I once stayed at a job just for the perks and free snacks. No growth, no recognition, no new skills. But hey - free breakfast, kombucha on tap, a massage chair. Looking back I should have left way sooner. What is the most ridiculous reason you stayed at a job longer than you should have?

I’ve kept a job just bc it paid cash

I mean, cash has its benefits.

Because I wanted to “prove” to my bigoted, abusive boss that I was as good at my job as I was and not as godsawful as she always told me I was. Yeah, sure, she’s totally going to see the light even though she shouts at me for 30 minutes straight on the floor every shift when I’m supposed to be doing other things—like my job. Okay, me. 🙄

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

I started a job with a restaurant as part time they hired me at a higher wage but after working for one week the other manager came to me telling me that they can’t afford what the other manager and I agreed on so now i have to work at less or I could look for another work options, she meant I should leave otherwise. What should I do?

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?
