this, listen up: a pizza party or a cool backpack just doesn't cut it in this economy. The best way to express appreciation for your employees is to adequately pay them. And when the inflation rate is

Tipping is a strange, yet highly normalized custom in American culture. Do you ever stop and wonder about the origins of gratuity in America? The history is pretty damn dark . Nevertheless, tipping workers for their service is deeply embedded into our society and it isn't going away, unless of course, employers start to pay service workers adequately. This r/antiwork post about how a restaurant decided to cut wages because workers were making too much in tips makes us think that's not going to…

Signing bonuses. Health insurance. Paid time-off. A good job isn't just about the salary, and often benefits are the main draw of a job for prospective employees . That's why it's totally devastating when shady employers use loopholes to scam their workers out of hard-earned bonuses, holidays, and other promised benefits. Redditor u/FlabertoDimmadome was so indignant on behalf of their brother that they turned to r/antiwork to vent about how an Amazon warehouse was trying to cheat their brother…

There's no shortage of shady employers out there laughing maniacally as they exploit the meek and unassuming. But a law firm attempting to illegally trick a fellow lawyer into doing free work for them? Some people are as audacious as they are stupid.

It seems like some bosses would rather ruin the reputation of their company than throw a bone to their hardworking employees . There's no shortage of examples on every disgruntled favorite subreddit r/antiwork, but u/DLS3141 's post is something else. When everyone but OP's wife got a raise at her workplace, her boss used OP's salary as a justification, allegedly saying “you don't need it, unlike the men here.” Hello, human resources?!

Horrible bosses are a dime a dozen, but in certain industries, hiring responsible managers is a matter of life and death. When u/Burnandmurder and their coworkers noticed that a couple of their bosses had a habit of getting wasted on the job, they knew they had to do something about it. In OP's line of work, being sober and attentive is of the utmost importance. At first, OP's coworkers didn't have a plan for how they were going to bust their bosses . They needed proof. But then one day, the bo…

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

Imagine getting egged on your way to work by a bunch of teenagers and then your boss scolds you for not having been prepared for such a highly unlikely and random incident. That's exactly what happened to redditor u/Master_Contendr. Not only did they have to sit through work covered in raw egg, but they got chewed out for it too. It's bad enough when your car breaks down or you miss the bus and your boss is like, “you should have left home earlier.” So you expect me to leave earlier than I have…

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…

What should you do if you get stuck at your job site after closing and your manager refuses to help you out because he values the front door more than your wellbeing? Ask Reddit, apparently. When u/Zealousideal-Ebb-481 asked r/legaladvice for guidance while they were literally trapped inside Walmart, the comment section echoed the same answer: call the fire department. While OP was worried about getting fired, many stressed that OP's life would be in danger should an emergency arise. Unsurprisi…
