Honestly, just don't feed into it at all. If they're trying to stir you up, just act completely disinterested in what they are saying. If that makes them heated, offer to revisit another time when they can be less emotionally impacted by your conversation. They just want a reaction out of you to feed their inner crying child so don't give them one and hope they decide to go to therapy one day.

it’s just really frustrating when they do it infront of others

Oh then definitely pull the let's revisit when you're less emotional card. Or just laugh at them. Or ask them to repeat themselves, most people aren't ballsy enough to restate that oh-so-hilarious sassy remark.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months. I’ve noticed a lot of unprofessional behaviour since I’ve started (yelling at workers infront of customers) I’ve bounced around different positions so much that the owner blames 98% of stuff on me when something isn’t done, even if it’s not my responsibility anymore.A week ago I asked for an employment contract to get this straight but nothing yet. What do I do?

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are. I would say over 10 people have stopped me to ask about them or comment on them and I've been at work for maybe 2 1/2 hours. It's all been positive, but am I wrong for still finding it annoying? They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.
