'Anyone can do it, but...': Job candidate boldly calls out CEO's unrealistic expectations for role

Interviewing for a new job can be tough, especially when the employer has unreasonable expectations about the job they're hiring for. Common examples of this will be wildly unmatched desired levels of experience versus compensation on offer or an advertised position that has just too many duties for one person to reasonably attend to. This usually means that the job is a non-starter and not worth pursuing. The employer is constantly going to be disappointed by the tasks that aren't being comple…

There's no manual on how to deal with inconsiderate neighbors — especially when it's their kids who are causing the problem! “Kids will be kids,” as the saying goes. But where are the parents responsible for said children?

'She's the biggest cliché': Woman wants phone refunded, but refuses to cooperate with staff

When this woman's phone memory filled up, she knew exactly where to go — back to the store she bought her phone from. Customers are usually convinced that they're correct, and that they know exactly what they're doing. So then the employee, who does this all day every day, is at the mercy of the customer, who is utterly unflappable. It's not fair to these retail workers , and of course, this happens in every industry. This employee shared their story to r/talesfromretail about a woman who showe…

'We've decided we can't meet your expectations': Dealership deals with an entitled customer

Dealing with a demanding customer can be a nightmare—ask anyone in customer service. It's not as straightforward as you might think either—the more you bend and break for them, giving in to their demands, the more they will ask for in return. It's like a lion attacking a herd of wildebeest; the hunter can sense the weakness, and showing any will make you a greater target. Plus, if you actually manage to close a sale with these people, there is an infinitely greater chance that they will become…

HOA towed my stepdad's car again. And instead of trying to help us figure out what is going on, the board member in charge of parking ignored me and then gave me passive aggressive responses.

'Sweet sweet revenge': HOA unjustly tows stepdad's car, faces threat of endless parking applications

Idiots have the uncanny ability to work themselves into petty positions of power, which they then rule over with an iron fist, completely ignorant of the fact that absolutely no one takes them seriously or even wanted that position in the first place. One could attribute this undeniably overly prevalent idiot phenomenon to possibly be due to the individual's complete and utter lack of self-awareness. For, one needs to be aware of one’s own actions and place in the world before one can begin to…

Yeah, no. | Worker quits after boss lies and says they didn't approve their leave

'Also, I quit': Boss pretends they didn't approve worker's leave and demands they come in, worker quits in viral post

The leave approval process exists for one reason and one reason only: To ensure that workers have a proper guarantee and assurance that they will be able to be absent on the submitted dates before spending money and making social commitments. It's a rather simple process, black and white, really; can the employee take leave or not? Yes or no? Well, this manager decided to introduce a whopping massive grey area into the middle of “Yes” or “No” by first saying yes, forgetting they had approved th…

'Let me cut those hours for you': Manager cuts scheduled labor hours as asked by quitting

This manager found their workload increased dramatically when their co-manager was fired for a ridiculous reason. They then had to operate the entire store alone, which was rife with unique issues. The boss continued to be pettier and pettier. When they finally hired a replacement co-manager, they expected the manager to "cut their hours" immediately, which led to the titular confrontation.

'I stopped making him lunches after that': Woman explains why her ex-husband lost his access to homemade lunches

We can totally see why this woman broke up with her ungrateful ex . I have a love/hate relationship with cooking, as I imagine many people do. It can be fun to whip up a hearty meal if you have time and energy to do so, and it's even better if you have friends or family to serve it to. Other times, the daily drudgery of making meals creeps in, and makes you want to turn to takeout food instead. But the caveat there is that takeout adds up fast — it can cost $20 a day or more, which is why the c…
