Honesty is the best policy.

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.

If you know anything about Beyoncé fans, it's that they are fierce tweeters. As Beyoncé's single BREAK MY SOUL was released last night, the Bey Hive was up praising their queen. The response to the song was generally positive, but there was one aspect that stood out to fans in particular, and that was the anti-work themes of the song. The lyrics resist burnout, saying “Now, I just fell in love, and I just quit my job. I'm gonna find new drive, d*mn, they work me so damn hard. Work by nine then…

Job interviews are one of the more nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing things a person can experience. To take an already stressful situation and crank up the discomfort by throwing some sexual harassment into the mix is downright sociopathic. When u/R_Rover_2013 called out her interviewer after he asked a series of highly personal and inappropriate questions, he threw a fit and ended the interview. I guess he thought asking a potential hiree about what kind of guys she likes to date was a total…

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?!

Contradictory, much?

Working from home rules for many reasons. Many of us (and our employers) adopted the practice out of necessity during the pandemic - it's a good way to keep operations going while still keeping people safe during a very scary time. We never thought that the delight of working in pajamas next to your pet would last this long, and we have grown accustomed to its perks: spending less time and money on commuting, being able to make lunch and coffee at home instead of buying it at overpriced and med…

Instead of reading this, get a job

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…

What if you could get paid to do nothing?

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…

Ah, employment. There's nothing like a dead-end job or a lousy boss to make you hate everything about your existence, and sadly, these conditions are a lot more common than they should be. We've all had to put up with things that shouldn't happen at work, but it is only a brave or at least extremely peed off few who are bold enough to quit on the spot. At least, that's what you might expect. However, an AskReddit by u/Sketch99 which questioned what made people immediately leave their jobs sugge…

This dude went for it.
