This should be at the top of the list!

Yes! A job is not your LIFE and anyone who expects it to be is a whackadoo

This looks like a sound business model to me! I wish you success.

what a fairy tale ending actually is:

Are we related?

I used to open our offices at seven in the morning, but would actually get there to begin at about twenty to seven. I had a new manager who rather aggressively questioned my time keeping (much to my annoyance) I told him in no uncertain terms that each morning I came in twenty to thirty minutes early as attested to by other staff. Also I had never missed an opening for over twelve years. And most importantly if he wasn't such a Pr@t he would realise that it could all be checked by the alarm system that had to be unset each morning. I walked away rather than give him the slap he so richly deserved.

The fact that HR did not set it up yet doesn't question where it came from is slightly more concerning

Why is this actually a common thing

shocker (hehehehe pun)

Don't forget KPI's, EBIDTA and all those meetings...

"Quick chat.....bring your coat"

Me at school this week: 100% interest……in going home.

My boss just calls me. But we're a Camera-Off kinda place. Nobody wants to see your face, especially if you don't want to be seen.

Moral of the story: Stay in school as long as possible.

Hahahahaha. True story.

My question about putting that in any email is... What if the email finds you extremely unwell in fact in desperate need of medical attention. Is it going to help you?

This is a firm that cares.

I recently got a new job as an office manager for a clinic. I went in at 8a and about halfway through day #1 the trainer told me that I'd be there until 7p. "Umm... what?" Her, "Oh, we have 11 hours days on Monday and Wednesday. But Friday is only 6 hours so that's nice!" You know what else is nice? Not working here. Fifteen years as a nurse working double shifts says I won't be doing that anymore. Especially because you didn't tell me up front.

When I die, I want to come back as a very much loved and indulged pet, preferably a cat or dog. Sleep 20 to 23 hours a day, and spend the rest of the time doing whatever I want, because 1) I was not born with the equipment to have any f***s to give, and 2) my hoomans always let me get way with murder because I’m so cute. Heaven.

Seriously. I don't need to have a bond with Denise to send her the reports she never reads.

Time stamped 9:01 am. Monday.

hell yes!!!!!!!

Me: i need monys

I have started responding with only, "Can you be more clear?"

I am a manager and believe PTO is meant to be used. I never ask why anyone needs time off. I have had folks call in because they "just can't" today and it's not an issue to me. I get it.

Most people’s contributions at meetings, especially when the bigwigs are there, are performative. That goes double for the brown nosers.

Work 3 days, off 4 days = work/life balance

I hope this is merely a joke, because the person who thought they were texting their boss probably needs that job.
