Furious Wife Gets Her Husband Fired As She Is Fed Up Working Two Jobs While He Misses His To Play Video Games

My husband (33) has a habit of making up excuses to get out of work. Simply for just not feeling like working on certain days. This has affected us financially because his boss kept lowering his salary as a result. I had to get a 2nd job. He's now bought a ps5 from his 14yo cousin and started playing with it day and night. Meanwhile missing work and lying to his boss about why he does it. This...

Cat Owner Got Upset When A Colleague Said Her "Fur Babies" Are Not Really Kids And That's Why Moms Don't Invite Her To Their Events

Basically I [20M] recently started a job where I have mostly female coworkers. Amongst them is a small group who all have young kids around the same age. They go to mum-and-kid activities together, babysit each other's kids, have coffee mornings, hang out at the weekends etc. There is one coworker who has complained to her a few times that she feels deliberately left out by this group. She ref...

AITA for refusing free dental work to my financially struggling family members?

I'm an orthodontist, 35, married to a wonderful woman, 33. Her family's always been great, but I recently had to set a boundary. My brother-in-law asked me to do free orthodontic work for his kids. I told him I couldn't, that I don't do free treatments, even for family. He got upset, saying I'm selfish and greedy because I'm successful. He made snide comments about doctors making a lot of m...

AITA for not letting my coworker “borrow” my lunch after she forgot hers?

I (26F) work in a small office, and we all usually eat lunch together in the break room. I make an effort to bring homemade lunches to save money, and I often meal prep for the week. Yesterday, my coworker "Emily" (30F) forgot to bring her lunch. She asked if she could “borrow” mine, saying she’d pay me back later or bring me food tomorrow. I told her no, politely but firmly, because (1) I ...

AITA for ruining my work colleagues wedding and getting them arrested?

I (38f) had 2 work colleagues, Mary and Adam (both in their late 20s-early 30s). Mary started in the company first and then she got Adam to join, they worked in different departments and Mary was in mine. Later, Mary left the company to pursue another carrier. When they started at the company, they were already married for a few years. Now Mary is the kindest and loveliest person I've ever ...

Furious Mom Triggers Dismissal Of Office Staff After He Asked Her Sobbing Toddler To "Shut Up!"

I’m the 1/3 owner of a company with 2 friends from college. Mike and Eric. I run the Technology side of things, so I’m not the “face” of the company, so I rarely go into the office. I have a 4-year-old daughter whose father is Mike. (We have never been in a relationship and chose to co-parent our daughter) Mike got into a car wreck and required surgery. Eric was out of town. My nanny is o...

AITA for demanding my coworker pay me for a ride to work after many months of giving her a free ride?

For the last fourteen months, I have been driving one of my coworkers to and from work. She only lives a mile up the road from me and is on the way, so I've never asked her for a dime or accepted when she's offered me money. From my perspective, I'm going there either way, and her overall household expenses are higher than my own, so it felt like the thing to do. Over the weekend, my car we...

AITA for treating my coworker differently after she accused me of making her uncomfortable when I covered for her at work?

I (30M) work in an office with a small team. A few months ago, my coworker Samantha (28F) had an emergency and had to leave work early. She was supposed to finish a report that was due the next morning, so she asked if I could help cover for her. I had some extra time, so I finished up her report and sent it in under both of our names to make sure she got credit. The next day, she thanked m...

AITAH for taking a job that’s twice the amount I’ve ever made and would solve my financial problems

Got offered a job for $60k+ a year. Only problem is I’d have to work weekends. My gf works M-F and has weekends off. Her one requirement is that I also don’t work weekends. It has made my job search significantly more difficult and I said screw it and went to an interview anyways. They offered me the job and I want to take it but now she is freaking out. I’ve been in a financial hole for ye...

AITA for not bringing homemade treats to the office Christmas party? And telling of co-workers who expected me to?

I am 22 and I'm one of very few women in my office at work. It's me, one other engineer, and two lad*es in HR and administration. There are about 50 older male coworkers with families. We had a potluck style party, and I was a*signed dessert. I bought cupcakes from Aldi the night before. When I brought them in, five male coworkers criticized me for not bringing som**hing homemade. I knew man...

I Took a 5k Bonus From My Stingy Boss Right Before Quitting and He Called Me Immoral

I worked for a company as an engineer. I originally told the owner that I expect $35 an hour, which was the average for my position at the time. I agreed to $24/hr to then work my way up as I prove myself (yes that was naive). After 2 years, they have b*mped my pay to $26/hr. I brought up my expected pay from way back when, but I was told to keep working for it. Another company sent me a job o...

AITA for Expecting My Husband to Do “My Job” While I’m on Maternity Leave?

I feel like I’m drowning, but maybe I’m the one at fault for expecting too much. I’m 27F and a first-time mom to a 7-week-old baby girl Daisy. She’s beautiful, but she cries all the time. The doctors call it colic, but it feels like I must be doing som**hing wrong. Isn’t a mother supposed to be able to comfort her child? I can’t even manage that. The past few weeks have been a blur of pain,...
