Many of us wake up hoping the day ahead will be a bad one. But a study has found the average time most of know when it'll be a bad day!

Contrary to what you read in too many LinkedIn posts, don't blame managers for every workplace problem you might encounter.

I recently celebrated my 10th anniversary in my current role at the real job. Someone congratulated me, noting that I run 'a tight ship.'

If someone were to ask you right now what you considered to be your dream job, would you be able to give a clear picture of what it might be?

Have you ever heard of 'career cushioning'? It seems to be the latest in a trend of goofy names for silly concepts in the workplace.

A recent social media post criticized managers who commit something called 'performance punishment' for penalizing the wrong workers.

Workers are continuing to fight for a national $15 minimum wage, but a new book suggests even that won't be enough. What will?

Are all bosses terrible? If you spend a little time on LinkedIn these days, a crop of 'anti-manager' posts might convince you they are.

A relatively new concept dubbed 'quiet quitting' is gaining popularity among workers. But it's not really about employees leaving their job.

It's no secret that burnout is a growing problem. Experts can't seem to agree on how many stages of burnout there actually are.

A California school district recently decided it would eliminate the term 'chief' from its district job titles over concerns about the word.

We see more disturbing patterns when it comes to the workforce since the Great Resignation. One new issue is the salary requirement.

Reports suggest a growing number of businesses are abandoning the traditional Monday-through-Friday schedule for a four-day workweek.

We hear more and more these days about 'burnout' and workers who claim they're at that point. It's easy — too easy — to dismiss those claims.
