AITA for Reporting This?

In this episode of AITA@Work, we're diving into HR complaints, workplace investigations, toxic coworkers, boundary violations, and the moments employees are forced to decide whether it's finally time to report someone. From fake pregnancies and relentless harassment to bosses who won't respect vacation time, coworkers who weaponize HR, and employees who refuse to stop crossing personal boundaries, these stories explore what happens when staying quiet is no longer an option. We also get into the bigger questions: Are people too quick to involve HR? When should you try to resolve things yourself? And when is reporting someone the only responsible choice? Some of these stories are shocking. Some are frustrating. And a few will have you wondering how these people weren't reported sooner. Let's get into it. 🎙 Hosted by Bailey Levesque - Career Coach & Business Consultant 🩷 New episodes weekly. From the AITA@Work Podcast.

Coworkers from Hell

In this episode of AITA@Work, we're diving into toxic coworkers, workplace bullies, false accusations, impossible personalities, and the people who somehow make every workday harder than it needs to be. From body-shaming coworkers and fake service dog investigations to ridiculous HR complaints, impossible accommodations, and coworkers who mistake cruelty for confidence, these stories explore what happens when you're forced to work alongside people who thrive on creating chaos. We also get into the bigger questions: When should you stand up for yourself? When should HR get involved? And how much bad behavior should you tolerate before walking away? Some of these stories are ridiculous. Some are infuriating. And a few will make you incredibly grateful for your own coworkers.

Emotional Affairs at the Office

In this episode of AITA@Work, we're diving into emotional affairs, workplace crushes, suspicious coworker friendships, deleted messages, blurred boundaries, and the damage that happens when professional relationships become a little too personal. From married coworkers texting late at night to spouses discovering hidden conversations, workplace "friendships" that don't quite feel innocent, and employees becoming emotionally invested in someone who isn't their partner, these stories explore the gray area between friendship and betrayal. We also get into the bigger questions: Can emotional cheating be just as damaging as physical cheating? When do workplace friendships cross the line? And should you trust your gut when something feels off? Some of these stories are uncomfortable. Some are heartbreaking. And a few will have you checking your partner's coworker list.

That Girl Stole My Work

In this episode of AITA@Work, we’re diving into one of the most frustrating workplace dynamics: when someone else takes credit for your work. From coworkers quietly stealing ideas to full-on career sabotage, these stories explore what happens when recognition, promotions, and opportunities are built on someone else’s effort. We unpack the emotional toll of being overlooked, the risks of speaking up, and the moments where silence costs more than confrontation. We also get into the bigger questions: When should you call someone out? When is it smarter to stay quiet? And how do you protect your work in environments where credit isn’t always given fairly? If you’ve ever felt invisible, undervalued, or completely blindsided at work—this episode is going to hit close to home.
