Getting my coworker fired after she tried to sabotage me — even though she has three kids?

Getting my coworker fired after she tried to sabotage me — even though she has three kids?

I (29F) work in a fast-paced marketing agency. I’ve been there for about four years, recently promoted to a project lead position. I’m not the kind of person to brag, but I work hard, stay late, and honestly deserve the role I got. Not everyone agreed, apparently. There’s a coworker, “Rachel” (33F), who I used to be friendly with. She was also gunning for the promotion and didn’t get it. Af

AITA for telling my husband to stop drooling over his bosses wife?

I won't sit here and pretend that I was nice about it because I wasn't. I was very snappy and made my distaste known. His bosses wife and I are both heavily pregnant. I'm 32 weeks and she is 28 weeks. He just started working for this company about a month ago and has already developed an incredibly strong friendship with his boss so we get invited over there often. I've only personally gone tw

AITAH for refusing to take my boss’s dog home every night even though “it’s just a temporary arrangement”

So I (29F) work as an admin assistant at a small company, and my boss, who we will call Greg (40M), is the type of guy who thinks “running things like a family” means he can do whatever he wants. A few months ago, Greg adopted a golden retriever named Buddy. Buddy is great. Greg is not. Instead of, you know, adjusting his own life to accommodate his dog, he just started bringing Buddy to the of

WIBTA: Taking my coffee maker with me when I leave my current job

I'm getting ready to wrap up my 5-year PhD in STEM, and I'm moving on to bigger and better things in the world of medical research. Something you need to know about STEM folks is that we tend to be caffeine addicts. Coffee, tea, energy drinks, the works. However, for about the first 3 years of my program, I was the only coffee drinker on my team. Everyone else drank tea or soda. I'm a coffee a

AITAH for not covering for my coworker with a sick kid, resulting in her being fired

I am a 25-year-old female hospice nurse working for a home hospice company. All nurses are salaried and set their own hours, which is a desirable arrangement, especially for parents. We are required to take turns being on call overnight, roughly every two weeks. All of my coworkers have children, except for me. In three years, I have asked them for virtually nothing and have never called ou

AITA for refusing to buy a coworker lunch

I (23M) have a coworker (25M) who is a mooch. If you get something for lunch, he wants you to get him something too, but expects you to buy it for him because since you mentioned it, he says you offered. At first I thought maybe he had money problem, but then overheard him laughing and bragging to someone in another department about how he was able to scam lunches out of his coworkers, and he’

AITA for telling the teacher to stop making comments on my wheelchair?

I'm 18f, have a pretty messed up pair of legs, have had since birth, I can walk but am an ambulatory wheelchair user. I'm currently due an upgrade for my chair, I've had it close to 7 years and it's a bit messed up. It's gotten pretty uncomfortable and it makes noise but like I said, I've had it 7 years and I've grown rather attatched to it. We're saving to pay for the new one at the moment.

AITA for blowing up at my husband after he showed up to my workplace to trade the gift I gave him with the one I gave my boss?.

So in every holiday celebration (Christmas in this case) I make a list of the people I'm buying gifts for and what type of gifts I'm buying. I struggled with mistreatment in my previous job but got fortunate enough to now be working in a very friendly envirnment with amazing co workers and an amazing boss. My boss has stood by my side in many many instances and I decided to include him in my g

AITA For getting a lock for my office door after what my husband did?

I F33 am an art teacher working at a middle school. I love my job because I grew up as an artist. I loved drawing and making art work growing up. I'm blessed I get to do what I love, share my knowledge and experience with others and get paid for it! I recently started teaching a new class. It's been great so far the class is always excited to learn and participate in different activities while

AITA for quitting a job on the spot when they gave me a bad evaluation after only working 15 hours?

I was talking about this with my sister the other day and she thinks it was a bit of an asshole/drama move on my part. When I was 23, I started working at a clothing store in the mall for some extra money. I was there for about a week, though I only worked some short training shifts. I worked a total of 15 hours. The managers pulled me aside and said they gave me an evaluation. It would hav

AITA for telling my coworker that nobody would care if he died?

I work in an office about 100, and a team of about 30. I have a coworker, "Mark", who is about 55ish. I don't think he's a very nice person. He is always making snide comments about other coworkers, hates poor people and thinks that if you're poor it is purely because you're an idiot, makes derogatory jokes about women and anyone non-white. Lots of people try to keep their distance, and it see

AITAH for telling my coworker to stop commenting on my food?

I (26F) work in an office with a small team, and we all eat lunch in the break room. One of my coworkers, Matt (30M), has this habit of commenting on what everyone is eating. At first, it seemed harmless—just little remarks like “Oh, going healthy today?” or “Wow, that looks heavy.” Lately, though, it’s been getting on my nerves because he does it every single day. No matter what I bring, he ha
