Retail workers could tell you a story or two about their most memorable customers . As a cashier, you may serve hundreds of people each day, so when someone throws a huge fit or is especially impolite, it sticks with you. Whether you're working in a clothing store or a popular spot in the mall or a fast food restaurant, you're bound to get some odd customers. Usually, customers ask the same few questions over and over. But there are exceptions. For example, one person shared that they had a cus…

People love virtue signaling online, it gives them the motivation to continue avoiding the miserable reality of inflation, micromanaging work environments, and slimy coworkers. Where do they love doing it? LinkedIn, the playground for employees who want to look like they care way more than they actually do, although there is the occasional outlier who actually believes what they post online. LinkedIn is the place where CEOs go to blabber about their new car only to post about layoffs a day late…

This dude thought he had bragging rights because he was “training right now to be a supervisor there”

As employees, we're all just tools in the toolbox of our company. For utility purposes, we perform our function at work and then we clock out–it's simple. But as every worker knows, we all have one coworker on the roster who's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

This guy is having a rough day on the job . That'll happen when you continually make irreversible mistakes! At any workplace, there's always that one coworker who barely made it into work that day. They seem like they're always kind of flailing and barely holding it together. But you know what, sometimes these people are really incredible at their jobs. Other times, you wonder how this person ever managed to get a degree and a full career with the skill set they possess. It seems like u/Adventu…

The clock strikes 5, and you zoom out of the office. You don't even look back when your boss yells out sheepishly, ‘Wait, are you leaving?’. Yes, you're leaving! Right this instant, actually. Every day in the office feels like stepping into a weird, alternate dimension. The fluorescent lights flicker ominously as you shuffle past coworkers, half expecting your awkward boss to greet you dressed in royal garments. He is quite the character. Some might compare him to Michael Scott from the Office.…

Quitting a bad job for a good reason is the best feeling in the world. After enduring the trenches in the workplace and slogging through trash tasks and terrible management, sometimes you just need to cut your losses and cut loose. For some employees, however, they don't always have the best reasons to quit their day job.

$2 off margaritas–Here I come!

No one wants to get fired. A lot of times, getting fired is entirely out of our control. Lots of employees have found themselves in this situation recently, with companies doing mass layoffs and inflation continuing to rise. In this one employee's case, their boss changed their workweek from 40 hours to 42.5 hours, causing rage amongst the workforce, while many outside perspectives speculated that this was the employer's way of weeding out employees without having to do mass layoffs. Whatever t…

Back in the day, people with stage fright could conquer their fears by imagining the crowd in a more vulnerable state than themselves. Picturing an audience of strangers in their whitey-tighties is far more embarrassing than stumbling over your words into the mic, right? But nowadays, stage-scared people can no longer use this timeless tactic because we have a new beast to tackle: Zoom calls.

I was fired before, and let me tell you, it is not a good feeling. The knot that forms in your stomach makes you want to bend over a toilet, and you dread the moment your boss invites you into their office for a ‘discussion’. In my case, it happened via a phone call. I was waitressing at a tiny restaurant in my hometown, and granted, I wasn't very good at it. The reason I got fired was because 2 days in I had failed to inform the kitchen that one customer's steak was ‘too well done’. The custom…

There's nothing that will make someone miss you more than your absence, and sometimes, you need to make yourself out of the situation in order for them to fully appreciate you… Especially when that someone is your coworker who has been making you do all their work for them. If you're not around, who's going to do their work? This employee wasn't about to put up with being pushed around for too long, and after putting up with their coworker pushing their workload onto them for the first two mont…

These people couldn't believe what they were hearing when their bosses told them they were fired . That's because these workers were let go for some pretty off-the-wall reasons. The usual reasons people are fired are things like repeated latenesses, complaints from customers, talking back to management, or being put on a PIP (performance improvement plan) without improving. Most companies try to avoid firing people if possible, but sometimes it's avoidable. At least you're not the person who go…

Would you rather work a 10-hour shift or a 4-hour shift? At first, it might seem nice to take the shorter shift but then think of all of the lost time spent getting ready for work, getting there, getting back, and decompressing. By the end of the day, your 4 hours is looking more like 6 and at that point, your entire day is lost. So when we're faced with the choice to lose a full day of our lives to our jobs, wouldn't you rather be paid a little overtime?

Worst April Fool's joke ever!

Watching someone get a taste of their own medicine is a rare occurrence, but when it happens, you have to savor the moment. This is especially true for petty revenge on annoying coworkers. It’s not every day you get to see that person suffer the consequences of their own actions. Most of the time, you just have to smile, nod, and ignore them while you quietly imagine all the ways their behavior might come back to bite them on the behind. However, when your annoying coworker has actively wronged…
