People taking the most twisted road ever to find out about something will forever fascinate me. This sounds like a spy story from a TV series, and I really hope he finds Spanish interesting for reasons other than understanding when his coworkers speak in private, because all that effort being wasted on it is ludicrous.

Spiteful employee spent two years learning spanish to hear what his coworkers were saying about him during lunch and was confused when he found out what it was: 'I wanted to crawl under my desk and evaporate.They weren't mocking me'

He wonders whether or not he should have stepped into the situation at all.

Son defends father of being kicked out by digging into coordinator's records and finding shady information: 'My dad says I did the right thing but part of me wonders if I shouldve just let him handle it his own way instead of getting involved like that'

Man spent two years secretly learning Spanish to catch his coworkers talking about him, only to discover they were just worried about his sad lunch and wanted to be his friend

It’s funny how managers sometimes become these angry beasts that nobody can satisfy. The position itself might demand that of somebody. Some handle it better than others, of course, and in my opinion, the job only brings good and bad personality traits you ALREADY HAD into the light. So if you become an irrational monster, you were already one to begin with.

Angry manager states that server is expected to always arrive 30 minutes before scheduled work time and that is not considered extra-hours: '2 families needs to be sat down and I as the main server wasn’t here ”on time“ to attend them'

Employee loses their promotion after missing training for the new role, all because they were forced to cover for coworkers who called out: 'I am livid'

It’s funny to think that anyone around you could be living a double life without you knowing. It’s funny and somewhat paranoid. This fake remote worker is directly harming no one by keeping his lie alive; the only ones being harmed seem to be him, his dirty conscience, and his savings.

Man pretends to have a remote job for two years while he has actually been unemployed: 'I’ve somehow maintained this entire fake identity of being a “busy remote worker.” I schedule fake meetings on my calendar so i have an out for certain family events.'

out of work job market red flags job interview Workplace - 45874437

Out of work employee has an interview for a position in his dream job, but encounters several red flags in the interviewing team and feels really bad about the whole thing: 'The interview went a bit weird'.

For some time now, I’ve realized that some things aren’t solved through talking. I know this is a rather controversial stance in times where everywhere we look, we are bombarded with the message that we should ‘talk things through’, that we should ‘go to therapy’, and that will be the solution to all our problems.
