How dare this employee leave at 4:57 PM, leaving his workplace short 3 minutes of work? 

Micromanaging bosses are a dime a dozen. They sure love to worry about how employees are spending their time! 

Although the remote-work lifestyle was popular for a while, bosses now are demanding that employees return to the office. 

They seem to think that employees who wake up early, do a grueling commute, eat leftovers for lunch, and sit in the office until the sun goes down, are somehow more productive than employees who work remote, doing everything on their own terms. Remote workers are more productive, and they're a lot happier, but bosses feel a lack of control over these employees. 

The "who pays on a date" debate is as old as dating itself. But what the girl in this story should do isn't up for debate because the guy she met is obviously undateable

A homeowner recently decided that they wanted to plant some bushes to get a little more privacy, but when they did, their neighbor threw a hissy fit and said he was on their property. Then this entitled neighbor went and paid $2,000 to get his property surveyed to add emphasis to his demands. Unfortunately for him, the surveyor actually proved that he was the one encroaching on the other neighbor's property. 

Of course, now he's gone silent and isn't bothering the neighbor about his bushes, but now the neighbor is annoyed. He wants this man to move his fence back and remove all of his cheap plastic flamencos and security cameras from his front lawn. Or should he just be happy that this entitled guy isn't bothering him anymore about his trees?…

The "alpha male" garbage has struck again! In fact, it ended up getting this car dealership employee fired. 

Most people with a brain know that the "alpha male" talk is just that, talk. It doesn't actually get you anywhere, and the men perpetuating it are just using it to make money. If you're falling for it, you're falling for their absurd scheme. Unfortunately, people do fall for it. Just like this workplace clown who wanted to "impress" the new front desk employee. She was a cute mousey 22-year-old, and he was tired of being seen as the goofy guy. So he researched "alpha male" content, and you know where that got him? Landed him in a one-on-one meeting with HR because the new employee felt creeped out, and then he eventually got fired… 

Narcissistic bosses tend to reprimand their employees for simply following orders.

Why is this a common phenomenon? Well, it probably has something to do with the fact that many poor-performing managers give bad orders. When they see the repercussions of those orders play out in front of them, they don't know how to handle it. So, instead of taking it like a champion and admitting their faults, they punish their employees instead. It's much easier to do, if you didn't know…

Take the boss in this story, for example. They are enforcing a rather unpopular protocol in the office, having to do with keeping employees' personal belongings off their desks. The employee doesn't want to write down their colleagues' "violations" each time they occur, but their boss insists. So, they follow the demands to the letter. The boss didn't like that one bit.

Sometimes, the only way to get your roommate to respect your boundaries is to test theirs.

When you move in with someone, not only do you sign a contractual agreement with your landlord, but you're often agreeing to a nonverbal understanding that both parties will treat one another with respect. 

Now, respect among roommates comes in many forms. Of course, there is the importance of giving one another a respectable amount of personal space. However, there is also keeping one another informed on visitors, commitments, and relevant logistics that might affect the other person's living experience. And then there's respecting one another's personal belongings by, well, not touching them.

This roommate could not help himself from eating the author's food repeatedly. Despite several attempts to ask him to purchase and consume his own food, he refused to follow through with his fake promises. This left the author with no other choice but to find alternative methods to keep his roommate from touching his food.

When a neighbor is taking something that's yours, they'll find every excuse in the book to keep it that way.

It's just another day, so you might as well laugh at some memes. 

Nobody wants to work these days… more than what they are being paid for.

Every time your boss approaches you with a new task or an addition to your daily workload, the first thing you should ask yourself before taking it on is: "Am I being paid enough to do this?"

Wanting to prove yourself at your job shouldn't mean you must overwork yourself to burnout, and no one should feel bad about telling their boss that they have enough on their plate at the moment. 'No' is a full sentence, even if you say it to a manager. If they can't see value in an employee who knows their limits, they may not be the type of person you want to work for.

Any manager would try to save money for the company by letting one employee do the work of two, as long as they can get away with it. When the coworker in the story below quit their job, that is exactly what the manager tried to do with the remaining employee. Without saying much, this boss added one task after the other to the employee's workload, until they basically found themselves doing their coworker's job on top of their own. 

After a subtle pat on their back, and no talk about a title change or compensation for doing the job of two, this employee realised exactly the situation they gotten themselves into: They showed their manager that the company can refrain from hiring a replacement for the coworker who left, and they willingly put themselves in a position they cannot take back.

Now, this employee is unsure of how to proceed. Should they stand up for themselves and tell their boss exactly what tasks they are willing and unwilling to do, or should they give up completely and look for another job? One thing they know for sure is that they can't keep working while doing the job of two, but for some reason, they find it too hard to say that to their boss…
