Green isn't a good look...

As women, we want to prove to the rest of the world that we are just as capable as men and can be just as successful, especially when it comes to our careers. We constantly need to fight to show our worth, and I am sorry, but stories like this one prove that in some ways, we can never be truly equal to men. It is no secret that motherhood and successful careers sometimes do not go hand in hand. Even starting with the very first step of motherhood–the pregnancy. Being pregnant, then later having…

As much as we all like to think that the corporate world is getting better at providing equal opportunities to men and women, women are still far from being treated the same way as men in the workplace. As women, we can all name at least once when the mere fact that we are women got in the way of our journey at work. It is enough of a struggle to be a woman in any work environment, so we can't imagine what it is like being a woman in a male-dominant work environment. Still, this story supplies…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The workplace is our second home. It doesn’t matter if we work in an office, lab, restaurant, or somewhere else, we spend such a large percentage of our time there that it’s impossible for work dynamics not to affect us. I always say that your coworkers make or break the job, not the work itself. But let’s talk about the Reddit thread. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who works in a male-dominated field. As a woman who’s work…

Thanksgiving is hands down a ubiquitous holiday favorite. I think we can admit how much we love the warmth of the fireplace, decorative leaves everywhere, and the myriad of smells emitting from the kitchen. Your mother has been cooking up a storm since 5 am, turkey basting in the oven, potatoes boiling on the stove, pecan and pumpkin pies set aside for dessert. It’s a magical holiday of sensory wonders, and you get to see the whole family too. Not having the privilege to be with your family for…

"I just wish he would leave me alone and never ask me for anything again."

She could have just watched it after work!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. No job will ever be perfect. If it’s not the pay, it’s the commute. If it’s not the commute, it’s the job itself. And if it’s not the job itself, then it’s your coworkers. People spend one third of their life at work, so everyone wants it to be under pleasant circumstances. In my opinion, you can hate your job, but if you hate the people then you’re doomed. The people you work with make or break the work environment. It could be your dream job,…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Hostility between coworkers can affect one’s quality of life to such an extent that they don’t even want to go to the office anymore. And unfortunately, every workplace has that one ‘Karen’ type . The one who’s in everybody’s business , the one who causes the HR fumbles, and the one who everyone hates. If you have a Karen in your office, it’s time to be on the lookout. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s accidentall…

If she quits, they lose $20K of their annual joint income and she loses her independence.

Typically, in a romantic relationship, you envision a future together. You envision living together, getting engaged, married, and possibly starting a family. You envision the two of you overcoming every challenge life presents. The story below is of a devastated girlfriend. The original poster (OP) and her partner have been together for a long time. They envisioned themselves living together in an apartment, taking incredible vacations, and just enjoying life. But all of that was put on pause…

Childcare is a tremendous responsibility because it is your job for a defined amount of time to ensure that the children you are caring for are safe and sound. However, the benefit of babysitting is that when the parents return home at the appointed time, you are compensated and free to go about the rest of the day. How would you handle it if the parents of the children you were caring for never returned home? The story below is an account of a confused babysitter. The original poster (OP) has…

"I felt like I was 17 again, like all the progress I made just vanished."

This is why you shouldn't do things you aren't paid to do.

His coworkers greeted her as his sister...

How long was he planning to keep up this lie?
