Imagine doing such a poor job on your first day of work that the company asks you not to return for day two! Just imagine how hard you'd have to try to mess up in order for that to happen. Well, roughly 12,400 people didn't have to imagine, because they knew of someone who was so wrong for the gig that they were fired on day one. There's a lot of debate about whether or not you should lie on your resume. Apparently lots of people do, and they just hope they won't get caught by HR or their boss.…

“The loud ninja makes noise so people aren't scared. When told to be quiet, he ends up scaring them instead.”

Every person struggles with self-fulfillment when it comes to their jobs. We all want to feel fulfilled with our jobs, we all want to have a purpose in life, and to feel like we truly enjoy what we do on a daily basis. But more often than not, it is impossible to both feel fulfilled and get to have sufficient time off of work, when you enjoy your own privacy. So if you were given the choice to get paid for your job, but do no work whatsoever, would you accept? Would you be willing to give up on…

When you start working at a new company, your first interaction with the head boss in charge is likely to leave a lasting impression. Whether or not that impressing is a good or bad one is likely up to how self-aware your new boss is. Here , we have a CEO who took his new hire out to lunch not long after he started in the new position. In theory, this is the sign of a kind and attentive CEO who wants to form an individualized relationship with the folks working under him. Unfortunately, that as…

Enjoy having saloon doors, lady

“The documentation needed his specific knowledge and a set of reports that were saved on his company-issued laptop, which had been returned and promptly wiped after his departure.”

Managers can get themselves twisted up over any number of petty situations. Again and again, they prove that their fragile egos are the most important thing to them. Sometimes, in fact, all too often in life, you'll come across people who like to place themselves above you in some way. It doesn't really matter how or when, or why; as long as they feel that they are superior to you in some way, they'll remain satisfied. However, should yu prove to them in some way that this isn't the case you'll…

Good luck to this guy who's trying to buy a bike . He's clearly not ready to purchase one, as u/BreWanKenobi explained in her malicious compliance story ! Biking is the best: it's a fun, fast, and efficient way to get around. Instead of getting into your car, you can get to your destination while feeling the wind in your hair. Plus, it's much faster than walking, which also just takes longer. It's one of the most universally beloved activities in the world, and basically every country has bikes…

Everyone has had an unfortunate first date experience where you realize midway through the date that this is not going to work. This discovery is unique to each person's personal list of red flags. That being said, what people do not discuss enough in these scenarios is what do you do for the rest of the evening after you've discovered that under no circumstances will there be another date. Do you try your best to end things then and there? Do you smile your way through the rest of the evening…

Every now and then, bosses will ask their employees to do something that gives them pause. Something so strange or out of their ordinary purview that the employee has to consider if they should just walk out of the room and pretend the conversation never happened. Up next, these hotel gaffes left customers steaming mad, like one person who discovered a note of horrors that said, “If you're reading this note, they didn't change the sheets .”

Who among us hasn't made the mistake of trusting your employer? Look, it doesn't matter if you have the best job in the world. You have to take care of yourself first and foremost, which means that putting all your faith in the person who signs your checks is, to put it mildly, a liability. These employees shared the most common lies they have been told by their current and former bosses in the workplace. One of the many takeaways we have gathered here is that just like Mariah Carey's vocals, t…

When your neighbor complains to your mother about how you need to mow your grass, you might have a situation on your hands.

Nothing is worse than living somewhere with arbitrary rules about your own property.

Do you remember the days when jobs would provide you with a work phone? Some still do: instead of using your personal phone, your workplace might provide you with a phone just for work . People feel different ways about this. Some love the separation of work and personal life ---not to mention that they'll never accidentally text their boss something that was meant for their spouse, or send a sensitive email from their personal account. Other workers don't like carrying multiple devices, and le…

There are a range of reactions you might expect from an employer when you quit your job: they may be upset, get angry, or pretend like they don't care at all, whereas the jobs you are actually sad to leave will probably want to celebrate with you and congratulate you on your continued growth—even if they're a little mournful about it too. However, the reaction to your resignation you'll probably never expect is a flat “no” as a response. There's not
