We've all been given radio silence from recruiters before, but this is a new level of savage ghosting from a potential employer. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/DentistThink4578 , who opened up about a horrible Zoom interview experience he had recently. The original poster has serious back problems that make sitting in an office chair hard to do (hence, the need to work remotely). During the interview, he set up his laptop on a lap desk and used a neutral background…

Nothing can be more difficult for a child than losing a parent. Even if it's a complicated family relationship , that kind of loss is heavily felt, especially when experiencing it as a kid. Recently, a Redditor shared the story of her complicated family life and when she lost her mother. On the subreddit thread r/EntitledPeople , she shares the heartbreaking story of her mothers vulture “friends.” He mother was very sick and when she passed, she reported it and everyone in the neighborhood watc…

Get ready for the oldest trick in the retail handbook: First, insist workers close and lock the doors precisely at closing—not a moment sooner, so that you don't miss any sales. Next, schedule workers' shifts to end precisely at closing time and make it as hard as possible for the workers to claim the inevitable overtime they accrue while trying to complete basic closing tasks that need to be completed after the doors are locked. If they try to claim five or ten minutes daily, just tell them th…

There's a buyer for every seller , but these odd items might be the exception. It's great to sell things online as a way to make space in your home, or get rid of random junk you don't want anymore. Some of the things people put up for sale , though, are just incredibly bizarre, like the person selling a humongous hot dog couch. What's the story there? And did anyone end up buying it? As for the person selling an entire planet, well, good luck with that one. Check out these hilarious Craigslist…

Kids love Pokemon. The idea of training a powerful imaginary creature that equal parts lethal as they are adorable is intoxicating. As we grow up, the nostalgic element of the Poke-franchise evolves into a monetized machine. One Pokemon lover and volunteer childcare worker recently discovered exactly how tainted Pokemon trade can become when folks lose sight of the original pleasures of the game (ie: when Karens get involved).

Just a tip for the next time you're in a job interview: Don't tell the interviewer that you're more qualified for their job than they are. That's… just not going to end well for you or your prospects. This three-part story has taken place over the course of just as many years, with the original poster returning this week to provide a wholesome update and conclusion to their tale of the most insolent job candidate they ever interviewed. The tale starts with the candidate “Annabelle” coming in fo…

You know it's not a good sign when you have to pay for your own job training.

The best gift in return would be your resignation!

Customer service has perhaps never been more wild, and customers are getting creative with how rude they are to employees - who are trying their best to keep their patience.

Think of your worst teacher ever, and imagine the satisfaction of getting them fired. Well, this kid lived out everyone's dream, as he shared in a popular post that garnered plenty of praise for him and condemnation for his teacher. He basically had a teacher who would constantly put him down, including with some horrific insults that are just straight-up bullying. So he decided to get back at her using her own words, and it turned into an absolute s***show for the teacher , Ms. Frank. Check ou…

From big bold fonts to screaming neon colors, these signs stand out in a number of ways. Some of which include ridiculous mottos, slogans, or plain ol' warnings that frankly, don't make any sense (Or do they?). I've come to wonder who double-checks these things before they're produced for the masses. I mean, there must be someone whose sole purpose is to check these things, right? Sounds like a boring job, so I wouldn't be surprised if they scribbled their signature on the checking document (or…

Claiming overtime gives us brief jolts of joy when receiving our monthly paycheck, but the reason for said overtime is that we're seriously understaffed, so although we can hear the cha-ching of dollar bills entering our sad accounts, our sanity has slowly declined. Employees have been complaining about this lack of manpower for longer than they care to remember, and although bosses around the globe have continuously assured everyone that there will be new hires, it's simply not happening.

Let's be real… We've all had that one coworker who is always coming in late and leaving early to pick up their kids. No big deal, right? Everyone deserves to have a flexible working arrangement. But, when that flexibility and those considerations aren't offered to other workers, and it places more work or undesirable shifts on those workers' shoulders, it becomes a problem. Reddit especially champions the idea that those with kids shouldn't expect special treatment over their coworkers who are…

We all have that one colleague who's a total show off. They like to claim that they were heading up a project , when actually they barely did any work on it. Or they try to schmooze with clients and C-suite employees, only to come off as arrogant and irritating. People like this exist everywhere, but not everyone is quite as confident in their abilities as this crazy Kevin ! At least this guy didn't get away unscathed. The OP, u/UnlikelyAlternative, writes that after Kevin's big goof with some…

Spring is upon us, which means more fun and enjoyable outdoor activities. However, what comes with more time outdoors? Well, that would be more opportunities to run into some Karens in the wild.

Every job requires you to have coworkers, whether you want to or not. These people encountered some coworkers who made extra dumb mistakes — and some are more dangerous than others. The r/AskReddit community answered the question, “What's the dumbest mistake you've seen an incompetent coworker make?” And I am shocked at some of the answers. People wrote in from all walks of life, from lawyers to pet shop workers to designers. Everyone makes mistakes, but some people don't handle that well. It s…
