'Manager keeps scheduling meetings at irritating time so I got revenge'
A man was baffled to learn in his new job that staff were expected to stay late for a team meeting, and when he got his wage slip, he learned the overtime was unpaid – so he decided to take action A man grew so sick and tired of his manager scheduling work meetings at 5pm – when everyone was due to clock off – that he made a 'petty' move to stop it from happening again. The 40-hour work week can make it difficult to juggle an ideal work-life balance, with many employees eager to clock out of work bang on time to make the most of their freedom. One man was stunned after joining a small team of 10 and learning on his first day that a team meeting was scheduled, every day, for after work. The staff were to log off their computers at 4.55pm and then go to the meeting room. But they didn't actually clock off work until 5.15pm, despite their official workday ending at 5pm. At first, the man didn't think this was a massive problem as he assumed he'd receive money for the extra time worked in his biweekly wage. This was not the case. On Reddit 's popular Petty Revenge forum, the man explained: 'When my first pay day came, I saw my full 80 hours, but the extra 2.5 hours were nowhere to be found. 'So I asked a couple of the guys if they only got paid 80 hours too. They all confirmed it. We were not getting paid for these meetings.' The man decided to take action. He continued: 'The shift ends and once again the manager called for the daily team meeting and to log off at 4.55pm then head to the meeting room. I do so. 'And so I sit there for five minutes. As soon as it hit 5pm, I get up and say, I need to be somewhere important (with everyone's eyes on me), the manager says, 'OK', I leave the room, clock out and go home.' The man did the same thing the next day and several days after that – and his manager 'never' stopped him. The manager then queried why he had to leave at 5pm but the man simply said it was a 'personal matter'. His manager left it at that. Soon, though, 'it catches on' and the man's colleagues 'start leaving right after [him]'. The man added: 'Eventually, within a matter of days of me starting to leave at 5, everyone else started doing it too. 'The manager started scheduling the meetings for 4.40pm. All it took was one person to not take this s**t anymore.' In the comments section, people shared their thoughts. One person said: 'Isn't it sad when the new employee has to train the manager? High five!' Another shared: 'If it's a work activity of any kind I'm either getting paid to be there or I won't be there. End of story. Or if it's after 5pm. Then I just won't be there. Lol'. Someone else asked: 'Okay but I don't get why managers would ever want to schedule meetings after the work day in the first place? Like do they not also want to go home? 'Do they really get so much schadenfreude from watching their employees suffer that they'd rather waste their own time? Who the fuck wants to stay in the office longer? Why would any manager ever do this? I don't understand.' The original poster replied: 'Personally, I always thought that the idea came from higher up so they could ' save money ' by having these meetings off the clock because the manager never fought against it when no one stayed anymore. Never underestimate corporate greed.' Agreeing, another Redditor added: 'If you've got 8 people staying in their own time for a 15 minute meeting that could have happened during work hours, that's 2 hours you don't have to pay them for – makes your books look good cos it doesn't 'affect productivity'. Absolutely corporate greed at its finest.'

Has Mercy for None been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed Or Cancelled? Mercy for None is the latest Netflix K-drama, boasting compelling characters and a bloody, action-packed storyline. This one has been quite the rollercoaster ride over the season! If you've been following this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more. Here's what we know about a renewal: What is Mercy for None about? 11 years after going into hiding, an ex-gangster called Nam Gi-jun returns to Seoul's criminal underworld to find out the truth about his brother's death — and get some sweet, sweet revenge. His weapon of choice? A baseball bat. We have ongoing coverage of Mercy for None on the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find those HERE! Has Mercy for None been renewed for season 2? At the time of writing, Netflix have not renewed Mercy for None for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Mercy for None has had a good reaction online from critics and audiences alike. Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. Having said that, we do also know that completion rate is a massive metric for these streamers so that could play a pivotal role here. However, it's also rare for these Netflix K-dramas to be renewed – especially when they're labelled as Limited Series like this one is! For now, we'll have to wait and see what happens so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about season 2 right now. Given most Korean dramas are reserved to one season, it's rare to find these renewed. With the rare exception of ongoing Netflix shows (Love ft. Marriage and Divorce, Hospital Playlist etc.) then it seems unlikely that this one will be renewed. Having said that though, we have seen Taxi Driver and Tale of the Nine Tailed renewed recently, alongside Alchemy of Souls too. Given how steady the ratings are for this series, could we see this one buck the trend? It seems very unlikely that Mercy for None will buck the trend. There is always the possibility that the actors return for a follow-up for a sequel or a spin-off featuring the same characters but considering all of this, we believe this will not be renewed. We generally aim to update this page when more information becomes available. Would you like to see Mercy for None return for a second season? Or do you think the story has run its course? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Celebrities Are Using This One Accessory To Make Their Outfits Better Right Now
What do Elsa Hosk, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Dua Lipa have in common? Aside from their super successful careers, of course, they also have the same taste in accessories. Recently, they have all been spotted wearing Déhanche - a brand fashion editors were quietly hoping to keep under wraps for just a little while longer. An alternative to some of the more obvious designer belt styles on the market (like the super-popular logo belts from Gucci and Hermès), Déhanche's success marks a departure from this with a more refined and, well, 2025 take. ©Instagram/@iamjessicafay Hollyhock Embellished Leather Belt Déhanche's best-selling belt, the Hollyhock, is made from smooth leather and has a buckle fastening that is more elevated than your average belt with a row of rings. Available in multiple different colours, as well as metals, the belt is perfect for adding to wide-leg trousers and jeans. I also own the Hollyhock style, and can attest to its excellence - it feels so weighty and is obviously very well-crafted. The only thing I would advise is to size up or use the online size guide - I found the belt comes up a little smaller than usual. Founded in 2022, Déhanche ('hanches' is the French word for hips) has crept into the highest echelon of celebrity wardrobes with the mission to turn belts (an accessory that was once just purely functional) into something far more interesting. Traditionally, belts have always been steeped in drama - whether you think of a grommeted style from the '70s and '80s, or Carrie Bradshaw's studded Streets Ahead belt in Sex And The City . Déhanche taps into the spirit of both, building its brand around conscious consumerism - proving that you don't need to put your entire wardrobe on Vinted when the trends or seasons change - instead, all you need is one well-designed belt. Two of the most popular Déhanche styles are the Hollyhock and the Revenge belt (they also form part of the permanent collection - otherwise the brand only releases four limited-edition drops a year) - the latter of which was seen on Dua Lipa. Meanwhile, the Hollyhock, Déhanche's debut style, is among one of the most popular, not only on the brand's website, but also my Instagram feed too - it popped up so many times that it quickly became not a case of if I'd get the belt, but when . Revenge Embellished Leather Belt Dua Lipa's go-to belt is the Revenge style, which is finished with eyelets that are threaded with rings. The brand says the belt exudes a kind of 'rebellious punk spirit' because of its slightly more avant garde design. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a long-time lover of refined, tonal dressing, has become especially loyal to Déhanche's Valadon belt - a thin, but contoured leather belt that speaks to her less-is-more philosophy. Valadon Leather Belt One of Déhanche's more subtle styles, the Valadon Leather Belt features a chic sliding buckle and a slim profile that means it can be either worn with trousers or in the middle of a maxi dress. Plus, it's on sale too. We're in the middle of a transition when it comes to the way we dress. Quiet luxury has started to waver, making way for a return to playfulness in the form of gingham, polka dots and plenty of boho ruffles – just three trends that have dominated the beginning of this year. Déhanche's success, however, shows that there's still an appetite for chic well-made pieces that will stand the test of time. Constance Leather Belt If you're on the hunt for a Déhanche belt that's smaller and more subtle, the Constance style is a good option. Ideal for cinching the waist of blazers or making a slip dress look less oversized and more fitted. Orbite Leather Waist Belt The Orbite belt is named after its circular statement-making gold buckle that won't overpower an outfit, but will add to it. Best styled around a neutral blazer or satin midi dress, simply add a pair of kitten heels and gold earrings and you're good to go. Meri Leather Waist Belt For a slightly cooler Déhanche belt, look to the Meri Belt, which has gold hammered hardware detailing in the place of a classic buckle. If you prefer your accessories in a lighter colour for summer, the same style is also available in an ivory shade. Jolinard Leather Belt The Jolinard style is another one that's on sale, currently with 40% off. If you like the chunkiness of the Revenge belt but want a belt that's slightly more pared-back, the Jolinard is somewhere in the middle - with thick gold hardware and '80s and '90s influences.

Harry and Meghan's 'drama' with royal staff in lead-up to wedding day
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seemingly got their Happy Ever After, Meghan as an influencer while she and Harry raise their children in California, but drama that reportedly started just before their wedding will always loom large Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to have had their happy ending after some very turbulent years leading up to their decision to step down as senior royals - and then the almighty fallout from Megxit in 2020. They live in a beautiful mansion in Montecito with their children Archie, six and three-year-old Lilibet, who often appear with their faces hidden on their mum's social media as she promotes her Netflix show With Love, Meghan and her lifestyle brand As Ever. However, the couple experienced discord and drama long before they decided to move abroad for a new life. The months leading up to their fairytale wedding back in 2018 were reportedly less than idyllic. Outwardly, their big day on Saturday, May 19, 2018, looked nothing short of perfect family togetherness. Prince Charles walked his future daughter-in-law down the aisle, while Prince William appeared the proud big brother, as Harry's best man. But behind the scenes, royal author Tina Brown said it was a very different story. In her bestselling book 'The Palace Papers', Brown even went so far as to claim that the lead-up to the wedding was a "s*** show" and said sources told her: "Preparation for the Sussex union was all drama, all the time." According to Brown's book, aides said they had become "fed up" with Harry and Meghan's constant demands. Royal writer Tom Bower also claims Meghan was too demanding. This included a "clash" of opinion with Angela Kelly, the late Queen Elizabeth's personal advisor for her wardrobe, over her wedding tiara. Writing in his biography 'Revenge', which was about Harry and Meghan's feud with the Royal Family, Bower said: "Meghan alighted on a tiara sparkling with emeralds. Her choice was approved by Harry. Kelly suggested that its Russian origin made it unsuitable." Harry was reportedly furious, which led the Queen to put her grandson "firmly in his place" and he was warned that "Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she's given by me," The Times reported. With the emerald-encrusted headpiece no longer an option, the former Suits star opted for the £2 million Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau. The small but mighty diamond cluster brooch features ten diamonds and was made for Her Majesty's grandmother, Queen Mary, in 1932. Like many brides-to-be, the duchess was keen to ensure all details were covered and that her hairstyle on the day would work with her headwear. Therefore, she is said to have asked for her tiara to be taken out of storage for her hairdresser from New York to have a look at. The Daily Mail reports that the request was refused as The Queen needed to give her permission. It is not understood whether Meghan was able to go to the Queen to get the permission she needed or not, but it was claimed that Harry's angry response meant that he was brought before his granny for further admonishment, according to Ingrid Seward, author of My Mother. For her book, she spoke to Lady Elizabeth Anson, Queen Elizabeth's cousin and close friend, who said that Her Majesty was not pleased with Harry. However, the biggest and most well-documented drama was that of the flower girl dresses. According to Bower, Kate allegedly believed that the bridesmaids should follow royal tradition and wear tights. However, Meghan reportedly insisted they break with this tradition. Their biggest disagreement was over the length of Charlotte's hem, which Kate believed was too short for the three-year-old princess. Meghan's assistant Melissa Toubati and dress-fitter Clare Waight Keller claimed to have "witnessed Meghan emphatically reject Kate's observation," Bower said. It was widely reported after the wedding that this caused Kate to burst into tears. Meghan was described as a "diva and a bridezilla." The Duchess of Sussex got the chance to put across her side of the story in her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey - claiming they were her tears, not Kate's. "A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining - yes, the issue was correct - about flower-girl dresses, and it made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings," Meghan told Oprah. "What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn't do but that happened to me. "And the people who were part of our wedding going to our comms team and saying, "I know this didn't happen". I don't have to tell them what actually happened," she added. The interview added fuel to the fire, with Meghan also implying that the royals were racist due to questions from a senior family member on how dark the couple's first son, Archie, would be. Oprah was horrified, and Meghan looked deeply hurt. Following the airing of the interview, the revelation led to reporters asking William if his family was racist while on a school visit. The race row was a shocking attack on the monarchy, and it seems that Harry realised this. Two years on in 2023, he spoke to baffled ITV journalist Tom Bradbury to clarify that Meghan never accused his family of racism in an interview. Instead, Harry called it "unconscious bias", but the clarification came too late. The damage was done, and furthermore, his 2023 memoir 'Spare' and its eye-boggling revelations - including William launching a physical attack on Harry and how Kate took umbrage to Meghan joking she had baby brain due to being pregnant with her youngest Louis - do not suggest a heartwarming reconciliation is on the cards anytime soon.
