AITA for getting mad at my husband for not wanting to go to work or help around the house while I do everything?

So, I (F, 32) work full time as a marketing manager. My husband (M, 34) has been out of work for a while now, and we’re really struggling financially. My salary just about covers the bills, but there’s not much left for anything else. It’s honestly been super stressful, and I feel like I’m drowning sometimes. At first, my husband said he was "looking for a job," but lately, it’s become clear he...

Manager Tells Worker To Clock Out If She Couldn't Work Due To Her Self-Diagnosed Anxiety, Asks If They're Wrong

I manage and co-own a company that makes soaps, lotions, etc. We only sell locally and online so we work out of a pretty small warehouse with a store front. I only have 9 employees. Since we work in a small warehouse, much of the cleaning duty falls on them. Nobody minds it. The only complaint that I get is that about eco friendly products. We rotate ch**es so nobody gets stuck doing what th...

AITA For driving my daughter away from a teaching career?

My wife is an anesthesiologist, and I am an interventional cardiologist. As a result, my all three of my children (25F, 21F, 17F) grew up extremely privileged. Being born when we were both es**blished already, they have never seen what life is like under a family income of 800,000 dollars. My eldest two children are both planning on following in our footsteps and are planning on pursuing medic...

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 cla*s. It's been great so far the cla*s 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 a*shole/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 d*ed?

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 i**ot, 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...

AITA for showing up to a job interview with purple hair that I've had since I was 20?

I'm 34 years old and have had some flavor of purple hair since I was 20. The closest approximate color I can give to you is if you search "black cherry hair" and imagine it a little more purple. At 34, I'm not exactly new to the job force. One of my biggest stipulations for a job is that I fit in as I am, and that I don't work for a company that's so uppity my hair would be an issue. I've n...

AITAH for kicking out my SIL because of her insinuations about my career?

I (30F) work for an IT company in technical sales. I have a hybrid job, so I work from home a few days and have to be at the corporate office or client locations on other days. Every day I dress well - business casual outfits (my style is bold colors and very feminine) and makeup. When I am working from home I am frequently on video calls, so I put some good lighting gear and camera on tripod ...

AITA for bringing my degree into work to prove I graduated?

I (32M) work in an office where everyone has at least a bachelor’s degree. Most of my coworkers have their degrees framed on the walls of their offices, and some also have pictures of them at their graduations; I think I’m the only one that doesn’t. I’d rather decorate my walls with pictures of my wife and me on trips we’ve taken. I also didn’t even attend my college graduation, so I don’t hav...

AITA for turning off the tumbler dryer and making my housemate go to work with wet clothes?

I 21F am in a bit of an argument with my housemate right now and I'm wondering if I'm justified here. For context, I have a chronic illness which causes chronic fatigue. If I don't get enough sleep I feel very unwell, and it makes my pain and other symptoms much worse as well as just being horribly tired all day. I try not to use earplugs as for reasons I won't get into they cause my ears to g...
