Take me away, far, far away. Let me use my PTO and take a day off. Please, boss, don't make me stay. See, that rhymes. I'm a good rhymer. I also really need a vacation. Employees get PTO but if we're being honest, it's frowned upon to take them. A job is like a marriage. Remember your vows. ‘I, worker, take you, job, to be my partner, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish'… you get the idea. You ne…

Being a nanny can be a rewarding job, but as with any job, there are always some wild offers that come your way. This nanny in particular has had her fair share of crazy job offers she's received from parents, and they are sure to leave you scratching your head. One offer she received was from a family who wanted her to work 60 hours a week for $30k/year, and another family that tried to lower her rate from $22/hour to $4.50/hour. And the best one yet: a family offered to pay her...

The interviewing process for a new job is so tedious. Nowadays you have to go through 5 interviews, 3 assignments and need a warm recommendation from the president. Seriously, things have gotten out of hand. Why is it so hard to get a job? The market is absolutely bonkers, jobs aren't paying well enough to keep up with inflation, and recruiters ghost you after ‘being with you every step of the way’ for 2 months. It's exhausting, disappointing, and discourages you from ever finding a job. This c…

This is your captain speaking… get out of that seat! Working as an airline pilot does have that fun perk: the pilot gets to say, “This is your captain speaking,” and then they tell you about the weather and how long it'll take to get to your destination.

There are some people in this world who seem to gain fulfillment from pointing out the mistakes of others. Most of the time, we find these individuals among various authority figures in our lifetime: teachers, bosses, etc. However, every so often, you will come across a stranger who will make it known to anyone who will listen that you made a mistake. This flight passenge r accidentally got his seat number wrong when he came across an entitled Karen, who subsequently made a scene when she found…

Have you ever seen a movie so bad that the crowd starts heckling the film ? It's rare, but it happens. Depending on the theater you go to and the time you attend, you might find yourself laughing along to the audience's own version of Riff Trax instead of the actual movie. There's a sweet spot for hecklers. The movie has to be so bad that most people aren't enjoying it; a few people have even walked out while shaking their heads and talking about getting refunded. (If someone starts yelling at…

Picture this: your manager is incompetent, you do most of their work for the better part of the year, and then, she tries to fire you! That's right. You would think the final part of that journey would be a well-deserved raise or promotional opportunity. Perhaps some acknowledgment of all this hard work and going above and beyond would have been nice. Instead of gratitude, all this manager felt at the end of the day was threatened. This Redditor shared how she managed to come out of this toxic…

Grab your welder's glasses because this petty revenge is so brilliant, it may cause retinal damage

When the hybrid model of working was first introduced, people discovered a new way of living. Suddenly you could do what you had been doing from your dark, grey cubicle at work, from the comfort of your home. You didn't need to take a 1-hour commute, which saved you time, energy, and actually gave you more time to work. But over time, companies have been snatching employees up and dragging them back to full-time… or have they? You tell me. One person took to Reddit and complained about working…

Today is a great day to remember not to believe everything you read online. This is especially true if you're swiping through social media apps like TikTok and saving the recipes for later. A lot of them might look good on camera, but they won't actually taste good. I actually do sometimes make TikTok recipes but only by first looking up a proper recipe for it elsewhere. For example, there was a parmesan potato recipe going around that looked excellent, so I just looked up a proper recipe onlin…

One dude was the worst kind of friend you could have. Let's call him Ken. See, Ken had a friend by the name of… let's say, Scott. Ken and Scott were buddies, and when Ken got himself into a tight spot at the ripe age of 28, Scott let him sleep at his place (for free), bought him groceries, and even took care of his cat. All of which he really didn't have to do. Ken didn't work, didn't want to look for a job, and one day, disappeared, leaving his cat with Scott, who didn't particularly want his…

Bad experiences are a dime a dozen when it comes to interviewing for a retail role; in no other line of work are there so many desperate interviewing managers looking for such a high level of effort and experience for such minimal pay. Usually, if an interviewer takes issue with you, there's no coming back from it, no avenue of recourse; after all, they're the ones doing the judging, and you hold very little control over the situation outside of your ability to walk away. Yet, sometimes, a hidd…

You know that feeling everyone occasionally gets at work that you're being watched 24/7? Well, what if you suddenly discovered that this was actually the case? Sometimes when you have a micromanager for a boss, you get the feeling that someone is breathing down your neck and following your every move, as if they are just waiting to point out an error or give you a hard time about the way in which you go about fulfilling your daily responsibilities at work. This obviously does not make for a ple…

Why can't “because they're a Karen” be enough to get someone fired?…

There's nothing more delicious than a home-cooked meal after a long morning at work. Not only does your lunch break provide a reprise from the laborious load of the day, but it also gives coworkers a chance to mingle, relax, and chow down on some decent grub. In the workplace in our next story, warehouse laborers live a spoiled life, enjoying home-cooked lunches from a fellow coworker...
