boss

Being a woman in this world, there are a lot of things that we have to learn the hard way. We learn really early on that women are oppressed, and they don't get paid as much as men, but there are so many more helpful things that women need to understand and also a question. The more women are open with each other and continue to provide each other with the 'secrets of womanhood,' the better.

Some of these realizations shared on Reddit may be hard to swallow, but most should be used to remind you that you are a boss bitch and this is your life! Even the world isn't built for us, we should still strive to take it over.

Power can go to someone's head very quickly. You realize people are doing things for you, sometimes even if you don't even ask, and then you start to tell yourself, "Hey, I must be a pretty important person, I don't have to treat people with respect anymore, dope!" Well, for everyone working 'underneath' you... It sucks. It's so hard because unless somebody plans to quit, they can just tell their boss to screw off. Boy, would it feel good though. Only in my dreams.

For the most part, people are professional at work. They come to work, do their jobs, and don't commit crimes, or sleep with anyone while there. You know, that sort of thing. But others have a hard time sticking to these types of rules and decide that work is an appropriate place to have sex, steal money, and generally disregard all proper social conduct. If you can get away with it, props to you - sort of. Ok, not really. But if you're going to do something that stupid at work, at least make sure you don't get caught. These people share stories of the compromising positions they caught their coworkers in, and the tales are pretty shocking! Have you ever found a coworker in a situation they shouldn't have been?

Every workplace has its secrets, but most of them are on a need-to-know basis. But what happens when you find out something you're not meant to know... you share it on the internet of course! From affairs to shady business deals, Redditers spill all the workplace secrets they aren't meant to know.

We've said time and time again, that a boss can make or break your workplace. And what's worse than having a 'Michael Scott' for a boss; the star of the American sitcom The Office, and the quintessential bad boss. We've all had one before and a Reddit thread asking people to share the most Michael Scott-ish thing their boss ever did has brought up some real classic Steve Carell moments that are totally cringeworthy. Read on and be amazed at these bad bosses. 

Your coworkers can be the difference between loving or hating your job. An AskReddit thread asking people to share stories of the worst coworkers they have ever worked with has revealed just how bad some people have it at work. Hopefully reading these will make you grateful for your coworkers who aren't as bad as you might have thought. Or, it will make you speak to HR just a little faster. Hopefully the former. 

Having a good boss or a bad boss can be the difference between loving and hating your job. Great bosses motivate us, lift us up, and help us grow professionally. Bad bosses hinder our growth, make us miserable, and make us wish we worked anywhere else. Getting your bad boss fired is a fantasy that not many people get to live out, but a Reddit thread asking those few lucky ones who did it for their stories proves just how satisfying it was. Here are their stories. 

Texting the wrong number is always awkward, but when that person is your boss, it can be the end of the world as you know it. If you are unfortunate enough to have sent a text to your boss that wasn't meant for them, hopefully, it was just an innocent funny mistake. But sometimes, it's about the boss themselves, or it's a highly inappropriate text. These people below show just how wrong those texts can go, giving you a laugh in the process.

Bosses are a fact of life, but not all are born equal. If you're lucky enough to be blessed with a good one who builds you up and helps your professional and personal development, you'll probably enjoy your job. But if you're unfortunate enough to have a bad boss, your life can be a daily hell. Bad bosses come in all shapes and sizes, from the incompetent to the weird, to the stupid, to the straight-up jerks. It's really just a matter of luck. 

For these people who ended up with the straight-up jerk type, decided to shame their bosses on the internet. Check out just how awful some bosses can be, proving that it's not about having power itself, but it's about how you use it that really counts.

These people prove that awesome bosses are out there.
