'It's still funny to me': Crafty 10-year-old son sticks up for his father beefing with male-Karen neighbor and gets away with it

As a parent you want to teach your children to turn the other cheek; to not give into petty squabbles because you want them to be above that kind of negativity. All a grudge does it make you feel worse and does nothing to your “enemy.” However, that is easier said than done. We are all humans who feel real human emotions, and some of those emotions are frustration and anger. If someone is being a complete jerk to you, it's very hard to just “ignore” them. The desire to feel justice is very very…

'Interviewer can't handle the truth': Dude gets denied employment after being brutally honest in an interview

When you've been stuck in the interview process for too long, it starts to get exhausting. Slapping a new smile on everyday, answering the same 3 questions, and thinking of how to spin your greatest weaknesses into positive, work-related gibberish feels futile. Sorry Patricia, my greatest weakness is not my overly strong work ethic… my weakness is an entire box of Little Debbie Shortcake Rolls.

'[I] got my entire Chain of Command fired': Bosses tell employee to check the same inventory over and over, employee anonymously reports their bosses

'[I] got my entire Chain of Command fired': Bosses demand employee check the same inventory over and over, employee anonymously reports their bosses

Doing the same exact task over and over again is not how most employees want to spend their days. Sure, most jobs involve some form of repetition. But this person's boss kept insisting they do the same exact inventory count over and over indefinitely, so it's no wonder this employee got so fed up. This person ended up filling out an anonymous survey where they spilled the beans, and as folks in the comments helpfully noted, please remember that no survey from your workplace is every really anon…

‘Everyone left the company on my first day’: New hire gets left in charge of IT systems after everyone quits

When getting hired by a company, the last thing you'd imagine to happen would be everyone leaving on your first day. But that's what happened to u/mTbzz, who was hired as a sysadmin. This company was using some pretty obscure software from IBM, so OP was walked through it. He even met the other 2 senior sysadmins and they had a good talk about experiences and the job. The next day OP found out that all three of these people would no longer be working at the company, and he was left with systems…

'It was tense when she walked in': Rude Karen pretends to be friends with the District Manager, gets put in her place when he shows up

Work in any customer-facing role, and at some point, you're bound to encounter someone demanding special treatment because they're friends with the owners or some upper manager. Nine times out of ten, these people are absolutely full of it, and mentioning their name to the owner or manager at a later date will be met with an eye roll, facepalm, or “Who?” No, this person isn't their friend; in some cases, they might be a mutual acquaintance, but what kind of friend would go into their friend's b…

'I told them [that] "This is going to end poorly"': IT worker has hands tied in client-related emergency since company started enforcing 'strict' overtime policy

Work in IT is ever-evolving. Once you become an expert in one aspect of your job, it updates, and everything changes. But IT workers know this and choose this—they got in the game for this exact reason. It keeps them on their toes and keeps their creative problem-solving fresh and new every time. With the way society is unfolding, it appears we are always going to need IT workers. So why is it that toxic managers are still going to toxic manage ? Why can't they evolve like the work they manage?…

'How do you go a year without these files?': Compliance officer gets laid off, contacted a year later asking for help recovering vital compliance files

If you were to be laid off from your job, only to be contacted a year later asking for vital information that it was your job to keep safe, that's pretty much your employer admitting how much they actually needed you in the first place. All we're saying is, make sure to take that into account when you set your new terms, and if they're bringing you back on a temporarily contracted basis, be sure to charge accordingly. Of course, it's more likely that, if things ended badly enough, you'd prefer…

'The door closed and locked behind me': Delivery driver refuses to hold elevator for guy, guy locks them out of their office

It's always frustrating when someone refuses to uphold the most basic common courtesies. We're all in this together—well, at least we should be—so showing basic courtesy is the very least that you can do, even to a complete stranger. It's small acts of kindness like this and reciprocity that make society tick; should you refuse to participate, you might find the karmic pendulum swinging right back at you.
